Let's record what we're eating to help each other

Well done Ksmom! You are doing really well

Todau so far I have had 2 coffees with sweetener and splash of milk, two slices of white toast with lightest Philly and strawberry jam, one mini brioche bun and I had half a fruit scone with some full fat butter (I had it buttered for the kids but they didn't want the full scone, hence why I had half - it was delish!) Cals are 616 thus far, fat 18g, protein 19g. And DH wants to get a takeout for dinner. Haven't had anything like takeout in over two weeks so I am having a cheat. I will have a no fat yoghurt and a peeled apple later to cover me on protein and minimal calories but with the takeout I will have no probs fulfilling fat!!! Story of my life lol!!

I'm having cheese pizza and brownies at dinner tonight. It's still within my limits though! I purposely had a measly lunch to allot for it. I know chocolate isn't the best thing on the LE diet but chocolate is my weakness and I hardly eat it these days anyway. I'm having a big iceberg lettuce salad to go with dinner. That will make up for all pizza and dessert, right?

Cd 1 today ladies. 2000 calorie day, starting over tomorrow. Im yoyoing on this diet now. It's almost 2 weeks on/2 weeks off. Not that the off weeks are terrible, just not as strict as I'd like to be.

Calories 1503 less 390 cardio = 1113
Fat 57g
Protein 42g

Ok so considering I had just under 300g of deep fried chips and a big, should-be-banned hotdog for my takeout I think I did pretty well. Kept within the upper limits of fat, protein still not as high as it couple be but calories are great. And cardio!
Having a cheat meal once every fortnight or so is definitely the way to go for me!!

Hitme hugs hun x I really hope this cycle is yours. Are you still under time constraints hun?

[ksmom]

Hitme, I'm sorry you're having a hard time. The diet can be so hard but don't feel so bad, any change in diet helps! Atomic says that even if you reduce your protein and fat from what it was before, it's still helping to sway.

Somehow I managed to not eat the whole pizza at dinner! lol I purposely put half of it away so I wouldn't be tempted then shared the remaining half with DS2. I still had some cals leftover even after the pizza and brownies so I had some hard candies and now I'm having a vodka with seltzer. Totals for the day: 1400 cals, 31g fat, 29g protein.

Well done Ksmom, that was good going!! DH was shocked that I cleared my plate, normally I pick at a bit and end up dumping a lot of food cause I graze so much but lately since starting LE I am hungry enough to finish meals. Makes me feel good about my sway seeing such a big change.

I weighed myself again this morning. I have been 125-126 wavering between the two for weeks, possibly months. I took up cardio 2 weeks ago and still no drop in weight. Was happy enough to maintain and drop cals if I need to lose a lb or two closer to attempting. But my weight dropped yesterday morning to 122.6 and its the same again this morning. I had DH weigh himself just to make sure it's not the scales lol. Just wondering do you think I should be eating the higher level of fat to maintain my weight cause I really don't want to drop much more, if any. I am 5'6 so my BMI is about 19.8 now. It was 22.7 for the last decade. Any thoughts or advice much appreciated!

I wish I would've weight myself before. Know I have list from how clothes fit. 140 and 5'8. Low as I like to be. Just got blood work back and my vit d is low doc is rxibg high dose for 6 weeks then down to reg otc. Now I'm stuck deciding if I wait since attempt should be in about a week. I know my vit d has been low for all my boys because that when I moved north and started driving vs living in sunny southern state no car and walking everywhere. Plus a giant headache hit me yesterday and is still lingering. I'm feeling pretty funky. I need + opk soon

Hopper, I had the same problem of losing too much weight (my BMI is 17.2!) and Atomic said to bump up my cals a bit. So far I'm maintaining my weight. I'd suggest eating an extra 100 cals (empty cals preferable). If that doesn't work then you may need to either increase fat or protein a bit or drop exercise, but I'd ask Atomic before going that route.

Hopper I'm the same, Bmi 19 and don't really want to drop too much more, ppl are definitely noticing my weight lose. I am enjoying the added bonus of being lighter through this sway though, probably wouldn't have been motivated otherwise! Going away for a week, will be hard to stick to the diet as we r visiting family. My attempt was planned this week, not sure if a should postpone or not
