Lucky kid to have a mom feed him so healthy! Love the number of antioxidants you have in the stir fry!

Question to all
 

Hi, folks.

I just realized that my participating in the thread may be an intrusion.

I do not have a problem with my weight (i.e. I am in the "healthy weight zone", for my body structure).

However, I have a long history of not eating healthy (well, ok, when single not eating healthy), and I am currently very interested in nutrition due to recent health problems (as mentioned in another post). Since this thread does focus on healthy eating quite a bit, I am very interested in reading it, and also like adding thoughts here and there.

I guess I am wondering if I may be here as a healthy weight loss ally and a nutrition learner/participant? Oh, and being held accountable for daily exercise (as that is important to my continued health, per doctor...for more reasons than just a healthy weight), would be helpful to me too!

Truly won't be offended if people would like to keep this to a closed weight loss group...it is, after all, the point of the thread!

Zero weight change. I'm now convinced it's the weight training. I just started increased cardio this week, so I think that's going to make a difference.

4.4 pounds to my first goal weight.

Not a bit...glad you're here. :rrose: :)

I love me a good ally! Welcome, Dapper!


I sneaked a peak this morning at the scales and have lost .2 pounds this week. I weighed in last Sunday and was exactly the same and was feeling kinda sad but not discouraged. I ramped up my exercise this week for sure and am following my food plan (mostly). My official weigh-in is on Sunday so hopefully I can get the rest of that pound off!

My weight loss patter has been this so far:

week1 - Lose a pound
week2 - lose a pound
week 3 - lose a pound
week 4 - gain a pound
week 5- hold steady
week 6 - hold steady
week 7 - lose 3-5 pounds
week 8 - lose 2 pounds

And then I start alllll back over with the cycle. It looks like my body does its reajustment for about 3 weeks, which can be frustrating, but looks like it's just how things are going to roll with me. I'll take it!

Lord...I just read that as Welcome Diaper!! LMMFAO

I need damn bifocals....


[QUOTE=Medusa;410496] Welcome, Dapper!

Good morning,

Today is a mini-milestone for me: I officially hit the 50% mark. Yep, one half of me is gone for good, It's strange thinking of a whole other full sized person standing next to me and leaving. Good riddance!

Hey Dapper, good to see you jump in. I'll be interesting in bouncing some nutrition ideas off of you. Given your situation, I'll look forward to seeing some of the fruits of your labor research-wise.

Thinker; I ran across an article yesterday you might find of interest; it's here.

Everyone be good, I'm off to the beach, very sunny day today.


:theisland:

I am starting up again with my weight loss plan.... I had some good luck from May-end of July... and I lost about 14 pounds with exercise and following Weight Watchers online.

and then I got stuck... probably due to stress.

So... here I am again... starting over. The 14 pounds are still off but getting back to it is hard... and now it is a long weekend!

Anyway, just thought I would jump in somewhere!

We got one right!!! :)

My wife and I have an ongoing joke about us/between us about how we have SO MANY GREAT ideas.......that happen to be screw ups.......but SURELY the NEXT great idea will do the trick!! If our cat could talk about when she had the feeding tube and all our great ideas about how to make her more comfortable. :|

Anyway...

THANK YOU!!

We had already made the move to focusing on cardio (jogging, in particular) to drop the last of our unwanted pounds. This article is reassuring!

Was I that obvious that my belly fat was a real thorn for me??? ;)

Thanks again and enjoy the beach!!

Today's jog/walk effort yielded a 41:30 with a total jog time of 26:30.

I don't know where this person came from who is able to jog more than 3 minutes at a time. Aliens must've taken over!!

Welcome and good luck. :)

Thanks for this. I'm going to do a little analysis of my weekly entries and see if I detect a pattern.

This has been my food for today:

Breakfast:
a chunk of shaved cajun turkey breast (I was feeling the need for protein!)
a banana
water

Snack: Fiber One bar

Lunch: Cajun turkey sandwich on thin wheat bread with smoky cheddar (I splurged on the real stuff because it's THAT good!)

SnacK: Pluot

Dinner: Salad with carrot, bell pepper, onion, fat free cheese, vinagrette
and probably a side of steamed brocolli

Snack: Fuji Apple

I generally eat a lot more food than this but I'm really stressed out right now and finding that it's pissing me off to have to stop to eat when I should be spending my time doing other stuff! Still, making time because we gotta have nutrition!
