Hey there, I have had good luck with fruit, Jerky, nuts, cut veggies, protein bars, and protein powder. I pack lunch in insulated lunch box, just like my kids! Good luck!

I am eating 125-150 g. protein per day and it has helped (althought I weigh more than you!) Lots of veggies and lots of water. not been hungry since. I also eat every 2-3 hours and front load on the day (I exercise at 5:30 a.m.) I am literally famished by 11:30 am if I am hungry, EAT!:flowerforyou:

I really like orowheat double fiber bread and english muffins. I never have a problem hitting 30 grams a day:tongue:

Well I can't weigh in today last day at Disneyland but I am putting my goal at 202 5 lbs lower than feb lowest

Thanks Jennplus2 got my almonds and protein bars and powder don't have fruits and veggies but I'll get those for my meals!

Phylijen- I am a colorful person ;) we live in N Calif but haven't been to Disney in about 5 years. The hubby and I are taking our sweet girl (10) to Disney think it will be great she is easy peasy we are going to have fun! Going with little bitty kids can be very stressful we have a 3 day pass and are about 1 hour away!…

I feel you. I am going thru the same thing right now missed 1 day of exercise in two months and have kept pretty good on the calorie track. I keep hearing that our bodies get used to what we Are doing might need to change it up. More cardio more calories different foods have a couple hundred ex:flowerforyou: tra calories…

I will not freak out I know that 1000 calories over on the week does not equal a 1 pound gain but crap a dap it's frustrating when your body holds onto water/weight/whatever:explode: 2/1 211.8 2/19 207.7 2/26 208.7:tongue: still possible to make my 5 pound goal for the month, but highly unlikely as I am in the car on my…

Hey Karen I love my quote too! Helps me put things in perspective! Prism sounds interesting I am going to check it out. I have given up the processed foods white flour and artificial sweetners but still have some honey and sugar(that's next!) Leah

Yep have started walking an hour on weekends now just for that very reason!

TCASMEY, you have inspired me, I am going to do a double work out tomorrow. Double Bootcamp, wish me luck!:tongue:

Well it's been a tough week for me,I threw a baby shower with Treats galore. Baking cupcakes, cookies, chocolate covered pretzels. Damn I am a great baker:blushing: I told my kids the stuff has to go tonight. So have their last treats the rest are going in the garbage. Well for the past 3 days I have been 200-600 over in…

I like fruit and honey, blue berries and 1 tablespoon of honey. It takes a little getting used to it, but I love it! Love the high protein too!

WOO HOO!! Congrats!:happy:

Good job! a pound is a pound, and a pound lost is better than a pound gained. You are getting SO close the the 140's! That's so FABULOUS I have been doing the 10-12 glasses of water a day, I think it helps! keep that water with you ALL the time! :flowerforyou:

Jan 1st 216.7 Feb 1st 211.8 CW 2-19 207.7 Mar 1st 206.8 Woo Hoo! Doing Good! Today however I went over on my calories, but that is o.k.! I'll get back to it tomorrow.

bump Thanks!!:smile:

Congrats! Way to start out! Keep it UP!!:flowerforyou:

Good Luck TMCneil923! Being aware of what you eat, has made all the difference to me!:laugh:

yeah, it the body fat measuring seems sketchy, but it is calipers and the same person has done it consistently for me.

Thanks Dogmeat, actually I am doing a pretty heavy dumbell/calisthenic routine so maybe?:wink: a normal workout is about 80 push ups, 80 squats, 80 overhead presses, 80 dumbbell rows, 80 sit ups with some REALLY fast transitions and ladder work in between. I use 15 lb dumbells too! I wear the heart monitor and average at…

I am so sorry you are having such a tough time. We have all had our own tough times, and they completely SUCK!!!! Hot tea sounds good, maybe even add honey to it! I like the suggestions of the Veggies to cram in your face, while it doesn't fix the problem, it will certainly help in the short term. I have a herniated disc,…

I measure meat, fat, and dairy. Veggies and fruit I estimate (and hope I estimate low!) :happy: :tongue:

So, if you lose 8 pounds in a month, but your bodyfat decreases by more than the 8 lbs, say you lost 10 lbs of fat, doesn't that mean that you lost fat and gained muscle? That is what happened to me last month (I do a bootcamp 5 days a week with a minimum of 500 calorie burn for each session) plus two 700 calorie burn…

I went to boot camp at 5:30 am 5 days a week for a year and a half and saw little change.:angry: Let's face it, it's all about the food (the exercise helps in coordination, but get the food down) Journal Journal Journal, good days:smile: and bad days.:grumble: It will help. After 1 1/2 years I lost about 5 lbs. After 6…

not sure about fire hydrants, but I do sit ups in boot camp every morning!:wink:

Its good, it has a higher protein level than the standard stuff. It is not as sweet, and usually most brands don't have artificial sweetners and stuff. The less sugar you have (and processed carbs and artificial sweetners) the less you will crave. I like fage brand! Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I plan my whole day out and then true it up at the end of the day. Didn't know I could take the newsfeed off, so I just did! Thanks for the tip!:wink: Don't worry if others are fibbing to themselves on their food, it will obviously catch up with them on the weigh ins! BUT as a point of reference, I actually leave a few…
