~NoVa Girls ... We're doing this together~
Note to Post-ers ...
I started this thread a long time ago as you can see, but I am the only one that keeps coming back to keep myself accountable and for my record ... I do have an accountability/weigh in thread that I start each month that everyone's welcome to join :) |
OK about me ... I count calories and I walk either on the school track or with Leslie Sansone. I started my journey on 6/1/10 and I think I have done rather well. My highest weight was 220. My lowest adult weight that I remember is 128. My goal weight is 144. It was 150 I thought that was a good weight when I started this time at 195.4. I read somewhere that my ideal weight would be 128-132 but I think that is too thin. So for now I'm sticking to 144 :D
|
HI, I also count calories. I have been dieting since July 19 2010 with a starting weight of a whopping 210 which is my all time highest. I am a yo-yo dieter. I was a chubby teenager and then my whole 20s I weighed 134-140 with no worries about weight gain. I am 38 so I can remember vividly the confidence I had and I want that again. I was 195 in 2007 and lost 40lbs and kept it off for about a year and slowlly it came back...and then some. This time around so far I have lost 5.5 pounds mostly water and metabolism shock Im sure because I havent started an exercise routine yet but I work at home and am always moving around from room to room. My goal is 165. When I get there I may come down to 150 but no less. I have 2 daughters and 2 grand children and one on the way I also have high blood pressure and poor circulation on my left side so the benefits of becoming healthy greatly out weigh the donuts and cheeseburgers! I try to eat about 1300 calories per day no more but most days less. I will up it once I begin exercising regularly!
I AM EXCITED!!! thank you love2b150 :) |
Well so far today my menu has been fairly interesting ... I decided this morning after reading a few threads that I am not going to drink any milk (I actually said no dairy) but had Parmesan cheese so I blew that and no flavored water packets. I have been bloated off and on since Saturday and it also happened to me last month too and I need to find the culprit. So far so good today, tummy is fine :D
Breakfast (220) V8 fusion, Nutragrain waffle, 3/4c Kashi cereal (dry) Lunch (422) salad greens, lite Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, 12 garlic croutons, slice turkey ham, 9 veggie crackers w/ hummus and a sugar free jello Snack (305) 1oz baked BBQ lays, diet cranberry,38 oyster crackers Dinner (365) 3oz grilled salmon, 1/2 cup of broccoli, 4oz baked potato w/spray ICB, grapefruit Total calories today 1312 May add a snack after exercise Weight this morning 178.2 |
Good evening! Today I did very well with a total 1210 calories plus 4-5 cups of coffee (ff powder creamer 1 level scoop sugar) and unsweet ice tea
Breakfast:bag of lite ceasar salad with ff dressing -180 Snack: 100 cal pack chps-a-hoy cookies- 100 Lunch: 2 pc wheat bread- 120 turkey Buddig lunchmeat-90 1 slice ff swiss cheese- 30 mustard, onions, ms dash,and pickles- 0 100 cal pak cheez nips- 100 Snack: rice cake - 50 Dinner: a healthy Choice prepackaged meal; Lemon Pepper fish with wild rice, Broccoli and apple oatmeal crisp- 320 2 slice wheat bread with spray butter and garlic powder-120 I think I shouldve went easy on the bread but it is low cal whole wheat and helps me get full! I only had about 32 oz of water today but I will work on that too! (water does not make me feel full it makes me feel kind of sick so I have to sip and spread it out through the day. have a great night!! |
Jen water use to do the same thing to me. It takes time you'll get use to it but before that you'll feel like your insides are swimming. :( I have given up on the flavor packets for the remainder of the week because I now believe they are what is causing the bloat that I can't get rid of. Your food today sounds great. Breakfast was interesting LOL. I wish I could drink unsweetened tea. You're doing really well and will only get better with time. Have a good night.
|
Thats the exact feeling like my insides are swimming. I will gradually increase my water each day to see if that helps the only problem is my tap water tastes terrible so I buy jugs or a case of bottle water (drinking not spring). Unsweet iced tea is great! at first I put 3 equals in it (lg from Mcdonalds) and now I dont use any eual at all and it is VERY refreshing.
