OMG! 10lbs at LAST!!!!!

rachelmommy1

Well, technically 11.

Sorry i've been kinda m.i.a. lately, life's been throwing some curve balls my way! But I FINALLY made it to the 10 lb mark! YAY!!!!! I have quite a bit more to go to meet my goal but double digits are awesome!

BTW, I tweaked my diet a bit......very high protein and very low carb (except veggies that is....always gotta have the veggies)......i have made low-fat cottage cheese my friend.....well, we're on speaking terms at least. lol

But yay! And here's to the next 10lbs to lose!!! Whooo hoooo!

Whoo! Congrats chica, that's awesome. I'm starting to see numbers drop just a little and it's very exciting. We're about the same weight now with the same goal of 135 :-)

Keep it up, we can do it!

I love having my diary public, everyone knows when I messed up and it keeps me accountable hehe.

P.S. Nolachick, checked out your profile and you said you made your diary public...but I can't see it. Just a heads up.

Actually, since I changed to a high protein diet, i haven't been logging it here, but in a small notebook i carry with me. But here's a typical day for me....

Breakfast: 8oz light cranberry juice
Sliced cling peaches (not in syrup) w/1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
or
South Beach Living Protein Bar

Snack: Handful frozen grapes or
Handful mixed nuts
and a Redline drink

Lunch: Green Salad w/baked chicken w/nuts and dried cranberries
and fruit w/cottage cheese

Snack: Slice of fat free cheese and a mini orange

Dinner: Grilled turkey patty with fat free cheese
steamed veggies
slice of 45 calorie whole grain bread w/ nutella or apple butter


It varies obviously, but this is what I ate yesterday. Alot of very lean meat and only very rarely is it red meat. I don't eat fish either. Also, I keep a bag of those little "cutie oranges" in my fridge for when I need to splurge without hurting my day. It's kindof a version of the blood type diet (i'm o+)

But i just keep my carbs low, my fats healthy, and have good quality protein with every meal.

thnx for the heads up! just fixed it if u wanna take a peek and comment. you will notice that my usual calorie limit was 1200 cals before (wanted to lose 2lbs a week) but that stopped working so yesterday I upped it to 1430 cals/ day ( trying to lose 1lb/week). I hope this works.

I agree with making it public since I feel guilty having to put bad stuff on there but I do it to hold me accountable (my wkends are usually horrible :S)

Great job!!

I have to update as well. I am past the half way mark now!! :happy: I have lost 37lbs and only have 32 to go to be at my goal weight of 150.

rachelmommy1

Actually, I HATE cottage cheese, but the low fat "slim and trim" is way lower in fat and way high in protein and...well........sacrifices must be made right?

Congrats to all for your awesome progress!!!!!!

Good job! :happy:
