I just lost 55 lbs
 

HI I am a nurse in Seattle

I lost 55 lbs this past year even with surgery last november & life altering events in April

I am moving to Canada soon as well. lots of stress so I learned to watch for triggers for overeating
I make sure I eat Lean & green meals
I keep my carbs arounnd 80-100
I eat about 1000 cals a day

I keep mind positive. I drink about 80-100 oz of water

I am 10 lbs from goal & I want cheerleaders to cheer me on for the last 10 lbs. I am also here to help & cheer lead anyone else that may need it.

:welcome: nurse :) congrats on your weight loss thus far. :cheer:

You sound like you're doing really great -- but I'm curious who recomended you follow a 1000 calorie diet? I'm sure you are aware that 1200 is typically the amount women are told not to dip below. 3fc is a great place for support, so keep coming back. There are a lot of sub forums -- so hopefully you can find one that matches the plan you have chosen??

and Canada's a great place to live :D you'll love it.

Wow well done! Though I have to agree that is sounds like you're calorie intake could be pushed a little higher!

I didnt want to post the details because I am not looking for anything but positve feedback, but the chicks moderators said I had to

I am sensitve & I want positive feedback

It varies between 1000-1100
It works for me
nothing else has worked for me

thanks for your opinions

You can share what you do, if you like

I agree that 1000 cals a day is too low to maintain your health. You can lose the last ten pounds on a higher calories a day plan. I know from experience that the last ten pounds are the hardest, but if you keep at it , it will happen.

Congratulations on your success. Since you're a nurse, you know what you need to do to keep yourself healthy - just don't forget about that in an effort to reach a goal! I'm happy to cheer you on!

:welcome3: way to go on your loss so far!

Thanks for the warm welcome

That exatly what I need!


I also love the running avatar. I love to run

Good for you Thin Nurse! You are the inspiration I need! I know how hard it is to make the right choices for yourself when your life and body are stressed. You are a strong one...I'm sure you will make fast work of the last 10! I'll certainly raise my water and toast you when it happens!

What she said!

:cheer: You can do it! :cheer:

Thank you
I appreaciate your warmth !!

Life is stressful, this is SOOOOO true

Hello fellow nurse~ :wave:

Big congrats on your weight loss! And best of luck on your last 10. I hope to lose 50 by Christmas, I just received my Jenny Craig shipment today. Keep us posted on how you do!

JC is good but I found it spendy.

THanks for your warm welcome. I think nurses & teachers tend to eveyrones need but our own & tend to get heavy. We rush around & dont take time to eat properly

Good luck too

How was today? were you able to stick to plan?

yes I stick to the plan LOL

I dont cheat, I think thats the secret to weight loss
that & lots of water

Thanks for asking
What plan are you on ?
