Finally losing again !!

At this rate, those bike shorts will look great this year! Are you drinking
tons of water? Are you hungry on this plan?

"Beverly"

Breakfast and snack: 1 protein, 1 carb, 1 fruit, 1 low-cal dairy
Lunch and snack: 1 protein, 2 vegetables, 1 fruit, 1 low-cal dairy
Dinner: 1 protein, 2 vegetables, 1 fat
This comes out to 1100-1300 calories daily depending on the foods
chosen.

Now this isn't too far from my normal woe. I would have had a couple more
carbs and another fat with the occasional dessert on the weekends . With
these minor changes I've lost 2 pounds in the last week! I plan on
sticking with this for another week and see what happens. Hopefully I can
continue with 1-2 pounds a week until I reach my mini-goal. At that time
I
may go back to my original woe and maintain for awhile.

177 / 147.5 / 140??

I've been hanging around the 149.5 mark for quite awhile. I certainly have
a handle on what I'll need to do when I reach my final goal. At the moment
I'm not sure what the final goal will be but I'm shooting for 140 at the
present. We'll see what the BF% is when I get there. I'm sure I'll have
to go a little lower but at least age is an advantage when it comes to
BF....they allow us older women a little moreg

Last week I decided it was time to shake things up a little and get back in
weight loss mode. Summer is coming and I want those bike pants to look as
good as possibleG My eating habits haven't been terrible but I was
letting additional calories sneak in on a daily basis and this stopped the
loss. I dug out the many weight loss books I have and devised the
following plan - it's based on the Dr. Phil 14 day start program.

Breakfast and snack: 1 protein, 1 carb, 1 fruit, 1 low-cal dairy
Lunch and snack: 1 protein, 2 vegetables, 1 fruit, 1 low-cal dairy
Dinner: 1 protein, 2 vegetables, 1 fat

I have to remind myself to drink more water.

I really haven't been hungry. The first couple of days I did add a small
evening snack but I think that was more a habit then actual hunger. One
evening I had some celery with cream cheese and the other was one Wasa
cracker with cream cheese. Both of these seemed to satisfy the muchines.

Beverly - going to fill her water bottle now!

Congratulations Beverly. Your grandkids will be greatly impressed.

Thanks I. My grandkids think they have a pretty cool grandmag

I told them they need to get their bikes out and ready for the biking
season. I don't know whether we'll do our usual bike trip to the amusement
park this year as I'm taking them to Dollywood near the Smokies this
summer. I doubt there will be any bike riding there but we plan on hitting
the water park a couple of days. I'm sure we'll get in some other local
rides.

The youngest one (18 mo) keeps checking on her bike trailer in the garage
each time she visits....think I have another biker in her.

Thanks. Those bike pants show every little bit of fat. I always wear a
longer top with mine since my weight is all around the middle. I've
certainly seen some people on the trails who should have been wearing a
little longer top, toog

WTG Bev! You'll be looking good in those shorts in no time - though I
suspect you probably look pretty good in them now

Good for you Beverly!

I think it's cool that when we want to shake up the status quo we have so
many resources at our disposal. Making little changes can work wonders.

I'm 5 weeks from my own vacation and intent on doing the best I possibly
can in that time. Deadlines work well for me and today it looks very
Spring-like outside. Out to walk!! s

You are very young at heart, its hard to remember that you are a
grandma... :-)

I'm a great-grandma A step-granddaughter (from son's first marriage)
has two little girls who call me grandma. The step-granddaughter came into
the family when she was 4 and even after my son and her mother divorced
I've always thought of her as a granddaughter. We're still very close and
she often calls me when she can't deal with her motherg
