Healthy Weight Loss

PinkieLee · 11-17-2011, 08:49 AM

and the ball has started rolling again! Weigh in today, 2 more pounds gone forever! Yep, a fabulous way to start the day with gentle reminder that YES, the tracking food does work for me.... and that I should really stick to the program.

Y'all have a great day!

Congrats PinkyLee! All of you are inspiring and motivating.

Had another good day but no weight loss. It is what it is.

I am continuing to weigh daily. For me, it is the only way to have reality hit me and keep me out of denial-even if the the pounds remain the same.

Have a healthy day all!

My friend, a no loss is better than a gain anyday

You keep up the great work and I bet you'll see a loss next week!

One nice thing about this thread, is that many of us are on different plans, but we all have one goal in mind ~ to become healthier! It's great to see different options that people are using on their journeys, because you never know when your current one might not be working for you anymore, and you need to switch things up.

So, y'all the dreaded Thanksgiving dinner is fast approaching next week! I've started making my list and modifying receipes to be healthier. What I've got going so far...

a spiral ham (yeah, no way around that one)
mashed red potatoes (with skim milk, very little butter and NO salt)
baked squash (instead of sweet potato casserole, thanks Kelt

)
steamed green beans and/or corn
wheat dinner rolls

I've been trying to decide if I'll make a salad, too... I just worry that it will go to waste because I'll be the only one that eats it. I MAY just get a bag salad, and cut up fresh cucumber & tomatoes.... my parents will at least eat those.

as for desserts:
pumpkin pie (with the fat free cool whip)
chocolate pie (made with skim milk, reduced fat graham cracker crust & fat free cool whip.. shhhhhhhh my brother will never know the difference)

Your dinner sounds yummy and I will be still eating yogurt and soft foods until my mouth heals.

No way can you forgo the sprial ham and green beans..

Congrats on your weight loss!!!!

Zimmy..I feel for ya with haveing teeth pulled,years ago I had corrective surgery done after naveing my nose broke a fue times and my jaw bone haveing some spurs at the joint from haveing my head/face banged around rideing bronks/bulls in all girl rodeos...5 surgerys in 4 weeks...was not cool.It took me a while to figure out what I could eat and not eat..u must have the disposition of a saint cause I was a p.o'd bear for a while.

I am dancing right now! I have lost 2 pounds this week!! Yeah!

Not only that but got into the next decade!

I believe that I shared that I look at each 10 pounds as a decade, rather than the overwhelming amount that I had started with. Much easier mentally to do it that for me.

To tell myself: You can lose 10 pounds! When I accomplish that, I move onto the next 10.

Exercise is key too. I had stopped walking for several months but am back to that again.

When my dogs died I just stopped caring and it was shocking how fast the pounds came back on. I gained back 10 of my 50, in less than 6-months!

I am actually losing the same pounds I already lost damn-it!

Oh well, did it before, will do it again!

Hang in there everyone

Have a good night,

Zimmeh

Good Morning Everyone,

I just had my last solid breakfast of one and a half waffles with water. Not the best breakfast, but atleast it is something. My dentist appointment is at 10:45am this morning...

:eatinghe rsheybar:

Hope you all have a fantastic day and I will see you all this afternoon!
