I am 20 5'5'' 188 lbs , I am on the medical weight loss diet plan, its really hard but I am trying to stick with it. How are you going about losing your weight? I am also hispanic so I know how hard it is to try and diet. I keep thinking about tortillas lol!! I really need to get some energy and excerise.
Thanks for the offer ejb180. I'll take you up on that sometime.
Yeah, Mexican food is delicious! Hopefully i can stick to my Lean Cuisine Meals. I'm sticking to those meals cause its easy to track my calorie,fat, protein intake. I also joined the gym. I began the diet this past friday. So far its going good. It will give us better self esteem. I've been insulted by a male co-worker. He compared me to another co-worker mentioning that she had a nice body but I didnt since I just had a baby...Well that didnt feel good. Then looking at that pic of me which was taken yesterday, well it made me feel like crap. When I was 21 I went from 160 to 105 lbs by eating one taco a day. Basically I was anorexic. That wasnt healthy. I'm trying to lose weight the healthier way. Now that I got married and had a baby I'm back to 160 lbs. How great. I told myself I would never let it happen again yet I did...I've never heard of the Medical Weight Loss diet, what is it?
Wow you have quite a story.! I can't belive your co worker said that what a jerk! Medical weight loss is a program, they supply you with nutrients that help you feel full while substituting meals. It's a good program, but I have a really big appetite, so I feel hungry all the time. Good luck to you on your lean cuisine, what do u do about snacks?? Do you drink a lot of water?? I'm sure you get plenty of exercise with your baby, how old is it?? It was nice hearing from you hopefully I will get to talk with you again soon. Good luck!
I feel quite hungry as well. The Lean Cuisines taste good but at this time, they arent very filling. I'm used to eating large portions, I hope my stomache shrinks soon so I can start feeling better! For desserts I buy Smart Ones. Well, I havent tasted them yet, theyre in my fridge. I bet they taste good though. I do drink lots of water but I have a goal of drinking 1 gallon per day. I havent reached that goal yet....My baby is 6mo and its hard finding time to exercise, but I make an effort and my husband really helps out! I'm lucky!...Tonite I plan on working out and tomorrow will be a new day...
Wow, that's awesome. You are certainly a very strong women, good luck to you and your goals. I have no doubt you are going to make it! Do you have any messengers, I would love to chat with you more.
