What I learned from all you guys: stick to it, exercise of some sort daily, better food choices, and eating something small when I come home from work so I don't over eat at supper. Portion control still needs to be watched-I liked the suggestion to add lots of veggies to plate from TruPeach. I don't feel deprived when my plate looks full and they really are filling.
Everyone keep up the good work. Even if the scale doesn't show a loss right away, we're healthier and eventually will show a loss. (Sorry I was whining last week about not losing LOL).
Thank you thank you again everyone and hang in there-congrats to those who lost and congrats to everyone who has made healthy changes!!
Aren't you glad you didn't give up?????????? I know I am!!!!!!! 3 lbs great......you are doing so well, everyones body is different it took yours a little time to adjust, but now you will see the benefits of all the work, the lbs will start to melt away!!!!!!!!! doing the happy dance for you!!!!!!!!
Here is a great easy weigh(hehe) to add veggies to pasta. after you fill the pot with water add fresh or frozen veggies, Broccoli and spinach work well but you can use whatever you want. When the water comes to a boil add pasta and cook as usual. When it is done drain and you have everything cooked at once. Toss in your favorite sauce and you are good to go.
I think everyone is doing great!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone needs a little help without asking on the open forum send me a PM and I will do my best to help you figure out a game plan.
