Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

1lb in one week! from 156lb to 155lb (aaahhh well 1lb lost is better than 1lb gained - I guess)

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

Oh but the joy!! I don't know about you lot but are you measuring yourself as well as weighing? I measured myself at the end of my first week and I've just measured myself again. I have only lost 1lb in weight but I have lost 2" off my waist, 1 1/2" off my hips and 1" off my thighs!!

The word 'thrilled' just isn't enough!!

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

Hey Carrie,
No I didnt measure myself.......being as heavy as I am, I rely on the pounds.
So today was week 2 for you and you lost 1lb?You sound like me, except, I am up .5lb so far this week and I only have 2 more days to loose something.
I listed my menu from yesterday and was told to up my veggies.......so tonight I did 2cups salad and some sauteed green beans.Hopefully this will help.REally trying to add more water.I just love diet pepsi, so its been a struggle not to gulp 5 of them a day, especially when the protein makes me soooo thirsty.However.I have only had 1 diet caffiene free pop(we dont have diet rite here,so its the best I can do).This is what I ate today

Breakfast
6 slices of bacon

lunch
2 carb free beef patties
2 slices cheddar(1oz total)

dinner
1.5 pork sausage
2 cups salad
2tbsp caesar dressing
1/2 cup of green beans
4 pats of butter (2 to cook, 2 added)

water:4 bottles
diet pepsi:1

So tell me what you think I have done wrong today,cos I better have lost something by tomarrow.

How did you eat today?Maybe share me some of your meals to compare?Thanks

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

well i haven't eaten much today - I've felt a bit down and I tend not to eat when I'm in this mood.

Breakfast:
None ( Lots of water)

Lunch:
Omlette (made with 2 eggs) 1 cup of salad
Water

Dinner:
None (Lots of water)

I know, it's terrible. I've just felt bad today. I actually don't feel very well so it may be that - not much of an appetite.

My usual day tends to consist of:

Breakfast:
2 slices of bacon and 1 egg
Water

Lunch:
1 large chop or 2 small chops (usually pork)
2 cups of broccoli
Water

Dinner:
Omlette (made with 2 eggs and 1oz cheese)
Maybe a slice of bacon
Water

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

I actually went to fitday and entered what I had eaten today.It was horrible.I was upto 128grams of fat.OMG.....no wonder I'm not loosing weight......how could I be at that rate.I'm gonna try to stick with lean means, and get my fats from butter and cheese,otherwise I dont think it will work for me.Did you weigh yourself at all thru the week?Isnt tomarrow your weigh in day?

[CarrieSmattick]

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

Yes I'll be weighing myself tomorrow but I had only lost 1lb this week so far - I hope I've lost more.

I stick with chops because they're pure protein (and I eat the fat), I cook them in butter to add more fat. Depending on how much veg or salad I have, I might have cheese also to make up some more fat later in the day.

It's harder than I thought to work out what I can and can't eat. So because I don't know if I can have something I'll just go without (which will only make me miserable because I'll start to get hungry) when maybe I was allowed to eat it.

I'm going shopping tomorrow. I'll be buying more lamb and pork chops, gammon steaks and bacon. The vegetables I eat most is broccoli, and cauliflower. I have the odd glass of caffeine-free diet coke, I drink LOADS of water but I always have. I have a bit of cream cheese with lettuce and cucumber for snacks (especially if I need to make up some veg/salad). What do you have for snacks?

[Diva217.5]

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

Hey, actually I dont really snack.I only eat 3 meals so you can imagine my suprise when I woke up this morning and am now 212lbs.I have reread my menus and reread all the support posts and none of it makes sense.I am following induction to the word.I'm limiting my cheese to 2oz, added extra water, cut down on only 2 diet colas a day and I am still gaining.Its not my TOTM, funny enough it was last week when i lost all my weight.I followed suggestions of limiting my fat in protein, so this morning I had 2 lean slices of ham rollled up with cream cheese.For lunch I had a salad with ranch dressing with cheese, bacon, chicken and ham.Now its my moms b-day party, so I snacked on cauliflower and red peppers in ranch dressing, along with 5 olives and about 1oz of cheese.Thats all I have had today.Dinner will be a steak, with green beans and onions.Already had my 2cups salad, so now just finished off the cup of allowed veggies.Drank so far 3 bottles of water and 2 diet colas.Will drink a few more bottles and that will be it for the day, yet you watch......I will have gained.Its very upsetting, cos I worked so hard the first week and we all read that induction(2weeks) is when we loose the most amount.........so to gain is rather annoying at the least.I was hoping to find other people who experienced the same, to give me hope that it will work out, but so far no one has said this has happened to them.
Anyway, let me know how your weigh in went today.I'll keep you posted.Thanks

Re: Tuesday Weigh Ins-join The Challange

A lot of people have posted that the second week of induction slows considerably compared to the first so don't lose heart.

I weighed myself today and I've lost 1 more lb so 7lb in total over 2 weeks - slightly disappointing but its 7lb less than I weighed 2 weeks ago so I'm happy with that.

Keep me posted on your progress and I'll do the same

Hugs always,
