Weight Loss	Wow, eating more DOES work!	Mar 14 2008 12:10 (UTC)	7
I was just about to post a question about this. I've been going for about a week of steadily dropping but I'm just recently putting back on a couple--one at a time. I've noticed that my calories haven't been adding up (usually close, but not all the way). CC recommended around 1800 with its projected goal date, my acupuncturist said 1800-2000 was good, but I decided to go for 1650 because that's why CC gave me when I entered my own goal date. I'm 5'8" 273 right now and I wonder if I need to increase my caloric intake. I have been working out (tennis or racquetball) 5 days a week for an hour or so.
Weight Loss	Boy Oh Boy, did I fall off the calorie counting wagon!	Mar 12 2008 20:45 (UTC)
Original Post by mamauv2: I'm having a really bad day! I ate WAY too much. I think I'm just getting worn out by calorie counting. I've been so hard on myself since I haven't dropped much weight and today I just took it way too far. I'm trying to stay on track and not give up since I feel my lack of progress on the scale is depressing. I know, I know, keep going, don't give up. I'm trying. :0( Definitely don't get distracted by one bad day. I've been there before and giving up when I felt like I has "messed up" is what kept me down. If you have a bad day, take note but don't stress over it. Progress is gradual and all your work won't go to waste after one day.

Original Post by aledmar: Quaker 100% granola is like 210 calories per half a cup! It's delicious, but I do not eat it more than twice a week! Yeah, most cereals aren't that high, only the ones with a lot of nuts in them Yep, but that 210 calories is much better than 210 calories of cocoa puffs or something. At least you get some nutritional value!

Cereal servings are definitely small. I had cereal for the first time in a while this morning and I decided to go with 2 cups of organic raisin bran, which was the perfect amount for the 1 cup serving size of rice milk.

FYI- I just bought Quorn Turkey and although I don't care for meat substitutes, my husband liked it. I didn't cook it in a roasting bag, I sliced it in half, seasoned it with Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute and put it in the toaster oven for about 35 minutes...did the trick!

YES to the Chinese 5 spice! I discovered it last week and have it on my list for this week. I made stir fry as well. It was also good for dipping egg rolls.
