Starting K/E Today

Mfit4Me · 06-19-2007, 07:42 AM

Anyone else starting K/E today?

janamonkey · 06-19-2007, 08:13 AM

I restarted K/E, does that count?

I need a jump start this week- I'm at a weight I was at for four years so I have just been hovering here for 5 days. Hopefully this will work!

Hi

Mfit4Me,

I actually started Kimkins last Tuesday and had pretty good results. However, I picked up some bug and was sick all weekend and ended up eating ramen and crackers for 3 days, so I gained all but .8lbs back. I'm up to 249.2

. Anywho, I'm restarting today, as long as my stomach accepts it (its mulling over the tuna I just ate). So I guess that kinda counts as starting today.

Anyway

and good luck!

Michelle

Hi Div,
Thanks for the welcome. I read you mentioned you had some tuna. Can I have some with sugar free/fat free mayo?

I had mine with regular mayo, so I'm thinking yes. I had this before when I started and still lost the 6.8 lbs in 3 days.

I use it too, just a tbs. I can't do tuna without it and I like tuna!

Ahhh to be in a size six again (dreamy eyed). Good Luck! I think this is the ticket!

janamonkey · 06-19-2007, 11:25 AM

Good luck to you too! I"m sorry you were sick

Mfit4Me · 06-19-2007, 11:41 AM

Well, I had tuna without mayo and it was ok. Am I supposed to stay away from chicken thighs? I know they are not the leanest but I do eat them and make sure I pick out all the fat. I baked a whole bunch of them during the weekend and DH can't eat them all by himself. Actually he's getting sick of them and is not much of a meat eater like me I don't want to waste them and was thinking of having some tonight or as a snack. Will it affect me that much?
Div, hoping you are feeling much better!

I've been stuck at my current weight for a while now as well. I'm a first time mommy. My son is going on 7 months. I gained 35 lbs while I was pregnant with him and lost 25 pretty quickly then got stalled. Now I need a jump start to get me out of the stall and am hoping that this will work.

Well, about the chicken:

3 oz of boneless thigh is 121.83 calories 6.12g fat
3 oz of boneless breast is 85.35 calories 1.71g fat

I personally would eat it. Maybe not for three meals a day but it isn't that big of a difference in my opinion.

I get chicken thighs because you can get a huge amount of them for super cheap. Now that I have started Kimkins I just peel the skin and any fat I can off before I cook them. I plan on getting another family pack come grocery day.

While the thigh might not be the leanest part, any part of a chicken is still better than red meat, or bacon! I recall reading that any bird but duck is ok. No specifics as to parts.

Hey thanks Jana & MFit for the well wishes. Thankfully I'm feeling better. At least well enough to continue on with this WOE.

As far as the rules are concerned MFit, I think you're only supposed to have lean meats. For two days last week I had thighs w/no skin and it didn't stall me. To me, 6g is lean. Just my opinion.
