Anyway...my point is remember you have to drink water...take vitamins to make up the difference for what your body needs and get exercise if possible... I will have to look for the site I used to measure Physical activity calories...
Tomorrow is Jan 2 and I am going to go back on the plan with one ammendment...I will have like a healthy choice or weight watcher meal for dinner....otherwise it will be shakes and bars the rest of the day with my water...I am going to lose the 5 I put on plus another 15 hopefully before we go to Florida on Feb 9....
Good luck to us all...it is about taking it off then changing your lifestyle to stay there..... |
Oh my goodness! 500 calories a day? What were you allowed to eat? I've had my BMI measured & I also take off about 300-400 calories a day from working out (mostly treadmill) till we get back to Gold's Gym tomorrow.
I gained back only 2 lbs over Thanksgiving. For Christmas day, I eliminated my twice a day protein drinks for two days. That way, I was able to eat dessert Christmas night & the next night.
Good luck to everyone in 2006!
