Weight Loss drunken munchies... May 06 2007

Oh man, I get drunken munchies like it's my job!  I do have somewhat of a solution that can work part of the time.  Buy a large bottle of water and down it before you touch any food.  This is a normal portion control trick, but it works especially well when you are drunk because you are very dehydrated, (also a good trick when you are blazed).

Hey amy_rocks!
I added you as my friend so maybe we can go through the special k diet together, give tips and such.  What do you think?

Thea8 -  I do maintain 1300 calories per day on the special k.  I would have been at my goal weight already except that I go out with my friends on the weekends a lot to dinner and drinks and then midnight snacks, which totally sabotages my diet. :-(  
What do you find makes it hard for you to lose?

Pinthin - Do you really want to lose 10 pounds? I feel like that would be too thin.  The thinnest I ever was at that height was 116 lbs, not even on purpose I was just really active with intense soccer for several hours a day.   A lot of people would comment and be like OMG you're arms are so thin and your collar bone sticks out! Lol, not very flattering comments.  I think you would probably look and feel much better around 116-120, instead of 110-114.  (but that's just my opinion) Anyway, good luck!

Yea I can understand that, but since I don't live at home it's not that big of a problem for me.  You could try talking to them about it and saying it's only two weeks and it's not that drastic of a diet.  You eat a completely normal dinner, for lunch you can have a bowl of cereal or a meal bar, then you can eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want for snacks, and for breakfast it's a bowl of cereal again.  

I'm also wondering if the weight is going to stay off, I've only been doing it for a week, more or less, but not even perfect everyday.   I really hope the weight will stay off too but I will probably have to watch what I eat for a while until I am really stable at my goal weight.  I really think the only thing that has helped me lose already has been that I don't eat a massive lunch and instead eat a small lunch and then a snack before dinner.  You could always try that instead of the special k diet.  Maybe it will work?

Fat free hot chocolate is also really good.  I always get chocolate cravings and this helps a lot.  and it's only 50 calories!

Hey!
Well I just started a couple days ago on the Special K diet and I've already lost 4 pounds! It's great because it's so much easier when you have specific things you have to eat all day instead of always counting calories. 
I also do yoga twice a week, soccer once a week, and try to get to the gym when I have free time.  I've actually been trying to diet since september, but I also end up ruining it.  This is the first time I'm actually being serious about it since it's almost summer!  Maybe you can try the Special K diet too?  I'm eating about 1,300 calories per day, more if I work out.

Just a quick suggestion,

Try eating a small lollipop everytime you have a craving or are doing something that you associate with smoking (for me it was walking to the subway).  A blowpop is around 60 calories, and the smaller ones must be less!  I feel that the similar shape and act of bringing something to your mouth repeatedly helps to replace cigarettes.  Good luck!

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