Today the scale said 202.8 at 9:00am! I am excited..not too worried about 8 pounds in 12 days Im sure soo it will level off but I can enjoy it while it lasts :) I ate breakfast a little late yesterday so I decided on a salad because I had a taste for it ho knows why.. Sometimes I like breakfast for dinner.. Keeps it from becoming boring and I have basically eaten the same things everyday so far (give or take a dinner) LOL HAPPY FRIDAY!! HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND!! Be back later with my daily menu!! |
I got up late today, didn't eat breakfast until 10:35 and then I didn't want much. I ate a snack a hour later, (bad I know). I use to drink two cups of green tea with equal when I first started then I stopped, not sure why. I wonder if that has anything to do with my weight loss. I finally had my fries but I only ate half of a value fry at Burger King with two packs of ketchup. The value fry is 220 calories and ketchup 20 calories per pack. I have drank 4 cups of water since eating the fries and my turkey and Swiss I had for lunch. I have not had the tap water here so not sure what it taste like. I use to drink the water from the fridge but we need a new filter. So bottled water has my vote. The sad part is I drink 6 to 8 bottles a day so we go through too many. But it DH wants to keep buying it I won't complain :D. I would say for your water intake on the water make 8-10 boxes on your notebook per day and check them off as you go. That way you'll know for sure how many glasses you are drinking and can handle before you start to feel nauseous. That feeling from water overload reminds me of when I use to drink too much and my mouth would water :D don't miss that at all. Well last month I lost 12.2lbs. This month I am ending with only 5lb but it is better than nothing and I am in a stretchy 12 (just figured this out this morning) and a comfortable 14. I do think it is this bloat that keeps going and coming. I am not drinking any flavored water packs today, but I did have skim this morning and a slice of Swiss and I'm not miserable.

July 30th my Day 60, YAY for ME :carrot:
I know there is one more day in July but I have already come to grips that I am going to be 178 at the end of this month. But August is only a day away and I think I know what to do now not to take myself through this next month. :) Today wasn't too bad. I ate what I enjoy. The only draw back was the sodium. I couldn't shake the taste. But I did learn from a 3FC buddy that my taste buds just may be changing. So I am gonna run with that and watch what I eat. Maybe I will start logging that also. That's a thought, we'll see how it goes. Today's eats ... Breakfast (260) Skim, probiotic yogurt, Nutragrain waffle Snack (140) rice cake, special K bar Lunch (475) 1/2 value fry BK w/2 pks ketchup, turkey & Swiss on 2 slices whole wheat, w/lite mayonnaise, and lettuce Snack (160) 3 home baked chocolate chip cookies Dinner (342) Fit & Active Chipotle rice and beans, 2oz chicken breast Total calories today 1377 Water 135.2 ozs Exercise 3 miles track |
Today was a pretty good day for me. :) I decided to stop complaining about a situation with my work and finally do something about it and Im glad I did. I am still very excited about this diet, I have lots of people happy for me and I am having fun showing my kids the better choices I am making (they really dont care) haha
Today I had about 40 oz of water and my food today was good and filling Breakfast: 2 eggs with tomato and onions (omlet)- 140 1/2 pc of cheese -30 8 thin sliced turkey bacon- 120 (my new favorite meat) 2 slices of tomato Snack: mini box of raisins 1/2 tomato and 1 med orange Lunch:Healthy Choice Chicken with red pepper alfredo- 250 1 wheat sanwich thin- 100 Snack: small handfull of mixed nuts -170 Dinner: 2pc. whole wheat bread 1 slice FF swiss cheese 1 pack of buddig honey turkey meat- 90 mustard, pickles- 0, tomato (again) :) single serve broccoli and cheese -40 1 SS FF jello- 10 Snack: 100 cal pack chips-a-hoy cookies-100 total=1300 calories for the day Tomorrow I will go to the gym and start that ball rolling!! I will have time at nighht to go now since my work hours just got cut back drastically...but in a good way! have a great night!! |
You know I was thinking. The people (family and friends) that we think don't care, they do care even if they don't say anything. In the back of their minds they are thinking. Wow she really is doing this and as the weight comes off it will inspire others around us to do the same ... maybe or maybe not. But at least we'll be able to look in the mirror and say wow I did it. Any who glad things are falling into place for you and you'll be able to finally use your gym membership. Wish I could afford a membership somewhere. I like your food choices yesterday. Tomatoes were your specialty :). I bought some cucumbers and cup them up but didn't eat them. I have been having an issue with salt and that is the way I use to eat cucumber soaked in cider vinegar salt and pepper. So need to figure out a new way, maybe some ff ranch. That's an idea. Got up this morning with a back ache and cramps. Spotting again, maybe tomorrow I'll actually start. Oh and I still weigh 178 :mad: ... Well I'll be back here later. Have a great day.

