Gayle, I hope that's it! (: This morning that pound was gone and I hope it stays away! I have been too lean on water the past couple days, I'll be better today.
irishrose, I haven’t been using WW, but I do weigh, measure and track everything I eat -- the best use of the iPad yet! I use FitDay. I think my diet is good. I do not eat fast food and rarely eat processed foods anymore. I average around 1500 calories.
I don’t eat as many carbs, my average over the past six weeks is carbs at 27%. My fats are from mostly good sources: almonds and olive oil with occasional peanut butter or cheese although I eat dairy very sparingly. Over the past 40 days, my calories went over the 1500 range just once. I ate 1918 calories, including one glass of red wine. I didn’t eat junky food, I just ate more food. Maybe I need to cycle my calories a little bit to keep my metabolism guessing?
I honestly believe that the best thing I did was to quit drinking Diet Coke early in January. I didn’t anticipate it, but since then I’ve had no food cravings at all and a greatly diminished appetite.
Thanks for being there!
