Isn't it funny how we all obsess about our weight. For me, it used to be about every pound I gained now it's every pound I lose. Ugh! It's all I think about! Today is two months for me and I'm down 53lbs. Sounds like a lot except when u hardly eat anything and exercise daily, I keep thinking it should be more. This process is exhausting isn't it......

I'm at 45 lbs today. Just over 2 months. I signed up for my first 5k in July. And I'm scared to death. Trying to learn to run its a hard process. But 2 months ago I was 50lbs heavier and a smoker so I think I can do this! I hope I can!

The reason is the 400-600 calories your body is in starvation mode. At your stage you need to be getting at least 800 calories a day and also make sure you don't skip any meals and are drinking 64 ounces a day.

I totally agree...i get 800-1000 a day,exc at least 30 min a day and the weight has been coming off....i know most of you use mfp...i prefer to use my tablet so I have a visual of what I'm doing...easy reference looking at the days I'm losing and not losing...it helps me be more accountable everyday...guess I'm"old fashioned" with my pen(glad I looked as I just spelled porn not pen!) And paper....my problem is eating too fast...i CANT make a meal last 30 min! I often don't chew good enough and food gets stuck..I'm still working on that

How on earth are you getting 800-1000 calories in? I can barely get 600-700 especially trying to get all my Fluid in.

For example for Breakfast I had 4 sliced up soft turkey Jerky with 1 scrambled egg with 1/4 c moz cheese...that gave me 230 cal and 20 g protein!

[sky 87]

I ate 2 other pieces of Jerky also..they are small pieces..i had a couple bites left but my dog enjoyed it! ....i always try to add cheese to whatever I eat when possible. I'm a meat eater so I never have trouble meeting my Protein. I try to eat about 5 small meals a day..since I've been doing this I've been losing at least 1 to 1 1/2 lbs a day

Well, I do a shake with milk in the morning about 240. Two or three Snacks at around 200 calories. Then lunch and dinner between 150-200. I get between 700-800 and the weight has been coming off better. My NUT recommended this. I also feel much better eating every few hours. I don't get queasy or a headache. Plus it speeds up your metabolism.

Sky, I can't eat for thirty minutes. I have no patience. I'm still struggling with chewing though. I such a fast eater.

I just don't like to eat things that I don't know the what the calories and Protein is in it...i don't even want to cook anything yet cuz it's too hard to calculate so I've been sticking with alot of basics....whatever I can read on a label haha...funny but before I never bought much ready made processed food. Did more cooking from fresh food..now im in the freezer dept in the store all the time and I don't like it

[sky 87]

I rarely need a shake anymore

I had a Atkins frozen dinner yesterday it was really good 26 grams of Protein and calories was 330 but its a meal. Was the beef with broccoli. The chicken Alfredo is good also it is broccoli and chicken in sauce

I've tried the Atkins...the ones I looked at seem so high in carbs which is odd to me cuz Atkins diet is low/no carb! There's a lean cuisine one I like but can't remember what it is....some oriental one

[worm2872 635]

I think this is why I do shakes and a Protein Bar now and then. Love the label and it's easy. Love yogurt and baby bel cheese for the same reason.

I do a lot of tuna and eggs. I'm starting to cook again, and I really enjoy the challenge of making our favorite foods wls-friendly.