Wow did you cut your calories? You are gonna be skinny :D. Good job on the eats. Tomorrow is a new month, gotta a goal in mind? I'm gonna try to get out of the 170's especially away from 178, hehehe. I'd like to see 169 by 8/31. Wish me tons of luck :crossed:
|
GOOD LUCK!!! :) :) :)
I didnt mean to cut calories.. I wanna stay around 1200 and then about 100 or so from my coffee intake. For the month of August my goal is to be consistant and really begin exercising and get more sleep.. weight wise I would like to get under 190 or really close. 2 pounds a week is ideal.. |
Thanks, I am starting the calorie cycling up again to see how it works. Today is 1424 gonna try to make it. This is the week of our church Countywide Revival so dinner will be early like 5 o'clock starting on Tuesday. I'm hoping to come home and not eat.
That is gonna definitely take some :dust: I'm a relief usher Tuesday and Wednesday and I usher on Thursday and Friday. So I'll exercise in the mornings. Busy week for me. I tried oatmeal again. I ate it for snack after church with cinnamon and no sugar maple. It's not that it taste bad I don't like the texture. I ate half of what I made ... a big plus for me :D Once you implement exercise I'm sure you'll see great results. You've done pretty well without exercise. Get that water in and all of your sleep and you'll be right there with me :) YOU CAN DO IT!! |
No change in weight today 202.2
my menu was a little weird today because I woke up at noon! so I kinda had 2 lunches and no breakfast.. here it goes: Lunch: 450 1 hamburger patty 1 pc of cheese 1 sandwich thin mustard and pickles Snack: 20 pickle Lunch: 315 1 sandwich thin 1 FF cheese 1 pack buddig turkey lunchmeat mustard pickle 1oo cal pak pringles sour cream and onion no snack Dinner: 400 Smart ones salsbury steak and mac and cheese 2 pc wheat bread with spray butter and garlic powder lg unsweet ice tea TOTAL 1185 I DID ALOT OF RUNNING AROUND TODAY AND I DONT THINK I ATE ENOUGH "GOOD" FOODS TOO MUCH BREAD. I JUST REALIzED THAT AS I WAS TYPING... I sure like pickles :) |
LOL on the pickles, you like tomato too. :) I am hoping today is better than yesterday. I know calorie wise I think I am doing better. I had a good breakfast and a pretty good lunch. I bought some blueberries to try out and went back to the menu in Women's World and found out that I am supposed to eat a cup full. They taste like dirt so I know I can't eat a cup of them. What do I do? I was gonna try Dr. Oz low carb diet for a week. Breakfast consist of a low carb shake or a 2 egg scramble with 1/2 cup veggies and 2tbsp cheese. Lunch 4oz fish or chicken, 2 cups of mixed salad w/2 tbsp regular dressing <--sounds yummy, and 3 whole wheat crackers, Dinner is basically the same but you put the meat on a low carb tortilla, with salsa and bell pepper, 1tbsp of cheese Snack 100 cal pack and 1 hard boiled egg or 2oz cheese. But what do I do about the berries? Gonna have fish for dinner and a salad should be ok huh!
|
yeah I think you will be alright if you really dont like the blueberries but I have had some bad ones too that tasted like dirt..with raspberries too.. Its just one or two but the ruin the taste for the whole mouth full.. Maybe find a low cal recipe you can throw them in ( I will look for you too). I am about to go buy a new battery for my scale and/or a new scale. I can believe I have no kids and its only 5:30! Im excited. I was thinking fish for dinner too but I bought some ground turkey to make chili. I like ground turkey meat in food like spaghetti or hambrger helper.. it kinda tastes like beef.. I have tricked my kids in the past so it must be ok.. Ill be back later with my menu for the day.. so far so good except I had some gummy peachy rings earlier so I called it my snack!!
|
I don't like ground turkey when I make it. I have had it when other people make it with chili and spaghetti but it taste funny when I make it. I have used ground chicken which I like a lot and they don't complain but it's been a while. You know me and the texture thing I don't think I can put the blueberries in anything maybe I can make some mini muffins, hmmm, that's a thought. I want some potatoes or something something starchy what do I do? I am so looking forward to not being in here during the evening for a week. I need to get pass this hump in my journey. I've come to far to screw this up.
