winewanderer Posted August 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hello, Belle, great poem. I did better this week, lost 1 lb. I would be very happy to go down another couple of pounds before cruise time in 3 weeks. We'll see. Hope everyone else did well. Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croozengal Posted August 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I've gained 1 lb since Monday. [emoji58]Left a little of my self-respect in the McDonald's drive thru yesterday [emoji23][emoji23] But it was GOOD!

retiring soon Posted August 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi all! Belle ~ cute poem!:D Hope you find a cruise soon. Always nice to have something to look forward to! Well, my experiment worked! I haven't had anything to eat, & only a diet cola to drink, after 7 each night & have lost 1.8 lbs. I don't go to bed until 12:30 so that's a long stretch for me without food & I'm starving.:o Here's the kicker now I think wow I could have some chips or something! I'm going to try to be good as I really would like to get back down from 161.2 to the 147 lbs. I was 10 years ago. Good luck to the rest of you & have a nice weekend. ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaviswv Posted August 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Good afternoon. Down 1 here. Congrats everyone for doing well. I agree the long stretches without eating tend to work well for the most part. I'm usually done eating by 4:30 and have a smoothie for breakfast at 7. Have a great Friday and an even better weekend guys! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootr Posted August 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I just had a turkey wrap. I'm in food jail! [emoji23] I'm all over that, looks great! I know what lunches the next few days will look like now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted August 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Whew, made it thru the weekend, and this week with nary a slip up, short of not exercising enough a couple days. Down 2 to 197, and feeling good - I know I can get to the end of the month on track and enjoy Hawaii when I get there. I finally hit that point where this isn't as challenging to stick to. The cravings are down, thanks to mixing up what I'm eating (lot's of chicken, pork loin, shrimp, big salads, etc.) I'm splurging on things like craisins and sliced walnuts in the salads, along with crispy fried onions (like grandma put on the green bean casserole, lol) for a different texture. And one slice of an organic, sprouted grain bread as my evening snack - plenty to kill the inevitable carb craving. Going to make a big bowl of mexican-style shrimp cocktail to get me thru this weekend - that always helps me stick to plan. Good thread this week - lots of talking, sharing, trying. Thanks everyone for contributing, I know for me at least it's very helpful. Have a good weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine91 Posted August 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Back from our cruise last Saturday. Was mortified when I weighed myself on Sunday as the scale said I gained 17lbs... Weighed myself again on Monday and it said I was down 9lbs so at least I know it is mostly water weight. Weighed in again this morning and down another 3lbs so all in all I only really gained 5lbs on our cruise but even with that I am still under the weight I originally set as my cruise goal so I will take it. Back on my routine now to lose the remaining weight I want gone. Should be booking our next cruise in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted August 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Shootr's tips for surviving a weekend... Giant bowl of spicy shrimp cocktail: (There's only 1200 calories in that whole bowl: 2lbs shrimp, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, lots of hot sauces) Take 2-3 days to eat it, just a little bowl every time I get hungry. And other diversions to stay out of the kitchen... Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do... [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted August 12, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Everyone having a good weekend? Hope so. I think I joined most of you, I lost a lb too. Proud of all of you. Your all trying so hard to lose. Plus when you "go off track or cruise" you get right back on track. Congrats to you all! (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaviswv Posted August 13, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi guys. Weekend is going well here. Walked a five mile loop this evening. Felt pretty good. Have been walking outside a few times a week to mix things up a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
