Well Im Back down to 123 lbs :D
I actually started the original Tao wellness eating plan that I originaly was on prior to finding this offical weight loss club, I recently stoped smoking and fell off the plan and started eating cookies and everything else that I shouldn't have! So I thought I would re-start the original program, drop the weight I have gained then maintain it with the losers club :D
you can loose 2 lbs to 5 lbs the first week! Honest!!

My menu for 7 days repeated or alternate so it wont get to boring!

breakfast 2 vitamin B6
one egg omelet w/1oz cheddar cheese or 2 eggs w/out cheese with
baby bok choy , broccoli or any green veggies you prefer. you can top it with salsa if you like.

Alternate 2 egg no cheese
1 egg w/veggies (green only) 1/2oz cheddar cheese on top of one 6" corn, tortilla, half bagel, or half english muffin topped w/salsa

Lunch (no alternate) 7 days
large salad avoid to much lettuce! use more spinach, cabbage, endive all leafy green w/3 cups green veggies, cucumbers, bok choy, zuccinni tomatoes, jicama etc.. use rice vinegar or any vinegar dressing, no creamy dressings! drink 8oz of water w/ or w/out apple cider vinergar 1 tablespoon

Dinner alternate any protein meat during the week! 4 oz for women 8 oz for men, lean red meat, fish, shrimp, lobster, chicken, and turkey. No lamb or pork!
1/2 cup of veggie (your choice) green only
and a large salad just like lunch w/glass water w/w/out cider

the key ingredient (Tao wellness eating)

not to eat when you are hungry! If you eat when you are hungry you will have the tendency to want a larger portion or second serving

so fix breakfast even if your not hungry! same time with lunch and dinner. eat before 6 pm! snack on broccoli or cucumber. water will help curb the munchie attack :eek:

Oh the 2 vitamin B6 just helps jump starts your metabolism for the day!
not necessary to use with this program. :thumbup:

I've only lost a pound I weigh 140

I started changing the way I am eating 2-3weeks now.
I stopped all the carbohydrates, use olive oil instead of butter/margarine and only use light products.
I drink a lot of fresh orange juice, 10glasses of water and eat a lot of veggies.
I eat small meals during the day and my last meal is 4hours before going to bed.
I lost a total of 4pounds. It seems like it all went at once. IN the beginning there was no sign of progress but 2days ago when I got on the scale in showed that I lost 4lbs.
I do not think my 4lbs are so obvious but I ll tell you...I feel GREAT. I feel healthy and more energetic. It is like I am a new person.
This is a great club! :)

20lbs.
 

I fell off and just got back on last week. So I lost 2 pounds 164.

Sounds like you are on the right track, friend!

Make sure you are eating the "low fat" or "fat free" cheese.

Good job! Keep up the good work!

Lost 2lbs
 

:D just wanted to chime in and say i lost 2lbs, and give myself a big pat, pat on the back :) water must be working.......

Pat Pat (on the back!) ;)

It sounds like you're on the right path. I'm proud of how your are making good changes. That's what is important.

Your weight drop is perfect. You don't want to lose too fast.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the Pat, Pat, getting harder to drink all that water, it's starting to get colder in Pa, yukky weather, that's ok been keeping myself busy at home, scrubbing down walls is great exercise..... :eek:

Just weighed myself on the scale I have here at home, which was the initial scale I used for my beginning stats, and it says I am now 157 which means I've lost 1 pound. Sounds great to me considering when I went to the Doc last Monday their scale put me at 160 lbs. I like to think mine is the right scale and theirs is wrong. So put me down for 157 :D

I've cheated many times this week...my daughters 15th birthday and we went to the Olive Garden so you can imagine :eek: but I have switched small things that I eat daily and I'm hoping to see and feel a change. :thumbup:

Congratulations! All that & you still lost a pound. Good for you. Way to go, girl!

The same thing always happens to me. My scale at home always says I weigh less than the one in the doctors office. The nurse said it's because I have all my clothes on plus my shoes in the doctors office! So true, I came into this world with no clothes on and that's how I weigh myself in the morning - and I try to do it BEFORE I eat!

I weigh myself right after i get a shower in the morning, with no clothes on :D i have a very old scale i also have to add 10 lbs to it YUK!!!!.... i'll get a new one -one day....

You are all doing so well!!

Why are you adding 10 lbs to it? Because it's old??

We just bought a nice new digital one (with BIG numbers) at Bed, Bath & Beyond for about $30-40. I was shocked it wasn't more expensive.
