Ugh, I'm pretty sure I won't show a decrease for this Sunday's weigh-in. It's cause I went to my parents' and ate more than I should've even though I controlled my portion sizes and I had no snacks. It's the weirdest thing! I'm getting back on plan now with diet and exercise so in the next couple of weeks I should be dropping again. How frustrating! Just last week, I was dropping steadily at least 0.2 lbs every day and now it's stalled. I'm at 158.8 this morning, which is only 1.5 lbs away from the weight I was before I left, but I feel like it's never going to come. Also, it's getting colder now, and my appetite always increases when it gets colder so this season is going to prove to be a bear in terms of dieting.
Those ladoos (Indian sweet) are going to kill me, I know. Sigh. I need to limit it to one a day.
Cals so far: 1415
Range: 1600 - 1800
Dinner - homemade cilantro lime chicken + mexican beans and rice (350 cals) I'll have to calculate the calories and portion it out so I don't go over this calorie limit. The past few days since I've been back have definitely been in the 1800 - 2000 range (I think one day was 2200) so I know exactly why I've been maintaining. Back on track!!
Walked a mile when grocery shopping today. Will leave for a 3.5 mile walk in another 10 mins. That should make a dent in today's eating.
Happy 1st Oct to everyone! I'm happy Fall is finally here!

Hey ladies!! Hope everyone is having a good day.... I am still in a lil funk so to speak.. things have just been super stressful round here and work as well... and like i have whinned already t.o.m on top of all of it... blagh... need to get back on track with my exercise..I am totally derailed there... I am hoping to get back to it starting Saturday. I need to make myself a schedule, and with my food as well... i have not eaten horribly.. i know it could have been worse, but i just slacked on tracking it and snacked more here n there but i have stuck with having meals so happy with that... well I am off to watch some tv and crash for the night... thanks for listening to me whimp n whine... lol

The scale did move down a half pound and I plan to do a lot of walking this weekend so hopefully I will have more loss by my Sunday weigh in. I really like reading what everyone else is eating as I get some great ideas for myself. I am not much of a cook but I am learning to enjoy it and that is half the battle.
Morning Ladies!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.... I am officially back on track today.. lol had a good breakfast, doing some house cleaning then starting Week 3/Level 2 of TBL Cardio Max 6 week Maximim Results Program.... It is very cloudy, chilly and just plain fall-esque here today...so maybe get out for a little walk later, I love fall but I love chilly fall days much better when it is sunny though...

6 oz light blueberry yogurt
1/2 oz of raw almonds
white turkey with cream sauce and pasta frozen meal *this was michelenas and not so good*
large salad with one oz FF cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp bacon bits, 2 tbsp reduced fat ranch dressing
1 oz craisins
herbal tea
water
diet coke
1/3 cup homemade tuna salad
16 gluten free cheddar crackers
1 small baked potato with 1 tbsp reduced fat ranch

I seem to have broke my plateau, i think exercising a little more and drinking more water and herb tea has helped.
Hey Ladies.. I was just watching Dr.Oz and there were two twins on there who are losing weight.. and have hit plateaus, and Dr. Oz has had some great advice and gave an equation for burning calories that made sense to me... and about how cardio exercise is important but we only burn calories while we are doing the exercise, and if we add in the strength training, by adding weights/strength training our body will continue to burn calories in between the workouts as well... here is the link.. click on Twins who lost weight... http://www.doctoroz.com/
Hey gals, here I am!! I've been MIA because I've been too ashamed/embarrased to list every.single.thing I ate. Um, it was a lot. Let's just leave it at that. As I whined in the Red Team biggest Losers thread, I know exactly why I'm hovering. It's those sweets that my mom made that I can't resist. UGH!! Today I made my game plan. I put everything in Fitday that I was planning on eating. I haven't done this in the past week, which is probably why I derailed. I actually stuck to it!!! I was so proud of myself. Yeah, I ended up going over by 45 cals, but I did take a walk today so I'm sure the 45 will be canceled out. At least, I hope it will be, crud.
Snack: 1 laddoo (mom-made sweet) I actually didn't scarf 4 today, so I'm giving myself backpats.
Dinner: 1 cup white rice, 1/2 cup plain NF yogurt, 1/2 cup roasted bell peppers and potatoes and 1/2 cup chickpea curry (came out a little salty)
Dessert: Dinner was spicy! I could've had another laddoo, but I decided to have 1 cup of grapes instead. *backpats* Haha.
Exercise:
2.7 mile walk. I wanted it to be 3.5 miles but we took a new route just because we were getting bored with the old one. Oh well, time to find another route or stick to the old.
---------------
I'm happy to see those that are staying on track - it keeps us derailers motivated!!! For those in the same boat as me (derailing), let's kick butt and get back on track!! We can do it!! Now I just need to heed my own advice, haha.
I'll probably check back in later tonight. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to see a teensy weensy drop in weight so I know I'm on the right track. Hehe.
BF was going to grill out steak tonight but decided not to. Stayed under plan today, kept it a lower calorie day and tomorrow I will allow myself 1700 to 1800 calories, instead of 1500. I am sitting at about 1,100 for today and I feel fine and full, no snackies tonight for me.
herbal tea, oat straw with pennyroyal today
coffee with fat free milk
1/2 cup homemade tuna salad
2 slices gluten free bread
small salad with reduced fat ranch
herbal tea
10 strawberries
coffee with fat free milk
2 shrimp egg rolls
1/2 cup white rice
1 cup steamed veggies
herbal tea
water
Hi gals! I'm SO excited - I dropped to 157.7 this AM!! Whew... that means it was just an overload of cals because of those sweets. Even though I knew it was the cause, just had to confirm, hehe.
Dinner - 1 cup cooked white rice, 1/2 cup roasted bell peppers and potatoes, 2/3 cup chickpea curry.
Dessert - 1 laddoo (shameface)
Well, at least I know it's the last one so it won't be a distraction in the future.
Exercise confession:
30 mins tennis. I made sure to jog whenever I retrieved the ball, so maybe it counted as more exercise?
Everything's in on Fitday and my total cals came out to 1877. Sigh. Tomorrow's another day so I'll do better tomorrow. How's everyone else's day going? I've been lazy this weekend. Time to get cracking... it's always been difficult for me to be motivated during the weekend. It's ingrained in me to take those two days and either have fun or laze. Hope everyone's ok.
Ang - How'd you manage to get your cafe world score so high??? Gimme some tips!!
C25K week 1 day 3. plus extra brisk walking.
