Sheesh...just tell me who to send my FQ to...There's no way a couple pounds even comes CLOSE to winning this month! :lol:

There will be two winners this month and that will be decided once everyone has sent in their weight loss. :D :D
It has been said that 1/2 to 2lbs a week is considered to be a good weight loss. Be encouraged you did it!! :-D :-D We are proud of you!! |

Linda Keep up whatever you are doing, it must be working. And maybe in May you will lose more. Are you able to do much walking yet? Apparently, that is what gets rid of the belly. Oh well, I'd better get started, I may have to walk around the world before I take off the extra belly. And DH will only have to go to the end of the county line to get rid of his. It is just NOT fair! I did think of something else that I have done and didn't really realize it. I haven't been snacking. I keep going to the kitchen, looking for "something," but can't find anything I really want to leave empty handed and empty -mouthed. lol I was thinking I hadn't done squat, but I didn't even notice. I think it is because of reading all the posts and the swaps I'm doing. I would rather sew than eat anyway. :-) Thanks for the encouragement. The not snacking thing is pretty hard to do. I posted an idea that Lneal said that she tried and is having success with about snacks. Where in the morning or evening (if you are that together) I select a four or five healthy snacks. apple, grapes, carrots, cheese stick, WW 1 or 2 pt snacks, yogurt. I put those all in a bag and have them available through out the morning and afternoon. I eat my normal breakfast and lunch, but if I want to snack, I go to the preplanned bag of snacks which holds the things I really like. I don't have to guess what to eat, and it keeps me from grazing (bag of potato chips, a few cookies, couple of more chips, few more cookies). This type of grazing is hard to keep track of. Since I am on Weight Watchers, I keep track of my points, so while I am packing my preplanned snack bag, I write them down and figure them into my daily total. If I don't eat something in the bag I cross it off my tracker. I am no longer hungry between meals. And also I don't need to pack as many snacks as I did when I first started this little routine. |

I found that measuring out snacks such as pretzels into 100 calorie snacks is a good thing. And 100 calorie bags of popcorn too works well. I have managed to keep my fat content down down 20 grams or so per day. You would be surprised to find out that gives you a lot of leeway in foods to eat. I use cooking spray, steaming and lots of raw veggies and fruit. I can even satisfy my sweet tooth with low fat coffee cake (even lower fat when using skim milk), no fat banana bread both of these use applesauce instead of oil. I managed to drop 8 lbs this month eating this way. Along with taking the dogs on mile long hikes several times a week. We go up into the foothills of the mountains and hike up hill and over rocky terrian. This gives me quite a workout. I am hopeing by the end of May I will be back to where I was around Labor Day (224 lbs.) my goal is to be 200 lbs. by Christmas. I am sure my weight will go up and down during the holidays so I won't be upset by a 20 lbs loss by then.
You gals are great here, I don't post often enough here in this thread, but I do read you accomplishments and setbacks. So I try and send out good healthy vibes daily. :) Here's a little motivation......... |
