Ladies, can I join in here?

I've lost quite a few pounds recently, but that's been due to appetite loss (caused by emotional stress and illness) and I'm aware that I really need to take a more planned and structured approach.

How do I pick a number of cals to eat each day? Is it a bit like plucking something out of the air and running with it for a few weeks and seeing what happens?

Hi chicks...just a quick hello. I am off to Cleveland any moment. My wonderful stepmom fell down some stairs and required 15 staples on her head. DH and I are going up to check on her, run some errands and give her a visit. I'll be back tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Hi to everyone !!!

I've been the stress queen lately and just haven't been posting. Hope that changes soon and things settle down.

Nothing new on the weight loss end of things. I seem to be at a small plateau of sorts which is always hard. I remind myself my goal is to eat healthy first and think about weight loss second. It's still easier to forego goodies when you see the scale go down...lol.

I went for a nice long walk this morning and hope to keep the daily routine up... but it's not my strong suit. I also treated myself to a new scale. My other was old and hey it's harder and harder to read/see the little slashes to tick off my weight...lol. The new one has nice big digital numbers. Problem is I bought it 3 days ago and seems like every time I go in my bedroom for something I hop on it and wow does it fluctuate dramatically during the course of a day !!!!!

Lottie ~Gold's gym is fun, I like it but I confess to not doing it lately. Lazy of me I guess.

Beverlyjoy~ sorry to hear about the stepmom, hope she will be ok !!!!

Welcome to the newbies, it's a great group !!!

Have a great OP day everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a little low fat vanilla yogurt with some granola a moment ago...I seem to crave something creamy & sweet, I need to stay away from ice cream

*sticks head in* Anyone remember me?

Sounds like you all are doing well on the weight-loss road. Congratulations! After a rotten summer I've been good for the past week--lots of water, 1550-1650 k/cal per day, the occasional bit of exercise. I haven't dared step on the scales yet.

I really need to start posting regularly here again. It certainly helped with the first time around....

Hello all.

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast:
Oatmeal

Snack 1:
Peach flavored Yoplait Light

Lunch:
Had to pick up Mom from the hospital and run her all over town. I wasn't expecting to be out that long so I didn't pack my lunch. We stopped at El Pollo Loco and I had a Chicken Tostada Salad without rice or the tostada bowl.

Snack 2:
Granny Smith apple with a couple of teaspoons of peanut butter

Dinner:
Had planned to have marintetd flank steak, leftover cauliflower and a tossed salad BUT it's just my daughter and I tonight and neither of us were hungry. So, I had a bowl of Kashi Go Lean and a handful of strawberries. The marinated flank steak gets to soak in the marinade bath until tomorrow.

I also got in Day 6/Level 1 of Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred and TONS of water. The water is pretty easy to get down as that's the only thing I drink anyway.

So...until next time...

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is staying cool today.

Beverlyjoy--Oh no! I hope she is ok!

jab-there you are! Ooh, stress isn't good. I hope things settle down for you soon! Good for you for getting in a nice long walk yesterday.

darkblue--of course I remember you! Welcome back!

sunshine--great job! I have heard the 30 day shred is really hard--keep it up!

So it's been an ice pack and the major pain meds kind of a day for me today. I will be so glad for this knee surgery to be over with!!!! Plus, TOM is here (early...lucky me), so I am feeling icky.

Despite feeling icky, food choices have been good and I have been drinking lots of water. I have my gym clothes all set for the gym tomorrow--I even have my lunch packed already!
