Anyone on a Diet???

[rebornfree]

I really think my problem is that I am not active enough. I spend a lot of time reading for my university course. Before we moved to our present house I was able to walk into town and to the shops and be quite independent, now I have to take the bus or go by car. I really need to work hard on the exercise to rediscover my waistline LOL

For me the best way I've found to exercise during a time of intense study, has been my exercise bike, which is in the spare bedroom alongside a small TV. So I peddle away whilst watching a favourite programme, and have incorporated the activity into my daily routine (weekdays anyway!). I think it has helped towards my recent weight loss, and I find it so convenient not having to go out, or be at a particular place at a set time.

Im on the NO FUDGE DIET

(and Im still pouting about it till Christmas is over)

I find that having something extra special of the things I can have helps me feel that it is not all about can't have! (Even if it is only special blend tea or coffee!)

You are right about that ... today we had some fresh ground espresso beans in place of our usual Folgers. This together with a spoon of Torani or Davince Syrup that now comes in sugarfree, an Irish Cream flavor to be precise, was, just as you say; tasted like a delicasey at mid day.

This week I stocked in some shrimp, scallops and smoked salmon to make some holiday treats, served with cocktail sauce, cheeses and vege assortments and small crostinis.

I clearly remember dreaming about meatloaf tho, just before I woke this morning.

I went back on Atkin's the Monday before Thanksgiving.. My knees had been hurting very badly.. and God told me to go back on that food plan..

After weeks of having aching knees, my pain was gone in 2 days after I surrendered my eating to God - I've lost 13 pounds.

I said God, why now right before the holidays.. He said because I said so.. the next day, Michele (a lady in my office) says she read that the average person puts on 7 pounds between Thanksgiving & Christmas.. Guess God thought I could do without those added pounds.. *smile*

AND focusing on what you can eat is the way to go..

Good for you Glenda, Im happy for you to hear of 13lbs off.

That is a significant loss considering what it would feel like if you had to pick up a 13 lb sack and carry it all day tomorrow. I am quiet amazed when I think of weight loss that way.

 

[leytonstones]

I think that maybe a few of us are thinking about going back into "diet mode" now that Christmas and New Year are over ...

 

[buttercup2000]

Definitely in the diet mode now. Too many holiday treats. Time to return to fruits and veggies! Time to focus on the glory of the orange.

Great idea . . .
