hi!
I stuck to my meal plan at panera's but it still wasnt the greatest of meals. grilled chicken on country bread with LTM and mozz cheese. I could have probably skipped the mayo and cheese but eh, didnt feel like it!
here is my check in:
calories- under by 125
water- by end of night yes
excercise- 200 situp challenge wk3d1
sodium- 2190 (too much for my taste)
proud- that i got an apple instead of the yummy bread on the side and that i planned my meal in advance
i changed my carb-protein-fat to 40-30-30! thanks awestfall!

Welcome badtz!! Everyday we check in with our calories, water (if we drank 64oz), excercise (if we did any) and say one thing we are proud of. You'll catch on quickly!
To all: I was looking at the 'goals' that MFP has for me and they have carb-protein-fat at 55-15-30. I was thinking about tweeking those a little to reduce my carbs and fat and increase protein...what are your thoughts on this and what you think the pros/cons are
I am doing research now so if I change it I will let you know what I change it to and why
I am a little scared to do anything to change it since so far the plan is working for me...maybe I'll change it when I hit a plateau?
~Cris
How would I go about changing this in my profile?0 -
Jess - Where in tx ar eyou ??? I am IN tx ...i know i know it is a big state

Water - none..i know i know i need to get better at this
exercise - nada..i just was feeling soo icky today...i can't wait for the weather to warm up..i really need to charge (or get ) some batteries for the wii board.
Proud - I am almost back to my pre-sprial out of control weight...Only about 2lbs more...since i was up like 8 lbs as of monday.
My head is killing me, took some tylnol and still killing me ..hopefully will go away.
I am supposed to go to take my 3 yr to speech eval..finally...so we will see what they say.0 -

lildebbit-I live in North Texas. The Dallas/Plano/Carrollton area.
awestfall-Thanks I found it! Changed mine up to what you said the biggest loser cookbook says. Lets see how it works out.
Thanks for all the help with the Mexican food choice for tonight. We ended up actually not going. My roomy is sick. Not going to lie. I wasn't upset about not getting to go out to eat. I'm going out with another friend tomorrow so probably best. This way I know my weigh in tomorrow will go great!
Checking in for 2/25
Cals-Under
Water-13 Glasses
Exercise-40 Minutes of Last Chance Workout
Sodium-Way under!
Proud-I'm proud I came home and forced myself to do a 40 minute workout even though I would of much rather only done the 30 day shred that is 20 minutes.0 -

About the protein/carbs/fat ratio, someone posted this link on another thread I read:
http://caloriecount.about.com/metabolic-types-eating-ft93247
I don't know how accurate it may be or how trustworthy the info is, but there's a quiz there so you can find out what kind of "oxidizer" you are & then it makes a suggestion as to which ratio may be best for you. As awestfall suggested, the 40/30/30 ratio is for "balanced oxidizers," apparently.0 -
Hello All,
Checking in for today
Calories - 110 over
Water - 9
Exercise - walking, 8 flights of stairs & my sit up training regimen
Not feeling so proud today as I slipped and at ate a whole chocolate bar. Frankly I'm not looking forward to the weigh in this week.0 -
Checking in!
Calories - over by a couple hundred:grumble:
water - GREAT :bigsmile:
exercise - no elliptical or walk but I did make 17 trips up the steps at work:sick: so I had around 1200 "up" steps in today!
Proud - I'm proud I'm pushing myself on the steps even though I don't feel like I'm getting any better and I'm soooo slow by the end of the day!
We got a new scale today - it has a hand held part that reads your body fat through from your feet to your hands. I'm happy that it gives the same weight and my weight here at home is the same as my weight on the digital at work - it will make my weigh in days easier if I'm home! I'm still reading the owners manaual (yeah I do that LOL!) but so far it seems pretty cool!:smokin:0 -
jlb, that was a VERY interesting thread about what type of oxidizer you are. I am a fast oxidizer, according to the quiz. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, but I tend to gravitate toward more protein, just like it said I should.
Good luck on tomorrow's weigh in, everyone! And remember - what matters MOST is getting healthier!
check in:
calories: a wee bit under. Onward to the p-b.
water: perfect
exercise: 30 mins bike - I am pretty sick, couldn't do my usual 40. :sick:
proud: That I made very healthy foods today instead of lying around and ordering delivery, which is what my sickness was trying to get me to do!0 -
Thanks for the info Jbl !! According to the test I am a balanced oxidizer which makes since because thats what is working for me.0

OMG OMG!! My weight was under 200 for the first time in over a year! I rechecked it like 5 times! I mean its barely under 200 but still! Im just hoping that I dont eat too much when Im out with my mom this weekend trying to get everything done!
check in for 2/25
cals: under
water: under
exersice: none
proud: that my pants were not tight even though I dried them! Normally i let them air dry so they dont shrink up but I didnt have an option when I forgot to wash them in time to let them air dry!
So my mom and I went yesterday and signed the contracted with the place we are going to do the wedding! Its small but pretty which is fine by me bc I dont want a very big one. Tomorrow we are meeting with the caterer and then have an appointment to try on dresses! We are also going to go look at things to decorate the tables and stuff! I already picked up the brides maids dresses... im just hoping one of them will fit bc they didnt have the rite size.. I guess if it doesnt she can just wear a different dress since she is the maid of honor.. but I think it is going to be hard to match the color.
Im stressed but I am trying so hard to control myself from just snacking ALL day. Ive done pretty good I think but I know this weekend is going to be another story since I will be with my mom
My weight last Friday was 203.4 and today it is 199.6! so that is 3.8lbs. Im not sure how to do the percentages but I will be back on later to check it out! I hope everyone has a good day!0 -

02.25.10
Calories: 1363
Exercise: 53 minutes exercise bike; initial test for pushup & situp challenges
Water: 12+ cups
Proud: Well, I'm not proud that I was so tired that I fell asleep after I got home from work and slept for 2 hours and missed my run. But I am proud that when I woke up & still felt wonky (I think I kind of carb crashed from that stupid Healthy Choice meal I had for lunch :ohwell:) I forced myself to do 30 minutes of cardio & the initial tests for the challenges.
I blame my underwhelming weigh-in on the fact that I ate dinner close to 11pm last night and then only got 2.5 hours of sleep overnight. I also had more sodium than usual yesterday. I was down lower yesterday and I have very little doubt I'll be lower tomorrow but it is what it is and I'm happy with it anyway. 215.0 for me last week and 214.0 for me this morning. I'm so happy to be making better progress after that stinkin' plateau.
Tiger12gal: -3.8... 1.86%
lildebbie: 0%
jlb123: -1........ .47%
Tiger --- pay attention. This is really REALLY easy. Take the amount you lost and divide it by last week's weight
So, 3.8/203.4
The answer is .0186823992.....
Move the decimal over to the right TWO places and drop everything after 2 digits after the decimal -- 1.86%0 -
ooh - Thanks JLB123 -
