Sharing Tips before Weighing in

[Misty_eyes 79]

Long story short, I needed to lose 10 pounds in 10 days and ... I lost 12.5. My surgery date is set on January 16th. Thanks for all the emotional support and tips you guys shared.

So-- for those nearing their weigh in appointment, I can share what I did, hopefully it would work out for you as well.

1. I bought a good old Rubbermaid pitcher with 64oz measurement on the side to force myself to drink it and used one packet crystal light for flavor. Drank this all say long at work (10 hours) . Drink Water to curb appetite!

2. I used Crystal light ENERGY ( with caffeine, coz I gave up my espresso, and can't deal with headaches)

Got myself peach mango, grape, wild strawberry and citrus flavors to make it more appealing.

3. Breakfast :Greek yogurt small only

4. Lunch: Tofu mashed with 1 scrambled egg- looks like a pancake when cooked

5. Boiled egg for snack when I am hungry, upto 2 eggs/day.

6. dinner is I cup sautéed Brussels sprout. Or 1 bar zone double dark chocolate

7. I used costco Premier Protein drink 30 grams protein) occasionally to substitute a meal. And when I am really really hungry around midnight.

8. Elliptical machine 30 mins & dancing wii (just dance) 30 mins everyday. I walk a lot at work and take stairs instead of elevator. Park far to force myself to work. Basically trying to burn calories if I can.

9. Dry sauna for 5 days before my appointment.

10. Looked at my calories, weighed everyday and logged what I ate at myfitnesspal app. Meeting the goal weight is too important for me to mess up on so I really forced myself to take it seriously.

*So that's it! i just want to share -- take it or leave it Everyone's different so I wish us all good luck

On our weight loss journey. Hope these tips will help you as well.
