Photocrazed - Journey to a Healthy lifestyle

Question:

What exactly does Photocrazed refer to? :confused:

Does that have to do with the pic of you that is your inspiring motivator?

And if the answer is already in this thread I apologize.
 
I love taking photos. I love nature, sunsets, sunrise, people.. whatever. I have tons and tons and tons of photos--digitally that is. I don't get all prints, but will pick my best shots and use for various purposes.

Wow.. ok the girls I work with are both on diets.. one girl weighing 168 lost 8 lbs in 1.5 weeks and says it's healthy.. I don't know what diet she started on, but she's lying about it.. she tells me one thing and the other girl something else. But I told her she wasn't going about it in a healthy way, but she seems to disagree.

The other girl, went to her doc and got appetite suppressants and a diet plan that has her eating between 1000-1200 cals per day and she weighs more than me... I explained how much I was eating and able to lose weight, but I told her that she needed to see a dietician not her regular MD.
 
Yikes! I know when I started I lost 15lbs within 1.5 months. That was quick. But then I stopped losing all together, until I got off Weight Watchers and started counting calories (1200-1550/day).

Are you using Spark People? Because that is the exact calorie range they have me on. :D

You're very pretty and I can see how your face has slimmed down.

You work hard on those girls and tell them its gotta be something they can do for the rest of their lives. If all the experts said we should take diet pills then they would be part of a sensible plan. Ask them how they're feeling (on 1000 calories) and tell us what they say.

Good for you for helping them out!
You're beautiful by the way...
Sometime soon I'm going to start a thread in "Off Topic" that is going to be me showing off my favorite pictures I've taken...maybe you can put up some of your best??
Later, though....

Yeah, I starting using Spark a few weeks ago, when I kicked WW. I was very good about posting everything I ate, but lately I've been having trouble. I'll get back into it again. I found it really helped me stay on track to exercise. Alas........ same thing with the eating, having trouble lately.

I started using it in February, and have posted everyday except the week I was on vacation. that whole week is blank. :) :( I like it, but I'm thinking the Protein #'s are off based on what I have read posted here and elsewhere. I'm seeing that I should be getting at least 155+G protein since I'm in a caloric deficit.

Unless I buy some protein powder or something, I'm not sure where I can fill all the requirements.

I'm trying to eat cleaner. Less processed foods and more fresh stuff. I honestly think this is the healthiest I have ever eaten in my life.
 
I'm having trouble getting my protein levels up too!

that & iron... not sure how in the world I am able to get that much iron in one day!
 
oh no! Sorry.. didn't mean to add one more thing.

I just add on Fiber, Calcium & Iron to the normal stuff, just for me. I figure if the body stops absorbing calcuim after 30 then I better get all I can now. As for the iron, I have been diagnosed as anemic in the past & pretty much have realized I am now. So that's the focus there.
