well I had a deficit of 813....it's getting a bit higher....but we are still eating leftover Fathers Day food...but as of today that is all gone and back to a better eating plan and my WTPO dvd.

I might try making a protein drink for breakfast and see how that holds me, I use to drink them quite often. Now I am just having fruit and low cal. toast and on the days I exercise I add a piece of cheese or an egg for the energy.

Ripples I'm sorry to hear about your Kitty. I hope she returns soon!

Lynn & Phyllis good deficits! Keep up the great work!

Tuesday: 1275 calories, 1380 deficit, 40 minutes cardio, 20 minutes weights

well I am down 3 lbs in a week.. i have been avg'n about 1 a week hope i can keep it closer to 2 that would be awesome!! see you all later..Kim

Kim - super duper

Penpal - your breakfast shake sounds super, glad to hear from another protein lover.
Could you tell me why you combine the 2 different protein powders? And why both psyllium and flax? I purchased the Designer Whey after looking over the nutritional label, but then when I got home the cholesterol jumped out at me. I used to use the Atkins shakes. I like that they are low in sodium. They have more fat but less cholesterol.
Thanks,
Elyse

Grats Mel and Kim .

I had a good deficit yesterday, 1000 again. I've been fluctuating between 173 and 176 for weeks now and am looking forward to when I eventually break this plateau.

Hellow everyone-

Hope all of you are doing Great and hope the kittys come home soon...

I have had a deficit > 1000 for two days...lets see if i can keep it up!

Ripples- Sorry to here about your kittens. I hope she comes back.

Lynn & Phyllis Keep up the good work.

I have been flucuating.One week I was at 209 and now I am down at my same weight at 204 today. I started drinking 64oz of water a day.I had a 421 defecit yesterday

Melissa , loved your crochetting. I'm knitting a baby blanket - hope it's done before she's married.
I'm back on track. Had a nice yogurt & blueberry shake this am and some veggies for a snack.

I'm trying so hard to stay on program. I really have to force myself to do my exercises-but I have doing them-just not as intensely. I feel like I have no energy. I have been not eating enough for the past few days, but at lunch, I cheated and ate some of the kids (I do daycare) mac and cheese. At least it was Annie's all natural mac and cheese. I felt nauseous afterwards. Guess I won't do that again. When I get hungry later I will just eat lots of salad and some chicken. Layla still has not come home. I think I'm going to go for a walk tonite in the woods with my dog and just keep hoping we find her. I feel so helpless. At least I'll feel like I'm doing something-and I could use the exercise! Everyone's doing great on their weight loss. Last time I checked I was down one pound. Take care everyone. Thanks for the good vibes.

Kim congrats on the 3 pounds! Thats great

Mel congrats on the pound!

Ripples good luck staying OP. You know you can do it!

I'm OP so far today

defecit of 1131.....one of my better days.....weight is still staying still.

I guess I should be happy I'm not going UP!!!

Phyllis

Phyllis we seem to be in about the same place now. About the same deficit and the same weight. We should be dropping the pounds! I'm still hoping for a loss this week!

1494 calories, 1222 deficit, 55 minutes curves

No deficit for yesterday, my dinner at my friends turned out to be higher calorie than I thought! I did run 5k on the treadmill though yesterday so I'm happy with that .

Morning All .

I'm the first one this morning?

Deficit yesterday of 800, not bad considering I did no exercise.

The scales have not shifted again this week so I am fully accepting I am in plateau mode. I'm going to try refigure some things on my menu for next week, adding in some more lean protein and see what happens.

T.G.I.F!!!!!!!!!!

Valerie, yes were in the same place!! I seem to be stuck but I will hang in there...trying to up the exercise a bit to see if that helps but was up .5 lb this a.m......YUCK
