Red Hot MaMa society..how much have you lost? 46.2 pounds so far!

[TigerLilly]

Ok, I am giving up soda--farewell, my beloved Mt Dew...I shall hold our good times forever in my heart...
I have been on the treadmill, watching what i eat (not while i was on the treadmill, that would just be wrong)...
busted my butt at work (lots of walking, some running, but on my feet in some form or fashion for the bulk of 12 hours...
AND I GAINED 2 LBS?! what the heck???
I know muscle weighs more than fat, but i'm not feeling any loss in my clothes...
Time to regroup


Little by little the weight will come off! :bun

Thanks--I needed that!

So how is everyone else doing? Don't be afraid/ashamed to admit that you have had the same problems I'm having...misery loves company!
Dont be afraid to brag a little on your losses--it works wonders for incentive.
On a good note, I did lose a whopping SIX OUNCES! I think I gotta stop weighing myself every day.
Hoping to hear that some of you others are having better luck than I am--dont be shy about giving away some of your weight loss secrets.
Speaking of which, one of mine is edamame, a soy nut. Unfortunately, I havent been able to find them recently...filling, fiber & protein. Love 'em

X2--GREAT JOB!
So what are you doing to lose the weight?

 

[WildRoseBeef]

I keep away from any fatty stuff. I've had to do that from August until the middle of December because I had gall stones really bad. So I had to be on a fat-free diet, which means no butter/margarine, no vegetable oils, no dairy products (milk, ice cream, cheese, yogurt, etc) and no junk food, candies, chocolate or cookies. I couldn't even have beef or pork meats, but I could have chicken, turkey and bison meat. My diet mainly consisted of fruits, vegetables, rice, potatoes if I felt like it, chicken, pasta, and salad with no dressing. So in a matter of four months, I dropped from a whopping 190 lbs all the way down to 160. After my gall bladder surgery where the good docs removed my gall bladder, I could eat more, but I still try to stay away from the fatty stuff as much as possible. I mean I don't completely boycott it, but I just have less of it than I had before I was diagnosed with gall stones. Of course at Christmas time.... But even then I never went over 170. I've been able to get myself back down in between 165 and 163, and and am trying to get a little lower. It would be nice if I could drop another 20 lbs, as I still have a bit of a spare tire still. But it's great that my pants are all a bit loose on me.

I haven't exercised much during that time, but I do know if I light a fire under my butt and get on the treadmill more often, I'll be loosing more more quickly.
