Re: Diet

sometimes you just need some water! and sometimes you need food! I'm still learning how to tell the difference

Re: Diet

The 100 calorie packs are the best!! They're a good tasty snack and they're pretty filling. Tinadansr is right about the water....I read somewhere that if you take your weight and divided by 2, this # is the # of ounces of water you should drink per day. Its a good way to fill up when you're feeling a little hungry.

Re: Diet

i started a diet today. You girls are motivating the hell out of me. lol.

I'm in desperate need of losing a LOT of weight... i'm healthy right now, but definitely overweight... like i can do a lot of aerobic activity without getting pooped and my BP and cholesterol are just a little above average...

(my BP has ALWAYS been above average since I was born...i had a heart murmur and elevated WBC's my entire life so im not shocked by that)

so im gonna work on losin the pounds... after 10 AM i'm only drinking WATER for the rest of the day... and i found out that ONE bagel with LOW FAT cream cheese is 590 calories!!! WHAT THE HELL???

i'm a jewish girl from long island... i was raised on bagels!!! i'm kicking myself in the tush right now...if i hadnt eaten all the bagels ive ever eaten, imagine how NOT fat i'd be!

UGHH!!!

Re: Diet

You can do it Meg!!! Its hard in the beginning but eventually you will get used to the change in eating habits.
I lost 50 pounds so far, and something that really helped me was drinking dannon light and fit smoothies, they are really filling and they are only 60 calories.

mdawg,

make sure that you are doing something you can live with, its a life style change. hink, Can you live the rest of your life drinking only water for the rest of the day? Eat little things all day long! Fruit and veggies, yogert, pretzels.. I love baked lays potatoe chips, along with all the water.

Re: Diet

Absolutely Steph...a lifestyle change, not just a diet. Some ideas that I use are to eat oatmeal or a high fiber cereal for breakfast. Sometimes I have an eggwhite omelette or an omelette with egg beaters. Every lunch or dinner I have includes some sort of salad with it for added veggies, fiber and to help me fill up. The 94% fat free popcorn is delicious and very healthy. I eat one yogurt a day to get some milk in my diet. I also have a sever sweet tooth. I by the chocolate vitatops. They are so good! microwave them for about 45 seconds and put a little cool whip on! delicious! Or, try the weight watchers fudge bars!

mdawg,

Yeah I can definitely do the only drinking water thing after 10 AM...i did that already when i was on the Atkins diet, but hell no i will not give up my carbs for the rest of my life. lol. Like yesterday I had 2 egg whites for breakfast with a coffee (which is why i specified after 10 lol), one of the lean cuisine pizza things for lunch (with water, of course), and grilled chicken with cheese (i love cheese :( ), mashed potatoes (which i know are bad for you, but come on... in moderation they wont kill me), and again, water. I was totally fine the whole day.

But thank you for reminding me that i should include fruits and veggies... unfortunately my digestive tract does not let me eat fruit without reprecussions, but veggies i could eat all day long. Thanks for the advice... i completely forgot about carrying veggies around with me... such a good idea.
