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.

nurse congrats on your weight loss thus far.

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 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!

Carol

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!

You can do it!

Thank you
I appreaciate your warmth !!

Life is stressful, this is SOOOOO true

Hello fellow nurse~

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 ?
