This week I start focusing on calcium intake. I have sodium down to great levels unless we go out to eat dinner - and my other vitamins are pretty fantastic due to fresh fruits and veggies - so now I tackle the calcium hurdle. I've even bought milk. I don't like milk, but man is it a good source of calcium and vitamin D so yeah - I will deal with 4 - 8 ounces a day as needed.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Silk Almond Milk has twice as much calcium....

Next time I go to the grocery store I'll check it out... how're the calories?

I can't remember right off the top of my head,
but I think a tad less.....

I know the Soymilk one has 140 calories for an 8oz glass.

I've noticed since I moved out of the negative apartment and got a long haired Chihuahua, who loves going for walks; I am starting to loose weight again and my ex sister-in-law noticed it on Sunday. I came home feeling like I was on cloud nine

I really hate that point in losing weight when your friends and coworkers are starting to notice (I'm pretty sure it's just because I got new smaller clothes), but the scale doesn't seem to agree with them.

I've been at a standstill for 3 weeks now, but suddenly people are saying, "You look like you're losing weight!"

Hey, Grumpy Diva!

RE: your friends' and coworkers' annoying compliments on your weight loss—

You might be "tightening up," or redistributing weight. Or trading muscle for fat, which takes up less volume but weighs more.

Or...your scale might be playing mind games with you.

Or...you're really dressing smart (I consistently wear clothes that are too big for me, but when I wear my true size, I look smaller).

Whatever it is, enjoy, if you can!

I just looked it up -
there are 60 calories in a cup (8 0z).
I like it with my protein shakes.....

I love their soymilk

Since I am having issues eating since I got my braces, I've been drinking a lot of milk, yogurt, rice, beans and thin bread until I go back on June 29th.

girl_dee · 06-20-2012, 08:08 PM

2 pounds up from 8 days in Atlanta/New Orleans... considering what i had that's not too bad, but i can say my skinny jeans were screaming at me when i put them on at the end of the trip!

Tawse · 06-21-2012, 06:48 AM

This week has been a gift from the gods... previous 5 weeks it's been about a pound a week... this week so far it's 3 pounds O.o.

YAY!

45 min on the elliptical, and another 30 swimming laps in the pool this morning. I feel great!

I found the thin wheat bread from Pepperidge Farms. It has 110 calories for three slices..which is around 73.3 calories for two pieces and I have a teaspoon of nutella on it. I found the nutella to be easier to digest than peanut butter. I also have a 3oz cup -demitasse cup- that I use to drink coffee out of. I drink two of these through out the day instead of at once.
