Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

Kathy, sounds like we are sleeved twins, lol.

[Peekboo 472]

Kath, we can share notes on what the nutritionist shares. My appointment is Thursday morning.

[Vsglady 142]

Just wanted to thank you guys for your advice and support during the past week. I ended up using the prune juice and it worked really well. Really, really, really well....

Wishing a happy week.

[Vsglady 142]

Meant to say wishing everyone a happy week.

I hope not too well. Milk of magnesia works too well for me, then I have the opposite problem.

[Vsglady 142]

@@shmeyers um yeah toooo well. But at that point it was an on going explosion of happiness. Ok a mess of happiness. Along with a promise to myself to go back to Phase 3 mushiness for a few more days.

Too funny ladies

[Kathy812 794]

@@peek yes, let's definitely share notes. I'm 51, I wonder if age may have something to do with slow weight loss. Anyway, we'll figure it out.

@@Vsglady, that literally made me laugh out loud. Glad the prune juice worked.

[Peekboo 472]

Kathy, I just turned 50 a week ago! Hopefully age doesn't make too much difference.

Kathy and Peek, what's a typical day of food for you? I can't even imagine how to up calories at this point!

[Peekboo 472]

Stephh, my diary should be available on mfp but I typically eat around 800 calories a day. Yogurt or scramble egg with cheese in the morning, a Protein Drink with skim milk anout 10am. lunch is usually tuna in oil and 2 triskets, beef Jerky for snacl, 1 oz, 4 oz of stewed chicken for dinner. Yikes, I feel like a piggy, lol. My day starts at 430am so its easy to get in my calories.

[AgentShepard 88]

Just adding in, I average about 900 calories a day at this point but it varies between 800 and 1100. Of course I am 5'8" so my needs are different than more petite ladies! I am generally doing one Protein shake a day and getting the rest from food. I avoid added sugars but I am not going out of my way to do low fat - I figure, fat doesn't make me ill, so as long as I'm meeting goals for Protein and sugars, I'm not going to worry about it. There are only so many things I can count at a time, you know?

[Peekboo 472]

I agree that counting everything is a job :-)

[Kathy812 794]

@@stephh, I agree, I Don't want to up it, but I have to try something to break the stall. I try a variety of foods, my husband loves to cook. But for the most part. my menu is as follows:

Breakfast: low sugar oatmeal w/1 tbs PB2 OR 1 cottage cheese pancake w/1 Breakfast sausage. ( I almost all ways have one of these).

Snack: pepperoni slices(5) w/ string cheese or just string cheese. MOST days I skip the morning snack.< /p>

Lunch: Whatever meat we had for dinner (chicken,meatballs,turkey)

w/small amount of veggies

Mid afternoon snack: either Protein Shake, Jerky , almonds or half a Quest bar.

Tonight I had talapia (half a filet) a few roasted veggies & a thin slice of Avacado. The last few nights I had stuffed peppers without rice, I substituted refried Beans, sounds strange but it was really good w/ ground beef and cheese. I ate that for three days!

[Peekboo 472]

Kathy, that looks good :-) making me hungry, lol.
