How I'm dropping the weight

tellybelle

I eat fairly clean. I eat (or try to) fruits and veggies each day (at least one fruit and 3 veggies). I eat eggs/chicken/fish/pork and some lean beef. I eat what my family eats. I try not to over eat. I measure stuff and make sure my servings are really a serving and not 3. I do drink protein shakes with milk, banana, plain yogurt, and flax. I do try to stay within my calories. I am not stressing about food anymore. I eat. Some days I can't make all the calories (if I wake late, forget to eat, etc) and I find the next day I'm starving. So it's been a balance. I try to cook every night and try to stay away from anything white. I don't really know what's going on but love that I get to eat, and that I fueling my body with what it needs. That's really the goal. I'm not on a diet. I'm eating right and setting a great example for my teen daughters. My 16 yr. old likes to work out with me. They get that it's a slow thing when it comes to weight loss. They see that it takes lots of hard working out to reshape your bod. They also are great eaters (always have been) when it comes to fruits and veggies. We try to have at least two veggies at dinner.

Wonderful explanation! This is a very refreshing post. Thank you for sharing and I wish you all the best. I am increasing my calories this week and am so scared but reading this helps assure me I am more than likely doing the right thing.

If you want the most accurate measurement google "your city RMR testing" or "your city Korr Metabolic Testing." From putting on muscle and dropping body fat my metabolism went from +9% to +35% which meant I could eat more 400 more calories and still drop weight :-) Getting my metabolism tested on Day 1 and then every few months after has really helped me get consistent results.
