I'm pretty happy with my food intake yesterday:
Breakfast: piece of bread with a smear of peanut butter Lunch/snacks: Lara bar, peanut butter sandwich, non-fat fruit yogurt, banana Dinner: piece of toast with cheddar cheese and sweet relish, some wheat thins My partner and her kid are going to Trader Joe's today and I'm joining them so I can pick out some lunch choices for me. I don't think they have roast chicken there but that would be a good protein-high alternative for lunches instead of peanut butter which I'm sure you've noticed, I have quite a Jones for. I suppose I could bake a bunch of chicken breasts for the week, but it's never as tasty as the kind you buy already roasted. I'm feeling all hopeful because I lost 4 pounds in like just over a week or whenever I first posted in this thread, and I only have 9 to 15 pounds to go (I want to end up at 135-140). Every time I check this thread, someone has lost a couple pounds. It's very inspiring. Also it's great to have somewhere to report on my progress, which let's face it, is TMI in real life. So thanks for listening/reading. |
where are your veggies?? I don't see any veggies!! You need veggies!!

You are so totally right about the appalling lack of veggies in my diet. I love baby carrots, and will start packing a bag of them in the morning for lunch at work. Also if I get canned pumpkin, I can stir it into yogurt. I guess I could take a baggie of snap peas, too. And I love canned peas. Why not pack one of those little cans, the kind with the pop-up lid, into my lunch? Like I said earlier, the GF is going to Trader Joe's today and I'm tagging along (she invited me, which was a sweet gesture; she really doesn't like to share food shopping), to make sure my new food quirks are honored: canned peas baby carrots canned pumpkin snap peas roast chicken Thank you everyone!!! |
Hey Scout,
If you're going to Trader Joe's here is some good packaged deli meat: Get the "Columbus" brand roast beef, maple smoked turkey and pastrami. They also have roasted chicken breast. Those are very low in points and VERY tasty. I was shocked at how low the points are for something so delicious for 2 oz. of each. You won't be disappointed ;) For the Maple Turkey Breast it's only 1 point for 2 oz! I also get their Pita Bread which is very good and also low in carbs. Half of the pita bread is 2 points. At local grocery stores, I like to get the Special K bars. Only 2 points each. Try the chocolate pretzel and the strawberry bars. Great snack and satisfying when you're craving something sweet. Good luck! Quote:

Stepping in and joining the thread :)
I have never been a "healthy" eater, which I always blamed on the lack of having Fresh fruit and veggies available in my price range (when I lived in Indiana).. But that can no longer be the excuse now that I am in Florida! Since I moved here in December, I have lost 43 pounds, but would like to lose another 43 before I hit where I want to be :) So, today I am taking a step in the right direction by adding some "peer pressure" on me, so that I stay on track! It helps that I have a supportive partner, who is also working on losing some weight too, but it is always great to have a group of friends cheering you on! |

I'm getting lots of good tips for eating better, on this thread. I had a 15- to 20-pound loss goal, and I'm four pounds down now. |

Hey Joe Schmooze, you are reminding me of something I love that I had forgotten about—veggie dipping! I will check out Waldenfarms. I don't think they have them around here. Sounds like they have yummy dips and syrups. I would like the syrups on oatmeal. Hey Scorp too, we just got back from Trader Joe's, and I got the Columbus smoked turkey cold cuts that I can make for lunch and also some cooked lemon chicken strips I can eat for dinner with brussel sprouts! We're going out for dinner tonight and I'm bracing myself because I usually overeat in restaurants. But my partner is online right now and the kid wants pizza so I'm pushing for an Italian place that has a grilled chicken salad, which is often the case. Everyone have a good dinner!! :) |

On another note, I am going to start making smoothies for breakfast. Any good recipes? I also want to find a sugar free/gluten free protein to add to it. |

Good morning healthies :)
I'm starting the day off with black coffee and fresh pineapple...one of the joys of living in south Florida where fresh delicious pineapple is at the farmers market almost all the time and not at all expensive. Rooster and I both love it, especially for breakfast. The scale is holding steady but I know I am building muscle and shrinking in inches, so I'm not worried about it. These things take time, and positive changes are happening even in a stressful time that would normally have me running for the Coke and Snickers. I'm so glad to see so many people in here....and hello and welcome to anyone I may have missed. It helps so much to hear about people successes (and challenges) and to share tips and ideas. Just love it. Hugs to you all! |
The scale is messing with me.
Day one: 169 and change Day two: 170 and change Day three: 169 and change Day four: 170 and change Day five: 169 and change I'm about to hop on it again. If it says 170 and change, I'm going to give it Juney's evil eye. |
