  • 1543 today. I use My Fitness Pal to keep track and HIGHLY recommend it! 1540 is the recommended intake the app generated for me to lose 1.5 lbs/week, but it's been falling off faster than that, so I don't know if I just underestimated my fitness level or or it's still water weight (after a week?) or WHAT.
    Anyway, I'm also a night-time eater (snacking is my weakness!!!) so am having a hard time not eating after dinner.
    Dinner tonight was: 1.5 cups (dry) of penne, 1/2 cup of tomato sauce with 1/4 cup of alfredo sauce - total: 630 cals. I LOVE pasta and calorie counting will NOT take it from me!!
  • Hi all! I just recentely joined this site even tho I've been a lurker for a while! I certainly think calorie counting is the most effective way to lose weight for myself.

    I currently am trying to stick to a 1500 a day plan.

    -- overall I'm proud of myself this week. I had 1 can of soda, but that is GREAT compared to drinking 32oz every day while at work! I saw a loss earlier this week, so I'm overall happy. I will be looking into lighter breakfast & lunch foods for next week!
  • Way to go Phat! I'm down to one Pepsi a day...not sure I'm ready to totally kick it yet but it's better than two or three!

    I am so excited. I did 1st WI and lost 10.5 . I was so shocked and happy. My husband will be away working for 30 days, and i am trying to get off to a good start before he returns. I know it will be complicated to do this when he is home for 30 days. During the 30 days he is off from work we have fiesta. We celebrate like its a holiday. Cooking and Drinking.
    I didn't tell him I was doing IP or dieting at all. He is the one that helped me gain all the weight. lol Everytime he leaves to run errands He returns with treats donuts, boudin, cracklins, candy and ice cream and I (the dummy) eat it with a smile. He obviously is not a feather either. I made it thru the week. I love this diet.
  • Congratz PHAT on the soda!!!

    Soo... I didn't post in the last day or two cuz in those 1-2 days I binged all day. I hate how I am really weak around sweet cakes and banana bread kinda foods. I practically ate a whole loaf of iced pumpkin bread yesterday!

    Today I am attempting to get back on track I hope i can keep it up tonight beause I am a major night eater/ binger.
