From: mikesmith9999 on 28 Jul 2008 13:21 Here I am again wondering how I'm going to shed those 11 extra pounds. My weight has been fluctuating from 180 to 184 for a few months. My goal is 170. I've decided to go back to the 1500-calorie diet. I write down everything I eat with the number of calories. It's now 1:30PM, and so are I've taken in 1150 calories. Only 350 calories left for the day! I have to be careful with I eat. I feel like having tortillas right now... Let's forget about it for today. I might have them tomorrow, but I will ensure I don't spend most of my "1500-calorie budget" on them. It's easy for me to go overboard and eat the whole bag at once which amounts to a few thousands of calories.

Jillian Michaels says sometimes when you have those last few pounds to lose, sometimes you have to have a higher calorie day because your body holds onto those last, she calls them vanity pounds, so try that and see if that helps. Good luck.

Good luck. Thanks for your support. I finished my day with two glasses of natural grapefruit juice. Only 180 calories. That juice is one of the best ways to do away with hunger.
From: mikesmith9999 on 30 Jul 2008 22:31 Today I took in 1600 calories. Even though I was hungry at times, I enjoyed my food even more. It seems that the least of something you have, the more you appreciate it. A co-worker offered me a fee dougnot, the one I love most, the Boston Cream. I declined. I told him that my goal of becoming slim is my number one priority. I've decided to have some tortillas with hot salsa for snack tomorrow afternoon. This time I won't have the whole bag (about 2000 calories in all with the salsa), but just a few for a total of 250 calories. As long as I limit myself to 1500 calories, that's all that matters to me.

If I had 350 calories left I would have opted for: extra lean ground beef patty (4oz before cooking) large slice of onion cooked sliced yellow summer squash (2 cups before cooking) a pat of butter All for 339 calories. |
