so i had a really bad "food" weekend..snacked way too much..ate the wrong foods...i got on the scale this morning and it said i was up 3lbs :smile: :smile2: I don't know if it's just a bloating/water thing or actual weight gained, but either way i'm going to be super strict so it goes back to normal hopefully by my weigh in day on Friday. So sad! b: dunkin coffee with skim, about 50 cal b2 (i may eat this in the afternoon as a snack..depends on if i'm hungry this morning or not): greek yogurt, 140 cal l: lean cuisine, 340 cal d: lean cuisine, 340 cal No snacks!!! Total cal: 870 Gym: going. cardio and toning. will push it!!!

today's my cheat day so... b: caramel macchiato skim latte & a crossant (wow i can't spell) l: probably potato soup (from houlihan's..my go to cheat item) d: going out for dinner...who knows.

today is a hard day...had to be at work at 6:30am for a meeting..so i got a huge latte this morning and then need to go out to lunch for a meeting...i'm finding myself hungry all day long. b: venti 4 shot skim caramel macchiato, 300 cal s: 100 cal almonds l: (went out) chicken parm. very thin chicken..i only ate one cutlet when i wanted both (they weren't huge). No pasta. d: probably the other piece of chicken from lunch. Gym: cardio today. i'm very tired--since i started early and will need to work a little late--but i will do a half on the elliptical and i'll try for a half on the treadmill.

[/color] Thank You!!!! luluc: Feel better soon!! So this weekend i was out of control. I mean. really. Think truffles the (s) is for many, many truffles...cheese...butter..etc...SO i must be super strict this week so i don't end up gaining on my weigh in on Friday. Ugh. Today: b: coffee with coffee mate flavor, 150 cal b2: greek yogurt, 130 cal l: south beach wraps, 240 cal d: probably some leftover of the pepper, tomato and feta cheese thing i made yesterday (with a small piece of bread), 350 cal Total Cal= 870 Gym: I MUST work it because my weekend was horrible:frown:...cardio...toning..etc

I do. My grocery store has some flavors, but I like the chocolate ones. As a snack on the weekends i put some cool whip on them (yum). I like the fudge peanut butter chip and the 3 chocolate. All of them are good. I'm totally excited about my weight loss this week (2.4lbs) and that i finally broke the 80lb mark. Yay! Today, as always, is my cheat day so: b: venti iced caramel macchiato with skim b2: a biscotti l: don't know yet. I'll order something d: going out to eat...i'll eat something non-diet lol. Tomorrow and Sunday are back to diet for breakfast and lunch and i indulge for dinner. Then Monday-Thursday is hell again lol.

luluc: Thanks! I feel normal again..i just hope i don't get too hungry... I'm really trying to hit 80lbs this week...hopefully the scale is kind to me tomorrow morning:tongue_smilie: golfgirllv: So sorry!! :cursing: Today: b: venti iced caramel macchiato with skim, 300 cal b2: vita muffin top: fudgey peanut butter (so good), 100 cal s: 1 lindt peanut butter truffle, 70 cal l: south beach wraps (southwestern chicken), 240 cal d: south beach wraps (ceasar chicken), 230 cal Total Cal= 940 Gym: cardio (probably a half on the elliptical and half on the treadmill) and toning (my arms are yuck city...firmer than i was months ago but still not good)

San Diego Mom: Have a wonderful time!! I'm jealous:biggrin: So, it's the day after my tini fill and i'm feeling really tight at the moment (very slowly sipping liquids). I don't know what the heck is up with my super sensitive band!! ugh. Update: I went in to get an unfill because i was getting that burning feeling that just stinks. The doc said that he had to take out .3 more than the .2 yesterday because the band was still too tight. So sad! Anyhoo, i do feel a little better (i think it's just aggravated now)... b: dunkin coffee with skim (i've taken like 4 sips lol). EDIT: Couldn't drink it--threw it away b2: (assuming i can eat it) greek yogurt, 130 cal Just starting on this one at 1pm l: (again, assuming i can eat it) a different brand of greek yogurt, 140 cal d: i was planning on treating myself to houlihan's potato soup...they list it as 387 cal, but i don't believe them. I'll budget 500 for it just in case. Total cal= 770 Exercise= just cardio today..maybe a half on the elliptical and half on the treadmill..

