Yeah!!! You are doing fantastic! I wish you lived by me; I'd sell you my elliptical (I have to go to the gym or I don't pay attention). It sounds like you are creating a great workout room and routine and are feeling good. Congrats and keep up the good work...........

Hey, Tina, great job. Feeling hungry stinks. Are you eating your 3-4 oz of protein, veggies and perhaps a little salad? You can always have an Isopur drink, which is 40 grams of protein per bottle and will help fill you up. Are you drinking your 64 oz of fluid a day?

I would suggest you start a food diary to make sure you are eating enough to keep you from getting hungry.

In either case, keep up the good work and best of luck with your gym. Like Sandradee, I have to go to the gym or I would find so many other things to do at home. I also don't have a basement where I could put the equipment. Have fun.

Thanks Sandradee and Bklynike! Yeah I journal food everyday, but one of the rules Doc put on me for 4 wks was "no liquid calories". So no protein drinks or even my beloved fruit smoothies (I would make my own with low fat vanilla yogurt, frozen mixed fruit, protein powder and a touch of milk...tastes just like a melted Dairy Queen Blizzard ...mmmmmm). I'll have to ask Doc on Monday if I can have my smoothies again!! I upped my food proteins and started taking Biotin for skin, hair and nails so hopefully all will be good in the vitamin department! Thanx again for the great words of encouragement!!

Good for you Tina - a pound off feels great, doesn't it? Keep up the good work, it sounds like it is working for you. Congratulations.
