Yesterday I had oatmeal for breakfast and a banana. Then I had El Pollo Loco for Lunch. For dinner it was spaghetti with whole grain pasta, and a small salad. I also had a hot chocolate with a little bit of whipped cream. Calories 1279. Lost 0.2 lbs.
Today will be a little harder. It's my Dad's birthday so we are going to have cake and potato salad (I don't know what else). So I might go over my calorie limit today. I purposefully ate little for breakfast and lunch to leave myself more calories for dinner. I've had oatmeal for breakfast with a banana and some strawberries. For snack I had a banana. For lunch I had a small piece of chicken (about 3 oz), asparagus, an orange, and a banana. So far I'm at 586 calories. We'll see where I end up tonight. __________________ Dum Spiro Spero IC XC NIKA |

Didn't lose any weight yesterday. Only ate 1287 calories. Was doing good losing weight. Now I seem to be in a bit of a stall.

I didn’t eat anything yesterday after 12PM. Then this morning I got a hotdog and a diet cherry Vanilla Coke from Sonic. I got a Mountain Dew while I was out running errands. For lunch I had a can of chicken noodle soup without the broth and some potato chips. Dinner will be a couple eggs. I have down 1,120 calories I have to figure out something else to add in. I seem to have lost my appetite the way I did right after Thanksgiving before I lost the 18 pounds. It’s just a specific type of feeling I get. Like no desire to eat but not feeling like there’s something very wrong with me. Maybe I feel like it’s safe to lose weight now that I’m not being treated like I have an ED. I told my new therapist about my weight loss and she was really happy for me.

I've been eating well. I cooked today, so I got a nice meal with vegetables. I'm hungry this evening though. I'm not sure what I will have. I'm out of my turkey, which has been my go-to food lately.

Today I’m doing good. I had a coffee Coke around 4 and then I had a lemonade and half a breakfast wrap from Starbucks. The wrap was kinda odd so I didn’t finish it. For lunch I had a lite Cesar salad kit, a piece of cheese, and 2 small cookies. Dinner will be a cucumber, another piece of cheese, and 6oz of pork tenderloin. I have down 1,240. I’m just maintaining right now at 169 but I hope to be 168 tomorrow.

I got a coffee and a medium potato wedge from Wendy’s this morning at 7:45. I didn’t know I’d be consuming 640 calories before 8AM. I didn’t know the potato’s had so many calories. But anyways I had a piece of cheese half an hour ago and I’m going to have a salad kit for lunch in half an hour or so. Dinner will be the leftover pork tenderloin from last night. Nothing too exciting today to eat. I have down 1,190

Yesterday I had whole grain toast for breakfast and canteloupe. I had a banana for snack. I had whole grain spaghetti and a slice of whole grain bread for lunch. I had a banana for snack. I had pork chop for dinner with boiled potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. I also had Diet Dr. Pepper, Iced Tea and Water to drink. Total calories 1073. Gained 0.2 lbs from yesterday. Sheesh. It seems like when I eat a little more calories I lose a little more. But I am able to buckle my belt on a tighter notch so I am getting more sculpted and less, well, round.

I’ve noticed the same thing. The other day I had 1,380 calories instead of 1230 and I lost like 2 pounds the next day.

I’m still at 169-170. I’m wondering if the large iced coffees I get every day and the zero sugar soda I drink a lot of is the issue. I just had tea and water today. My calories equal to 1,225. I got some stuff from the grocery store I was out of. Salads and cucumbers and I got a couple oranges and some bananas.

For dinner I had homemade chicken noodle soup. For dessert I had Rocky Road ice cream. Total calories 1319. Total weight loss from yesterday to today 1.6 lbs. Finally broke through my week of not losing weight. Can now buckle my belt 2 notches tighter. And my ring isn't as tight on my finger.

I put on my jeans yesterday, and tried to tighten the drawstring for the first time. Hey! I found out its not a real drawstring, its just decoration in the front! I havent put them on in a while, so i do think thats equivalent to a notch or so. I used to just pull them on and go!
Slumber, you are eating such a varied and healthy diet! Its so normal! I always thought the Noom looked good when Amberlynn Reid was doing it on youtube, with all the snacks and stuff. People say its a lot of reading, but i also do a lot of reading online about different starch solutions and intuitive eating plans and whole food based stuff. I do go off plan once in a while, but find i go right back to healthy eating, while i try to figure out what is causing my cravings. I just had the BEST breakfast - stale oatmeal with stale dried berries and stale sliced almonds. I guess i was missing the stale nutrient! i dont eat breakfast until i can "hear" what i am hungry for. |

Unaluna, I am really liking Noom. There's nothing that you can't eat. You just try to stay within the color guidelines. Green, yellow, red. I like that I don't feel deprived. I can have ice cream if I want it. Tonight I am going to have a hamburger. It's in my calorie allotment, I can have it. I don't have to say no to red meat. Or no to ice cream. Obviously I don't want to eat ice cream or Hamburgers every day, it wouldn't be healthy but it's okay as a treat. The reading really isn't too bad. It's less than 15 minutes a day. I do it in one sitting but it could be broken up. It is really about having a healthy lifestyle. Not dieting. Dieting doesn't work for me. Just exercising doesn't work for me. So far I have lost 11.6 lbs on Noom. In approx. 3 weeks. I say that's pretty good. 11.6 down, a zillion to go feels like. But I signed up for the year version so I am hopeful I will be able to keep losing for that whole year. I'm in a group with someone that is on year two. She loved it so much she is back for more. I like being able to eat anything I want. I like that nothing is off limits because that is life. It's not like I'm never going to eat cheesecake again. I mean, c'mon. So it's been a helpful tool for me to lose weight, so far. So far I'm pretty pleased.

I've gained a little bit of weight. It's because I've been eating out more. One meal wasn't so healthy.
