I totally agree with Jenny! weight watchers really isnt the answer hun! Keep you head up! I think that you need more fats too.. healthy ones of course-this is a big thing that really helps me, I could NEVER go low fat! maybe try adding some in for a while and see if that helps.

and hopefully that extra dose of leptigen will make a difference!

Have a super day!!

 

[Cate]

Thanks girls...I needed that!

Jenny - I got skinny/fat on WW, so I know I want to be better! I want to be tonned and strong

Jen - How much fat should I try and get? I track on fitday. I am trying the extra dose of leptigen to see if that helps!

I lifted today....so I feel better. But, I stepped on the stupid scale ....dumb I know after I ate tons of pistachos last night!

 

[Jill]

I prefer to step on the scale in the am, when it is usually less. My hon always likes to weigh himself before he goes to bed, when its always more!

 

[Cate]

Oh it was the AM Jill...but I"m holding a TON of water due to all the salt last night

 

[atherjen]

ohh dear..stay off that scale! they are evil sometimes and not a good judge of anything really!

aim for at least 40g fat. see how that goes.

 

[Jill]

After a binge a few weeks ago my weight was up 9 pounds!

4/22

Total: 1535
Fat: 29 263 19%
Carbs: 230 768 54%
Protein: 95 378 27%

My protein is still to low, but the cals are at least under control

I've been eating some junk food lately, lf ice cream, baked lays....I need to work on cleaning it up for these next few weeks.

I am going home this weekend....lots of eating out, so I will do my best , but I will hit the gym on Sat!

 

[Cate]

Oh yea....tomorrow marks 7 weeks I need to kick it into gear. Any advice??? I need results!!!

 

[Jenny]

Some advice? Dump the junk, the baked lays and the lf ice cream. Go for natural foods and whole grain. Lower the carbs and up the protein
To tell you the truth, your meals are skimpy You need some more protein in there! What about an eggwhite/1 yolk omelette in the morning? And what happened to your whey?

 

[atherjen]

ahhh no worries Cate- plenty of help here for you! you'll be in the shape you want to for your wedding!!!
I agree with Jenny- try cutting back on the carbs and increasing the protein- and no more lil bad snacks! those add up fast!

 

[Cate]

Thanks girls!!! That is what I needed. I am cutting out all junk during the week and allowing a treat on Sat, my day off. I will start today, eat more eggs and my protein powder. I need to plan better!!!

I am off for the weekend soon....get to see my dress (haven't seen it since Nov)!!! My Mom has it and my first fitting is tomorrow. Maybe I will post pics.

I will do my best this weekend. We are eating out twice, but I know tonight is a seafood place, so that will be easy

Will try and pop on if I can....keep kicking my butt girls I need to be ready!!!

[Cate]

Hey David - how are things?

Jenny - that is what my Mom says!!!

 

[david]

Hey Cate

It's getting really hot down here in Florida and it's not even July yet. I went to the beach hoping the water would be warm/hot but not yet.... It's still cool/cold and it takes time to get used to it. The waves were nutty and if you're not paying attention, more than likely you'll have your face down in the sand if not careful! Otherwise, life is pretty good!

I forgot to mention that I almost drowned in St. John's when I went there 3 years ago. 8 ft. waves not counting the underside! Then, the next day, it was gorgeous and went snorkeling!

 

[Cate]

Only 7 more weeks from last Friday and I will be on the beach

Food has been OK today, but I'm craving carbs. I think I need to revamp my plan. I've started running again, so I needs my carbs!

But...no junk food!!!

 

[greekblondechic]

I can't wait to see you in your dress!

Remember you can eat CLEAN carbs, like oaties, sweet potatoes, and brown rice

You'll have sucha blast... lotsa of romance... memorable laughs and more of a blast!!!

 

[Cate]

Dress up? Absolutely NOT!!! Khaki shorts and pants and T-shirt or casual button shirt are fine depending on where you're eating.

Of course, where "anything" on the beach of course.

As for women, Sundress, khaki or slacks are fine but never nothing ridiculous dressy. You can if you want to though!

I can't wait to see pics so I can bring back good ol' memories!

Oh, Cate, on my web site in the "Author Section", you'll see the view we had that overlooks Cinnamon bay. It didn't look like a nice day but it was. Strangely enough.
