Just checking in....had my 2nd weigh in today....I lost 2.5 lbs. this week with ediets....in 2 weeks ....6 lbs.!!!!!!!!! or 6.2 lbs....according to my scale.
In the middle of this past week....they upped my calories to 1400-1500....because of the exercise I am doing.
Congratulations on your weight loss~ Must feel great!
I have a busy day....we are going to a pool party and the Fringe Festival is going on in Edmonton......and I am scrapping full time trying to get my parents ablum of 70 years of pics together!
Hope all is well with everyone....I am not in 3fc much these days but I am sure in the fall I will be back in my routine....we are trying to keep active....walking, biking, hubby is running and I am in the pool every chance I get!
Today I went totally off my diet and ate like a pig...you name it I ate it.
Its okay, mentally I was well prepared b/c I was filling up w/to many calories on Atkins foods trying to satisfy my cravings. So I said Phoooie, I'm not going to lose at this rate. So today I induldged big time.
tomorrow back to induction, and I'm feeling real happy about it
April - I'm basically following the 'Slimming World' diet. I don't think you have it in Canada. It is similar to Weight Watchers, but there are lots more 'free' foods. I can eat unlimited pasta, rice and potatoes which really suits me! The rest of the diet is very low fat and obviously the carbohydrates fill you up so I'm not snacking on unhealthy foods.
I've done it in the past and lost 28 pounds, so I know it works for me. I am not attending a class this time, am just doing it at home and it's working so far so I'll stick with it!
Yep! I know it sounds too good to be true but it really does work!
The plan is you can have either a red day, where you can eat unlimited meat and fish, but very few carbs, or a green day, where you have unlimited carbs (but not bread) and very little meat or fish. Because I am a vegetarian I always follow green days.
Pasta, rice and potatoes are all very filling foods so you are unlikely to overeat them like you would crisps or chocolate. I think thats the principle anyway!
Slimming World is very popular over here, I love it as it's not too restrictive and I never have to go hungry!
