Hi Jessica,
Thanks for answering my question. I too felt that with exercise I should not eat 1600 calories. I'm only 4'10" so that would be too many calories.


Thanks Again,
Gina:flowerforyou:

I hear you! I am 5'5, but it still just seemed like too many calories. I really think each person just has to find out what works for them. So far for me, it works best to stay between 1200-1300. Thanks again Gina for starting this group! It is really helping me.

God bless,

Jessica :flowerforyou:

Hey girls,

I had a successful milestone today, which I just had to share cuz my colleagues and some other friends wouldnt understand.

I was invited to lunch today, which is always my downfall. I'm a cheeseburger, potatos and pasta kinda gal. When I was asked where I wanted to go I purposely chose a restaurant chain that I could find the meals and their caloric content for. I avoided Chili's cuz I love their burgers and fajita pitas. I chose Applebees and picked two meals before going that I knew I could guiltlessly eat, they also have WW meals. So I ended up having the California Turkey Club. I saved half the sandwich for dinner since I have late meetings and never have time to grab something.

This website has finally been the tool for me to reach my goals. I hope you are all having a successful week as well.

Sorry I haven't recorded my weight. I was doing it wrong. But I am down 16 pounds since I started!!!

Pamela,

I am glad to hear you are making good choices too.

We don't eat out often by choice. My family would rather eat "Mommy" food. My son loves to be in the kitchen so it is either me or him that cooks.

Today I made a spaghetti squash southwestern casserole. It wasn't a keeper but, hey, if you don't try new things you'll never know.

Son is in the kitchen right now cleaning it up for me. Of course there is a motive....he is going to have dinner with his friends tonight & he wants me to make cottage cheese rolls for him to take. I can't share the recipe here because they are full of butter but oh so so good! At least he is taking them away so I won't be tempted.

I hope everyone keeps making good choices!

Hey, Janet: Just read your post great job on the lost pounds!

Hey, Janet: Just read your post great job on the lost pounds!

The family and I don't eat out much, but I do because of work. I love to cook though and am always trying something new. I understand the cottage cheese roll dilemma. I made smores brownies for my family last weekend and only pinched off a small corner to try and told them the rest was theirs. It certainly does take will power to cook those things and not eat them.

Great job! It looks like you broke through your little mini-plateau! Seems like you're definitely doing something right.

I was thinking about this group as I was going to bed last night. We're already more than half way through October! Soon, we'll be through the holidays and everyone else will be starting their New Year's Resolution weight loss. We'll be so ahead in our weight loss journeys and feeling great. I'm just so happy and proud to be part of a group who is taking action now and not using this time as a big excuse to gain weight. I think a lot of people will be wowing over all of our hard work during the upcoming holidays.

-Alison

mamacindy81

Hi Ali! I like your good attitude!

Gina: Keep up the good work. I think you did really good at the dinner.

Cindy

Well, if we weighed in on Fridays I could have reported a weight loss. Unfortunately, I didn't work out all weekend and spent the weekend cooking and baking for the family. I ate in moderation but gained that lb back. Oh well, still happy to be at 137.

Hope everyone has a successful and pleasant week.

Thnx linz.

any suggestions?

SkinnyJess

Thnx linz.

this weeks goals: get more fruits and veggies packed with fiber.

Great job on the three pounds!!! Here is some information about the highest fiber fruits and veggies. It's from a thyroid website that I love. http://thyroid.about.com. Hope you are having a good start to the week.

Highest Fiber Vegetables
Avocado
Beans
Broccoli*
Brussels sprouts*
Cabbage*
Carrot
Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans
Eggplant
Greens -- collards, kale, turnip greens*
Lima beans
Mushrooms
Potato with skin
Pumpkin, canned
Peas -- black-eyed peas, green peas
Peppers
Rhubarb
Spinach*
Sweet Potatoes*
These high-fiber vegetables are also goitrogenic, meaning that they promote thyroid enlargement and can potentially cause or aggravate hypothyroidism. Typically, the risk is highest when these foods are consumed raw, regularly, and in substantial quantity. Cooking eliminates most goitrogenic properties.

Highest Fiber Fruits
Apples
Avocado
Bananas
Berries -- Blueberies, Blackberries, Raspberries, etc.
Dried Fruits -- Figs, Raisins, Apricots, Dates, etc.
Guava
Kiwi
Orange
Pears
Prunes

Other High Fiber Foods
Bran Cereals, 5-10 grams - All-Bran, Bran Buds, 100% Bran, Raisin Bran
Bread, whole grain
Beans, Lentils, Lima Beans
Nuts -- Almonds, Brazil nuts, Peanuts, Walnuts, Cashews

Hope this helps give you some ideas!
