Kimmer, please help

Last week I was unable to stay on plan (see "What would you do" thread). I'm doing ok now but it's been a struggle to stay on plan and I know that it's a choice of whether to do it or not. I want it so I'm doing it.

Everyone seems to set mini goals and maybe that's what I need to do. I have set my end goal but now have sort of a mini goal.

I want to lose 10 lbs (15 if possible) by April 15th. I have a wedding to go to on April 29th and want to get a really cute outfit. I want to have a little time to go shopping so the 15th seems like a good "cut off."

My typical day consists of leaving the house at 6:45am, dropping of the kids at school & daycare, going to work, getting off at 5:30pm, picking up the boys, and not getting home until 6:30 - 6:45pm. From there, it's dinner, homework, baths, the mommy thing, etc.

I think the above little bit is important to know as I need some suggestions from you so I can get to my mini-goal. Be mean, ugly, nasty or adorably nice - I need some good advice as I'm starting to feel out of control and lost as far as my weight loss is concerned.

And, I prefer the KISS approach (if it means what I saw referred to as Keep It Simple Stupid/Silly)

Thanks Kimmer!!

I gotcha on the Mommy thing and having a hectic day.

OK, tell me this:

1) How much have you lost in the past 2 weeks?
2) What are you TOTAL calories and carbs in Fitday?

The past two weeks - 0 (last week was off plan and I am a right before tom).

I don't use Fitday that often because my internet access is at work, but my last couple of meals went like this:

Yesterday:

B - 2egg omlet w/bacon crumbles = 1 1/2 slices of bacon, onions = 2 tbsp, tomatoes = 1/4 c, w/one slice of provolone on top

L - 8oz sirloin, 1 c broccoli w/3tsp shredded cheese/2 tbs bacon crumbles/1 1/2 tbs sour cread, 3/4 cup sauteed mushrooms & onions

D - 1 c yocheese w/sf syrup (no time for a real dinner)

The day before - B - nothing, L - 2 oz of peanuts, 10oz Ribeye w/99% fat trimmed off, 1 c collard greens

I think I need to go back to strict induction levels for the next couple of weeks.

Do you have your weight loss journey available for public viewing? And what is the link for your Fitday entries?

I know I am not kimmer but if you want that 10lbs off I would go back to induction. Another thing I would do is try to cut back on the foods with sodium. Try turkey sausage instead of bacon, get rid of some cheese, no peanuts, and maybe a bit more food. Just my .02

Here's my Fitday link:

Kimmer's Fitday Journal

What are you using to weigh your meat? What are you using to measure your other food? Is that 1 cup of collard greens raw or cooked (BIG carb difference).

If you're using www.fitday.com to track your carbs/calories, be careful about which description you're using for beef. If you're eating a ribeye, don't pick sirloin (big calorie difference).

Going back to "old school" Induction is a good idea (not any 1996+ DANDRs) and focus more on low calorie leafy greens rather than tomatoes, onions, sauteed mushrooms (.75 cup is quite a bit).

You're over on carbs and calories.

Skip the peanuts and the yocheese. I understand having nothing in the house, but make it a point to keep "something" for emergencies, even a couple cans of tuna.

Don't use any extra fats for right now. No melted butter on a steak, watch the salad dressing, skip the bacon crumbles. Watch how much butter you use when cooking eggs or on top of veggies.

You can turn it around, but you're on a deadline so you better get going!

For the meat, pre-cooked weight on the package. For the collards, measured, cooked, based on the nutritional value on the back of the can.

I have tried to stay away from the scale as much as possible but I weighed earlier this week to see if I gained anything from last week. I will weigh again in two weeks and let you know the progress.

I am going to look through your fitday journals and go back to basics.

Kimmer, you rock and are such a GREAT help and inspiration on this board!!!

THANK YOU!!!
