Welcome back that's awesome !!!

This was my day in a nutshell. I weighed 153 so I gained omly 3 lbs, was really happy about that. I went to a womans retreat with my best friend so here's what I ate today.

B coffee
L About 5 bites of everything, chicken, salad, potatos, dinner roll, you get the picture
S 1 hotdog on a bun

My eating is done for the day and I feel happy and content!

SaltyDog Sun Sep 11, 2011 7:32 pm

YAY!!!! Good for you. Again, just take it one meal at a time....one day at a time. Sometimes looking up at the mountain can make that hike up it seem impossible.....

spryng Sun Sep 11, 2011 11:09 pm

Oh I like that thought saltydog! "Sometimes looking up at the mountain can make that hike up it seem impossible....." I think I do that too much! Love that and so true!

ewhetstone, those 3 lbs will be off in no time and you'll be back to losing for good Smile

I ate whatever I wanted all weekend and restarted today! I'm not kidding this time around!

My stats
current 153
goal 120

Food today
B coffee
L 5 bites egg casserole
S 5 bites pizza and 1 bite brownie....,,oops

Now I'm heading off to my daughters volley ball game and need to do housework when I get back so that will help me bide the time until bedtime, which is 8:30 but y'all know I get up at 3:30 every morning!

spryng Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:02 pm

great job getting back on plan!!! Your day looked great! Smile

3:30 EVERY morning? Dear god.. Good day, don't fret that extra bite, just next time take one less bite of pizza!

I was down 3 lbs this morning. Today at work I felt so sluggish, my job is very active, I'm on my feet for 8 hours or more at a time and walking very fast and sometimes breaking into a run Smile

I had 9 bites of a ham sandwich and a handful of chips today. I did feel a surge of energy after I ate. I'm making cheesy ham potatoes for supper and I'm having 5 bites. I'm battling hunger right at the moment but I'm going to take a nap and then make supper. I think my job makes me more humgry what with all the exercise I get.
I haven't weighed 140 in about 3 years so really want to hit that number sooner than later. I'm at 150 now

I'm still working on the science-y post for this, but basically.. When you get really hungry at work (since you are on your feet so much), have you been getting light-headed or nauseous at all?

ewhetstone Tue Sep 13, 2011 7:46 pm

Josh, yes I do feel light headed a lot.

I will confess here since this is my journal and all Wink

I just ate 2 brownies with peanut butter and some baked chips ( my favorite). I'm not eating anymore today and I feel really content with no light headedness and fatigue.

spryng Tue Sep 13, 2011 8:25 pm

congrats on the 3 lbs down already! I knew they'd be gone in no time and I think if you stick with it you can see 140 very very soon! Smile

ewhetstone Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:22 pm

I am at 149 today! I'm so excited and dont want to mess it up! I'm eating 2 small meals a day but not counting my bites and it's still working!

Dmac Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:53 pm

Congratulations way to go

spryng Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:54 pm

that is awesome!!!! I can't wait to be 149, I'm just 7 lbs from there and I can taste it! LOL

shnookie Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:01 am

Congrats I tried the 2 small meals strategy nd I don't know why but I have been bingeing for the past 10 days, my tummy is always full and its HUGE now so today I am trying 8 bites per meal I hope I can do it again, I have regained 5.5lbs which is not bad considering how much I have been eating the past 10 days!

ewhetstone Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:18 pm

I'm really liking the 2 meals a day thing. I'm feeling slimmer but no weighing until oct 1. I dont feel deprived and I'm not that hungry.

spryng Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:29 pm

that sounds fantastic! how many bites do you think your meals are? I know you aren't counting but I'm just curious.

ewhetstone Wed Sep 21, 2011 6:30 pm

spryng, i would say about 10 or 15. i feel full after Very Happy

Lyra Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:59 pm

I recently read about Courtney Cox's diet and she only has 2 meals per day and only coffee for breakfast.
Apparently 2 meals is the key Very Happy

ewhetstone Wed Oct 05, 2011 9:14 pm

I'm still here! Life is so hectic right now and I'm not watching how I'm eating and still hovering around 150. I really like 2 meals a day but the past week I just snack so much. I really want to get my head in the game and focus. My birthday is Nov 3 and I REALLY want to be in the 130s by then.I still have 4 weeks.

Current weight 153
Goal by Nov 3 139

Food intake today..... too much Wink

I'm going to take time and post daily and I will weigh daily and just stay on plan!

starbucks addict Wed Oct 05, 2011 9:43 pm

welcome back! are you going to count your bites or continue doing 2 small meals a day? best of luck Smile

spryng Wed Oct 05, 2011 10:52 pm

welcome back ewhetstone!!! I think 20 lbs in 4 weeks is doable if you stick to 10 bites per day only...so come on back and post daily and we'll cheer you on! Smile

ewhetstone Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:41 pm

I'm doing 2 small meals a day, today I had 2 big meals but hey I'm making progress.

start 153
current 152
goal 139
