Water is definitely a good thing when losing weight.avajayne said:I'm on the Try-My-Best-To-Make-Good-Decisions-Diet.
Working OK for me so far.
Really though, I just watch what I eat, and how much I eat...exercise daily, and try not to make weight loss my daily focus. I find that makes me anxious.
Oh..and I drink tons of water.
I was trying to make the right choices and just eat healthier in the beginning, but I kept screwing up lol. For some reason it's just easier for me to have something to follow. I thought the South Beach diet sounded kinda sketchy to me at first, like just another fad diet...actually, I was kinda pissed off when my doctor suggested it LOL. But it's pretty well balanced and keeps me from craving the bad stuff all the time.
I also try to keep myself busy with other things, so I don't get too obsessive about losing weight.

i'm on the "okay tanya, limit yourself to 1200 calories NO DONT EAT THAT, STOP IT! GO TO THE GYM NOW" diet
i'm pretty hard on myself which means i dont binge often, although this last weekend was brutal because first my mom was in town so i went out to lunch AND dinner with her, and then it was fathers day meaning pasteries at breakfast (i didn't eat any though) and going out to dinner. I beat myself up pretty bad for that. Anyway though, its monday and i'm starting fresh again, trying to keep my cal intake at 1050-1100 and such. I can't follow fad diets and things too strict since i'm at home right now and have dinner with my dad, which he makes. I may be able to start that up when i get back to school and have a dining hall with lots of choices (mostly bad choices though).
today has gone well. had work at hollister, so that kept me away from the kitchen lol. breakfast was oatmeal with 1 scoop of protein powder and some pineapple. snacked on some dry kashi cereal and then lunch was a turkey sandwich and a yogurt. came home and snacked on some baby carrots and grapes. dinner is prob fish with veggies and dessert wil lbe cottage cheese. also went to the gym and did 55 min cardio split between the elliptical and stairclimber. tomorrow i'm doing my first 45 min weight lifting session. then pilates in the evening. tomorrow is going to be a gymfest pretty much. 2 hours in the morning and then another hour at night ich.
i went on the scale and i was still at 134.5 meaning since may 31st until now, (almost an entire 3 weeks) i have not budged at all. talk about a BAD PLATEAU EW IM ANGRY. these new changes better have some kind of effect or my self-esteem and motivation may make a turn for the worst. i'm not really losing that many inches either. i've lost an inch in my hips since i started this diet, and half an inch in my waist and half an inch in my thigh. things are going really really slow here. im warning you guys now, you're going to have to keep me going at this beacuse its when i stop seeing results that i want to stop.
anyway, hows everyone else doing? everyone have a good day?? oh quick thing thats nagging me...is there such thing as too much water? is there a limit i should be putting on the water i drink?

Hi guys! I have been on 'weekend - off the puter' thing! How did everyone's weekend go? I watched what I ate, even though we had filet mignon for father's day...but, still watched what went into my mouth!
Has anyone heard of the 3 apples a day (I hesitate to say 'diet') diet? It is basically to eat an apple at the start of breakfast, lunch and dinner...to help fiber, etc.
I am looking into EVERYTHING!
I am trying to get this exercise thing going again too...I used to do it everyday..but, then somehow, got out of the flow of things.
The kids are out of school right now, need to start again!
Talk to you all later!
How's my buddy doing? summer?

Thanks Avi and Happy Birthday!!
Its my birthday next week and I am going out for a meal, and I will be having a dessert. I also have a small family party and I will probably indulge a bit then. But you have to live your life and enjoy yourself! I will be on this forum on the 27th begging for motivation to get back on the straight and narrow though!!

i just ate so much at the grad party, so i'm not eating dinner
total cal intake for today is 1900-2000 calories, but 1200 of that is fruit salad, veggies and dip, 2 1/2 brownies, a mini snickers, and a small roll with ham and cheese, and a slice of cake. whats WRONG with me argh. i'm so angry right now...seriously. like...its bc i restrict so much that when i go to a place like this, and all this food is there i just flip out. plus my friend is starting a diet tomorrow and she kept being like "just one day off isn't going to hurt. today's the last day" but when poeple tell me that i go on a rampage and eat everything. i've probaby underestimated also, i'm prob more like at 2100 or so. at least i had a hardcore exercise today. 2100 calories isn't enough to make me GAIN weight is it??
i'm so frustrated/sad that i can get caught into a binge so easily
