Taking Control 2

Stacey · 04-08-2004, 10:00 AM

Thats what I do--- eat healthy for life--not diet!! I think you will do wonderful Jill!

greekblondechic · 04-08-2004, 10:03 AM

Woohoo Jilly! I'm happy for you sweetie! thats cool that Fitgirl is gonna be on my twin's ass as well!

Sapphire · 04-08-2004, 01:12 PM

Hi Jillybean!

Sounds like you had a great consultation with your trainer!! I am definitely interested in seeing your diet! Good luck you gorgeous woman you!!

Fitgirl70 · 04-08-2004, 01:17 PM

I think me, greeky and jill need to start a little competition journal for the three of us.....hmmmm

<<and the wheels are turning>>>

jstar · 04-08-2004, 05:37 PM

Wow Jill, you are like a new woman! I am so excited for you. This nutrition plan (noticed I didn't use the "d" word) sounds like it will be really good for you - higher carbs, lower fat and moer food options. You are not bad at all at 21.7%, you are well on your way girly! I am so proud of you!

So how often are you gonna meet Donna? Why does she want you to weigh in daily? I am not following that reasoning because I know the scale is EVIL.

JLB001 · 04-08-2004, 05:51 PM

Jillie! You should do awesome with this new plan! Can't wait to follow along.

Jill · 04-08-2004, 05:53 PM

J-star dispite what everyone here says the scale I now believe is good. That is the way the trainers will track my progess. A very gifted women will gain only 1/2 pound a muscle a month. So when people say, 'oh your weights going up, its probably just muscle, ' its probably REALLY just fat. If I continue on their program I will be communicating with them through e-mail. Daily weigh ins I dont believe are necessary-only every 2-3 days.

Jill · 04-08-2004, 05:53 PM

Jodie-do you think 2100 cals is high??? Its all clean food though.

JLB001 · 04-08-2004, 05:56 PM

I would say try it and see how you do. Give it a few weeks, if you see no changes, then contact your advisor and let them know your concerns. It can always be modified, but don't do that without talking with Donna first.

JLB001 · 04-08-2004, 05:58 PM

My trainer does track my bodyfat every two weeks, so I kinda find it hard to believe that on average you can only gain 1/2 pound of muscle per month. but that is just my opinion. I've been using the same person for two years, and know I have gained more than 1/2 pound per month. I think alot has to do with diet and how a person trains.

atherjen · 04-08-2004, 06:21 PM

JIllybean your new attitude rocks!!!

I have no doubt that you will reach your goals! it sounds like you defintly have a great handle on things with the trainers helping you closely like that.
2100cals isnt that much hun, stick with it until it doesnt work and like Jodie said dont you change anything until you consult with your trainers!
life's about being happy, and thats what you deserve, no stressful diets n stuff!

hows the weather out west??
still anyword on Mexico?

Jill · 04-08-2004, 06:49 PM

Hey girls

Jodie-I believe everybodies bodys are diff too-thats the one thing about the trainers, even my girlfriend said, they are bery set in their ways. 2100 cals is alot-1 meal had 8oz of chix, I only had 7....8 was way too much!!

Thanks for your support AJ and Jodie, it really means alot. No word on mexico-If we decide 4 sure to build this new house I doubt I will go on a trip. Im cleaning house today and my calves are soooooo sore, i've went up and down the stairs atleast 20x. Im almost in tears each time-I take 1 stair at a time like a little kid would!

**Jodi** · 04-08-2004, 06:53 PM

Good luck with your new plan Jill. I'm happy to see some new motivation in you.

I do agree with Jodie though on the muscle gain as I too have gained more than 1/2lb a month.

I do have 1 question though, is there a reason they don't have any EFA's in your diet?

greekblondechic · 04-08-2004, 06:53 PM

Yay Jilly is out to play!!!!!!!

Jill · 04-08-2004, 07:00 PM

Im supposed to be cleaning the bathrooms Greeky!

Jodi-I am excited and motivated, I just have to stick to this to see results. I think they are really against added fats. I'll find out. Lucky me-my gf was on the same plan as me last year, so Ill just ask her. She lost A LOT of pounds on this same type of plan.

greekblondechic · 04-08-2004, 07:30 PM

I wish there was a machine u could hook up to your body and it tells you EXACTLY what YOU need to do to lose fat! Also a built in calorie counter for what you ate that day, and also for stuff you are thinking about eating LOL

sara · 04-08-2004, 07:37 PM

greeky, I'm pretty sure they will invent something similar soon

Jill · 04-09-2004, 12:53 PM

Is it just me or does 8oz of meat/protein at a meal seem like a lot?

JLB001 · 04-09-2004, 12:56 PM

It's alot. Usually more than one chicken boobie. Craig eats 8oz.

sara · 04-09-2004, 12:57 PM

Jill- the protein in you'r new diet is not balanced in every meal.. in one meal you would have over 30 grams of protein and the other meal you would have less than 20.. is this how they planned it out for you?

sara · 04-09-2004, 12:58 PM

where you get the diet yogurt? is it just a low fat yogurt?
How much 2 oz. oats? is it 2/3 cup?

Jill · 04-09-2004, 01:03 PM

The plan is not balanced, I dont ever think i said that, but I know it isnt. Im supposed to be at about a 40/60 split, but some meals being so high in protein Im probably more like 50/50. I dont know how they come up with the numbers. Safeway makes 'diet' yogurt, sweetened with aspertame. It is sooooooo yummy. 2oz oats is about 1/2 cup Sara.

sara · 04-09-2004, 01:08 PM

It's about calories and daily total, not freaking out on each meal need to have certain amount of protein.. like now you can have just an apple and some cheese or PB in one meal

the yogurt is sugar free ? just made with aspertame? what's the name of the yogurt?

sara · 04-09-2004, 01:10 PM

Jill- are you counting the protein/fat/carb ratio in each meal? or just the daily total?

JLB001 · 04-09-2004, 01:15 PM

Jillie...your not suppose to be counting. stop trying to figure out the numbers. Just try it and see how you do. Then, if it does not work, have Donna modify it for you. please........

Jill · 04-09-2004, 01:15 PM

Sara, I think the plan is more like 3 Bigger meals, and 3 snacks. Im just couting cals, the have a pre-made list of foods / portions with the cals next to them. I am just counting calories in each meal-kinda annoying.

The yogurt is "safeway" brand, made by lucerne. It has carbs and protein, no fat or sugar. Sweetened with aspertame.

Im already sorta modifying it. I just cant see paying some one $65 to say, ya you can drop an oz of meat in meal 4-I can only eat so much. I will be talking to my gf who did the same sort of plan, and get her opinion.

sara · 04-09-2004, 01:20 PM

do you count the calories from veggies?

I'll have to look for this yogurt

JLB001 · 04-09-2004, 01:24 PM

Jillie....do not modify that diet. You paid someone to prepare it for you. TRY IT as it is! I mean if you wanted to do it on your own, you would not have seeked out someone else's help and forked over the $$ to do so. I mean it's your money....I'm sure they will be more than happy to take it from you, but your not gonna see the results you want by always jacking with it. LEAVE IT ALONE!
