TN Ten Pounds Take-Off

Titan---I'm 5'8".  I have always been slender and fit.  I was around 146 to 150 at the time I was dx.  I felt great and was happy with the way my clothes fit and the way I looked. I have voiced my concerns to my onc and she is not terribly worried about my current weight.  But I am.  My body just seems stuck in this weight zone.  And the simple fact is that heart disease runs in my family(Dad had open heart surg) and my Mother is obese.  My triglycerides are at 226.  Cholesterol is OK.  I needed that boot in the butt to get remotivated to make better food choices.  Exercising is and has been a very normal part of my routine.  So I will keep plugging along and if all else fails....like heidi said, just cut my head off and lose a quick 15 lbs!!!!

Oh well, you can knock it if you've tried it! but 6 oz cold water with 1 tsp orange metamucil is so doable when its 10pm and calorie wise, you can't have more food, but you're hungry and can't go to sleep!  Double the dose is a laxative and may cause bloating, but I still sing the praises of it as a good fiber drink.  There is one that has no taste and no grit. Remember all the birthday cake I ate for each and all of you?  Urp - up almost a pound.   At my pcp yesterday, she noted I had lost 5 lbs since I saw her, and her praise was all I needed!  

Well I'm game to try the metamucil when I can finally remember to buy it at the store LOL!

Titan:  That is awesome!  I still think we have to eat like a pig occassionaly .  I just love food too much to go without all of the time.

Sorry Navy mom..that I made you hungry..but I do like to talk about food and eat it too!

Good morning Girls,

I have remained the same, which surprised me given the fact that I ate more than I should this weekend. Thank God for exercise! 150.4 lbs This Morning.

Have a great day!

Still hanging out at 159-160

Well I've been trying the Metamucil/citrical - stopping the huge hunger attacks. So far pretty good - make a huge pan of brownies for my daughter and only tried one( you know that is a requirement in case they wern't good or something) and have resisted. But still the same- 140, sigh but having high hopes this will work!

Down another pound ladies.

Toooooooooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOT to work out outside tonight. I guess I'll go up and down the stairs tonight. As long as I am moving right!!!???

168 this morning    I have cut out all sweets and changed snacking to fruit or whole grains.  Feeling less hungry than I was in the beginning.  I think that it takes your body several days/weeks to get offf the simple sugars.  I am even feeling less bloated than I was before.

I celebrated 6 birthdays in the last month, (mine X2) so I'm up 3 pounds of Birthday Cakes !  Whatever!  I went for a swim and that night I thought my body from the waist down was going to self destruct!  Back pain shifted into high gear.  Back on strict SouthBeach, sigh.

Uhm..Heidi..when do you weigh yourself?  Even if you drink coffee/water in the am b-4 weighing yourself you can gain weight..

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I am posting so late. I went back to work 2 weeks ago and today was my day off, but had doc appt  and went school shopping with my kids. I am pooped! Anyhow, glad to report 147.9lbs.

Hope everyone is doing well. XOXO Monika  

Yaaa, just a false alarm on that 3 lbs!  (that strange fluctuation)...I'm at 144.2 which isn't bad at all considering all I ate.  I say this because I think its true, if you do 6 perfect days, you can pig out on day #7 and it won't wreck your progress.  

Yaa Monika and NavyMom!!!

How is your back Heidi?
