I'm currently on lyle mcdonalds ultimate diet 2.0. To drop the last 10. But before it was typically a gung ho approach during the week. And if some sort of social thing was going on where eating was involved I would try follow the same principles. Prioritizing veggies and protein.

But low carb bottom line works well for me. That and calorie counting. Its really easy to over eat carbs if u arnt keeping a close eye on it

how do you know how many carbs to take in per your body weight?,....I get scarred of them..and don't know how to handle them....AT ALL!

on my normal diet, since i count calories and know im hitting a deficit, its pretty much whatevers left. since im lifting and exercising i eat 1.5g protein per lb bodyweight, 10 grams of fish oil, and the rest of my calories i split between fat and carbs, but i like fat more than carbs :) Peanut butter, almonds, chicken thighs instead of breasts, cheese, etc

.... Interesting.... How could I find out how to distribute them in my eating? .... Sorry I'm just lost in this sense......:)

What do u mean distribute? How much of what u should be eating?

.... Yes, exactly.... What potion of protein, carbs, fats,etc.
How do I calculate that ?.... I've used programs b4 that tell you what percentage of what you ate After you ate it,.... But I still didn't and don't know what amount of anything to take in. People say it's about cals in verses out. I get that part. But what percentage of the calories I take in goes so what sector...? If you know what I mean...

I really appreciate your help :)

Went out yesterday and everyone noticed my size dropping a little and hell yeah it made me happy.:party: Not to uncomfortable but yeah psychologically I need to figure this whole thing out a little bit better. So I have a million friends, regardless of my weight I am a social butterfly.. hahahaha.. lol.. but it;s kinda weird now when all my skinny friends are like hey we should go shopping...:rofl: It's just something I'm not use to doing.. cuz why would I go shopping for all this skinny girl stuff before?? but now it's weird I'm like okkkkkkkk.. Let;s do it.. hahahl... lol.. Hey true but sad people do treat you way different based on you losing weight .. that's what kinda freaks me out.. because I'm not gonna change because I have always been who I am.. Right?? duhhhhhhhhh.. Regardless just felt like babbling for a minute... It trips me out to see how far I'm coming along and it scares me too.. crazy hah.. and a lot of people don't understand except on here because I have been hiding behind somehting .. and I can't figure it out........ oh well.. yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!:) I remember in my first page how unmotivated I was and now I just know that If I program my days right,, with food and excersize there is no no no stopping me.. :grouphug::party:I'm gonna go on fast speed.. so I didn't make it by the begiinning of summer but I will by the end..............:auto:

I know what you mean about people treating you different....and CLOTHES shopping...

...shit..I should let you shop in my closet...I'm gonna clean it out soon...I'll bring over the stuff I'm gonna give away so that you can take dibs if you want anything...

...I realized I want less clothes and to start buying "Motivational Clothing" Sizes smaller like I used to. FUCK OLD CLOTHES!

...Attention...oooh...It does freak me out too....like the other night, I did decide to go out...and OMG...all the attention I was getting that I'm not used to from people is REAL scarry...

at least I understand you...

...You were looking AMAZING the other day, and I'm so happy for you!!! SHIT GIRL, NEXT WEEK BABY!!!!!!!!!! :party:

...You have changed incredibly throughout the past year, and I'm so happy I've been taking pics of you along the way....to add to the B4's!!! ;)

....Bikini by summer....:D!!! So you motivated me yesterday and I did it...I got a bikini that is super Old School and I tried it on at night, just I guess to take a progress pic, and WHALA...it wasn't as BAD as I thought...not AS BAD...I said...hahah ..maybe I'll get brave and post it in the Month to Month Challenge thread...we'll see we'll see.....

...REGARDLESS,....you inspired me to get my gallon of water jug....cause YOU AIN'T GETTING SKINNY without me Biatch!!!! hahah..............I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beating:!! xoxoxoxo
 
Hi Ivette, I understand totally where you are coming from. I, too have found many people treat me differently now that I have lost weight. It's a little sad really but it's their problem, not ours. I'm still the same person inside, but they just did not bother getting to know me before. It does take a while to get used to attention but now I am quite ok with it. So long as it's well-intentioned it's nice. I used to hide behind my fat & have always hated being the centre of attention. Try to see yourself through their eyes. They are probably just admiring you for what you have done. Why wouldn't they? Try to enjoy it sweets. Counselling helped me overcome some of the reasons that I hid. With time I am gaining more confidence & know that I will never hide behind fat again. I have to really work on my self-esteem but it is growing daily. I see yours strengthening & growing & it's wonderful to see. You deserve to be slim, healthy & sensational! xoxo,Cate
 
:cheers2:hi everyone!!! So I have been gone for a minute.. So here goes my highest weight has been in the 230's thanks to me changing my frame of mind in january I started this journey again at 195 and made it to 159.. My main issue was that my skin was full of flab and I felt I was going no where that no matter how hard I tried I had all this extra skin.. I was ready for change... I was ready for a new on me.. On July 2nd. at 11 am.. I got a full body lift.. Meaning I took all my flab from my stomach off, from my back and hips off and yup.. I feel it was the only way to give me a fresh start.. Now I can start really working on the 6pack and all...So basically I'm still recuperating.. I have drains and all but I will upload one pic.. real quick so you can see a little of the little new me.. yeyyyyyy..I'm really excited and happy for myself.. Finally I can't hide behind my fat cuz I have none.. ... If It wouldn't have been for this forum I don't think I would've have been able to find myself as much as I have... Well I can't upload the pic cuz it's to big in memory.. so goodbye ms...piggy :piggy: I can't begin to express how great and new I feel.. How happy I am with me... it's all me ... I have nothing to hide behind no more. I am just conquering the world.. I'm turning 30 this year and I deserve it.. I love it.. and am happy with all my decisions and choices... :) :hurray::hurray:
 
WOW!!! Gee whiz, chicky, what a huge decision you made to have surgery done! Rest up, I have seen first hand the toll surgery can have on your body!!
Yes, I agree with Alta, WE WANT PICS!!!
 
Hey, i was wondering where you were. Glad to see everything worked out for you. I wish you a speedy recovery. I think you looked great before and cant imagine how good you will look now. Cant wait for the pics.

Matt
 
Hey everyone... Kc, Alta, Matt.. thanks for stopping by.. All the comments are so nice and supportive.. I tend to fall of the bandwagon sometimes but this time I have been fully out...........:grouphug::biggrinjester:As for me I am recuperating still it was a big surgery took 10 hours.. I am so so thrilled though.. Now I feel I can finally start working on my body, toning it and all.. I think my last drain should be out by friday therefore I will post pics for sure.. There not gonna be amazing cuz this surgery is all about recuperation. It takes about 6 months to be fully recuperated and I'm close to 3 weeks since my operation on thursday. Therefore I will still show a glimpse of what I am or what I was.. I made it here because of all my hard efforts but at least now that extra flab and stretchy skin is gone..yey...........:party: It's been a good meditation and relaxation time as well to be able to deal with myself and find myself a lot better. I can't do anything so I have been meditating a lot... I am super excited.. have been eating super healthy.. still following cohen and drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day..I have just trying to follow a healthy lifestyle.. Will continue on with my healthy lifestyle from here until the end of time... :party::party:
