Back to meal planning today after falling off the wagon with that. Hubby learned he has high cholesterol. I do, too. I'll try to prepare foods low in saturated fat/cholesterol.

B: Two low fat Nutrigrain Egg waffles with lowered fat PB and little dots of raspberry preserves (I'd rather have less of the good preserves than more of lower sugar stuff); 1/2 cup Tropicana 50 OJ; coffee with skim milk; a couple berries (328 cals)

L: Baked stuffed tomatoes over greens (if I'm up to it) OR, ham sandwich with tomato and lettuce and a little light mayo with herbs on diet low carb bread. (276 cals - sandwich)

D: Spaghetti with chicken Italian sausage slices, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, scallions, basil leaves, and a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese; salad greens with sliced beets, orange slices, and balsamic drizzle. Maybe a small glass of wine. (353 cals without wine)

S: Espresso; small slice of a low fat low sugar apple cake; Yoplait Light Key Lime pie yogurt (230 cals)

Total for day: 1,187 cals (moderate carbs, low fat, low salt, perfect protein)

Breakfast: Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches, 200 calories, and a cinnamon Coke, 140 calories.

Lunch: a prime rib Cobb salad with Cesar dressing from Denny’s. I’ve eaten half of it and I am just not hungry for the rest of it. The whole thing has 810 calories. I’m not sure how many calories I’ve actually eaten.

Dinner: probably just a packet of Cup A Soup. 50 calories.

Total: less then 1200 but, whatever. If I’m not hungry I’m not hungry.

Exercise: a crap ton of walking back and forth at work.

Last night I ate an extremely large amount of Peter Pan whipped lowered fat peanut butter. Yes, it was lowered fat, but the fat and calories added up all the same. The whole "whipped" aspect just makes it easier to overindulge in since it doesn't stick to the roof of my mouth like regular peanut butter does. At least it's gone. I won't buy it again for a while. I used to not overindulge in this, but last night I was so hungry.

Today:

B: Slice of low fat low sugar apple cake with whipped topping; 1/2 cup Tropicana 50 OJ; coffee with low fat milk (463 calories)

L: Surf Taco Baja style plus small side of chips with salsa; small Diet Coke (466 calories)

D: Leftover chicken Italian sausage spaghetti with sundried tomatoes, etc.; two baby peppers stuffed with ricotta, peas, pancetta, onion (369 calories)

S: Espresso; TBD, but will try not to overdo extra snack(s)

1,299 calories plus the calories from the "TBD" snack

I had a Berry Pepsi, a couple diet teas, a cheese Handi snack, an Oreo Handi snack, ramen, Ritz peanut butter and crackers, and a Lean Cuisine today.

Everything equaled to 1,280 calories.

Hello everybody,

Okay, I'm 164cm (5'4 1/5) and weighed 62.2kgs (136.8 lbs) a week ago, Tuesday 2nd January.

This is the heaviest I've ever weighed, so am not feeling "good in my skin" right now.

Some of my clothes are starting to feel tight, I'm not happy at this weight.

I mostly hate the ways my thighs splay out when I sit down.

I hate my husband touching my upper arms cos I feel they've got "chunkier".

Although he says he hasn't noticed, bless him.

I'd like my butt to feel less "padded" too.

My aim is to get back to my usual weight of 55kgs (121 lbs).

Which means a weight loss of 7.2 kgs (15.8 lbs).

I am not looking for any criticism or negative judgement here.

I'm doing the best I can step by baby step.

Thank you for any support and encouragement


I won't be happy until I get back to the weight I was before all this started, my usual 55kgs.

So, what's the best diet for me?

I need to be able to eat whatever I want, no holds barred, no taboo foods, no weird diet with food groups missing or strange combinations, etc
I love baking and discovering new recipes, so need to be able to continue cooking whatever I like.

I am a bit OCD with numbers and calculating, so don't mind counting calories.

It'll be less time consuming than having to change my wardrobe, lol.

Sometimes people seem not to like the idea of counting calories.

But for me it's so much easier because otherwise you're always wondering "I should have seen a result by now".

But if it's just the maths then you know what's happening, you can't go wrong, and you don't have to wonder


If I create a deficit of 3500 calories each week (that's 500 cals a day) through both diet and exercise,

I will lose about one pound of body weight on average weekly.

So the whole 16lbs (7kgs) will be gone by springtime.

Limiting myself to 1,600 cals a day seems doable, difficult but doable.

I should probably normally consume around 1,850 cals for maintenance.

So that's a 250 daily calorie deficit through diet (=1,600 cals a day).

And at least 250 calories less through exercise (I'll do more if I can, I enjoy it).

Slow and steady wins the race, I don't like freaking myself out.



So starting Tuesday 2nd January.

If all goes well, I should reach my goal in 16 weeks, or 4 months time, by end April.

I'll also have a cheat meal from time to time where I go out for a nice meal somewhere.

My husband and I usually do that once a week.

I'll just increase the exercise around the cheat meal to compensate.

