Yep, I agree with bmfan77... keep eating healthy and you'll be back down to your previous weight by the weekend. I know the morning after is always a little scary, though! :-) |

Oh, and I call myself vegetarian because it's alot easier than trying to explain to everyone what I pescatarian is. :-) I always qualify my statement, though and say that I still eat fish. |

I decided to stop eating meat because of the way animals are treated on meat farms... does that phrase really work? :-) Anyway, I decided I needed to eat fish to stay healthy, but that I could work on cutting other meats out. It has been 6 years since I have eaten any meat other than fish... What about you? |

Hey guys- random question. I noticed that only a handful of people have posted their weights for this week on the "Week One" forum... is this because there is a "Week Two" forum I just haven't found? Or, do you suppose people are jsut running late in recording their weight this week? I just want to make sure I am posting in the right area... |

| Weight Loss | Hunger | Jul 22 2009 19:37 (UTC) |

I'll add my two cents! I can't snack on fruit - it always makes me hungrier! So, if I am going to have an apple or peach (or any other fruit) as a snack, I always pair it with a handful of almonds, a string cheese, or yoghurt. Eating something with a healthy amount of protein always keeps me feeling fuller for longer. Maybe this would help you with feeling hungry... oh, and make sure you are getting enought water! :-) |

I read the whole thing... sorry for all the troubles you seem to be having with your weight/health. I don't really have any solid advice, I would just keep in regular contact with yoru doctor and a nutritionist. Good luck! |

I agree with amethystgirl. You may just need a jumpstart to your eating/exercise plan, so switching it up could be just the thing. |

| Weight Loss | does water weight look different to fat?? | Jul 21 2009 14:50 (UTC) |

I don't know what the technical answer is.... but, when I eat really salty things (which is how I gain water weight), it all goes to my belly... it looks distended and I fear that someone will ask me if I am pregnant! But, usually drinking alot of water flushes out the sodium and I get back to normal within a day or two... not sure if that helped, but that's my take on water weight! :-) |

I had an incredibly bad weekend food-wise. We're talking nachos and queso, cookies, fried fish, wine, etc... but, I started over yesterday and ended up weighing myself this morning. Turns out, I was only .2 up from last week's weigh in... I usually don't weigh in till Thursday, but all of the self-loathing was too much and I just needed to see where I stood. Now, I am motivated to get back on track... that little blip in my weight actually is going to turn into a motivator! Good luck and remember everyone has weeks/days like that, it's what you do afterwards that matters! :-) |

Hey Lisa, I know what you mean... I had an awful weekend food-wise and I was starting to get really alarmed. So, I watched my food yesterday and weighed this morning and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (only .2 up from last Thursday, which is my official weigh day). So, my advice is just to weigh yourself, see where you stand, and go from there... we've all been there, you'll get back on track, just stay positive! |

Good for you! I have been doing really well all week, but I just had a handful of M&M's... I am going to have to work out extra long tonight, but they were SO worth it after saying no all week! :-) Congrats on your willpower this afternoon! :-) |

I only drank water on my training long runs because my mouth would get really spitty if I tried to drink Gatorade or something like that. :-( I was always careful to make sure that I got a good meal in before I ran, though (not too close together, obviously), so I had enough energy. The last long run I did before my race I practiced using GU packets, which you will need to stay energized on race day... I used 2 GU packets during my race and really just practiced how to eat them while running 2 weeks before my race. If you don't know what GU packets are, here's the link... http://www.guenergy.com/products/gu-energy-ge l Good luck training, and let me know if you have any questions! :-) |

I think a little variety would be better. Could you try packaging up your meals, but changing the vegetables/meat from day to day? That way you would have them all pre-packaged, but you would get some variety? Even if you just alternated between three different meals, at least it would be a change? I know myself and I get really bored without a little variety and I think our metabolism does too (not sure, I am not a dietician)... just a thought... |

| Foods | Any ice cream addicts in here? | Jul 17 2009 18:45 (UTC) |

I crave ice cream on a daily basis... even in the middle of the winter! I keep 100 calorie ice cream cups in my freezer to snack on (from Meijer)... if I didn't, I could easily keep eating and eating and eating... :-) |

I have been a vegetarian for 6 years and in that time have never dated a fellow vegetarian. If asked, I will explain why I don't eat meat, but I have never tried to force my beliefs on someone else (and hope they have the same respect for me). I think the big thing is finding someone who respects your beliefs. And, of course if it works out, setting up clear expectations for food preparation. :-) |

I used Hal Higdon's plan when I trained for my half marathon. http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/novice. htm It was really manageable and I loved my first half marathon! |

I agree... I eat 1500-1600 calories a day, run, and losing weight faster than when I averaged 1200... plus, all those muscles will look better in the long run! :-) |

I have a food drawer in my desk, here are some things I keep: Fiber One makes some pretty yummy bars Kellogs' brand Fiber Plus Antioxidants bars - there are some yummy Dark Chocolate Almond ones I eat when I get a chocolate craving (130 cals) Peanut Butter and Crackers (190-220 cals) - these are the pre-packaged ones 100 calorie snack packs (salty or sweet) fruit snacks (100 cals per pack) all natural apple sauce (50 cals) and it doesn't need to be kept in the fridge, so it'll be okay in your locker. Hope this helps... good luck! I seem to remember keeping joghurt covered raisins in my locker when I was in school and also a ziploc with pre-measured cereal (Cheerios). |

Hey Guys... I'm Elizabeth. I am new to the BLC, but I am excited to have a team to be accountable to! I love competing, so think this will really help get my weight loss back on track. I would like to get down around 150 by the end of the Summer and to get back into a regular exercise schedule. I have the eating thing pretty well under control, I just haven't been making the time to consistently exercise... anyway, I am SUPER PROUD of the team effort this week... way to go! :-) |

I eat alot of peanut butter and crackers. They come in packs of 6 and range from 200-220 calories. The protein gets me going and honestly, they keep me fuller for longer. I buy them at Meijer and there are 8 packs of 6 crackers for ~$2.50. |
