Good Morning Everyone,
I was so good yesterday! I avoided the sweets as much as I could and came home to a very yummy dinner. To bad, I fell asleep on the couch before I could go power walking... Today I am having: Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs 1 flour tortilla 1/2 teaspoon of medium salsa sprinkle of cheese 3 Coffee Mate Original creamer tubs-they have 10 calories per tub-which is better than the refrigerated version 12oz cup of coffee 8oz glass of soymilk Lunch: Leftovers Snacks: Kelloggs Granola Bar Kelloggs Snack Chips Chobani Black Cherry Greek Yogurt Dinner: Open I downloaded the LoseIt app yesterday for my iPhone, and noticed that you can now scan the barcode on the food..Which is neat...Everything comes up correct as to what is on the package... Have a great day, Zimmeh

Had a great workout this morning. There was only 3 women from the last small group. New faces... Yay! I may not be so excited later when I can't walk... It was a very intense leg workout and I am sure I will be feeling it later. Nothing like feeling alive and revived well before 6 a.m.
Have a fantastic day everyone! Remember today is a new day to be a better and healthier you...

I have been sooo good for sooo long that I don't get cravings much anymore. Unfortunately that damn ketchup thread has me wanting french fries. Ugh.
I hope it goes away. Soon.

just thinking out loud here...
lately several people, including a couple of clients have told me that they have gone on the God diet.. in other words, nothing processed. One woman shared her story with me. She made a conscious effort to go shopping and not pick out anything processed, (she lived on box dinners and such being a busy woman, it was convenient,) when she hit 330 pounds, was always aching and headachy, she knew she had to make a change. She left the grocery store with about 3 things and spent $20.00. She was sure she was going to starve to death. She said EVERYthing is processed in some way.... she was really worried about what she was going to do! Then she started researching how to make things from scratch, how to eat sensibly and enjoy it. After a year and a half she lost 60 pounds, without counting a calorie or anything, had no more arthritic pain, had more energy than ever and is still losing, she said the withdrawal period was tough but once she was off of processed foods she no longer craved them, in fact, they made her sick now. She said she is STILL detoxifying from years of eating out of boxes. i'm happy for her |

I started this "Journey" about 4 years ago when I left my last relationship. I was completely unhappy and stressed and, and over time, had gotten up to 310. I then quit looking at the scale. I was ashamed and even more stressed. I hated myself and hid from my friends and family.
A friend from work told me about South Beach and we started it...Hard as hell to stick to but I lost about 20 lbs and felt great! Of course this started a pattern of lose 20, quit. Gain 10, start again. For the last 3 years. It has been a long road. Eventually I stayed at around 267. In December, my friend lit a fire under me again and again I started, but something different happened. I had what I am sure was an allergic reaction to some wheat pastry my dad made for me. I started researching gluten and I was sold! I have cut out gluten (in addition to sugar) from my diet completely and it became EASY. I eat whatever I want, mostly. Good thing, I want good things. I drink lotsss of water, take vitamins everyday, fiber, and healthy herbs. I eat meat and dairy (lightly), lots o veggies, fruit, beans, nuts and have found that wild/brown rice products do not stall weight loss. With South Beach, as soon as I added in whole grains, the cravings would come back as would the weight. Occasionally I get cravings for the old crap, and if I do I try to find a healthy version. So far so good. I am at 245 and counting. I feel good and strong, and finally feel like this is a lifestyle, not a diet. I have never told anyone my weight before...I always kept it vague. Now I just told a bazillion people. Maybe I am not ashamed anymore. This body may look fat to some people, but I know from whence I came...

KUDOS to all of you for staying with your goals and working hard! I was doing GREAT during the fall, and lost over 30#, but have put some of it back on. Now, with summer right around the corner, and some trips coming up, it's time to get my ass in gear! I'm starting back on what was working so well, our Amazing Grass smoothies and a pescetarian diet, no more soft drinks, and LOTS of H2O! I got this

Looking forward to being on track again, day 2!
I turn 30 on Thursday and I am looking at this as starting the next decade of my life being heathy and thinner. I spent most of my 20s overweight, my highest being around 250. Now I am in the 190s, looking forward to the 180s. The lowest I had gotten down to was 182, last November. I felt great at that weight and know I can see the 170s eventually. This morning, I was planning on getting up early and making breakfast, but that didn't happen. I even got dressed for work, got in my car and while I was driving I realized I was wearing my slippers (it was that kind of morning). So, I went to subway and got a 4inch egg white sub with turkey and avocado (8pp). I will do better at lunch and dinner, for sure! Hugs to you all.. Happy Tuesday! Lisa

For Dinner I just had:
1 Hewbrew National 97% fat free hot dog and it was so damn good even though it may sound nasty...Nope, very, very good! And guess what?? ONLY 1 POINT!!! 1/2 cup of vegetarian Bush's Baked Beans = 3 points 1 slice of Italian (light bread) (which acted as the hot dog bun) = 2 points 1 can of Polar cranberry-lime seltzer = 0 points Totaling a 6 point dinner that was filling..

I had a very wobbly weekend. I was all over the map with stuff to do and not being very 'present'. So, i have no idea what I will weigh this week. I am not too worried, I know I have not gained. I am still working out almost daily. I love that.
In my tracker, I realize, I tend to 'lose it' over the weekends. But, if I did not use my tracker I would not have really paid attention to that. Another clue in the long list of "oh yeah that". The trigger that made me eat like crazy, was faced and is no longer an issue. What a freaking relief that was. I am very proud of what I have accomplished so far. I went from a size 22 to a size 12 now. My measurements are showing improvements. I wish I would have kept all of my measurements, but when I changed calendars out went the numbers. Wasn't thinking. But, lately the critical voice is slipping in. Like a part of me is not satisfied with all that I have accomplished. It frightens me, to be quite honest. I keep it at bay, but the fact remains, it can come out of nowhere. The Saboteur is rearing her head and making her voice heard. She is such a bitch. And can be so destructive. My left hip and knee are out, even though I went to the chiro last week. But a nerve is being pinched making the outside of my left foot numb. At least I figured out why yesterday... now to try to make time to see my chiro this week. But, today I feel good. Today is my long Wednesday. Weight lifting, but this time no gay yoga cause I am still in my swimming lessons. That breathing... good gracious... that is all I practice. I am swallowing less water, but I can still panic if I am not in the right rhythm and 'lose my breath'. So, back at it tonite. I tell ya, come Thursdays my thighs ask me if I really want to do Zumba... smiling... of course and then we can relax. Fridays are usually easy, cause its only 1.5 hr yoga. But this weekend is a yoga workshop.... 13 hours worth. But whateva.... its not like I can't do it.   Thanks for keeping me motivated everyone. Thanks for your inspiring stories.

I've been meaning to come in here and check in and I keep getting side-tracked. I'm STILL holding at 288 (this counts my 4 pound gain I had a couple of weeks ago) but I am seriously not devoting the kind of time to it that I was.
My plan for the next 10 days: Re-introduce water at a higher level to my diet - I still drink 4-5 glasses of water a day but I have been drinking a lot more unsweet tea. Need to get the caffeine back down. Start moving again - Its been WAY too long since I have had a sweaty workout that left my legs wobbly. Start tracking food again - I havent tracked in 3 weeks and the scales not moving definitely proves I need to. This thread is positive and amazing and I am thankful to all of you for sharing your stories and serving as an inspiration to people like me!!
