Woohoo!!! Another lb down - 1-1/2 more to the goal line!!!! Also lost another 1-3/4 inches = 121-1/2... :)))

This post is for those that are interested, but specifically Amy (see previous post). :)

She asked for recipes or tips of foods to add some variety to your menus. Remember, I am going to go by the diet that I have followed these past 2 years, and I can say that it does work! You can follow this or do what works for you. Whatever you are comfortable with.

For breakfast, I eat a protein and a starch. Lunch: a protein, fruit, and a vegetable. Dinner: a protein, vegetable, and a starch. At one time, I gave information to Sis. King, but if she doesn't have it any longer, I can look for it and re-send. I believe that the information I gave stated portion sizes, etc.

The proteins that I eat consist of: 2 medium sized eggs, 2 oz. hard cheese (not the pre-shredded kind), 4 oz. of cottage cheese, tuna, tilapia, chicken breast, turkey breast, cooked ground turkey breast (seasoned right tastes like sausage). Up to 2 times a week (4 oz. cooked): pork loin, lean ground round, rump roast, choice sirloin. The reasoning for eating the last three proteins only up to 2x a week: these proteins stay in your system for up to 3 days. Your body doesn't process them as quickly as the first group. :-/ I stay away from these most of the time. I do allow myself them from time to time. It just depends on how quickly you want to lose!

P.S. This is to follow if you want to lose. If you're wanting to maintain your current weight, obviously, you'll add extra foods into your diet.

More to follow...

For Carla!!!

Would you be willing to share some recipes, food choices, etc with us? I am always looking for variety, right now it seems hard to find!

Excited!

I am so excited about losing this time. I remember how great I felt when I got down to my goal weight last time. It felt so good to look good in my straight skirts without a long top over my hips!! Keeping that image in my mind...like a carrot in front of my mind's eye!!


I know it can be done because I did it before!!  


They measured my body fat and it is 34%...that is the top of the range for a woman of my age and height.  The range is 23-34.  I am shooting for 27%.


A tip I gave Amy was to find a skirt or dress that she wants to see a big difference in.  Try it on every week and start noticing the changes!  Even photograph it!!  I think I will take that advice myself!!  


Thanks for all the support!  We can make this a less agonizing experience if we help one another.  It helps me knowing you are watching and commenting!!


Here's to weight loss and better health!!!
