Starting Wednesday!!!

[TabulaRosa84]

If officially decided to start tomorrow!

I have about 90lbs to lose and its about time I get workin on that.

Ive decided that im sick and tired of being the fat friend, the one that never has enough energy to do anything, and the one that gets out of breath first.

So here i am.

Anyone else starting this week that wants a buddy?

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

Welcome to the board.. My advice is to have a plan for the next few weeks.. Plan what you are going to cook and eat.. if you are going out plan what you are going to have there before you go.. and when you feel like you aren't going to make it through the day..come here and read and get support!

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

Hey TR,

We should do this together, especially since we're the same age, almost the same height and have the same amount to lose. I'm just starting Day 3 today.

Good luck getting through Day 1! I know it's cliche, but drink your water.

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

Yes, planning to succeed is the best way to make it happen. Figure out what your triggers are, what has previously caused you to fail and make solutions to get you through those obstacles. Jump in the numerous resources here - recipes, challenges, journals, forums, and motivational photos/stories to stay focused. You can do it, we are all here for you!

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

Howdy. Just had to send you good vibes and to encourage you to make sure you're exercising and drinking your water. Even walking 10 minutes, and building up 5 minutes from there every week is a great start if you're just not in the mood (speaking from a procrastonator's frame of mind...yes, that's me ).

Best wishes on your journey!

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

I just started a new job and apparently the thing to do here is walk around the building during your breaks....Im a smoker so i figure i can smoke and walk at the same time. Probably isnt as effective but i guess i can tackle that later.

Im the kind of person that needs to plan, but i dont have tons of time to cook so i ahve to have premade or quick to make items. I think this is how i tend to get off program.

Sounds fine to me as long as:
1. You stick to the veggies limit of 2 cups of salad veggies plus one cup of the other list (green beans)
2. Keep your cheese to a total of 3-4 ounces
3. Make sure you are having some fat with the salads/beans, oil or fullfat dressing with no added sugar is best.

Good luck with your Friday start

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

Soo....i bought some snow peas today...or so i thought. They had a sticker over the name and they looked like it so i grabbed them. I gethome and peel off the sticker and realize they are sugar/snow peas! it says they are 3 carbs perserving however underneath it says no fiber and 3 sugars. now are those the ones i subtract or is it 3 carbs?

Re: Starting Wednesday!!!

They are 3 carbs. You would only subtract fiber if they had any.
I miss those!!!
