This started the first day of my "committed" actual diet.

Lunch
Salad pocket - 90 cal
2 oz cajun turkey - 80 cal
water 8 oz - 0 cal

1180 Cal total

Excersice
1 Swimming for 20 minutes / Laid out in the sun for 1 hour :cool:

I wonder how many calories I should be eating a day.

Thinks I need to change: Need to be drinking more water. I really didnt drink much. I should be eating snacks or 5 small meals a day. EAT HEALTHIER.

I plan on weighing myself every Saturday and Tuesday.

Hello Heidi,

Good luck on your 'commited' changes. I think you will have much success if you model a plan similar to day one (except the Papa Johns part), just keep yourself fresh with the menu and stay true to your goals.

I think you'll find ample support and countless ideas here to make your weight loss just a littile bit easier.

As far as your calorie count and considering you're looking to lose 25 lbs and then maintain the weight loss, I'd say 1200 will get the job done as long as you have a plan for maintaining later on. I would hope you increase calories with good food and stay true to your daily exercise after you hit your goal weight.

I'm also glad your realize the need to add snacks into your daily routine, it really will make a huge difference satisfying some of your hunger moments with the correct snacks.
 
40 hours into a diet and my mind thinks I am starving! I know I am not hungry, but my belly feels empty. I did resist the urge to get on the scale...only hours into a diet and expect a miracle.

I used the calorie counter T2 had posted on his diary. With 1200 calories a day, it would average 2 mo and 13 days to loose 25 #.

I know I can do it!

Does anyone have any ideas for healthy snacks?

Thanks T2!
 
I like to eat raw veggies to fill that void in my stomach... low calories, and apparently veggies are good for you... who knew? :D
 
good positive attitude you've got there.. it will take you exactly where you want to go... drink more water... that'll help fill the void... and have some pre cut up veggies and fruits so that you've got easy snacks to reach for..
 
^ yeah like the mott's applesauce and the dole gelatin fruit cups...they are yummy.

Don't worry, your mind will figure out that your not starving :)
 
Great snack ideas.. much better then my mini candy bars!

Weighed myself today, and lost 4 pounds since Friday. It must be water or something.

Exersice, 100 crunches, 100 squats, walk 30 minutes (I really need to figure out how far I am walking)

Should I be watching Carbs along with calories??
 
Keeping my diary on Fitday now!... Had appx 1100 calories today. I really resisted the urge to go to the CHINA BUFFET with my coworkers. One worker is on weight watchers but still eats out all of the time. I dont think I could go to a buffet and control myself. Everyone over eats at a Buffet... come on!.... you hafta atleast get your $$'s worth!!

I still feel hungry, but it is starting to be a good feeling. Forgot to put 40 min walk.

8-11-06, I totally blew it!!!!!!! Dont even know how many calories I had today. I had a special K bar 90 cals this morning. Was in a meeting during lunch, so didnt eat. Then my husband was at Gander Mtn with my daughter and wanted me to just meet him there after work. Then he wanted to go out to eat at the Olive Garden. Big Mistake. I ate everything that I shouldnt, after the salad. After we ate we went to the shoe store and then to TJ Maxx, then to his mother's house, so we didnt get home till 12:30 AM. So no exercise either.

Holy Crap. Its so easy to fall off of the horse. I did it without even thinking. To top it all off with my sister's mini pin died from anesthesia having his ears docked by a Vet that I recommended. Today SUCKED.

This is my first season hunting with a bow... last year gun hunted deer and turkey, but didnt kill any. Maybe this year!!! I love shooting my bow. Went to my fist bow shoot a few weekends a go, and I kicked my husbands ass!!! Whoohoo... My husband would LOVE to shoot turkey in Texas.

Thanks on the 5 pounds, I just hope I continue to loose! Good luck on your weight loss, you have done AWSOME.
 
I cleaned allllllll morning long for like 3 hours. Then my mom came over for dinner. I went a little over the 1200 cals but not much... though we had speghetti for dinner. I didnt over eat, but I did have a brownie for desert. Didnt eat anything after 7. I got a reusable liter bottle for water...3 times a day drink up!

Dieting sucks. I wanted to eat a speghetti snack, like right now, 10 PM, but I resisted... YAY.

Pondering joining the YMCA. $28.00 a month. Worth it? Will I go? The Y here is geared towards weight lifting, no pool, and no classes of any kind for adults yet. Then there is Curves, but dont know much about it. Walking is getting boring real fast.
