Linda O'Brien started the topic A Little Psychological "Trick" I play on myself in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 2 months ago
Now you might think this is silly but….when I log in my weight on my fit bit, I use the previous day’s weight even if I am down like 0.4 or whatever. In other words, I log it a bit higher, to a previous weight. Why? Well, I find that helpful for when I do gain 0.4 or something! When I gain back, it is depressing. I don’t seem to mind staying…[Read more]

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic Starting Week 3-results so far in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 2 months ago
Yes, after 3 weeks, down a good 6 pounds or perhaps a little more. Weigh in at Curves this weekend and then we can see about measurements.
I needed to lose 15-20 pounds. But, see, I am only 5 feet tall so that amount of weight lost will really show on me. Already down at least a half size for my jeans. -
Linda O'Brien started the topic Salsa! and Salad Dressings in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share with you my new ‘go to’ salad dressing and spicer upper: Salsa! Right now I have really taken a liking to Salsa Verde–the green one. No fat. 1 gm of sugar in 2 tbsp. And 10 calories. It does have 200mg sodium which is not the best but a tablespoon (100gm sodium) on my salad or on my veggies really picks up the…[Read more] -
Linda O'Brien replied to the topic Family not onboard in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 2 months ago
Finishing week 3 now. Down 6 pounds and while not as exciting as the loss some others are experiencing, I am already into some of my old clothes and feeling better. 2 pounds a week…well, by spring I will be near my goal! Anyway, about the hubby. So I have my protein and veggies, perhaps a big salad for supper. Hubby will have that along…[Read more]

Anyone else having difficulty eating 4 veggies a day? I am. Can add an extra fruit but vegetables were never my strong point.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic Week Two Slow Down in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 3 months ago
My week two is slow as well. Showed a gain of half a pound, now down .4 but not where the week started! But am continuing on. Going to do this thing. Meanwhile, my husband bought himself a pie and will proceed to eat the WHOLE thing!

Because of this posting, I did check the ingredients on the cottage cheese–yes, big difference between store brand and Daisy which is the one I bought.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic STUCK!!! in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 3 months ago
My second week and trying to follow the meal plan and I have a regular exercise routine but I was up half a pound yesterday and still there today. 🙁 Will hang on but the temptation for a handful of chips or some of the cookies and other things my husband has laying around is there.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic Finished first week in the forum Newcomers Start Here 8 years, 3 months ago
First week: 4 pounds lighter! I will be happy with even small losses per week because over time my goal will be reached and these are STUBBORN pounds!
Am concerned a bit because in a month I will be out of the country for 2 weeks and staying with hosts and so forth; hope to not gain back!

I go to Curves three times a week when I can and walk to a goal pretty much every day that is charted on my Fit Bit.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic DAY ONE in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 3 months ago
I wish my husband would not buy potato chips! He is a junk food junkie and all kinds of no-nos are in the house. If I had my way, there would not be temptation all around. So far, so good, except for 2 slices of bacon on Sunday….made by my husband of course. Sigh. Today I have to confess I had an extra fruit and 1 less veg…because the…[Read more]

Someone suggested to sprinkle cinnamon on cottage cheese. I never would have thought of that! But you know what, it is really good. Try it.

Does it matter when you take the drops or is it just to be without food or water for 15 minutes before and after?

Linda O'Brien started the topic Fit Bit Buddies anyone? in the forum Motivation 8 years, 3 months ago
Anyone here with a Fit Bit interested in being a buddy? I find it helps with motivation. I also record all my steps, calories, weight loss, etc. on it. When I see the goals in front of me, it really helps. Have lowered my resting heart rate a bunch.

I have a different protein powder but will try Qwest next time which seems to be the most favored.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic Just joined in the forum Newcomers Start Here 8 years, 3 months ago
I can hardly wait to wear clothes I have set aside as they were too tight! Don’t need to keep shopping for larger sizes either. Looking forward to not having to wear loose fitting or disguising clothes but rather not minding how I look. And to have my blouses fit again!

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic A little something for me in the forum Newcomers Start Here 8 years, 3 months ago
Also at day 5. No sugar cravings but kind of snack craving….just had some carrots for that. Noticed a couple cf tiny headaches but Tylenol took care of it and maybe just a bit more tired than usual. Nothing major as I motor on through my first detox week.

Linda O'Brien replied to the topic DAY ONE in the forum Phase 1 8 years, 3 months ago
I hope Day One can also be Week One! So, last week I was kind of down and glutted out on Sunday, up 2 pounds Monday which was Day One but I am actually tracking from Day 2. From Day One, I am down 5 pounds on this Day Five! I am now where I started with Weight Watchers years ago! Same 15 or so pounds to lose….again!
I just hope I don’t…[Read more]

Can you apply Karma Coins to a purchase before you have the full amount for the purchase?

I tried that cottage cheese sprinkled with cinnamon and really liked it! Never would have thought of that on my own!
