Weight Loss and Exercise #3

Mountaindewed · Feb 17, 2021 at 12:14 PM

So far today I’ve had a couple little cheeses and a package of Lean Cuisine egg bites. I also had a Mountain Dew. I’m going to have a chicken Cesar salad in a bit and a cucumber and another piece of cheese for a snack. Then a pasta lean cuisine for dinner. I have down 1,224 calories.

I did not weigh myself for the first day in awhile.

I am managing to not eat over 2000 calories a day and even eating 2000 cals I am losing weight.I didn't realise I could eat that much and still lose weight.That's good isn't it?
I would want to go down to 1500 calories a day if possible.

I am maintaining my weight. I'm just focusing on healthy foods.

Are those the new Cokes with coffee you are talking about? I really like the dark blend one.

Today I had a caramel something or other Pepsi. It was a Japanese flavor. Then I had a spinach feta wrap from Starbucks and a coffee Coke. Lunch was half of a plain bagel with half a container of avocado spread. My snack was a cucumber and I’m going to have a can of Hormel ham in a bit. Dinner will be a Stouffer’s stuffed pepper. I also had a couple 32oz zero sugar Gatorade’s

I have down 1,250 calories.

Yesterday i had white potatoes for meal1 and oatmeal with dried berries for meal2, also oranges and coffees, and a can of mushrooms.

Hi guys, first time posting in this section.

I signed up for Noom on Sunday and so far I'm doing great.

Possible trigger:

lost 5.2 pounds

so far. Today I have eaten oatmeal and a banana for breakfast with two tablespoons of milk. For snack I had another banana and 1/2 of a glazed donut. For lunch I had an orange and a tuna sandwich. I've drank water, Iced tea, and a diet Dr Pepper. So far I'm at 917 calories for the day. My goal is to stay within 1500 to 1600 calories. Probably will have salad for dinner with a little grilled chicken.

Sweet potatoes today for meal1, no veg with meal1. Meal2 was millet cooked with riced cauliflower, topped with a bag of tuna. Oranges and coffees.

The millet mixture was very interesting. It was oniony, but i could see making a similar dish with say oatmeal and canned pumpkin, which would still be half starch half veg, but you could flavor it more like carrot cake / pumpkin spice.

Maybe im just getting old and gumming my tiny grainy food! Seriously, the millet had a satisfying mouth feel and filled my stomach. I mean, what is cake but grainy mushy stuff and cocoa? I could get used to this.

My weight was the same, but i needed to poop and take my pee medicine, so that means it is probably down a bit. I am really trying to concentrate on eating these two simple meals, on time, not ordering out, and hopefully pushing that scale down to the next decade. Which i havent seen in a decade!

Today my weight was 5 pounds less than it was yesterday. Probably all the bathroom trips. So far today I’ve had a coffee, an individual sweet potato pie, and an Atkins shake. I’m going to have a prepackaged chicken Cesar salad, 2 zero sugar Gatorade’s, and for dinner 2 pieces of baked chicken with dill pickle seasoning. I have down 1,205 calories.

unaluna · Feb 20, 2021 at 03:03 PM

One lb down. Not being too hungry. Wanting to avoid heartburn is a very effective motivator. I need to start exercising, i really have not been doing anything. Altho thats okay, i cant juggle too many changes at once. I do feel like i am making eating this way a habit. Next week i will be out of oranges but i have small cans of pineapple, diced peach cups, and applesauce. Only next wednesday is officially spring break here. Im gonna try to get some chores done today and tomorrow, i am feeling pretty good.

Deilla · Feb 20, 2021 at 03:05 PM

I lost a little weight. I've been having to eat soft foods because of a problem with a tooth. That is helping me to lose weight.

Mountaindewed · 03:33 PM

This morning I had a donut from Krispie Kreme that I got a few days ago. Then I got an iced latte and a dragonfruit refresher from Dunkin’ Donuts. I had a little bag of skinny pop popcorn around 10. I just now had an Atkins shake. Probably around 1-2 I’m going to have a Cesar salad kit and a cucumber. Dinner is going to be some pork tenderloin. I have down 1,262 calories.

