Thread: Vickie's 2007 Journal

Vickie - The Curves plan sounds like it's just right for you! Hope you lose weight! I think you will! Have a great day!

Hey Rob....yes, it seems to be the thing for me...at least right now anyway. I don't know what it is about me that makes it so much easier for me if I have a "blueprint" to follow. For some reason, knowing that i need to have X number of calories, X number of fat grams....etc. Just forces me to account for every bite that goes into my mouth. I have entered every single morsal of food that passes through these lips into fitday for this past week and it is shocking how quickly things add up. The most difficult thing for me to get used to is that i am eating something every couple of hours. I have this secret fear that i will step on the scale on Monday and see a big weight gain because i am constantly eating. i really hope that fear is unfounded!



So...my totals for yesterday are as follows...

1346 calories
91 carbs/15 fiber/76 net carbs
169 gms protein
34 gms fat

I am still in the process of adjusting my numbers to fit my lifestyle. I am a little high on protein and a little low on fats...but overall I am pretty happy with my numbers so far.

Stopped by to see you with my cup of coffee Vickie. Good luck on your new plan. I am certain you will do well with all the accountability! Have a great Sunday

Hey Rhonda....I posted a reply in your journal...happy Sunday my friend

So...it's the 7th day COMPLETELY on plan for me!!! My first week weigh in is tomorrow and I am anxious to see how I've done.

Vickie, you can do it my friend I hope you are pleasantly surprised with your weigh-in tomorrow. I have missed you and thank you so much for stopping by my journal Have a great week with Vern!

Thanks Rhonda....I do hope my weigh in is a good one. I really don't care about having a "big" loss...but I would like confirmation that I am heading in the right direction with this plan.

I just finished preparing my food for tomorrow so that I can just get up in the morning and head out to curves after my coffee....gotta have the coffee

It's funny...I feel like I really ate ALOT today but my numbers are actually lower than they have been. I was in the mood for comfort food so I made Chicken Adobo for a late lunch/early dinner. I haven't made it in a while and it's alslo one of Verns' favorites...I'm glad I made it. It hit the spot. This time I was able to have it over some brown rice which was a real treat for me.


ok...so my numbers for today:

1144 calories
114 carbs/16 fiber/98 net carbs
87 gms protein
40 gms fat


Tomorrow's my big weigh in day...i have been 100% on plan for 7 straight days....whooo hooo...it feels nice after being so out of control over the past couple of months!

I weighed in this morning...I lost 4.6 lbs

WooHoo! WTG! I'm glad this is working for you, Vickie.

Thanks Nita..I'm pretty thrilled

CONGRATULATIONS VICKIE!!!! I knew you could do it GF

Thanks Rhonda...I am really happy to have lost this week. The plan just seems like so much food but apparently it's working. Thanks for stopping in and sharing in my success.
