My WOE'ing: 30 - 50 NET carbs daily, atleast 64 oz of water, and exercise atleast 3 times a week.
Exercise will be in intervals as I build my endurance. (Example: I walked 8 mins on treadmill yesterday)
Don't be intimidated cause someone else is working out 20-30-40 min or more. They had to start somewhere too and build their endurance and strength too. They can encourage us!!!! They have been where we are.0 -
Yesterday, my carb intake was 60 gross and 41 net so I am right on target...wooohoo
Res, glad you were able to figure out a trigger food. Weird it causes you to gain. As you lose, maybe you will be able to include bananas and PB as a special treat!
Girl, you and Fireswan have your exercise on! I am NOT a morning person so the thought of exercising when I get up, does NOT enter my mind...LOL0 -
Hey Hammbone I am doing net carbs. Didn't do so well yesterday but today is a new day and I will try agian.0

Damunchi, today is a new day and a new start!!!! Keep moving forward and getting right back in the game and you will be a winner!!!0

Hi all!
For my WOE (such an appropriate acronym!), I am currently finishing out the low carb phase 1 of South Beach. Ideally that means carbs of 60 or less. Net that is. I like a lot of fiber in my diet, so I will not restrict that.
Resalyn- Sorry at your loss of the Banana and PB. I found out as an adult that I am also sensitive to peanut butter. I also find that the more "natural" the pb is, the more sensitive I am! That sucks! But, we learn, then we keep going, right? Time to find a totally new snack food that you can love just as much. Think of this as a time for experimenting with new healthy foods.

A part of me loves the early morning workouts - and a part of me hates them with a passion. So far the "love" part is winning, LOL!
I have made general references to my WOE but I will describe it in a bit more detail....
I am following Eating For Life by Bill Phillips - and also doing his Transformation Challenge from his book "Transformation" - which includes strength training 3 days and cardio the other 3 days a week.
EFL promotes 5-6 "meals" a day - which actually can meet 6 meals, or 3 regular meals (with a protein and carb at each one) and 3 replacement shakes, etc. I am trying to keep my carbs under 150 a day,which really isn't LC, but I hope to get that down under 100 - and my goal is absolutely no white bread, white rice, or white sugar - no sugar at all, really. I make my own protein/replacement shakes cuz I'm cheap, LOL.
I am actually doing cardio 6 days a week and strength training 3 days a week because I am training for a Warrior Dash I've signed up for in July. That is a 5K "run" through the woods and there are obstacles - walls to climb, mud to crawl through, tires to bounce through - you get the idea. I won't be running it, I'll be walking it.
I don't run.........well, I do, but only if something really BIG is chasing me. Walking is just fine for me!0 -
Res, I participated in a EFL challenge many years ago.
I dropped a lot of inches. Weight loss was slow but I was building muscle. I mean I could tell a big difference in 2 weeks! Muscle definition but not bulky soo you go girl!!!
JC, great suggestion to replace certain foods with a new HEALTHY food!!! Maybe as we do this, we can share.
I know when I crave sweets, I can eat a little PB on a celery stalk and it seems to satisfy the craving. (I am not a big PB eater, so this does not create an issue for me.)0 -

My dessert was Banana puding. Made wih SF banana cream pudding and mini nilla wafers 2 T cool whip I used to buy a small containers of Walmart deli Banana pudding and thought it was so good and realize after about the third time it did not have any banana in it. so I thought I could make the SF banana pudding and used the mini nilla wafers in it with some cool whip on it. So this keep real well. So far I have been satify with just the one serving . Love it.
Hope everyone have a great week

Hey ladies, I apologize for all the confusion as I learn how to maneuver around this site.
I opened a new thread in the discussion for us to post in as it is a bit confusing to all us newbies to post in the introduction section sooo if you will bare with me, please start using the 6 week challenge thread to post daily in and if you want to add a thread for discussions, please feel free to do so.
Again, sorry for the confusion.
Hope the new thread helps.....
WE ROCK0
