On The Road To Regain Control

I had a family gathering yesterday morning after church at the park. I was proud of myself. I totally didn't over do it on the home cooked food. Though I was very tempted... I didn't. There ain't nothin better then a pot luck in Kentucky. Yum.

For Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, and 1 slice of wheat toast.

I'll be in town all day again, so I'll probably go for the fast food again. Maybe I'll go for a salad this time.
 
Daily Calorie Allowance: 2,108

Breakfast: Two Pieces of wheat toast, and a little less then a Tbsp of butter= 190 calories.
 
Lunch

For lunch: My grandma took me to O' Charlies, to celebrate my new found "senior-hood".

I Had the chicken tenders, with fries, and tomato soup. That was awful for me, and it ended up equaling up to about 1923 calories.

So that plus breakfast makes about 2,113. So I went over my daily allowance by a few... dinner not included...because I haven't had it yet.

I'll probably go light to nothing... for supper, since I'm not very hungry anyways.

What fun.

Weight Watchers...

As you've all probably noticed... I don't really have a set of dieting guidlines I'm following to an exact. As of tomorrow, after reading alot about the program, and witnessing a friends success, I'm going to pick up on the weight watchers point system. In fact... the whole family has decided to do the same.

Tomorrow, is also my first day back to school.

Sadly but surely I haven't reached my three week goal deadline. Instead of losing ten pounds, I only lost five. There is a possiblity I may step on the scale tomorrow morning and be completely blown away, but I doubt it.

I'll be sure to let you guys know.

Night Night.
 
For Breakfast I'm going to have: One Slice of Wheat Toast, and Two Eggs. = 8 of my 22 allotted points.

So yea. I didn't reach my three week goal of ten pounds but I must say, for the twenty pounds I did manage to lose this summer... I'm lookin pretty good for the first day of my Senior year.
 
Way to go Jen! 5 lbs may not be the 10 you wanted, but it's better than nothing, and WAY better than going up!:D

I'm not on a plan either. For the first 2 weeks I just cut out unnecessary snacking, and eating past supper time. This alone has lost me 3 lbs. I've been looking into the weight watchers thing too. I borrowed the pointscalculator from my sis, and took out some WW cookbooks from the library. I don't intend to follow it to a T, but I know it will help.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks!!

Guess what... Well besides the fact I've had a great first two days as a top dog senior, and I've done excellent on my diet as well, I NOW WEIGH 159!!!!!!!!!! OMG I WEIGH 159!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Later.
 
It's fairly easy to keep track too, I found an online site that has a whole bunch of food's points already done, so I don't have to research calories too much. I only go over because of pop...my one vice.:(

Congratulations on breaking 160! I can't wait to get to that. I haven't weighed that low since high school I think.
 
Soda is my calorie killer too. Now, I'd rather eat the calories than drink them so I'm trying to cut down on the soda.

Congrats on being 159--I can tell that you are going to have a great Senior Year!!!
 
Hey all... So I haven't spoke in a while. I'm still weighing in between 159 and 160 each time I step on the scale. I haven't been dieting properly either. I'm eating enough to mantain my weight, but not little enough to lose it. I'm considering returning to the forum on regular basis, for motivation once again. It was alot easier when I had people cheering me on.
 
I know what you mean; I feel like even if I have a day where I don't care, I don't want to let everyone here down when they're rooting for me!

You can do it!
 
totally. Please please please please please don't do what I did. I'm still kicking myself for it. Last month, i went off the deep end and ate horribly. Gained almost 12lbs. it was really bad. I stopped coming here, and lost the support and it took me FOREVER to get back in gear. I finally made the decision to come back, and i'm glad i did so. Don't avoid the forum, it's actually the best thing in helping me lose the weight! Don't worry at the moment about the scale not moving for you. At least it's not moving back up! You can do it girl! I know you can!
 
Jen,
It's great to see you posting again!!

Welcome back and here's to getting the boost we all could use!
:)
 
Thanks guys I'm glad to be back.

I forgot how comforting this place really was.

I'm eating better now. Not perfectly, but I'm getting there.

I'm taking gym this semeister and that's helping me alot.
 
Hey! having gym is cool. I only have vb at the moment, so i'm getting tons of exercise right now, but that will stop when vb ends. BUT, my brother is moving out soon, hopefully. *crosses fingers* And we're going to turn his room into an exercise room. I really really really really want a tread mill.

It's good to see you back! feel free to pm me anytime you want!
 
So here we go...

I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 159...

I was like "Yay!...." but I didn't get to excited because the last time the scale tricked me and I had only lost a bit of water weight or something.

So I'm not stepping back on the scale until next saturday. I'll be a much happier person this week thinking I'm under 160, whether I truely am or not.

For breakfast I had my usual eggs and toast.
And for lunch I had some of my Moms homemade chicken noodle soup.

I'm not sure what I'll have for dinner.

Today is my much needed "Me Day". I had a nervous break down of some sort last week due to certain stresses, and Tyler suggested I just take a day completely to myself to unwind. So far to day I've done a whole lot of nothing. I even took a nap. I played with my Bunny, and my kitties, and I've fiddled with my hair, watched television etc.

Fun, right?

My "me day" will officially end at 12 o'clock tonight.
