Weight-Loss
I'm bringing shrimp cocktail and hot crab dip. The shrimp isn't too bad, but the crab dip is pure sin. It's responsible for a good 3 pounds weight gain over New Years.

Oh man, crab dip sounds delicious!! Do you make it yourself? Depends on what you dip in it that really packs the punch. Celery just doesn't compare to tortilla chips, crackers, or bread. MMMM
 
I'm making it now. Two pounds of cream cheese, half a pound of cheddar, half cup of mayo, one pound of crab meat, some horseradish and spices and then bake.

Sorry, it doesn't matter what you dip into it, the dip is worse for you. Oh, it's soooooo goooooood.:drool5:

Well, if you were on a low carb diet, the dip wouldn't be that bad. Not too many carbs compared to the bread, unless you ate all the dip. lol

Guess it depends though. You're right, all that cheese is going to pack some fat & calories! I'm going to make some, only a smaller version. You've inspired me!! I have a can of crab meat in the cabinet I've been wondering what to do with, and all those ingredients.
 
Claud, I have a question...If I dont do perfect all week and dont earn the bonus points do my 10's through the rest of the week count?

Oh and dont beat yourself up, tempation and everything else is hard.Your weight isnt as bad as you make it in our eyes and your absolutly beautiful with a stunning body at the age of 40!Go Claud, I dojnt even come close to looking like that now, yet alone at 40!

Warning: Long Rant Ahead. I had a horrible night eating at that restaurant, but luckily I still have 3 days to make up for it. If I stick to 1528 calories per day for the next 3 days then I will make my 12,600 maximum calorie goal and yesterday's 2640 calories (YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT, WHILE I'M ON A FRIGGIN DIET!) wont matter. If I go over my weekly calories by monday night, then I will have to deduct 10 points from each day that I went over 1800 calories.

Not only can I not let my team down, but I can't let MYSELF down. If I do, this excess weight stays forever. Last night I felt like a damn stuffed sausage holding in my chubby stomach in my tight ass jeans. Gosh I was so uncomfortable, but I have no jeans left given that I'm bursting out of every single pair except one (not last nights, these are actually big enough thankfully). I REFUSE to buy the next size up so I better HURRY before everyone starts noticing those same jeans lol. I do clean them and change up the tops, purses, shoes, and coat. But those jeans are really the only ones that are not too tight, like last night's which are stretch so I can squeeze in and they look OK but they are so uncomfortable on the stomach.

If I screw up this first week, then its no wonder I keep gaining back weight I've already lost. I'll be busy all day and tomorrow, and WILL somehow stick to my calories (even though I'm a weekend eater usually eeek). I also need another 90 minutes of exercise before monday night..

Thanks for being disciplined and motivating me on Team Tits.

Awe blancita...dont put so much pressure on yourself...just stick to your plan and dont overthink it...everything will be fine. I know how you feel about the jeans..same here. I have ONE pair that fits...but better than NO pair that fits...you can do this blancita...we are with you 100%!!!

hugs

Hey team! Heres to as healthy a weekend as we can all have :) I'm going out tonight(scary!) but I will ONLY have one drink. I'll just hafta nurse it :rolleyes:
 
Thanks! Y'all are so inspiring! I'm just glad I have to be accountable to you or I would just keep eating at my maintenance level (and gaining), which is not what I'm after. I need to try harder. When I was losing I was eating around 1850 calories and losing .75 lbs per week. That worked great for me until I hit a plateau and despite eating less and less nothing went off. So I at least need to get back to my dieting calories and this challenge has me more determined than I am on my own.

Relly, you still get the 10 points for each day you ate within your plan. The reason I would go back and edit mine after the fact is that my plan allows me to eat more than my average 1800/day goal, as long as in the end of the week I go no higher than 12,600 calories per week. So if I eat more by the end of the week then I'll go back and adjust days that I gave myself points. As for you, doesn't your eating-nothing-junky plan allow for like one or two snacks a week? Considering I know you've been keeping your calories low, I can't imagine one home-made slice of pie -- from grandma nonetheless -- doesn't fit into your plan. Are you sure you didn't get the points for each day, you seem like you're eating's been great.
 
Thanx Claud:)

I know I hate feeling like cuz I choose to eat something it hinders me, my cals are low typically as you know so ya know it doeant really effect me, I was actually gonna talk about that in the thread.

Maybe I should just say more fruits and vegs...and or a cal count, I dunno what to say or do really...
 
Relly, I hate calorie counting but I have found I'm not doing so well without it. I think for you it would be very informationally useful. Like is it the calories or something else? You cannot be clear within yourself or to a doctor if you can't say exactly how many calories you eat. So it could be helpful to do so for the length of the challenge so you have a clear picture of what's going on with you and where you can go from there. But if your problem is not eating enough fruits and veggies and you want to focus on that, that's fine too. But the rules do permit snacks as long as they fit into your plan--eating generally healthy and less than our maintenance calories (whether by calorie counting or eating healthy meals that are low cal) or eating low carb if that's the diet you're on.

Well if you're able to resist this dish and all the other goodies at the party, you are one helluva disciplined person. If you can pull this off I will just be sapping some of that will power and motivation from you! Good luck!
 
Doing better today Team! I had 1480 calories for the day and I'm nice and full from my cream of mushroom soup dinner. Who woulda thunk??

Hope everyone's having a great weekend.
 
My prob isnt calories...I dont eat nearly enough food or calories...My boot camp instructor said typically one should ahve abt 1800 cals, I dont eat anywhere near that...The worse I do is drink pop which I am currently giving up agian:(LOL Or I might switch to diet and work on weening myself.

I need to add fruit and veg so, I will work on that...and I guess when figuring out my points I will put down i didnt make my point sif I binge out on junk food and such ? does that sound reasonable

I use to calorie count, now i dont even eat enough to bother and i dont eat anythign that is really bad for me, all grains and such, not enough protein and no bad foods really to speak of.This is why me not loosing weight is such a mystery...

Ugh, how frustrating Relly. I know how you feel.. Yes, eating healthy and not binging on junk (meaning a snack here and there is fine, we ourselves know when we're not making sense food wise) works for the challenge. If possible do try something to push the envelope so to speak, so if you know you dont eat enough protein or veggies or whatever then maybe focus on that.
 
Ya I gotta focus on fruit and vegg and more protein....

Thanx Claud I def know when I am bad and I hated the fact that cuz of one lil stupid piece of pie I had to say 0!

My focus is healthy eating, which means improving my over all health, ie, adding the thigns I need to be healthy, I eat very low cals but they arent the greastest cals ya know.

Im feeling better thank you:)I actually think that I might have some sort of food issues as I really just dont want to eat even when my tum is a grumbling...it is almost resentful to go find food, HA!

Anyway when I have more time I will talk more about how I have been feeling lately...

But yes other than that one piece of pie, ive been righ ton target with food.
 
Im glad you are doing better Claud and feeling better:) With how you are doing:)!