just got a small fill--i'm so frustrated with fills because if i get .4 or more in i end up having it taken out a few days later...so i just got .2 this time..will go back in a couple of weeks to get more i guess. b: venti iced caramel macchiato with skim, starbucks...about 300 cal (a little less i think, but i'm too lazy to look it up) l: i'll have a muscle milk light drink, 160 cal d: again, muscle milk light, 160 cal I hate fill day

i'm another fan of oatmeal with pb and syrup. except i use the instant high Fiber kind-made with water- and stir in a teaspoon of pb and low fat syrup. yum. i also really like organic greek yogurt with honey (that's the flavor- stonefields or something makes it) with some chopped almonds. i also like vita muffin tops (100 cal)...any of the chocolate flavors rock Vitalicious- 100 Calorie Muffins, Muffin Tops, Brownies and Healthy recipes hmm. what else. i like flourless bread toasted (sold in the frozen section) with some pb and all fruit spread on it. on the weekends when i have time to make a real breakfast i usually have scrambled eggs with greek feta (the good stuff from a specialty store) and good quality olives...mixed in with quite a bit of paprika. sounds gross, i know..but if you like the ingredients its super yummy.

today: s: (ugh) had 2 pieces of chocolate this morning BEFORE breakfast:sad: 115 cal b: grande chai tea latte with skim, 200 cal and vitamuffin top, 100 cal l: south beach wraps, 240 cal d: lean cuisine (some pizza option) 340 cal Total Cal= 995 Gym: will either go to the gym or go to the park for a walk (depends on weather...leaning more towards gym since it's a little chilly).

I know how you feel with the fills...if i get more than .2 or .4 i need to get an unfill...so i'm always scared to get more in lol. I think weight watchers would be good if you need structure. I have my own "program" that works for me and my needs. Since i'm approaching a year of having the band..i crave much more. I want "splurge" foods often. So i have them. Just to give you an idea you may want to consider here's what i do that's been working: First, mon-fri i post in the food section on this board on everything i eat. I post the good, bad and ugly. Monday-Thursday i'm pretty strict on my diet. Although, today i woke up wanting sweets so i planned them out to stay within my calorie structure for the day (see the thread for specifics). Friday: i eat whatever (that's my weigh in day). I drink a nice latte and have whatever for Breakfast, lunch and dinner (same volume of food--just more caloric options). Saturday and Sunday: i wake up to a nice latte (these are my fav) and i watch what i eat for breakfast and lunch and then eat whatever for dinner (again i don't binge..just allow myself anything i crave--within reason). So, this works for me because as i'm sick of eating healthy monday-thursday---i just think to myself "well my cheat days are coming" and i lose about a lb or so a week. I should note, however, that i do work out which i'm sure helps.

gosh i woke up with such a sweet tooth today... b: med iced caramel latte with skim milk from dunkin donuts (i normally save these for the weekends, but i caved and got it) 250 cal b2: jello sugar free rice pudding (sweet tooth thing..SUCH a great breakfast choice:ohmy:) 70 cal l: south beach southwestern chicken wraps, 240 cal d: probably some of the chicken enchilada thingie i made on monday, 390 cal Total Cal= 950 Gym: been doing really well this week getting in my cardio and toning...so it's another 45 on elliptical and then toning (weight machines). I usually burn about 600+ cal in 45 min...shooting for that again.

i go to the gym and to cardio classes, but sometimes i just feel like working out at home. I--personally--hate really hard to learn routines so i have several leslie sansone "in house walking tapes." They are fun (i like t he walk your waistline and the advanced 5 mile tape--you can stop at each mile marker) and they are easy (the steps). Amazon has them really cheap, but she has her own website as well.
