hey renee!

i always say whatever works-nothin shameful bout cal counting and portion control-0thats very much like ww flex.

I have found I love fit day. I really only worry about keeping my fat down to 35 grams or less and I tend to keep an eye on the carbs at bit more since I have fit day. Keeping my portions to normal instead of super sized has helped this.

When someone told me about the site. We put everything in for a week but didn't worry about what it said other than fat. We decided about how much of everything I wanted to take in, figured it all from what is allowed for 2,000 diet and changed it for 1400 calorie diet. Doc had already told me 1200 to 1400 give or take. After a week we checked all the amounts fit day said I took in. I was within all of the amounts I had set for myself. So, I just worry about the fat intake and everything else seems to be taking care of itself.

hey renee!:)

sounds like a plan. i dont do well w lower carbs thats why i like ww core i dont recommend 1200 esp if you exercise. your body will hit starve mode and you wont go anywhere.

Have really been working on this and fit day helps. 21 day goals helps too, I make sure I eat 4 times = 2 full meals. Doc says 6 times a day = 3 full meals. I am getting there. You are right 1200 is to low I should be closer to staying around 1400. Got up there 4 times in the last 2 weeks. I have also been sick so if I got in at least 1,000 to 1200 I was doing good. Feeling much better this week but still all mucky. Congested and that doesn't make one want to eat. Have done much much better this week. I just checked my average for the last 11 days is 1194. Still not enough. Going to have to go for higher calorie foods and yet not raise my fat or carbs.

hope youre feelin better! i know how that is! your dr is right tho if you are gonna do MM, you def need 6 not 4. good luck straightening everything out! better you than me!! j/k..... but seriously, alkl that counting is not for me. if you ever burn out, i can def. help you out.

That is great, just talking to people that are making it happen gives encouragement

Guess that is why I am on the " Rennie " plan lol. I don't do without anything but just have it in small amounts. Before i got all congested like this i was doing real well. I don't really count stuff but when I did check I was staying around 1400, 35 fat and 210 carbs. Right on track.

you must have counted something to be able to enter it into fit day though. im all for small amounts of processed foods but io dont worry about the rest. i just listen to my body.

I just take the information right off the packages. What I meant was I don't worry about calories or things like that. I eat what I want. Only thing I ever really worry about it keeping my fat down. I am never going to count all my calories and see if I have enough left for a stick of gum lol.

lol renee! :D

man am i glad i dont have to count fat grams(although 1x upon i did bc thats how i started ww) they had us on a fat counting plan. now they have the no count plan and i love it!

Was just something i picked lol. Was easy to count, and I wanted to lower the cholesterol and the doc said, you lower the fat everything follows. She was right.

lol renee:) shes right its bc fat has the most cals per gram but thereaa b diff bt good and bad fats. are you using 2 tsp olive oil?

whats up renee?

How it's going A...I know I've been a slacker with posting :(

Hi shy ...nice to see someone new in our little group

Hi

I have decided green olives are a gift from God. Only one brand, must be the brine they are in. I just love the things. I fit them in all times of the day lol. 4 or 5 of them have 2 grams of fat. What more could a person want for a snack lol.
