Hey gals, here I am!

Hydra - glad everything went ok! Hope your future results are also a-ok!

Happening - water weight is the worst, right? I always get depressed when I see that I've gained 3-4 lbs over ONE weekend especially when I've been on plan. Good to know you're slowly dipping back down.

Cape - Oooh, girly you're just slipping down your ticker! I'm seeing the same trend but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Even though I ate within my range the day I was sick, I still think that weight will come back to me in the next couple of days. Today was err, kinda bad...

Breffix - 1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp cocoa powder (125 cals), Instant Oatmeal (130 cals)

Lunch - 7 spinach + mozzie raviolis (300 cals), 1 bag popcorn (100 cals)

Snack - ok, I made these fried buns that I loved as a kid. I made 8 of them and was tempted to eat all 8, but I was happy with 2. Each 170 cals (calculated ingredients and then assumed all of them absorbed 10% of total oil used) [340 cals] banana (100 cals)

Dinner - Chicken jalfrezi, okra curry, 1 cup cooked white rice (500 cals)

Dessert - 1 burfi, 1 bun (300 cals)

1900. Wow. That's actually right within my range! Woohoo! I also spent 1.5 hours cleaning, doing laundry and ironing clothes so I guess that would burn some of those cals. Hope to see a loss or maintainance tomorrow!

Any of you gals have anything special planned for this weekend? I'm going shopping to finish up my outfit for my vegas trip. Hee hee hee. I get to buy shoes.

I still have about 200 calories left and I am trying not to snack tonight. If I due I will have lite yogurt with fruit or fat free cottage cheese. I did housework and shopping today but no formal exercise yet.

Hi ladies!

Good to know you guys have been on plan. I haven't binged, but I have definitely overeaten these past two days without exercising, which is showing on the scale. Next week, I'm off to Vegas, so I would like to get back down to 161 (162.5 today) before I leave. Toots, I was hoping to be at 160.

So this week, it's clean eating with exercise!

Today:

Breffix - oatmeal (160), 1 cup skim milk (85), 1 tbsp cocoa powder (45)

Snack - pear

Lunch - dunno. Have some options...

Snack - banana

Dinner - dunno again. I was thinking of making homemade pizza...

Exercise - tennis/walk/hike

Hope today goes well!

Totally OFF plan yesterday.

Today:
Huge bowl of oatmeal with applesauce thrown in, diet OJ, creamer.
= 509 cal

AM Snack: Fiber 1 Blueberry muffin, 154 cal.

Lunch: Slim Fast shake, Fiber 1 bar, walnuts, dried fruit.
435 cal

PM Snack: Banana and cookie crumbs: 169 estimated (depends on wt of ban)

Forecasted dinner: Salad.

If I stay OP I will be at 1700, my goal.

Won't have time to exercise: Worked OT, then going straight to my sister's.

-----
9-7 AM Update: Ate perfectly at my sister's last night. Had a salad with minimal dressing, no croutons or junk.
Then totally ruined it when I got home: Had 2 bowls of cold cereal, 1 hot: this was an additional 768 cal, and thus my total was at 2280 rather than anywhere near 1700.

Up a pound this morning.


But what can I say....it's my own fault.

Today was a recovery day

Breakfast
- 1 cup egg whites, 1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, a bit of margarine, and 1/4 cup hot salsa
- 2,3? black coffees!

Lunch
- 1 small yam with 2tbsp 1% cottage cheese, Mrs Dash spices, with a grilled chicken breast and 1 cup steamed asparagus

homemade coleslaw with walden farms calorie free dressing
dill pickles
2 slices homemade pumpkin bread made with walnuts and raisins

diet dr. pepper

I had such a big lunch that I was not hungry for dinner, which is a good thing because pumpkin bread has serious calories and put me right under my 1,500 calories for the day!

Hello, here I am!

Yeah, I'm kinda worried about Echo too. I'll send her a PM and see what's up.

Today was a good eating day, but not so good on the exercise.

Breffix - 1 cup skim milk, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, instant oatmeal cinnamon roll (285)

Snack - 1 banana (100 cals)

Lunch - 1 ft long subway sub. 6" turkey breast, 6" chicken breast. I know I should probably only eat a 6" sub, but I love them. :P (600 cals)

Snack - 1 banana (100 cals)

Dinner - homemade pizza with veggies and feta cheese. Dunno how many calories, the crust is 325 cals so I'll add 200 for feta cheese and another 200 for the veggies. (725 total - overestimation)

Total for the day: 1810 cals. Woohoo!

I went exercising at the mall. Went to get some new clothes for my trip. Just a pair of pants and a nice shirt. I'm waiting until I get to goal before really splurging on clothes.

Huge bowl of oatmeal, almond milk, diet OJ: 575 cal.
(Added apple sauce and canned pumpkin)
