What's up my friends????????
Great new my friends,,,,,I have lost 12 pounds. I started my diet before we started the Phats fit club, but that is 12 pounds down. I'm starting to see a difference in my bella-bella
How is everyone doing? Phats Lori, Thanks! I have been more strict with my vegetarian diet. I have cut out all the junk food that I **love** so much. I am eating really healthy and moving around more. Not enough, but I will get there! I feel a lot better. Michele...Way to go. i'm so impressed by your commitment. you keep me going girlfriend! Phats Michele, do you wear water shoes while doing your water aerobics? If not try them they make a huge difference on the amount of pain your feet feel. Also your weight loss may be slow because you are not eating enough calories 1000-1200 is low. I'm losing weight at 1800 calories and I'm shorter than you are. They right type of calories are important. You need protein at every meal. You also should be eating plenty of vegetables..lots of leafy greens are especially good because they are full of vitamins and you can eat a huge volume and not expend a lot of calories. They have the added benefit of providing fiber. Lean cuisines are great in a pinch but they are not really nutritionally balanced and are filled with sodium. I'll second the recomendation for Sparkpeople. You need to lose weight smartly not quickly depriving yourself of important nutrients by not eating enough is not the way to go. Do you take a daily multi vitamin? I know you stopped most of your meds but this is one I would add back in right now. Your body needs the extra boost Hello Its great to see everyone sticking to there diets I am doing quite well on weight watchers I lost 5.2 my first week. This diet has taught me that I did not eat enough before when I tried to lose weight. Now I know I must eat to lose go figure. There is a great web site called the daily plate you can look up most major restaurants and get the nutrition facts for their food its a good way to keep on track and avoid eating hidden calories. After I looked up some of my favorites I soon realized I would never eat them again what I thought was a healthy alternative was hardly that don't be fooled by wraps they only look healthy. Well good luck heres to a thinner healthier tomorrow. http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition/search.php?q=&b=W endy%27s&page=23 Linda from NJ Oatmeal has protein in it. To add some calories to it you can add some nuts which have protein and healthy fats in them, also add some fruit like strawberries or blue berries. Nuts are great for a snack as well I hide vegetables in foods. You can chop up carrots, celery and onion and add them to just about anything. But try and experiment..there are lots of different types out there. If you have a pair of crocs try wearing them in the water next time. Shoes during water aerobics helps to prevent slipping and more importantly add cushioning between your feet and the hard bottom even without your orthotics they will help. I know that I was hugely suprised at the difference on my feet when I started to wear them. As mentioned before SparkPeople is a good site to visit. The cook thing about that site is you put in your current weight (and height) and your goal weight and tell it how many calories you expect to burn due to exercise- an hour water aerobics will probably burn about 300-and they will tell you how many calories you need to eat daily. Their sysem is set up not to go below 1200. They will also provide you with daily menus which you can follow or not but its nice to get some ideas
