February 2019 weight loss buds

[Dubchild 42]

I know this is generally an area to detail successful days but I gotta let you know about a bad one yesterday. After seeing a ‘whoosh’ 7lbs weight drop last week from Sunday to Sunday and not feeling so good after a couple glasses of wine the night before I had the worst eating day of the entire year. Had my morning Protein Shake but for lunch I was able to eat a slice of pepperoni pizza. Followed by grazing on half a single serving can of pringles. 4 gummi worms and an oat bar from Starbucks. dinner was take out butter chicken. I was too afraid to get my daily weigh in this morning. I know I have to be better but all of us know the struggle. This is a new week and with a trip to Spain next week I am more determined than ever to get back on track. Cheers everyone

Dub this is not just for reporting success, but struggles as well. We can all benefit from reading about both.

You are doing great, dust yourself off and start fresh.

Question for Protein Bar eaters: Today for lunch I was actually able to entire an entire Kind bar (protein bar). It was a peanut butter/dark chocolate variety, chock full of almonds and peanuts. After I was done, I looked at the wrapper. I was stupid and should have looked at the nutrition FIRST. I felt find after eating it, but was disturbed to read it had 200 calories, 13g of fat, 16g carbs, and 9g of sugar. Only 8gs of Protein. I was wondering if any of you have found a peanut butter/chocolate (or chocolate) protein bar with way less fat, carbs, and sugar and more protein. I have always loved the Kind bars for their flavor and Fiber, but I feel they are full of more carbs and sugar than I should be having. THANKS group.

I've been struggling a bit myself. I've been logging my calories, but have reached for the wrong things a few times this week. I've not had a loss for 12 days and it is discouraging. I'm not eating over 1000, usually a little less. I'm so afraid I'm going to not lose anymore weight.

I like the Quest bars. I was actually trying to steer clear until I get closer to goal but the other night I was out of town and picked one up at a convenience store fully intending to eat half, but I easily ate the whole darn thing and it went down just fine.

After I tried a few almonds and did fine with them I allowed myself to eat to many too often, so I’m cutting them out for now. I apparently still cannot be trusted, lol.

These ones come in many different flavours and sold at wal mart or costco 200 calories, 5g fat, 3G sugar , 20g Protein

Omg, for lunch I reheated my leftover part of my dinner, hamburger patty, and I ended up eating it too fast or not chewing it enough, maybe both, but good grief that was miserable. 2 hours! My pouch does not let me throw up, so I just had to wait it out. Lord, when will I learn!!

Oh no!! That must’ve been horrible! I don’t know if any of y’all have heard this, but my team gave me this info for times when food gets “stuck”.

[taylormomto6 74]

Thank you for posting this! I’m going to pick up some ASAP!

I had leftovers and forgot my stomach thinks it needs more than 2 hours to process meat. I ate a Thats it fruit bar. Sad to say, it was to much. I threw it up. I think I am doing pretty good. Only threw up 4 times in 7 weeks. I am losing 3-4 pds a week.

Hi, Dubchild. First, let me say that I'm not judging at all. I'm just curious how your pouch would actually allow you to eat that much. Did you just eat a small portion of butter chicken? Honestly, I sort of wish I could have little splurges like that from time to time so I can remember what it's like to eat real food. However, there's no way I could eat anywhere near that much in a day without getting sick.

Yeah it was MAYBE 2/3 of a cup total.. and only about 2/3 the slice of pizza . Not trying to justify the choices but at least the pouch kept the portions ultra manageable

[TheMarine79 150]

Do agree dub. I just am amazed of no dumping with the pizza.

[taylormomto6 74]

Oh, I’m sure I could get away with grazing and my pouch wouldn’t stop me. I’m just going to have to be extra diligent or I fear I will never get to goal.
