Kimber's Sad Weigh in

Well, I am sad to say that I gained over the holidays. I weighed in at 116.9 :( I am getting back on track now and will be watching what I eat from now on. I gained 1.7 lbs in 2 weeks. I need to lose 2 lbs now in 2 weeks to meet my goal. I know I can do it I just need to. I ate so much during the holidays and I know when I was eating I was gaining I just couldn't stop. It is amazing what just a 1.5 or so does to me, when I was down to 115 I felt like my stomach was flat and it didn't hang over when I sat down, finally, but now I have that roll back. I did good and exercised almost everyday the last two weeks, but I guess it does matter what you eat. My family had candy around and sweets all the time so I ate them. I am not going to get down about it, I just need to focus and work hard and eat better. I am glad I enjoyed the holidays though. Good luck to you too ladies.

Brindy, what I did when I dieted was I had a Slimfast for breakfast, then a 100 calorie mid-morning snack, Slimfast for lunch with some fruit and maybe a little bit of what the kids had, then a 100 calorie afternoon snack, then a normal dinner, and then a 100 calorie evening snack. Now I was not super accurate on the calorie counting, but just guessed. My favorite snack I found was cashews, you get a pretty good handful and they seem to fill me up. That was how I started the diet, then after a couple of weeks I noticed that my stomach shrunk and I didn't need all those snacks or some days I would take out a Slimfast and just have a snack. I know Lisa didn't do two Slimfasts a day so you can ask her too. Oh, I bought the Kirkland chocolate weight loss shakes from Costco that are equivalent to Slimfast, they are a good price ( I think) and yummy! I did have the powder stuff but didn't like it as much, so I ended up just buying the Costco stuff because it was easier and tastier.
