Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

I hope you're taking new members because I seriously need your help. I'm a slow loser. I've get frustrated, and then my eating goes all over the place and I need to get it under control. I've tried to read most of the post as you've been progressing and have learned a lot.

Kudo's to whoever....Disco, if I'm right?.... for starting this... great idea.

The problem I feel with Dr. A's book is that he didn't elaborate enough on the rungs. I wanted a little more info there, and I'm not finding it. But, this thread has been very informative with lots of info.

I'm trying to cut back and see if that works for me...

today I had for B: 1 cup cauliflower, 2 sausage patties.
Lunch: 1 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup baked chicken with 1 teaspoon mayo, 1 hard boiled egg.
Supper: planning on mixed salad with spinich .. 2 cups total, 1/4.. few slices cucumbers, few slices radishes, 1 tablespoon blue cheese dressing, 1/2 cup chicken mixed in, 1 ounce cheese, 1 hard boiled egg.

What'd think? too much? not enough?

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Hey Mickey you're so fine youre so fine you blow my mind hey mickey hey mickey!!

LOL, sorry.

So, it would help if you knew your calories and percentages. Do you use fitday? if so plug it in and let us have a gander. Yup, there's no limit on who can join us. We are just those practiced folks who needed to take a step back and re-evaluate things.

I too, am a slow loser. I am lucky to lose 1-2 lbs a month. which is 1.) fine with me, as longas I still lose and 2.) expected because I am so close to goal, as are you.

This isn't a race, your body is going to lose at it own pace, but it's good to take a step back and make sure you are still on track.

damn, I'm a poet and dint know it.
