Here are some of the things I have changed which have helped me to lose some weight. B/c I can't bring my own lunch (I'm a lawyer and I spend all morning in court and my food would go bad if I brought it with me) I have to rely on outside food. Not the healthiest choice but I have no other. So I usually eat salad from the Pizzeria. Well they put a balsalmic vinagrette dressing on their salads. I used to order it on the side b/c they literally drench the salad in the dressing. Well one day I decided to ask how many calories were in their dressing. It turns out there is 120 calories per 2 tablespoons! OMG I almost passed out! No wonder I wasn't really losing much. So I went to the supermarket and bought my own fat free dressing that is 15 calories per 2 tablespoons and now I order the salad plain and put my own dressing. It helped me lose a lot of weight this week. Also instead of regular sushi rolls I eat brown rice ones now. I don't eat any white rice or white bread. Only brown rice and whole wheat bread. And I learned to portion my meals better. Protein the size of the palm of your hand and 1/2 a cup of cooked rice per meal. I try to eat starches only once a day. I exercise 5 times a week. 1 hour of cardio, no weights.

so proud of you...miss glenda i am coming to new york april 7-8-9 we are going to redken on 5th ave to the school......if you have any favorite restaurants keep me posted..again sweetie congrats ....

I love brown rice sushi. So yummy! Great job Glenda!

 

I lost .8 this week. Woo hoo! It's a loss! I feel like I should've gained though, so I'll have to work extra hard this week to keep next week's numbers down.

 

Keep working hard ladies!!

I lost 3.5 pounds this week, and am so excited! I didn't think I was going to lose at all thanks to pigging out on Easter, but I did go for a run on Sunday and a couple walks during the week. Everyone is doing such a great job!

OMG! I'm so glad you figured out the problem! I swear if that happened to me, I would have been at the bowl of easter candy devouring it for breakfast, I would have been so upset with myself! I'm so happy that you re-checked it!

You know, when I talked to you this morning I was going to ask you what your secret is because you are doing SO GOOD!! I'm so proud of you too, that's such a great loss and you have to be starting to feel so much better! I've been really bad about exercising and I know I would have a bigger loss if I got my butt off the couch! Congratulations on your loss!

Whew - that is a relief compared to 6.4 although i never like gaining i am relieved. Ann - i am sending you over a new pic now