Day 1: Tuesday 2nd January

Starting weight: 62.2kgs (136.8 lbs)
Goal weight: 55kgs (121 lbs)

Total weight to lose: 7.2kgs (15.8 lbs)


Daily limit: 1,600 calories

Weight loss rate: 1 lb a week

Date Ideal weight: end April

* 8am coffee 87c

Cappuccino 87


* Indoor bike (49 mins) burned 250 cals


* 10am-ish Breakfast (muesli) 505c Crikey!

10g organic oatbran (359) 35 + 5g organic chia seeds (449) 22 + 100g fresh forest fruits (55) 55 + 175g organic soy milk (46) 80


Total cals so far today: 87+505=592c


*Another Indoor bike (44 mins) burned 250 cals


* 4pm Lunch (croque monsieur salad) 828c Bloody hell!

100g Iceberg lettuce (17) 17 + 156g tomato (18) 28 + 35g bell pepper (20) 7 + 20g onion (40) 8 + 30g avocado (165) 49 + 2g fried crispy onion (590) 10 + 10g mayo (441) 44 + 10g pesto (520) 52 + 124g rye bread (214) 265 + 32g cheese (352) 112 + 10g chorizo (498) 49 + 5g mustard (245) 12 + 320g organic orange juice (54) 175


Total cals so far today: 87+505+828=1,420c


180c left for rest of the day. Oh dear!

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, lol.


* 4.30pm Snack (latte and biscuits) 170c

Latte macchiato 80 + 3 small vanilla lemon protein biscuits (20g) 90


Yikes, guess I'll have to skip dinner, no more calories left.

Can't say I'm hungry though (mustn't grumble!)

Will just have to distract myself till bedtime now.


Total cals so far today: 87+505+828+170=1,590c 👍👍👍👍

Indoor bike (93 mins) burned 500 cals 👍👍👍👍

I was 174 on Thursday. I think today I am 169. A year ago I was 145.

Today I’ve had a lox bagel, 480 calories. A bag of Pirates Booty, 70 calories. A lean cuisine, 330 calories. A protein bar, 90 calories. Another lean cuisine, 290 calories, and a diet green tea, 10 calories. Total it was 1,270 calories.

Exercise was just some weird new age sweat it out stuff which I have no idea if it worked or not.

Breakfast: a maui burst Mountain Dew, 220 calories

Lunch: a chicken fettuccini Lean Cuisine, 280 calories

Snack: a Margarita pizza Lean Cuisine, 330 calories.

So far I’ve had 830 calories. Not sure on what else I’ll be eating. My hunger is really down today. I’ve had no desire for fast food and that is downright bizarre. I want something everyday.

I avoid fast food like the plague. Can't eat anything fried or processed anymore.

Breakfast: oatmeal with bananas

Lunch: tortilla sandwich with lettuce, humus, cheese and veggies

Dinner: tonight will be a veggie omelette. I eat eggs every day. Gotta get my vitamin B! I always eat the yolk. The whites only have the protein. Yum!

6 Reasons Why Eggs Are the Healthiest Food on the Planet

Quote:
Eggs are loaded with vitamins, minerals, high-quality protein, good fats and various other lesser-known nutrients.
One large egg contains:
  • Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): 9% of the RDA
  • Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 15% of the RDA
  • Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
  • Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 7% of the RDA
  • Selenium: 22% of the RDA
  • Eggs also contain small amounts of almost every vitamin and mineral required by the human body, including calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, vitamin E, folate and many more.
A large egg contains 77 calories, with 6 grams of quality protein, 5 grams of fat and trace amounts of carbohydrates.
It's very important to realize that almost all the nutrients are contained in the yolk, the white contains only protein.

My meals today included late breakfast of:
B= two poached eggs, 2 slices wheat toast with peanut butter, low-fat yogurt with unsweetened applesauce with dash cinnamon, instant coffee with few teaspoons cocoa, dairy free creamer, dash of cinnamon, water and later cocoa with whipped cream and dash cinnamon, one or two small pieces dark chocolate

Lunch/snack= ritz crackers, about 6-12, few slices cheese, a few handfuls baked chips, a few pieces toblerone chocolate, water

Dinner= Coffee yogurt, homemade chili with lean beef, black beans, potatoes and topped with grated cheese, 6-10 ritz crackers, and glass water, later ate 3 small pieces dark chocolate

Exercise= bringing in groceries, laundry, so not really much to speak of.

My goal is to eat healthy and balanced, and limit sugar intake, walk almost daily, and small hand weights twice per week at least. Today I did consume sugar mostly at breakfast since cocoa consumed with coffee and again with cocoa topped with whipped cream, and could have consumed more fruit servings today.

I just had a few sodas, a couple protein bars, an ice cream bar, and a Stouffers TV dinner. Not good I know but I’m kinda depressed and I don’t feel like eating a lot. Calorie wise it was 1,290 today.

I ate cereal with milk and drank coffee. Then, I ate rice and variety of fish, shrimp, tofu and vegetables. I also drank veggie juice and ate a coffee gelatin. I think tonight I will try to drink tea and coffee and drink some soup. I usually pig out at night but tonight will try to curb my appetite and just drink liquids.