I ended up having a cup of Kraft spaghetti instead of the salad. So I’m at 1,250 instead. Although the quality of what I ate today was pretty bad.

Deilla · Feb 21, 2021 at 12:42 PM

I don't understand it. I've put on a couple of pounds. Oh, NVM. I just realized I forgot my water pill and I've been having a lot of canned soup. I guess I'm just maintaining. I better take my water pill before I swell up like a balloon.

SlumberKitty · Feb 22, 2021 at 11:12 AM

Yesterday I had oatmeal for breakfast and a banana. For a snack I had a tablespoon of smooth peanut butter and a glass of milk. For Lunch I had Panda Express Super Greens, Panda Express Green Bean Chicken, and a fortune cookie. I had a banana for an afternoon snack. For dinner I had homemade chicken noodle soup and a slice of toast with a thin spread of peanut butter. 1329 calories for the day and I lost 1.2 pounds from yesterday to today.

Mountaindewed · Feb 22, 2021 at 01:39 PM

169.4 today. 2 pounds since yesterday. I have not been drinking much diet soda. I’ve heard diet soda can stall your weight loss. I did buy a couple cases today though. I’ve been drinking a lot of Gatorade. I also have an iced coffee every day. I’ve been working on eating more vegetables and protein. Today I had a coffee Coke and a piece of cheese around 2AM. Then I had the new chocolate cold brew cold foam coffee from Dunkin Donuts. For lunch I had 2 cups of leftover Kraft spaghetti. Dinner will be 2 pieces of baked chicken with dill pickle seasoning. I’ll also have a cucumber today too. 1,234 calories.

Deilla · Feb 22, 2021 at 01:48 PM

I don't seem to be losing any more weight. I'm not sure what the problem is. I give up. I'm going to quit worrying about it.

unaluna · Feb 22, 2021 at 03:43 PM

The scale looked like it was down a pound. I need to pee and poop (sorry, tmi!). I should probably Windex the scale, it might help!

I ate weird yesterday! I tried that mixing a can of pumpkin into oatmeal. Next time im gonna cook the oatmeal before i add the pumpkin, even tho i SPECIFICALLY followed a nytimes recipe - worthless! The oatmeal it was like it stayed crunchy ALL DAY!!! I had it for breakfast and lunch. I cooked about half a cup dry. For dinner i had grits, 3 instant bags, i was starving. Fruit was pineapple and peach dice and will be that for the next ten days, so i wont mention it again until it changes. Also coffee. I did amazon order some canned turkey and roast beef, and some york sugarfree peppermint patties, and some stella doro cookies, margerites.

SlumberKitty · Feb 23, 2021 at 10:51 AM

Yesterday I had oatmeal, a banana, and milk for breakfast, a banana for snack, a shredded beef and cheese burrito for lunch and an orange, one bite sized milky way, diet dr pepper which I am trying to not have today and for dinner I had spaghetti. Total calories 1350 Weight loss from yesterday to today 0.8 lb.

unaluna · Feb 23, 2021 at 05:20 PM

Looked like a solid 255!

so maybe down another lb, without p&p yet! I had a weird dream last night, i was half awake and my stomach was just feeling nice and light and empty (i carry my weight in my belly, big time).

So far today i made a soup of half a cup dry of whole wheat penne, some cauliflower rice, sodium free onion buillion, and a canned chicken packet. And nooch. Not super flavorful, but 255!!!

I dont mind eating crappy as long as i can see some results. Usually i eat blah and nothing happens, so i probably give up too soon. I was thinking of jimmy johns today, but i made this soup instead. I thought, in weight watchers terms, 0 points instead of ALL my points! Plus probably getting an upset stomach. And feeling like i gave up.

Somebody on the WW site yesterday wrote, you dont need willpower if you have habit and order, something like that. Something to fall back on? A soft place to land, as dr phil says. I feel like i am finally taking care of myself and it is not an overwhelming task. And no one will interrupt me at it. THATS a biggie.