Gonna use that :dust: |
Where are you and Kristen and Tamika? Speaking of which where is my friend Kiya?
Well I download three new programs to my BB last night. One is fatsecret.com, the other is an exercise tracker (which I used this morning during my walk) and the other is a weight tracker. I wish I had known about the exercise tracker a long time ago. It works using the GPS function on my BB so I know my distance, calories burned pace, and time. fun fun fun I already went for my walk. My phone said, 2.14 miles in 40min and 34sec burned 164 calories average speed 3.16mph. :D |

Hey save a 1/2 cup of the chili, freeze it. Next time I come up I'll get it. Heck save a cup then I have it for two meals. I am having a pretty good day. Scale said 177.4 down .6 woohoo the scale is moving. I am walking in the mornings now since I have revival all week, it's not too bad. I almost didn't go this morning because of the rain, but I got back so late last night, I didn't want to get up. I weighed at my normal time so I know the number is good, but I wonder what it would have said had I ate dinner at my normal time. hmmmm My food hasn't been bad today not sure what I want for dinner though. May eat exactly what I had yesterday, that's a thought. Well don't give in to the extra eating that's what I did for a few days then I got mad at myself. LOL on the celery I only like it in tuna, chicken salad and potato salad. (don't eat potato salad any more) Thanksgiving is gonna be really interesting. I refuse to jepardise all that I have done for one day (pat on the back). Well need to go eat so I can get ready. My toe was killing me last night and this morning. I'll be so glad when the toenail comes off. Have a great evening. I'll be back tomorrow

Going out of ton this afternoon for the day so Im about to geat a huge (healthy) breakfast to help me for the day! My TOM is almost here and usually I feel as if I have lost weight but now that I actually weigh myself.. I will see for sure!!

Yesterday afternoon/evening was great. I had a good time at the tasting even though afterwards I had no room for a real dinner. I drank a bottle of water and some a cup of green tea when I got home.
I was a little hungry when I got up this morning but I didn't have time to eat before church. I am having a hard time finding clothes that fit. The clothes that use to be tight are now way too loose. I never thought that I would see the day that it would look like I am swimming in my clothes. When I went to the tasting yesterday my friends sister-in-law actually noticed that I had lost weight. That made me feel good. Then this morning at church one of my walking buddies said, Hi Ms. Skinny. I smiled and thought wow, she's calling me skinny. She sees me in my walking clothes often but I guess in regular clothes you can really tell. When I came from church I had a protein shake made with 8oz of water and a serving of Activia lite vanilla yogurt. Not the tastiest thing but pretty filling. I also had a 100 cal pack of chip Ahoy cookies. I'm tired but I find that when I don't take my multi-vitamin I don't have much energy. So of course now that I have remembered I have taken them. Oh yesterday's weight was 174.8 this morning I was up .6 at 175.4, I knew that yesterday's weight was too good to be true. I hope that my weight is actually 170 by 9/6 I really want to make goal for the Labor Day challenge. Well I'll be back later, Have a great day :) |
Well while entering my weight on fatsecret I realized that I am 20lbs down from my start date. :woohoo:

My official weigh in day is Tuesday so if my weight sticks I'll change my ticker on Tuesday morning. Yay ME for now |
Tomorrow is my official weigh in day. I am so hoping that scale says 175 so I can change my ticker. I was 175.4 yesterday, and 175.6 today.
My eats for today 8/9/10 ... Breakfast (310) skim, 1.5 cups honey nut cheerios, V8 fusion Snack (190) 6 baked lays w/ fiesta dip, fit & active cinna twist Lunch (388) cup of grapes, cup of broccoli, 2/3 cup potatoes, 2oz teriyaki chicken, 2tbsp ketchup, fit & active thin wheats Dinner (295) Burger King salad, ff 1000 island, garlic butter croutons, Activia light peach yogurt, rice cake Total calories 1333 Water intake 118oz Exercise walked 3 miles track The boys made cinnamon muffins but the didn't use any butter or oil. I had a half size one since they didn't rise. I have no clue as to how many calories were in it. So I added 150 to today's calories. |
OK my weigh in was .6 up from yesterday so I didn't make my 175 :(. I told Lauren on another thread no more unhappy faces. I did change my ticker to 176 so 19lbs down since my start date. I might be able to change my avatar to 20 by next Tuesday :).
Then I'll have a few dancing carrots :carrot: 4 to be exact :D |
