Great news ladies! !! Keep it up!!
Same here, just look at what a bother it is trying to figure out how much one is going to eat, it is almost impossible to know! :lol3:Sorry everyone. I didn't clarify that I'm going out to eat the hamburger. That's why I have no idea how to judge calories. I'll ask them how much the pattie weighs and then add it all up I guess. I rarely go out to eat and rarely eat take out.
Winchester Thanks, Pam. Yes. I am enjoying the Fitbit. Hubby has a pedometer on his phone and he has started tracking his calories and steps. Yesterday he put on a size smaller pants than he had been able to wear. So I laid the rest of those sizes out for him to try today. I am so proud of him.Congrats on your Fitbit, Barbara! You're going to enjoy it! Congrats to you and to your husband.
Tammat, you did good, woman. Truly you did.
And so did you Louann Jude! Congratulations! Those plateaus can be killers sometimes.
OK, well, I mentioned last week that I was starting the Flat Belly Breakthrough last Monday. They say about 14 pounds in two weeks.....I forget how many inches. I gave it a good shot for the week and did what I was supposed to. Didn't really feel hungry, unless I purposely didn't eat (like on Saturday when I didn't eat at the luncheon after the funeral service), stayed right around 1,000 calories per day (and I know I mentioned that I could have a sandwich for lunch! :lol3: I love bread, I dearly love bread, so that worked out well.)
I lost 7.2 pounds this past week. And 2 inches around my waist, 2 inches off my hips, 1 inch off each of my thighs (sorry if that's TMI).
I'll take it.
And we're going to continue for another week.
I am sorry about the burger. I know you wanted so bad. Those mirrors. I HATE those things. I can have a good day and be thinking I like the way I feel in my clothes and walk by a full length mirror in a store and I will be in a bad mood the rest of the day.I drove to Warrnambool today. Home of the famous Kermonds burger. I phoned them yesterday and got the weight of the raw hamburger pattie and then I added up the calories of the other ingredients. It just wasn't worth it. I packed my own lunch and Ate that instead. I bought a coffee that tasted dreadful so I didn't drink it because I wasn't wasting calories on something so awful. To be honest I was a bit of a grump all day because i wanted that burger. In the afternoon I ate an Atkins low carb treat bar thingo and that put me in a better frame of mind. Today was one of those days. It was hard. It sucked. I could have binged easily. I didn't though and my calorie count was on target. I did it and that means I can do it again.
Oh and I tried on clothes in shops. Those change room mirrors and the lighting. Seriously!!!! They are no better in this part of the world. I'm surprised anyone buys anything. That didn't help the mood either
