*MAY* 100 lb challenge

BlazinEmerald

I'm not sure this is the same thread or not( I posted on one like this bevore) but since I have over 100 pounds to loose I would love to join you. I do very well in the beginning of my weightloss
started mai 7th 318 pounds
mai 14 311 pounds and 1 inch off both waist and thighs
but I am also aware that it is mostly water weight and will be a lot harder the closer I get.
I do pretty well on my calories, not starving , but I eat to much protein and not enough healthy carbs.I have been on this road to health quite a few times but I hope and pray that this time is the last. I really love all the good advice on here and the support from everyone is great. Some of you might like to check out the Hungry girl web site www.hungrygirl.com where they list foods that are laden with calories and fat and slim them down ( the onionrings and chickenstrips are on my list to try soon) I hope everyone has a great healthy day :flowerforyou:

Hi gabi, My mom just sent me the hungry girl cookbook from the states. and matter of fact I just made the chicken strips and onion rings the other night. I used franks hot sauce for some and a bar-b-que for others on the strips instead of the egg sub. They were really good , Franks seemed to hold the meat moisture a bit better. Th onion rings were good but kinda bland, I suggest throwing some spices in with the fiber 1 breading. I didnt and ended up with a ketchup bottle in hande. All in all I will make these again though.

Yay.....ok, so I am now a true believer in eating up those exercise calories!!! I decided that a few weeks of 1 lb losses and all the extra work I was putting in didn't make sense. So I went into reports and discovered that after working out I really was only having between 500 and 600 calories a day since I burnt the rest up.......I took the great advice that I was skeptical about and saw fantastic results this week!!!!!!!!!!

Started in January weighing 290 lbs!
Last week I weighed in at 219 lbs!
And this week I weighed 214 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!

Ate great this week, felt the energy perking up and I lost 5 lbs!!!! That's 76 lbs down since starting this journey!!!

Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Well I must say ladies, I have been SUPER P*SSED OFF, lol. I haven't been dropping any pounds at all. Matter of fact I keep bouncing between 299 & 300. But, I know I'm eatting properly and I'm exercising so I'm not giving up.Let me tell you what I did though... confession time.

I am a self sabotager. I know I am , I have always been and I fight not to be everyday. So my plan yesterday was. I haven't dropped a pound and if I log on MFP everyone is just gonna tell me Im losing inches instead of lbs. and I just don't wanna hear that crap. So I decided to prove to myself that I wasn't losing inches or pounds and to give myself and excuse to pig out, and I would have... I've done it many times before. So I pulled out my favorite Capris that I havent been able to wear in over a year. And I recieved a shock... they actually fit... I can button them ....and still breathe.

So, I will appologize to all the MFPers, I didnt really think you were blowing smoke, but my brain does like to trick me. So I continue on , and wait for the numbers to drop. Good Luck everyone!

i ate and ate and ate this past week, so i am surprised at the loss, but i'll take it!

hmmmm

Gosh I hate plateaus. I am really struggling in order to show any kind of loss when I post on the june 1st. I guess all the alcohol on the holiday didn't help either, and we having BBQing almost every night although I still try to eat healthy even then too. Good luck everyone June is almost here!
