I don't count calories and I'm pretty liberal with my food but here is my basic eating plan:
- Portion control, not allowed to feel overstuffed after a meal
- Avoid excessive added sugars and fats (allowed to use a bit of olive oil for cooking, not allowed to eat fried food, allowed to eat a few raisins, not allowed to eat candy)
- Balanced meals, can't eat a lot of one item and consider it a meal. (Can't eat 30 crackers, but could eat 5 crackers, veggies, lean meat)
- General eating plan guidelines include focusing on lean proteins and vegetables with allowances for fruits and other starches. Also try to eat a good deal of raw veggies and some steamed veggies.

Exercise - some form of exercise every day

Water - no specific goal because it is basically all I drink these days but at least 64 ozs per day.

Eating: Basic 40/30/30 eating; keep it between 1200-1800 calories
Exercise: Curves 3x per week; cardio at least 20 min 3x per week
Water: 80oz per day

Sounds like a good idea to get in "black & white". I'm trying to create as much accountability as possible.

Food: slimfast when at home or work. smart choices when out with friends (about once a week) & whatever is offered at camp (girl guide camps/events most weekends).
Water: as much as I can stomach (this is always a hard one for me)
Exercise: take the dog for a 1/2 hour walk daily. 1/2 hour swim once a week. 1/2 hour cardio & 1/2 hour weights 3 x a week.

[baby steps]

Well as you'll soon realize I"m very new to this site but do work better with some accountability....so my "plan" for June is:

Follow Stage 1 Medifast (as ordered by my doctor because I refused his kind repeated offer of bariatric surgery)....This includes 5 of their supplements, a lean and green meal (with a starch and I"m having a hard time making myself eat that) as well as fruit at breakfast.

Water:...minimum 6, 12oz glasses during the day plus the one 12oz glass I drink during the night...and 12oz of water with sugarfree metamucil as prescribed by my doctor.

Exercise:...ok this is VERY lame...very very lame..week one (I just started this program 2 days ago)...2 minutes a day all 7 days (that involves a walk to the mail box with the dog....
Week 2: (4th-10th)...4 minutes a day, Week 3 and 4 (11th-24th) 5 minutes a day...Week 5 (25th-July1) 7 minutes a day.

Additionally...absolutly nothing to eat after I have gone to sleep for the night

Hope this is the right information

I'll sign up

Food: I use an increadibly nerdy method for determining my cals allowed, which I won't make anyone suffer through, but suffice it to say that I have to follow my cals allowed guideline. (Amounts per day range from 1800 to 2200.)

Exercise:
Monday & Tuesday: gym, cardio 1/2 hour, weights 45 min
Wednesday: some kind of sport, for no less than 1 solid hour
Thurseday: back at the gym, more cardio and weights
Friday: gym again, but must also walk to the gym to get my point
Saturday: rest, but will give myself 1 point if I have taken at least 3 walks by the ocean, for at least 1 mile each, sometime during the week so far
Sunday: sports again, again must be at least 1 hour

Water: hmmm, are you sure Diet Coke doesn't count? Okay, I forfeit this point, I do drink water, but not really ever on purpose.

Good Luck, everyone!
