~*~Kimmer & Heidi's Excellent Adventures in Dieting~*~

heidi21062 · 06-19-2008, 07:17 AM

[COLOR=Purple]Hi Folks!

[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]I’m Heidi and my partner in crime is Kimmer

…..we met here on LCF and have been ‘on-line’ friends for a little over 2 years….we have been there through each other’s weight-loss struggles and occasional temporary successes…..we’ve encouraged and supported each other.....and yes, occasionally wallowed in self-pity together.

[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]Between the two of us, we’ve tried every diet known to man……Atkins, WW’s, Slim-Fast, Kimkins, Nutrisystem, calorie counting, BFL…..you name it, we’ve tried it….And we’ve finally come to the conclusion that they all work…..you just have to pick one and stick with it! Hmmmm……..what a novel idea…..

[/COLOR] [COLOR=Purple]All of the challenges that we have joined eventually end up fizzling out, so Kimmer suggested that we start a journal together…….so here we are…….still struggling but determined to succeed!

[/COLOR]

KimmerJ · 06-19-2008, 07:27 AM

[color=blue] Good Morning!

Does the phrase "Just Do It!" Come to mind? We are struggling but we are VERY determined to succeed! Please~come say Hello and we welcome all encouragement~~~

Okay I have picked Weight Watchers and my Menu is as follows:

Egg McMuffin I treated myself to McDonalds today = 6 points
hash browns= 4 Points

Lunch= 6 points (WW Dinner)

Fruit= 2 points

Dinner= Huge Salad=8 points

_______________________
Total= 26 Points

I am not changing my Stats because I weighed in this morning and I'm at 220

My goal is to look like the gal in the picture!!

We are near Ft. Worth...not to far from the Texas Motor Speedway

KimmerJ · 06-19-2008, 08:01 AM

I have a weiner "Oscar Meyer Weiner" and a 14 year old lab that we call the "old man".

[color=blue] Good Morning!

Just checking in! Read my Dotties WW's newsletter and it had this:

Here are the stats for the average number of heart attacks among women every year:
Age 65 and older [352,000]
Ages 45 to 64 [74,000] <<<<~~~I'm 46
Under age 45 [9,000]
Total heart attacks among women for year [435,000]

So my goal is to get healthy!!!!!!

So my Menu for today is:

Total Cereal with strawberries and 1/2 Cup of skim Milk

12 Almonds

Chicken sandwich on 2 slices of skinny bread with a HUGE slice of tomato

15 pretzel sticks

grapes

raisins

Dinner~~~~something light It's going to be HOT today........

KimmerJ · 06-23-2008, 08:45 AM

**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap**tap **

mmmmmm wonder where Heidi is???????

heidi21062 · 06-23-2008, 09:52 AM

I'm here!

I've decided to give WW's a chance.....I feel so guilty not going back to my beloved Atkins.....

This week-end was a total bust....food-wise.....

But I am going to give this WW's thing a try....I hate all of the 'counting', but everybody says that once you get the hang of it, you get to know the points in what you are eating and you don't have to look up everything.....I'm a creature of habit, so I'll probably end up eating the same things all the time anyway.....

heidi21062 · 06-23-2008, 09:53 AM

Oh, I forgot....today I have had a McD's yogurt parfait - 3 pts. and a hazelnut iced coffe - 3 pts.

KimmerJ · 06-23-2008, 11:31 AM

I guess I was kinda hungry......

I had my sandwich, tomatoes, pretzels and my string cheese all for lunch. UGGGG I'm fine....

Just full

And I counted all the points.

heidi21062 · 06-23-2008, 12:01 PM

I just had lunch....a ground chicken patty and 1/2 cup of Mexican macaroni & cheese.....I have to go figure my points....

I take it you didn't beat the kid???

sounds good!

heidi21062 · 06-23-2008, 12:10 PM

No, I beat him! It was the Rachael Ray Taco Chicken patty!

KimmerJ · 06-23-2008, 12:13 PM

AH HA!!!!!

So how many points have you had????

I've had:

13 so far.......we shall see what the night brings

KimmerJ · 06-23-2008, 12:23 PM

I'm thinking I'm going home in about 30 minutes: Going home to lay on the bed and read my book:

heidi21062 · 06-23-2008, 01:00 PM

The chicken & the mac n' cheese each had 4 pts., so I've had 14 for the day. That only leaves me 8 for the rest of the day.....
