Beth started the topic Beth's week August 6-12 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

My goal for this week is to get back in the gym … 2 days cardio for an hour, 2 days cardio+weights and 1 day zumba. I will also do 3 Pilate’s workouts and get 5 days over 10000 steps.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>So reflecting back on last week, I would say that I met my goals for the most part. I did treat myself a few more bites and tonnes than planned, but still kept it together. I feel good about that for a week away.</p>

Maria A started the topic NOLA OAC convention in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago

I just want to let everyone going to the NOLA convention this year that I hope you have a wonderful time and safe travels!!! My husband and I LOVE NOLA and try to make it there at least once a year. Unfortunately I am unable to go next week since my knee replacement was only done 2 months ago and the streets/sidewalks aren’t always level there.…[Read more]

Maria A started the topic Maria's plan 8/6 – 8/12 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

My mini-pledge this week is to continue working on slowing down my eating and with my discovery last week I also will work on taking way smaller bites and chewing more with these bites, especially meats and poultry.

Grocery shopping was completed this morning and meals planned.

Breakfast – Caramelized Onion Quiche (from Nikki’s breakfast…[Read more]

Way to go Nikki!!!

Nikki Massie started the topic August 6 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 3 months ago

Sunday fun day?

I dunno. But I don’t have a ton planned. I went to the farmers market to get pickling cucumbers because I have a bunch of dill I refuse to let go bad! I also got some tomatoes for salsa (because I have cilantro I refuse to let go bad) and I fell in love with a bushel of not-quite-ripe peaches (which hopefully means they’ll be…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic I wore a bikini top…outside! in the forum Non-Scale Victories 7 years, 3 months ago

I bought a bikini eons ago (pre-mastectomy) and yesterday finally decided to put the dang thing on. And it looked good! I thought. I just wore the top + cut-offs and set about doing some stuff around the house, including checking on my garden, but I didn’t put anything on top of the bikini top to go out there. I was just brave and did it!

There…[Read more]

Sorry! Late to the party.

I had the same issue, Ruth. I did Body Pump at 5:45 a.m. and I couldn’t convince my stomach to accept anything but maybe water before then. Problem was I would also conk out at the class because my last meal was in the middle of the evening before!

My dietitian told me if I absolutely could not eat before a workout, to…[Read more]

The rambling book is good – for you (to let it out) and for us (to understand where you’re coming from!).

I like your carb plan. I think the starches just don’t agree with you but I bet you’ll do great with veggies and some fruit.

KathyP started the topic Kathy's Plan week of Aug 6th in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

Work on that 64 oz to be DECAF.
Bring lunch to work at least 1 day. (eat in!) [keep bringing in the snacks every day, though]

My weekly “bite-size goals” from Good Measures:

-Drink 64oz of water every day
-Continue to log foods in the platform

And I’d like to get to the gym and/or take a walk this week. My back is hurting in a different…[Read more]

KathyP replied to the topic Kathy's week of July 30 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

I’m doing OK. Didn’t hit the full water goal every day. I got the liquids, but too much was caffeinated in my book. Funny how I left off the “log food every day with Good Measures” because I was scared of it, and I actually did that one instead. LOL.

I guess I don’t know my own abilities as well as I thought I did.

KathyP replied to the topic Breakfast – yes or no? in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 3 months ago

How do you not eat first thing? OMG.

I was trained that you need to kick start the metabolism and especially with a pouch need to keep feeding it in small doses. If the supplements are making it unhappy, is there a compromise with the time you take them instead of skipping breakfast?

I do a Quest Bar on the way to work. I tried the shakes, but…[Read more]

Robin Miller started the topic Reported in in the forum August 2017: The FNC "Mini-Pledge!" 7 years, 3 months ago

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve reported back in on last week’s weekly plan and put a new pledge on this week’s plan.

Robin Miller started the topic Robin's Week of August 6-12 (and mini pledge) in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

I haven’t given up on adding more complex carbs to my food plan despite last week’s weight jump. (darn those grains!). This week’s pledge is a repeat of last week’s pledge. However, I’m avoiding grains and am going to try out things such as adding winter squash (butternut, possibly acorn although I haven’t seen acorn in the stores yet.), more…[Read more]

Robin Miller replied to the topic Robin's Week of July 30 August 5 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

Reporting in on week 1.

Yes, Nikki, grains are gone again. In my enthusiasm to add carbs back in, I forgot about that nasty little reason of huge weight gains when I eat them. But I’m not giving up! See this week’s pledge!

baylorbev started the topic Bev's Mini-Pledge Week 2 – August 6 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

I am giving myself three goals to achieve this week since we leave on vacation Tuesday evening. My first goal is to walk at least a mile everyday we are gone, the second goal is to make healthy food choices and not overeat and finally to continue to drink and get my fluid intake in EVERY day!!! I believe that these goals on vacation are re…[Read more]

baylorbev replied to the topic Bev's Week – July 31st in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago

I did track my food in My Bariatric Pal this week. The beginning of the week and end of the week I was much better posting than during the middle of the week. Several days I didn’t post until the end of the day but finally got that corrected and posted as I went along. Nikki I was definitely more forward thinking and did a much better job of…[Read more]

baylorbev replied to the topic Breakfast – yes or no? in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 3 months ago

I also have coffee and then breakfast but I usually have a protein shake and it usually takes me between 20 & 30 minutes to drink. I take my vitamins after I eat or else I get nauseous. I can’t do them on an empty stomach. 🙂
