Hi Everyone, I just felt the need to share my weigh in info from yesterday, I was down another pound from saturday which made my total for the week 3lbs even, i gotta say seing results has to be the greatest motivation ever!! I am now well under the 300lb mark at 293.6! Down 34.8lbs since dec 1st, i cant understand why i never took this much 'pride' in myself way sooner!!
I'm totally in the same boat as you. I have cheated and still managed to go down but this time i think i pushed my limit a little tooooo much. I was up 1.4lbs since monday. Really thats NOTHING (neither is 2) but its still frustrating Its nice to go up once in a while though so it kinda kicks you back on track!!! My inches still went down, not as much as past weeks but still nice to see!!
No more nachos and wings at hockey games for this girl lol
It's been a little while since I posted last But since then I've gotten tons done for my July wedding!!
For a quick update though, I've become super frustrated with some of the girls at Herbal Magic. I've done so much work to change my diet and my way of thinking about food but I feel constantly discouraged when I go in for weigh-in's. My fiancee seems to be the only one encouraging me all the time, which is FABULOUS, but I also need a little encouragement from the HM girls too. Does anyone have any hits or tips as to continuing weight loss that they may not mention at Herbal Magic??
Girlie, I am in the same boat as you. Following the diet great and exercising like crazy. I try to stick to the low GI foods as much as possible. I think my body is just being stubborn!! I bought the "lean extreme" meant to be taken before and after a workout. I am hoping it will make a difference. I was only down .4 on Monday and .2 yesterday. When you are trying to get down 2 pounds a week, that just won't cut it. Hopefully, tomorrow's weigh in won't be so dissapointing.
2 dogs and UFF: Your cheats will catch up with you. It seems you can cheat for a while and still lose; but then you go up and it takes a week to get that off. It isn't worth it in the end.
It is frustrating to be so motivated and do everything right and not see results!!!
I'm with you on that one!!! The last few weeks have been bad for cheating, only because i have gotten away with it, but im back now lol because you're right its not worth it!!!
I am a total spreadsheet-aholic and i track my weight and a graph with my bmi and everything on it, i HATE seeing that graph spike back up like it did today when i entered my weight from yesterday lol.
Do any of you conciously eat all your starches at the beginning of the day, or more of your food earlier on in the day? I have been told that can help but i have trouble stuffing in that much food early in the day, i find if i dont have a starch at dinner im STARVING by the time i go to bed!!
I have tried having my starches early and it doesn't work for me. I have to save 1 1/2P, 1S and 2V as well as my fats for supper or I am in the cupboard after. I might give it a try for a few days and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the tip.
I can understand why they would want you to get your starches early. I am not sure I could follow this. I take a salad with protein every day for lunch. I am not sure how I would get a starch in. I guess I could give it a try. If you don't mind, could you post a couple of days of meals you have so I can maybe get some new ideas. Thank you.
you cam have weight watchers bread (2 slices) as 1 starch..add 3 slice ff deli , some lettuce cheese etc...bring a cuppa fresh veggies as well a fruit..a very good lunch! supper...grill up some pork steaks or chicken..use your flavo magic too...steam green beans etc (i try to syay away from starchy veggies)
snack/free exchange....tru the 100c rice cake treat...
Its nice to go up once in a while though so it kinda kicks you back on track!!! My inches still went down, not as much as past weeks but still nice to see!!
