Hi Ladies -
I finally got around to buying the Ketostix and I'm happy to say I'm in ketosis (moderate). I made the cheeseburger soup last night with the heavy cream, but minus the celery stalk. I liked it just fine - it was very rich and filling, but I can see where it might be too "heavy". I was so sick and tired of salads that a tummy full of warm rich soup really hit the spot. I do think I will try it with the chicken broth and half & half next time as the carb count for the whole recipe was almost 32, with a little over 3 in fiber. I divided the batch into three servings - I just think almost 10 carbs for a bowl of soup is a little much if it's something I might eat every day (and I just might!). Today's plan: B: Slimfast Low Carb Shake L: Cheeseburger soup D: not sure yet Exercise: One hour of cardio and machines at Y |
Yup, it is alot of carbs for a little cup of soup, but I find it fills me up so much that its worth it. Because I dont eat anything at all until the next meal, and even then I dont eat much of it. Its kinda like a magic soup for me :lol:
Today's plan Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ spinach quiche Supper~ chicken (again) and a veggie...or maybe ceasar salad :dunno: |

Today's plan Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ broccoli quiche Supper~ chicken breast with a dijon sauce and broccoli |
Ok, I'm joining this challenge. I want to lose at least 5 more pounds by Groundhog's Day, and then another 4 before Valentines day. That makes a total of 9. I don't think it will be impossible.
|
Ok, so my math's no good! LOL. I guess I added a couple of pounds there to make a nice round figure!
|
had some unplanned marshmallows, and petzels last night....would be alright if it was just a serving size, but it wasnt :no: :stars:
Back to it today Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ tuna melt w/cucumbers Supper~ NOT CHICKEN! I havent a clue, but it wont be chicken!! :lol: |
Well Friday was my weigh in day: 210- down 3lbs!!!! :D But I totally cheated on my diet Friday evening and yesterday was not so good either.:?: :( I am going to good today though!! I am in control.:hun: I am on my way to go exercise right now!!:ebike:
Sometimes this is soooo hard, but well worth it!!! Valentines goal: http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...6/199/210/.png Started WW June1 '05 http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...0/199/210/.png November goal: http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tra...0/140/210/.png I added a November goal because that is when our friends (my hubby's and mine) do a "friends Thanksgiving" and a couple of our "friends" are not so nice about my weight gain, so I would like to shut them up and feel good!!!:bubbles: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: 1 jiggy for every 5lbs. lost!!!! |
:hug: Sokay Amber, you and me both! I was out all day yesterday and didn't plan my eating accordingly. I kept waiting and waiting to get somewhere and by the time I finally got to eat 8 hours later :eek: there was nothing OP anywhere! So yeah, I bombed.
Oh well, I'm prepared. I bought some Atkins bars to keep in the car in case such a day arrives again :) On to a new day, at least I didn't get completely sick - although it wasn't too pleasant :lol: If that's not a reinforcer for this way of life though, I don't know what is! |

This weekend was horrible and I'm starting induction again today. Here's hoping for a better week and weekend.
B:Low Carb Special K L:Low Carb Special K S:Taco Skillet burgers on a bed of lettuce Water:at least 64ozs. Exercise:15 minutes on the bike, 1/2 hour of aerobics/dance, 25 reverse stomach curls and possibly Body Flex workout |
Good Morning!
Do any of you play games with your scales? A freind of mine told me that you always weigh less after you take a shower. Just for fun, I tried it. My regular waking up weight was 172.5 (which made me mad as I've been good and that reflected a half pound gain over yesterday). After I took my shower and blow dried my hair, I was 171. I moved that scale all over the bathroom floor just in case it was sitting funny on the tile. I weighed 171 five times in a row with no other weight appearing. I'm taking the 171! Just concluded 14 days of induction with a total 8 pound loss. I could do a lot better with the water intake. The only "cheat" was one Michelob Ultra with dinner Friday Night. I'm in a high level of ketosis, so I must be doing ok. Was hoping for more than 8 pounds in 2 weeks, but I'm still happy. |
Never heard of that Morgaine!!! Pretty cool tho! Congrats on the 8lbs Great Job!! :bravo: :cb: :cheers:
Todays plan Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ rest of yesterday's tuna, 1oz cheddar and another protein/fibre shake Supper~ chicken ceasar salad Snacks 1 oz cheese 1 cup broccoli or beans |
Totally not the brightest bulb
LOL So I am wondering this Valentine's Vixen Challenge how do I do this?? Do I just pick a weight I hope to be to by that date?? Or is there more goals to come up with.. just curious I definately work "better" when I have a deadline so this will help me.. like right now we are going to Disney in April so I would LOVE to be to my goal weight by the... but having smaller goals would be awesome to.. even though Feb 14th is a little less than a month away I would love to see how close I would get to a picked goal.. thanks for any information :)

