Stacy - thanks for the cups tip. Particularly useful for salad. I love badminton too, I try to play once a week but haven't for a month or so and I've lost a fair bit of weight since then and I didn't suck half so badly as usual - but my boyfriend won three times - I get him one day...

Today I ate:
B: two eggs, 1 slice bacon, two pieces grilled hallumi cheese (gorgeous) with tomato
L: tuna and two cups salad, cheese
D: Chicken, cheese, green beans (again, yawn)
S: Oops, had sugar free chocolate - not good! It's my weekend mentality. If I do this again before December 14th please yell at me!

Exercise: football

How did you all go? Have a good rest of the weekend

I am very disappointed. I weighed again yesterday, and I have only lost 1 more pound. I am starting the meat fast this week to see if I can boost my loss. Let me know if anyone else is having the same problem.
This was me yesterday-
Breakfast- Mock Danish
Lunch- Salad with steak, cheese, ranch dressing
Dinner- Small salad, baked ham, green beans
Snack- A Couple of pieces of roast pork

I am sad now!

Well, Ashley, let's take a different look at this. You started in October at 165. As of November 12th, you're at 158. A loss of 7 pounds. You want to lose a total of 55 pounds. Seven pounds is 13% of 55 pounds. So, in a month, you've lost 13% of your total. That is excellent!

How have your measurements changed in the last month? Have you been keeping track?! Please do, since your body may show changes more quickly than the scale. How are your clothes fitting? Please don't be addicted to the scale! A lot of us have this same problem -- the scale shows little change, but our pants are hanging like droopy drawers!

Don't be sad . . . you are doing great!

Hey, Stacy is right - 13% is really good!

Also, I'm a total scale addict. I told myself I could handle weighing myself everyday, because I knew fluctuations would occur, etc, etc. And it was fine when I was losing but when I wasn't I got really down. I'm only going to do it once a week now.

Have you done your before measurements? have they changed?

Best of luck,

Baarb

Hi, I'm Boonie and I'm a scale addict.... I've been clean for 4 days now... a lot of stress plus a lot of extra activity around the house has taken my attention off the scales and my appetite almost completely. Well, hopefully it will pay off - I'm not going to weigh until Thursday, and am continuing my current regimen until Wed. night.

One thing nice amidst the activities was discovering some of last winter's clothes as cold weather is finally closing in for good (was in short sleeves Fri & Sat, though). When I opened them up I was amazed how big they look, compared to what I'm in now. Guess I get to toss some more clothes. So maybe I can now wear some of those things carrying dust in the back end of the attic or recesses of my closet! (That is, of course, once I dig my way into these areas ) But progress is being made!!!

Yippee, Boonie-Sista!!!! You will probably have bags and bags for Goodwill! I'm so happy for you.

Hey Susan,

Thant's so strange - I gave up the scale on Saturday (for a week) and I also threw myself into house sorting - the bedroom and the study both got a thorough going over and some giant winter clothes were put by for charity. Great feeling. I can almost feel the scale's presence under my chest of drawers! Oh dear, that makes me sound mad. My partner threatened to put the scales in his car when he goes off to work so I wouldn't be tempted...

Good luck keeping off until Thurs! I promise to tell if I weigh in before I should.

Re: Who want's to lose 10-15lbs by christmas??

Hey Baarb! I put my scale on the top shelf in the closet and could hear it baying my name for about a week. Slowly, it quieted down and made friends with the dust bunnies!

I am 5'2" and am 177, and will to get to 110 by April...You can do it! When I get ready for dropping some pounds...I get my faborite pair of jeans ( that I used to fit in) and try them on. It's some serious motivation. I do it forst thing in the morning. That was my incentive when I dropped some pounds last year and when I dropped 5+ lbs I would treat myself to shopping. It is a rush!

I, like you want to get to a certain goal by my b-day...it's 2/3 and I'm hoping for 130!


Good luck my fellow ADBB!

DAY1
40-60 MINS OF EXERCISE AND LESS THEN 15-20 CARBS

SW 178
CW 177
GW 110

Hey! I actually hadn't weighed in a week and a half before Sunday. Anyway, I measured myself, and I have lost a couple of inches in most places. I am still disappointed about the lack of loss. Oh well, maybe next week. I am trying this meat/fat fast for the next few days. I am hoping that it will kick start something.

Yesterday-
B- Chicken Salad
L- Chicken Salad
D- Grilled chicken, broccoli
S- Bacon- 3 pieces

Exercise- 1 hour, Step aerobics with weights and crunches.

Re: Who want's to lose 10-15lbs by christmas??

I am bummed this morning, up 2 pounds, actually I should say still up since the extra weight showed up yesterday. Maybe it will turn into a good thing since I have been sitting at the same weight for so long, but right now I am unhappy about it. Went out to eat over the weekend and had a fresh lump crabmeat salad and had it with a remoulade (sp?) dressing. The dressing looked like a mostly mayo base so didn't think it would cause a problem, other than that there is no explanation for it. I am in the mid cycle of my bc pills so that isn't an issue here. Oh well, no use crying over what I can't change. Hope everyone else is doing better.

Atkid, why not just punish those evil scales? Lock 'em up! Bet they'll be nicer to ya when ya let 'em out after a few days...
