Ok ladies, went to WI today. Told counselor I wasn't losing fast enough. So she changed my menu. Said I could be down 3 pounds by next Saturday if I did what she said. I am like Kim, I got to get under 180, that is driving me nuts! I have been in the upper 180s for so long it is crazy. I am at 185 today. So we will see. I have got to stay POP and quit munching. I am also going to start an exercise link back to. I know Kimberly has done that and it has fizzled but I need to do it to at least walk one mile a day. Two to three miles would be better.

Well, at WI this morning I was down 2 pounds. Not sure if I can lose another 5 pounds by the 22nd, but I sure will try. Actually, I WI on Saturday mornings, so that gives me an extra 2 days theoretically. Of course, that will include turkey day.

It's check in day, midway to Thanksgiving. I am down 1.2 pounds since Halloween...it's TOM and I am hopeful that by Thanksgiving I can be down another few pounds. Even if I don't make goal at least the ticker is slowly moving to the right.

Hi Kim #3 -- Wish you the best with the new food and exercise plan. How did she change your menu? You were on Plan 3, I think, did she put you on plan 2?

Lisa, No she didn't change my plans. She changed my menu according to when I am awake. I will get it and post what she said. She also said if I could do citrus (cantelope "I didn't know that was citrus", tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, etc.) that would help. She told me to make sure I was doing 8oz of yogurt (sweetened artificially) and that it was 100 calories or less (she said food city brand fit this bill). She also said for me to eat my fats early and not late like I was. Try to get most of your calories in before 5. That is all I can remember now. I will check and post the menu in a minute.

Roberta, Love the reindeer! My WI in now on Saturday too. I do go in at other times but I am only focusing on Saturdays because I am wearing the same thing and going at the same time by appt. I will however weigh in on Wednesday before because I do not want Turkey day to be my final total and it might encourage me not to eat to much if I can get under 180.

6:30 Protein, Starch
9:00 Fat, Fruit
11:00 Prot, 2 veg, starch, fat
1:00 1/2 dairy, starch
3:00 1/2 dairy, fruit
5:00 Prot, 2 veg, 1 starch
7:00 1/2 dairy, fruit
9:00 1/2 dairy
Bedtime 11:30
Ok this schedule is with me getting up at 6 and going to bed at 11:30. If your schedule is different than that, you can adjust. Just eat within 45 minutes of getting up and at least 2 hrs before you go to bed but eat at least every two hours when you are up to keep your metabolism going but do your fats early. She said the 1/2 of dairy by itself is fine. 1/2 protein by itself would be ok too. just don't have fat after dinner.

I loved the reindeer too when I saw someone else using it. Thanks for posting your adjusted menu, I am going to adapt the times and portions to my plan (Red1 w/o lites) and try to eat every two hours. Someone once posted on another thread about logs and kindling and basically you should combine foods so that you are eating a protein (including a dairy) with a starch or a fruit, vegetable anytime you eat and I have been doing this. I find that it cuts out cravings this way too. I usually eat 10 nuts for my fat and have it with an apple mid morning or mid afternoon.

Glad to see there is another person who WI's on Saturday. I am keeping that schedule next week because I figure that will keep me 'legal' on Thanksgiving since WI is only two days after that. I like wearing the same things when I go too. How funny we are.

Kim,

Thanks for sharing. I am just curious - what do you usually use for your fat? I always seem to use almonds. They just are so handy for me.

Plan 2 with lites
total lost 55 lbs.
Original goal of 50 lbs lost – achieved
New goal to lose total of 65 lbs

My halfway point is today - 4 lbs down, 3 to go.

Oops - I forgot to post on the 10th. My official WI was still at 171. I'm still hoping to be in the 160's by next Thursday. Everyone keep up the good work. It may be slow but it will come off.

Hi all! I'm still officially at 244-5 more lbs?! Man does the time fly. But I'm hoping to w/i tomorrow since my home scale is showing me down some! I'm hoping it's true and that it sticks til tomorrow!

KEEP on going everyone!

Well, I am down to 159 even. I don't know that I will get 4 pounds off in one week, but I'll sure try! Good luck to everyone else and congrats to all the losers!!

Time to fess up...I didn't lose my goal by Halloween and I'm nowhere close to my goal for Thanksgiving. Turkey Day is basically 7 days away, and I would love to just lose 2lbs in that time. Can I do it?

Hey gals. Not sure if I'm going to make this one either. I have been sick with a bad sinus infections since Sunday, and I havent been OP since Tuesday. I feel pretty rotten! Skipped class Monday and tonight. Hope everyone else is doing well, oh and Amy, love the new avatar, you look fabulous!

Hi Kimberley I sent you a PM and am hoping you are feeling much better soon!

I am so ready to get to my w/i. The reduced hours at COD are really making it difficult to get in there any more than once a week. I really do better when I can w/i often. I'm pretty sure I'm down another lb-man has it been slow lately! But that's ok- better down than up!

GL ladies! Since it doesnt look like I'm going to make Tgiving goal so I'm going to extend it to the end of the month!