Welcome Christine! I see we have very similar start and goal weights, and even more eerie - my name is Christine, too! Good luck with your weight loss!
I made the "revised" cheeseburger soup recipe, using 1 cup of beef broth as a substitute for one of the cups of cream. I didn't use half and half instead of cream because when I looked on the cartons, both had equal carbs, so since the cream was opened and the Half & Half wasn't, I decided to go with the cream. This lowered the carbs to 7 per serving (from 9 previously). It's not as thick and creamy as the original recipe, but it was still enjoyable. It didn't keep me full for near as long and I'm thinking the extra two carbs in the original recipe may be worth it (for me) because of the extra two hours of feeling full I get out of it. I've been working out with weight machines at the Y and I am discovering I actually have abs under this fat - woohoo! |
Yesterday was OP for food and water
B:1/2c. Special K Low Carb cereal w/2T. milk L:Taco burger on a bed of lettuce or a layered salad S:Whatever I don't have for lunch Water:at least 64ozs.

One more pound gone for the Valentine's challenge. 8 more to go. I was confused last night looking at my chart. The ticks on the scale just didn't add up. I couldn't remember what my Valentine's goal was, I thought it was 245, (nice round number), but when I added the ticks on the scale of the valentine vixen chart, it was coming up at 246. I couldn't figure out why I set such a weird goal. Then I realized that I didn't. There are only 10 ticks and I set my goal for 11 pounds! OH ok, that explains it. I felt kinda dumb.
|
Today's plan
Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ 1/2 can tuna & cheese Snack~ cheese Supper~ chicken cutlets drenched in bacon mushrooms and colbyjack :D and lots of broccoli (ended up going out for supper.....so I had a chicken ceasar salad) |

I am going to try to get back on track starting tomorrow though. Wish me luck!:crossed:

Oh no Amber - I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you are able to find something else quickly!!
I haven't posted my menu since the 11th, so don't think I'll play catch up with that LOL. I'll post the last couple tho.... Yesterday B/Fast: 2 cups of coffee, flax oatmeal Lunch: 2 more cups of coffee, an egg Dinner: taco salad w/tomato's, shredded cheese & sour cream Snack: sunflower seeds Only 80 ozs water. Today B/Fast: 2 cups of coffee Lunch: 1 1/2 cups beef broth Dinner: pork loin, spinach salad w/2 eggs, onions, red peppers & HM dressing Snack 2: 4 cups coffee , sunflower seeds Water sucked today. Only 50 ozs. Have been really cold the last couple days (even tho it hasn't been all that cold outside) & haven't been able to warm up, despite having ceramic heaters in front of me at all times. Hard to drink cold water when I feel like I'm freezing to death. This cold feeling is usually a TOM thing for me tho so it usually only lasts a little while, but I felt like this for at least the past month. Weird! Good thing our winters haven't been the usual ice box they usually are, or I'd have to surround myself with ceramic heaters instead of just 2 :) |
You can do it Amber, we're here to help :)
Still doing good Breaky~ protein/fibre shake Lunch~ 1/2 can tuna w/mayo and celery Snack~ 1oz (or 2) colby jack cheese Supper~ same as last night's plan, cuz I didnt have it last night :lol: |
Dug this out of page 5.....looks like I've been here before!! I didn't have to change anything. Now THAT is sad!!! I gotta do better!!
Goals by 2/14/06: 1: Get rid of drinking soda/cappuccino 2: drink more water 3: try to get more exercise in 4: Lose 11 pounds (hopefully more, but being realistic). (Scale should say: 151)scale reads 156!!! 5 more pounds to go! YAHOO!!!! |
:thanks: for the support RobinW & gonna be 150. I'm sure things will work out! Just gotta have faith. :halffull: I am determined not to let it keep me down. :wl: So far I am doing well today. I had a very healthy breakfast and I am about to go work out in a little while!! :hun: :strong:
