1st day for me, and it went excellent! I'm really sticking with my contest prep diet, and it is easier since I really enjoy the foods I eat.0

Soooo hard after the horrible party binge the day before I joined this group. But I'm hoping that if I just keep at my goal most of those munchies will go away and my stomach will shrink back down to size. Drinking so much water!!!0

Yesterday was a good day, with no cheats or wine! I had to adjust my ticker to be honest. I had gained back some of my 9 lbs. lost. I've just got to be honest & strict w/my calories. NO CHEATING0

Today is going very well so far. I have my afternoon cardio session to do still, but I lifted weights for 80 minutes this morning. It is a back and biceps day. May throw in some pullups before my elliptical intervals.
Anyway, hope everyone else is also having a great no cheat Tuesday!0 -
Hi everyone. I am doing good so far. No cheating ! I want a chocolate chip cookie and a piece of bread today earlier and I was able to turn them down, although, I was really tempted. I thought about my long term goal and it helped me get through it. Yesterday, I made myself go back to the gym and got a 1 hr strength training class in and a spin class. I felt so much better. Ok, so far so good. I am taking this one day at a time. I noticed my hunger was less today than yesterday but cravings were a bit stronger.
Hope everyone is having a good week.
Sarah - I am going to force myself to go the gym soon, I am always happier once I am there and done, getting there is the hard part right now.0 -
Had a rough morning, but am going to eat more veggies. fruit and salads for the rest of the day! plus work out! I hate days when I am on the run all day. !0

My weight went up again 200 grs. So I went over my food intake and perhaps I need to stick harder to the 1200 calories and not allow the extra gained ones through the physical activity. I'm a bit worried though for I feel I haven't cheated. I ate what I had planned and yet augmented.
I won't give up, that's for sure. I will finish the day as planned and tomorrow I will try cutting on some of the bread I am taking.
I'll see how that goes.
Have a good rest of the day.

Day 5 done.....and I know in those days I lost 1 lb, so pretty good so far.......I have gone wheat free and today after finishing the book wheat belly I have decided to also start eliminating beans from my diet, the reason I am so strict is because I want to reverse my type 2 diabetes and beans will also spike my blood sugar levels......so be gone beans.0

Well done, mantislady. I also had a good day.

Down one pound. I plan to stick to the challenge with no cheating and lose more this week. I'm going to do a 30 minute Weight Watchers moderate pace aerobic workout after I log out.
Good luck to everyone on the challenge!0 -
beginning of day 6! im so proud myself for not cheating at all!! im going on a mini vacation tomorrow so im gonna try hard to stay in my calorie limit since im sure we will go out to dinner..0

I am on a high protein/low carb diet plan and I have found that sugar free jello helps satisfy my cravings and it's low calorie.0
-
I put on 200 grs again! I'm not happy at all. I had no cravings. I don't know what is going on. I have put on half a kilo in 3 days.
The only different thing I have done is to workout everyday. Is that a possible reason for putting on weght?
What do you think?

Hey everyone,
I am still doing well and no cheating , this is day 4 for me. I am doing no sugar and no white flour. It really does get a little easier every day. However, I do think I am going to buy some sugar free jello. It sounds like a good option.

Day 6 is done.....however I had a lot of problems today.....tummy upset, bloated, dizzy spells, but on the upside my blood sugar level the 3 times I checked today was 5.4 and 5.4 and 6.2 I have not been that low since I became a diabetic.......and that is without metformin, I stopped taking the med 11 days ago when I started my life change plan.0
-
It did! And today went pretty ok, too. Did some kettlebell swings tonight, some lunges, etc. broke a light sweat. Can't seem to press play on the actual workout dvd...am i burnt out? i think i am going to go for a brisk walk when hubby gets home, too.0

This is excellent news! ( not that you had an upset stomach)
How much is the upper limit when check your blood so as not to need medication? What would be the range for a non diabetic person?

Non diabetic range should be anywhere from 4.5 up to 60
