lunyma Posted October 31, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2004 On a 4 night cruise, I managed to gain 3 whole pounds, which I lost immediately, after one day home (thanks to lasix and a *normal diet*)... Unfortunately though, I was up 2 lbs on the day I left (Monday), from the last time I weighed in ( the 21st)... Soooooo.,.. I am still up 2 lbs from my last weigh in (TOM, 12 days late... Don't ya just love menopause???). Not only do I need to drop those 2 lbs, but another 15-20 or so would be nice, as well... I do not believe in Atkins or South Beach, so I guess I am gonna have to do this on my own, unless someone has another suggestion. I need my carbs, and due to a very stressful family situation right now, I can NOT excersize... Any ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted October 31, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Pam, Sounds like you did OK on your cruise. I too am in that mempause thing No visits since May 3rd. I just hope I can continue this lucky streak:p I have been dieting since January 1st this year. I a not following Atkins and South Beach I don't think they teach you the proper way to eat. I am acutally doing my own program which is kinda of a version of Old Weight Watchers from many years ago with atwist of Fit For Life. I try to stay at about 1000 calories a day. I eat low fat foods,limited my carbs such as breads and pastas, eat lots of veggies, have at least1 to 2 fruits a day I eat yogurt daily and have 5 to 7 ounces of protein a day. Then I exercise every day. Sunday is the only day I do not watch what I eat. After church today I will go to a Champagne Brunch and totally Enjoy. But.... before church I will get on my treadmill and do aheavy work out. Since January I am now down 52.5 pounds and want to loose another 5 to 10 pounds. Keep up the good work, sometimes you just have to do what you think is right for your body and not worry about fad diets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunyma Posted November 1, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thanks to all for the encouragement. I not only lost what I gained, already, but another 1 1/2 as well. Just 1/2 lb over my last weigh in, on the 21st. I'm just watching what I eat, and drinking lots of water... So far, so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
