Ok girls, get me back on track.....

I lost 5 pounds over the last two weeks, but I can feel my mental will power started to fade and with the holidays around the corner, I can't afford to lose ANY will power! So starting tomorrow, I am posting EVERYTHING I eat, everyday, and if I don't post, someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE hunt me down and MAKE ME! I lost 41 pounds so far and just 19 to go, I CAN'T STOP NOW! Thanks you guys!

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

First off congrast on the 41 lbs. How did u do it? WW?

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

I did a combo of low carb and WW. I don't feel deprived because I don't deprive myself. Like if I REALLY want a piece of pizza, I have it. I'm looking more for a lifestyle change, not a diet, and low carb has given me more energy and what not, so it's definitely working. I just have to remember at this time of year that I don't live to eat, I eat to live. Now, if I can only truely believe that when I have the cheesecake in front of me!

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

If you do a combo low carb and WW, what is an example of what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I was interested in doing low carb and WW at the same time

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Ok, well, first of all, low carb and WW prepared foods do not go hand in hand, so the first thing I did was cut out all WW prepared foods. Sample day's menu:

Breakfast: FF yogurt, piece of fruit

Lunch: Salad with sunflower seeds, FF dressing, a low fat string cheese, maybe another piece of fruit

Dinner: Grilled chicken breast, a salad, broccoli or some other green veggie.

For snacks I would eat sugar free jello, fat free, sugar free pudding or cuccumbers and salsa. There's so many ways around eating carbs so you can still feel satisfied. For example, if I make tacos for dinner, I either have a taco salad or buy that big leafed lettuce and use that as my 'shell'. Egg whites and cheese are also good for breakfast or lunch. If you need anymore ideas, let me know

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Ok here, I go, I am starting my food journal: So far today (once I move into my house I will have my food points book and will start posting points again):

Breakfast: FF yogurt and a cup of diced peaches.

Snack: a light Polly-O string cheese

Lunch: A salad from subway with an array of veggies, chicken and FF dressing.

Dinner: Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle Soup. Ok, not the best low carb choice, but not terrible either, there weren't too many carbs. Plus I was WAY too tired to go out and get something!

Snack: a glass of 1% milk with FF chocolate syrup. Just enough to feel like I was being bad

Hi guys, I don't have a computer for now, so I will have to start back up on Wednesday, I forgot I would not have regular access to the 'puter till we settle into the new house! Don't think I forgot!

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Ok, with a stomach virus, the last two days have been a breeze:

Breakfast, lunch and dinner: Flat gingerale

And sick in the head me weighed myself! And I actually lost two pounds, now if only I could rehydrate myself, I'll probably gain those two back Ok, it must be the fever making me crazy...or is it?....

Danielle&Scott Posted: Dec 11, 2003 09:10 AM

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Rachael I hope you feel better. If you want to get rehydrated drink water or gatorade....

prncssrachel Posted: Dec 11, 2003 04:38 PM

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Thanks Scott! Starting to feel better today. I have a killer headache from not drinking enough, but I've been refueling with TONS of water today. My mom, bless her wicked little heart, made me home made chicken soup, so I am going to try and eat that. Tomorrow it's back to being hardcore on myself!

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

I feel gross! I have been eating like a drunken sailor the last four days But I'm back and I need to keep ontop of myself, so as we speak, I am eating breakfast, which is half a cup of egg whites and a half slice of turkey cooked with it. Lunch will be a salad with roasted sunflower seeds, FF dressing and a string cheese. I'm so serious, please someone KEEP ON TOP OF ME IF I DON'T POST! THIS IS A VERY TEMPTING TIME FOR ME TO GET OFF TRACK! I don't want to waste all of my hard work!

Re: Ok girls, get me back on track.....

Ok last night I had chicken and veggies for dinner, but I did eat two pieces of Godiva chocolate that I got. But it won't kill me, anyway.....here's today so far....

Breakfast: eggwhites with a piece of turkey. Not so bad, let's see how the rest of the day goes!
