Here's my story. I'm 27, 5'2" and 172 lbs (!). I'm getting married in October. I need to not look like I do now - then. I don't eat meat- so I wind up eating lots of pasta. I do eat seafood. I called the gym yesterday, but it is WAY out of my pricerange. I just can't afford it. Yesterday I started taking the stairs at work (7 flights) and it's been torture. I've tried weight watchers, and lost about 8 pounds last year, but I put it bcak on and then some. I love to cook. Please help! I don't know where to begin & I only have 10 months until my wedding!! I'd like to lose at least 30 lbs - impossible? |
Welcome to the group! Glad will be responding to you, I'm sure. I'm sorry to hear that you don't like meat and are eating a lot of pasta!!!
I'll tell you my big change for the past 3 months... I stopped eating WHITE bread, WHITE potatoes, WHITE rice, PASTA and the sodas!! Yes and I've lost 16 lbs since October but I have been walking on the treadmill a mile 3 times a day. This morning we got back to Gold's Gym finally.
I'm not sure if you went back to the beginning of the thread. If not, it might be a good idea for anyone new to the group. That way, you'll be up to date with everything that's already been said.
I personally eat Atkins cereal (1/2 cup serving size) with extra vanilla soy milk and a protein drink made with the same milk. For lunch, I'm eating 2 scramblers (egg), a piece of Ezekiel w/raisin bread and another Protein drink. For supper I have a small piece of meat and 2-3 frozen (steamed vegetables. For snacks, I eat apples. Sometimes will eat a pretzel rod which are 40 calories. We don't eat out very often. We definitely haven't visited the fast food places in years!
Unfortunately I've had to watch the fat, sodium and cholesterol for years.
I'm just now learning how important the CALORIE count is!!! That'll get you every time.
And remember to watch the serving size - and no seconds!!
Anyone else want to tell us what they eat for different meals.
