The Lounge Cheatinggirl - where is she? Aug 08 2006

Hey guys,  Thank you for the nice thoughts!  Life has been so hectic, that I was logging food once a day and then not doing anything else.  I'll try to start blogging again, but between vacation, work, home issues, being sick (so bad I was in the ER for a while), and my oldest starting school - I just have neglected the computer for anything other than work.

I'll do my best to catch up - hopefully there hasn't been too much drama!

Thank you again, this meant a lot to me!

P.S.  Ruby just told me about this thread, otherwise I probably wouldn't have known!  Thanks, RT!

Hey guys, thanks for the cheerleading! 

I haven't done such a great job at maintenance in the two days since I hit my goal weight.  I lost another half a pound.  I know that the weekend, the days off, and the vacation will more than make up for it - so I haven't upped my calories just yet...  I'm thinking I'm gonna gain a couple of pounds on vay-k anyway...

Timbergrove - I added you as a friend - however, I'm not sure how inspirational my stories are going to be - my family is not the most stable!  :)

Just remember - the more you drink - the lower your resistance is to happy hour munchies, too!

However, be strong - have a great time - focus on the company and the friends - drink water - you'll be fine!

I haven't seen those - but I like the Atkins Caramel Bars.  They've got 9 g. of fiber and 10+ of protein.  Tastes like a candy bar to me - and keeps me full!  (150 - 180 cals)

Hi guys - I know it's CoachDee's post - but according to the book I read - you should stick to your diet of choice for 5 days, and then for 36 hours you should up your calories 10 calories per pound you weigh.  I had a hard time getting to an extra 1300 a day on top of the 1200 I was already eating.  One of the author's of the book left me a message on my Blog telling me it's ok to up ot 5 - 10 cals per day.

Weight Loss JUST found out I am pregnant and 100 pounds overweight WHAT TO DO Jun 16 2006

What to do?  Celebrate - this is wonderful news.  It sounds like this wasn't quite what you had in mind right now, but it's still fantastic.

As far as your health goes, yes, you need a doctor - and the state (whichever one you're in) will help you pay for it.  As far as weight goes - your baby is going to take nutrients from you.  Eat a lot of protein, calcium, and high-nutrient food.  Stay away from alcohol and caffeine. 

Now is not the time to worry about losing weight, HOWEVER, you can establish some great habits now, which will help you to lose weight after the baby is born. 

It's funny -but I never felt like I looked better than when I was pregnant.  I would have done it 10 more times if I could!

That's the way I lost my weight - over 30 pounds of it!  I'm now wearing a size 4 (and they're loose!) and a small top (and it's big too!).  This totally works!

There's a book called "The Cheater's Diet" that I used as a guide and I detailed it in a previous post (and in my Blog, too).

Happy Cheating!

Actually, HK, one of my favorite jokes is anti-women - but it still cracks me up.  It just depends on where it comes from and if there is any intention by the joke teller to hurt.

I apologize if you were offended by this, but it was just meant to be funny - I don't believe that men are smarter than women or that women are smarter than men.  For that matter, I also don't believe that women like to shop and men like to watch football, that women like to cuddle, and men just want sex, either.

Hi - here's my favorite and my family loves it!

Nonstick Spray

1/4 C. Chopped Bell Pepper (Red or Yellow)

1/4 C. Grated Carrots

1 ½ lb. Ground Turkey

16 Saltines, finely crumbed

2 Large Egg Whites

½ C. Bottled Chili Sauce (Divided)

1-2 T Brown Sugar

  2. Combine cracker crumbs, milk, chili sauce, and egg whites ? mix well.  Add ground turkey and veggies, seasoning, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Shape into one loaf or mini-loaves (I use either a bread loaf or muffin tins) ? turn out into a baking dish ? do not bake in the loaf pan or muffin tin).  Bake in a 350 oven for about 25 ? 30 minutes.

Here is a list of staples I use at least three times a week:

Non-Stick Spray

Garlic (I like the minced in the jar, but powders are good too)

Cinnamon

Mrs. Dash (Great for flavor and salt-free)

Kosher Salt (lower sodium than table salt)

Frozen Veggies (love the new Bird's Eye Steam in a Bag)

As far as supplies go - get at least one good non-stick fry pan, a strainer, and some plastic storage containers for leftovers.  (And whatever else you can mooch off your parents!)

Congratulations on your first apartment - what an amazing feeling!

Yikes!  You've got to tell the truth.  If you don't, and if you're in an accident with a patient, not only will you lose your job, but you could be sued against any future earnings for the rest of your life.  It's not worth the risk!
Foods What does fiber do for your diet? Jun 06 2006
17:09 (UTC)

Hey BMA - Fiber is a very important component.  Like Hk, said, it does help you feel fuller, and helps move the food through the body.  It also helps prevent cancer, and reduces excess "storage" of unneccessary waste. (which can lead to unneccessary waist!  ha ha!)

The recommended amount of fiber is 25g. a day.

However, something to keep in mind - eating fiber is like running the kitchen sink disposal - if you run it without water - you're going to cause a major clog!  So eat fiber-rich foods and drink water with it - every time!

For me, right after work was high-school athletics time!  Luckily, now school is out and since it's the YMCA - we get a whole lot of variety.

Now for the bad part - they totally changed their class schedule and now there is only one class I like that fits in with my schedule!  C'mon - I was under the impression that the world revolves around me, and I'm now sorely disillusioned.
