I'm getting out of it exactly what I'm putting into it I guess....sigh! |

Date: 5/30/08
Weight: 175.0
Loss this week: 1.9
Total weight loss: 3.6
Beginning weight: 178.6 May 2, 2008
I guess I'd better take a new self-portrait soon. This old chick is down 32.8 lbs. since mid-January. As of last night I have a new hair-do and it's got some new shades of color in it too. I told my husband that he's got a new woman to hassle him. He came home and walked around me about three times and then stared at the TV set for about 5 hours. I guess even with those changes it just isn't that exciting.
BTW, I got a much better reaction to the new style at work.

Oops, hehe. I guess that's a statement as to how 'slow' I am.

Sorry I haven't been too involved in this thread, but I thought I'd toss in my latest result. Initial weigh-in, before my lifestyle change, 249 lbs.
Weigh-in today, 199 lbs. I'm officially down 50 pounds, and have shed 20% of my body mass. Woot!!

Hi all
If you don't mind advice from someone not on this thread...to control munchies, cheap generic puffed-rice or puffed- wheat cereal (where the ingredient list says 'puffed wheat/rice' and nothing else - no sugary crap or artificial glop) is terrific as a snack say when watching TV.. OK maybe a little bland, but don't go nuts on the seasonings.
Also easily available these days are bulk salads labelled spring mix, which usually also comes pre-washed. Nice dark green leaves, not that godawful tasteless 'iceberg' lettuce...add stuff like cherry tomatoes, sliced cukes, some of your favorite nuts if not allergic (walnuts) maybe a FEW croutons (a handful), olives with the brine rinsed off (salt will make you retain water), an avocado chopped up, some strips of your favourite cooked protein source (grilled chicken breast,salmon, grilled strips of beef/pork), and top with a nice homemade red wine viniagrette (recipe: red wine, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mint sauce, maybe some soya sauce or bbq sauce. Combine and sprinkle on). Avoid dressings made with cream/mayonnaise/eggyolks etc. They'll clog your arteries in no time!
Dead easy and best of all, inexpensive and healthy! |

| I'm far too late to get in on this challenge, but since January 1 I have dropped 17.2 pounds, have more than doubled the amount of weight I can lift, and am wearing jeans I couldn't fit into for two years. I still have 15 pounds to go, and I'll be at exactly the right weight for my height. One thing that has really helped me is eating small meals throughout the day instead of three 'squares'. I am also very careful about avoiding foods with processed sugar and usually have a snack of a homemade smoothie with mixed berries, half a banana and half a scoop of protein powder around 11:30, which is delicious and cuts down the craving for a big lunch. |

| Right on! The 'grazing' thing works really well as opposed to the three big meals, and the protein powder will not only give you energy but help build muscle too! Way to go! |

The only danger with grazing is that you might be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking you're eating little enough... sometimes the grazing gets out of control.
Here's my own recipe for a great tuna salad. Tuna is not only low in fat, but has Omega 3 fatty acids that promote heart health, human brain function, and all that good stuff. It also acts as an appetite suppressant, which, if you try eating this salad as listed, you will soon discover!
Use half the ingredients listed here if you like. If you use all the ingredients, this will be enough for a large evening meal. Omit or reduce oil if you are on a fat-free diet.
1 can low-sodium solid white tuna packed in water, or fresh tuna if you have the time
2 cups of spring mix lettuce
1/2 sweet red pepper, chopped into large chunks
1 stalk chopped celery
1 tablespoon pitted black olives
1 tablespoon reduced fat feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes (preferrably the kind jarred in olive oil)
2 tablespoons croutons
2 teaspoons good quality red wine vinegar (or to taste)
1. Arrange the lettuce on the bottom of a shallow bowl.
2. Flake the tuna on top of the lettuce.
3. Sprinkle red pepper, celery, and black olives over tuna.
4. Drizzle olive oil, then red wine vinegar over the salad.
5. Add feta cheese, then sundried tomatoes.
6. Finish with croutons.
Serve with half a slice of fresh pumpernickel bread, unbuttered.
The higher you pile the ingredients, the more impressive the salad will look. You will have difficulty finishing the salad as listed, as it's very filling, and will keep you full for hours. It is quite delicious.
Edit: I made up the amounts, since I've never actually measured anything... these are just my guesses. Alter the amounts to taste, or to accomodate whatever restrictions you may have, or to add more or less of something you prefer.

A terrific recipe, although in my case, I would substitute chicken for the tuna as I cannot stand tuna.
