12/28 Weight loss support diary

I am on the Slim Fast diet. I started it yesteday, after a weight gain of 68 pounds over 1 1/2 years, bringing me to 218 pounds. Yikes! I want to be 140 pounds but I know I won't get there before the wedding so I will settle with losing an average of 3 pounds per week or 48 pound total. That will bring me down to 170 pounds.

So, I had 1 shake for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and 2 crackers as my snack. But for dinner I had 1 piece of roastbeef, green beans, and a portion of pasta that was way bigger than I should have had. I need to control my portion sizes from now on.

Yesterday I noticed I was kind of shakey and had a light throbbing headache. So 1 day down, 113 to go.

Today I am going to try to drink some water with lemon to help control the shakiness. Maybe have some fat free, sugar free jello for my snack instead of crackers. I don't like the Slim Fast bars. I am also going to the gym during lunch to do some cardio for 45 minutes.

So, who's next?

Ok, didn't have breakfast yet. Not good. Planning on oatmeal.
I am determined to get back into a routine at the gym. I was doing so well for months and have no idea why I just fell out of rhythm. So today afterwork, here we go.
Plan to have soup for lunch and going to the grocery store so I actually have some fruits and veggies in the house. I will try to actually EAT them too!

We can do this! Slow and steady wins the race. (I get so impatient sometimes).

haven't had breakfast yet, but i think i'm having oatmeal. i did have a glass of milk before leaving home though.

for lunch i brought a yo crunch and pretzels. afternoon snack of carrots.

not sure about dinner yet. probably a ww meal b/c we have no food in the house!!

and tonight is a gym night, either 30 minutes running or elliptical.

dont give up cubanbride!!! FH told me about the headaches and shakes you will have

it gets better and you will totally eat less, but you have to get through the withdrawal of food


im already off to a bad start- had a roll with some butter for bkfst....all my in-laws eat for breakfst is bagels or rolls...im screwed till thurs

If you can try to incorporate som weight training in your work out. It really helps you look and feel better and your muscles continue to burn fat after your working out. Also the ache helps you remember you're doing something good for your body.

Good luck!

I'm so hungry! I'm using all of will power to not go to down to the cafeteria and get something bad to eat! I'm trying to keep drinking my water to keep my occupied!

For breakfast I had a slice of ww toast with a tsp of sugar free jelly, cup of oatmeal an orange. I had a cup of popcorn for a mid morning snack.

For lunch I had a veg burrito minus the cheese. Another orange (theres a huge basket in the office from a client in Florida...

Dinner is a different story. FH can eat whatever he likes and won't gain an ounce. So its always hard to have a bowl of salad when he's eating a juicy steak...lol

Maybe we'll do porkchops for dinner...

i got very good for lunch...tomato and liverwurst sandwich with pickles...only a little mayo

dinner was horrible so i barely touched it- spareribs, bakes potato, corn on the cob


prob is now im hungry :(

I am starting tomorrow
Good Luck all
