I had a lot of ear infections when I was a child and several surgeries...the ringing is caused from the scar tissue. I had a bunch of tests done to confirm that and there is nothing they can do about it. I don't feel bad about having to take the anxiety medicine...anyone would feel anxious having to listen to that all day.

weight down: 197.1

I'm not taking that number seriously because I had some terrible diarrhea yesterday. I want to start counting bites today, but I'm not really sure how to do it or how I want to do it. I know that I love the vegan lifestyle, but since I'm a food addict I still have a tendency to overeat. I only had one drink last night, I think talking about it helped me reduce that a little.

b-herbal tea w/almond milk
l- 5 bites broccoli & 5 bites vegan cabbage roll
d- salad w/ romaine greens, mushrooms, a few almonds & fat free vegan dressing, vegan spaghetti & vegan french bread (I sprayed a mix of water/balsamic vinegar on the bread, then sprinkled it with garlic salt...a great fat free way to enjoy some garlic bread).

Obviously, dinner was not a 10 biter! I was so starving by the time dinner came around...ugg! Mad

10 bites isn't enough on the vegan diet for sure...especially low fat vegan! I'm going to figure this out!

ElleBella Sat Jul 13, 2013 8:36 pm

I am glad you are ok with the medsl love.. yay.. I sure could not handle that.. uugh

I am all over the place with what plan to be on.. they all help you lose weight just at different pace.. I am just trying to not go over 1500 calories so at least 1-2lbs will be lost. So what ever you do love you are going to doooooooooooooooooooooo amazing!!!

Love you..xoxo

I ended up doing a 10 bite lunch yesterday and was ok, but by the time dinner rolled around I was absolutely famished. So 10 bites won't work with the vegan lifestyle. I'm still not sure what to do, but I'm determined to figure it out. I'm sticking with the vegan lifestyle and I'm committed to it for sure! I just want to figure out how to maximize my weight loss.

weight: 197.1

When I first got up I weight 198.2 and then I went to the bathroom a couple of times with no intake and ended up at 197.1. I'll take that any way I can get it!!!!

Hey Beautiful girl.. how are you doing today? Rock it!!! Twisted Evil

Snow White Thu Jul 18, 2013 9:44 pm

weight: 196.4

Ok, slowly but surely! I have quit my evening cocktail and am having chamomile tea instead. I'm hoping this will help speed up my progress a bit with the vegan diet. The thing that I feel about the vegan diet is that it is something I can really stick with! This is the 7th week and I haven't cheated once. There are still things that I want to limit in my diet, but if I eat, it's vegan and for once in my life I really, really feel like I can do it! The weight loss is slow, but maybe that means it won't come back this time.

Debbie, I could NOT do this without your support!

b-nothing

ElleBella Sat Jul 20, 2013 6:16 am

weight: 197.3 ugg!

Probably retaining water from the tortilla chips! I did not drink my water yesterday either.
Still no alcohol though, so this is frustrating.
My husband and I walked 3 miles today and I got on the elliptical for 20 minutes.
I tried to drink a lot of water today.

Thinking seriously about trying Dasher's card idea for the exercise!

b-nothing
l-subway veggie sandwich, baked chips (ALL vegan)
d- veggie burger no bun, small salad, plain baked potato w/nutritional yeast
water, water, water
planning herbal cocktail: chamomile/lavender tea w/passionflower extract

ElleBella Sun Jul 21, 2013 9:31 pm

Wow Great work out girl.. Your meal sounds soooooooo delish. bounce

Snow White Mon Jul 22, 2013 5:31 pm

weight: 198.9 up ugg! However, I checked my blood pressure yesterday and it is completely back to normal! I know I have the vegan diet to thank for that!

Well, if it's possible to have a vegan binge...I did it yesterday!

Today, I am measuring my starches...1/2 cup servings...I'm going to see how this goes. I guess a 1/2 cup at lunch and a 1/2 cup at dinner and then as much veggies as I want. I'm not eating a lot of fruit right now...need to get to the store. Also, wondering if having a piece of fruit in the morning like when I first started this helped with the weight loss. May try that again and see how it goes. I've got to get this figured out.

b-nothing
l- salad: spinach & carrots w/2T. sunflower seeds and oil free dressing, 1/2 cup brown rice cooked in veggie broth & green beans w/garlic
d-planning 1/4 of a vegan wrap (I figure that's about a 1/2 cup of starch), and veggies, maybe a fruit
s- vegan popcorn

I will have to get to the store today...out of raw veggies & fruit.

I need to have some kind of cut off time for eating...I could eat all night!

Not having my cocktail at night is rough. I don't get tired and I can get to sleep. Also, I've gained 2 pounds in 7 days of no alcohol.

ElleBella Mon Jul 22, 2013 6:55 pm

I think you are right to cut the carbs.. starches turn to sugar and sugar turns to you know what. I know you love your plan so you will find your way. Your exercise is great!!!! Lets see if this works love.. Yay:bounce: bounce

I could eat all night too.. love Im with you on that..lol

Have a super day You:twisted: Twisted Evil

Get it done!

ElleBella Tue Jul 23, 2013 6:30 pm

Hey Beautiful Girl how are you doing? Rocking it for sure I know!!! Have the best day ever!!! bounce

Snow White Wed Jul 24, 2013 2:48 pm

Ok, well measuring the starches is going to be key for me!

Weight: 195.5 (also I started up my real cocktail 2 nights ago...I just couldn't sleep!)

I am measuring the starches the best I can at 1/2 cup for lunch and dinner.

b-nothing
l- planning 1/4 of a vegan wrap, salad w/spinach, bok choy, cilantro, parsley, tomatoes, broccoli, avocado, & sunflower seeds w/ my oil free 4-3-2-1 dressing & 1/2 an apple or banana if needed
d- planning taco bowl w/1 corn tortilla a spoon of vegan refried beans and then loaded down w/greens & tomatoes and red and green salsa, nutritional yeast & fruit if need for dessert (If I'm still hungry, I may just make up another salad, too.)

ElleBella Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:47 pm
