MMM Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I started (in November) by following the Diet Center program, and am now just not eating much - yogurt & fruit for breakfast, usually Slimfast for lunch, fruit & almonds & carrots for snack, then a light dinner (lean protein & lots of veggies, maybe a little carb). At the beginning I cut out all alcohol and now allow myself some wine when we have company or go out. That's been hard, but I have saved a lot of money (as well as calories)!

MMM Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Week 4 - Well, this was a 1lb. week - 11lbs. to go. But, oh my, Gerard Pangaud Dinner coming up on Saturday. Guess the only thing to do is eat, drink and be merry, and not worry about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Week 5 - The Wages of Sin (Gerard Pangaud Dinner & Super Bowl Pulled Pork Barbecue Party) caught up with me! Gained 1 1/2 lbs pounds back. Drat! 12 1/2 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only the second person to get to 50% of their goal and only six weeks in at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks for the encouraging words. Of course I'm pretty certain that I'll backslide next week (cold weather, house guests, etc), but will keep plugging along whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Backslide I did. Gained 3 lbs. Too much entertaining = too much wine and there goes some self-control, etc., etc. Oh well. Now, I'm leaving today for 2 weeks in Portugal to visit my daughter (with new baby and 2 darling little girls). At least they live in a 3rd floor walkup, so there'll be lots of built in exercise. Just have to be careful of the great bread and fabulous cheeses, not to mention the pastries. Thank goodness for grilled fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just got back from Portugal ready to get back to being serious about this diet business. Surprisingly, I find I lost 1 or 2 lbs. while away (despite the wine and cheese and bread!). Am now 7 lbs. down, 10 lbs. to go. February was just a difficult month!

jm chen Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just got back from Portugal ready to get back to being serious about this diet business. Surprisingly, I find I lost 1 or 2 lbs. while away (despite the wine and cheese and bread!). I always think I'm going to gain weight on vacation, but have results like this more often than not -- maybe indulging in the bread and cheese fills you up so you're eating less overall? Did you do a lot of walking? Did that third-floor walkup really help? In any case, congratulations, and best of luck rededicating yourself to the diet!

MMM Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Weighed in this morning with a 1lb loss = 8lbs lost, 9lbs to go. Not getting any easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMM Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I feel like I've been "vacationing" from this diet - swinging back and forth between eating and drinking more than I should, and then toeing the line for a few days. Am now trying out drinking wine only on weekends or when we have guests and sticking to very moderate eating. Also getting myself off to the gym 3 days a week and walking more. Nice weather sure helps! That said, I finally got back on the scale this morning and found I'd lost a bit which is SO encouraging. 9 lbs. lost, 8 to go.
