Lunch:
Mixed seeds/almonds
salad w/ avocado

Yesterday (and usually) I have a meat and veggie - I had a bunless burger with lettuce and pickles

Dinner:
Today: protein shake
Usually something lighter like the salad
Sunflower seed butter as a snack

I can't have dairy on my plan, so I'm a bit limited.

How about you?

aim in Fla*working · 02-02-2012, 03:55 PM

I drink low carb shakes for lunch and have a 6 oz of fish or lean meat. snacks are laughing cow cheese and celery.
I have lost 23 pounds in 5 weeks.

aim in Fla*working · 02-03-2012, 06:31 AM

still 127.
I am hungrier now for some reason but I have PMS

Darn PMS!

MiniMomma · 02-03-2012, 11:40 AM

I try to rotate things a bit ...

breakfasts are either
the Medi Vanilla Shake with 8oz Almond milk (unsweet of course)
1egg/4oz plain yogurt (sub in turkey sausge or 2 eggs)

Lunch I like to do a cup of salad with sliced deli meats or tuna/chicken salad on some lettuce/salad mix with celery

Dinner I have been trying alot of the recipes on here actually. Last night I did the Mexican meatloaf.. Chilies Relanos tonight ...but typically some form of meat w/ veggie.

Snack - baby bell cheese light/celery/cucumber

I am still a bit scared of fruit, I dont want to lose ketosis and I dont want them to make me crave sweets. The other night is when I was going to finally try jello again and found out it was not sugar free

Love the weekends but they are the hardest with the hubs and son around

Congratulations!!! That's awesome! You must be so excited!

Do you use the appetite suppressants or the herbal? I have the AS and I try so hard to not take all 3 on the weekend, but I HAVE to take them during the week (always want to munch at work). I do eat more when I don't take all 3...so I will now take all 3 all the time.

yes, I take the AS tablets and they will be putting me on herbal in a week or two. I am nervous about the transition from AS to herbal

MiniMomma · 02-06-2012, 02:19 PM

4th week and down 2.8, so total of 11.6 now

I didn't know they switched you to herbal when your at goal. Its my understand that your body will eventually adjust to the AS with time so that must be why they do that. Have you made it to goal and started herbal yet?

aim in Fla*working · 02-06-2012, 02:29 PM

no not yet. I go tomorrow but I am right before TOM and I am always up a little so I will probebly hit goal next weigh in. I defintaely hgave become a little resistant to my AS

congratulations on your loss!~~~

First of all, good luck with your weigh in! I usually have a stall through TOM and then after it's gone, I lose...it's awesome!

Second of all ACK! AS resistance!!! I hadn't thought about that yet. Oh, that makes me sad!

Congratulations! That's an AWESOME loss!

I lost 2.6 this week and my coach prepared me for it to slow down soon. I'm hoping it doesn't, but am prepared if it happens (I hope).

aim in Fla*working · 02-14-2012, 07:47 AM

124.4!!!!! Goal however, I was NOT at goal at the clinic becuase I was 128 in the afternoon. They want me to go to 125 in the afternoon...so it is a goal for me and not by clinics standards

126 today. Retaining water for sure!

MiniMomma · 02-20-2012, 04:57 PM

It happens, some days you just retain.... Did you reach goal at the clinic now? Or have you started maintainence? I am almost to where you started, but it seems you got to 125 quick so I hope I can repeat your success!

aim in Fla*working · 02-20-2012, 05:09 PM

hey there jolene

You are doing very well. No i have not hit goal at the clinic. I wake up at 124 and by the time I get there I am 128

so I guess Ihave to be closer to 120. I am not on maintenance yet. how tall are you? I am very small boned. size 3 ring finger. but I am broad in my shoulders and 5'6 so I am built like an upside down triangle...LOL...

MiniMomma · 02-20-2012, 05:33 PM

I am 5'4, when I started I told the clinic a goal of 135 but I told her today that since it seems to be going so well I would really prefer my dream goal of 125. Its funny you say triangle, I never saw myself as the "apple" or "pear" shape i kinda gained it all over like a oval lol

aim in Fla*working · 02-21-2012, 05:34 AM

lol!!!

My home scale runs 2-4 pounds less than a "good" scale (Medi, Weight Watchers, doctor, etc.). My Medi appointment is always first thing in the morning so I know I didn't gain weight while I was driving 15 minutes.

I just consider the Medi weight my official number and use the home scale for seeing ups/downs during the week, knowing my "real" number will be slightly different.

MiniMomma · 02-28-2012, 05:16 PM

How goes the weigh in's for you guys? I am going to have to start my weigh in's on Tuesday mornings vs. Monday evenings since (after 16 years) I got a new job... hope the stress of all the change doesn't stop my progress...I am thinking since I will be weighing in early it will drop my number a tad, which is ok with me

aim in Fla*working · 02-28-2012, 06:04 PM

Hey Jolene

I was 125.5 at the clinic so 1/2 pound from goal in the afternoon. I am 124 at home in the morning. I have 2 free meals a week and then the rest of the time I am consuming about 700 cals of protein and I don't cound the celery and spinach I eat. I should hit goal by their standards next week. i am right before that timeof the month so I am sure i am retaining water. There is probably about 4 pounds difference USUALLY for me between morning and afternoon.

aim in Fla*working · 02-28-2012, 06:45 PM

pic of me and mom was 149.
pic of me at NYE was 139.
125.5 today

aim in Fla*working · 02-28-2012, 06:47 PM

need a pic of 125 now...

MiniMomma · 03-01-2012, 10:23 AM

Way to go!!! I cant wait to feel 125 again!
I just accepted a new job. I am hoping the stress wont mess me up to bad..

aim in Fla*working · 03-01-2012, 10:58 AM
