Good luck with the weigh in, Shell!
I'm reporting early today since I am probably leaving early. Happy Easter, all - and I will be back Monday
breakfast - cream of wheat w/soy milk and raisins, OJ w/ fiber, mint tea (354) snack - apple (81), UFO beverage (155) lunch - PB&J on WW (312) snack - i may have some baby carrots (68) dinner - plan to get a sub or something since my fridge is bare! (~500) dessert - hopefully I can resist!
excercise - 20 min on elliptical w/5 min each walking warm up and cool down. Crunches and ball excercises. Burn about 200 cal.
Total food cals ~1500-200=1300 seems a little low so maybe I will let myself have dessert!

I had a lovely day today. We had a lazy morning in, went to lots of garden centres and finally found something to make our raised beds for the vegetable patch with. We then took Lucy for a nice evening walk where she made a new friend about her age and they had a long play together.
B - crumpet and marmite (my favourite) L - mushroom soup and an english muffin D - Pasta and homemade tomato and vegetable sauce
Snacks - 1 biscuit (yes only 1) and some sweets (bad catherine - they always make me feel ill).
Exercise - Walked dog and dug veggie patch

Breakfast: Rice Krispies with chocolate soy milk
Lunch: small roll with tuna, corn, mayo, tomato
Dinner: YUMMY salmon with lemon and parsley sauce (I'll post the recipe) brown rice, leeks and tomatoes in balsamic vinegar
Snacks: Luna Bar; UFO- Mars chocolate egg
Water: 80oz
Activities: Went to gym- 10 mins fast rowing, 20 mins tough program on bike, did 8km (5 miles); treadmill walked at 5.5 km/ for 15 mins; walked a lot of the way home too, did some gardening and housework. Total burned: 391
Total Calories consumed= 2209 BMR + Activities - Food = Consumed 2308+391-2209 =490 (target is 500)
So 10 over budget despite all that exercise. Shouldn't have had the mars egg, or should have had fruit instead of the luna and I would have been OK.
Feeling slightly demotivated, was very excited earlier having gone to the gym.
Tamara- found out that my viscount mint biccies had 88 cals not the 56 I was counting I read the wrong pack

B: usual but with raisins again 475
snack: usual 280
lunch: sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub, baked chips and a peppermint patty 645
snack: pears and pistachios (what led to the trouble ) 200
dinner: eaten very gingerly, salmon-wasabi sandwich, rice and baby carrots between 5 and 8 -3 mugs of tea! 575
Exercise: 35 minutes heavy treadmill AM and weights and ball exercises PM (I watch Jeopardy while I exercise in PM. Anyone a Jeopardy fan?)
Don't have the energy to add up the cals. I am sure it is fine. Since I had D today I might get a good reading on the scale tomorrow- that is awful! Let you know.
cals= 2175
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

NO LOSS NO GAIN AGAIN (So that is still a total of 70 lost since May 28th)
I have already reached my FIRST goal that was to lose 40 pounds by Fall Sprawl! My SECOND goal was to lose an additional 20 for a total of 60 by Fall Sprawl.... which I did. My THIRD goal was lose another 20 for a total of 80 by January 31, 2005...but that did not happen....
So, I now have a NEW goal... I want to lose an additional 23 for a total of 90 pounds by April 30, 2005.....
I will be starting with my Personal Trainer on April 9th, #1 goal is weight loss!

BMR 1724 + exercise 367 = 2091 - 350 = 1741 food budget
Pre-breakfast: 2 tea biscuits (32) Breakfast: oatmeal w/ banana (244)
AM Snacks: crispix (110), jello (90), 2 tea biscuits (32)
Lunch: tuna-veggie pasta salad (364), slice of bread (70)
PM Snacks: more crispix (160), saltines (60), half pita (60), large gumdrop (45)
Dinner: baked chicken breast (142), herbed baked potatoes (170)
Dessert/Late Snacks: 2 slices Norwegian Apple Pan Pie w/o the nuts (250)
Drinks: 5 cups teeccino w/ stevia & nondairy creamer (50), 3 glasses water = 80oz
Food & drinks total: 1879
Activity: 45 min shoveling frozen snow and breaking up ice = 259 45 min hatha yoga = 108 (I did yoga 2 days in a row! I'm excited! Hehe.)
I weighed in this morning, and I was back at 125. (Woohoo!) So obviously my problem was pill-related water retention and not actual weight gain - this was my first month on the bc pill, I had no idea it would do that... now I know.
I no longer have any idea what I'm doing calorie-wise. Haha. I figure I'm going to just figure up my BMR every day as a general guideline... I really don't necessarily care if I meet it or not, but having a guideline and counting helps stop me from binging all day & eating 5000 calories - which is really my goal, I don't want to go back there.

Better! Keep it up! Hopefully the rumbly-ness went away... that's normal when you start reintroducing things, but carrots and squash are pretty safe, carrots especially, so don't be afraid to try them again.
By the way, what brand are the ff turkey dogs you're eating? I can't find those things ANYWHERE - the ff dogs I can get here are beef, and the turkey ones have 9g fat. I miss hot dogs!

I ate pretty well today considering yesterdays binge...hehehe. Breakfast: Kashi, soymilk, and banana Snack: applesauce, 1 graham cracker Lunch: Mini carrots, english muffin w/ rice cheese and lettuce, boca burger Snack: Mushrooms and Cranberies Dinner: California blend veggies, Catfish, and Mango Total Calories: 1129 If any one can help me with understanding fitday.com that would be great because it said I burned 3062 Calories total just today so I don't know if I'm eating enough...or if that's the way it's supposed to be...

Yes..I'll try with the carrots again today, maybe at a meal that's not dinnertime. I have had some major D this morning though, I might wait till that settles down a bit, so I can see for sure what the effect is. I started my period today, so the D might actually be from that. Bad, bad cramps!
The hotdogs are actually from Ballpark Brand! Here they are the most popular brand (well, that or Oscar Meyer). These are called Bun Size Smoked White Turkey Franks--Fat Free. http://www.ballparkfranks.com These are actually the only turkey franks they have, so if it's turkey, its fat free. They are *so* good. You just have to microwave them for 35 secs, so they are quick too. They are the kind I had been eating, even before IBS. They are that good! I can get them at any major store here, Walmart, Kroger, wherever. I even saw them at a gas station once, but somehow it just didn't seem right to by hot dogs at a gas station!

Yeah... I just got done with *that* week myself, and I've had D problems too... comes with the territory.
I'll look for them! Thanks! All I know is that I've looked at every pkg of 'dogs in my usual grocery store (Hannaford), and the one up here just doesn't carry anything fat-free or even low-fat that isn't beef or pork. Then again, my FF/LF options are slimmer up here than when I lived downstate a little... everyone up here eats fatty meat and heavy "home cooking" types of foods, sometimes it's even hard to find decent chicken. Anyway, I'll try Walmart next time I'm in one. Thanks!

That's still good Shell, No gaining is a good thing Remember it was 4 lbs last week so you can't expect to do that every week.... You're still our queen of the weight loss board... Will be interested in what your PT has you do different than what you are doing now.

How much exercise do you do? How active are you?
Even if you just lie in bed, comatose, all day, your body needs probably around 1400 calories just to breathe, digest & keep you alive. Since you probably do more than lay in bed all day, you definitely need more calories than 1100.
With all the research I've done, I think that women should eat at least 1800 a day, but some disagree. Either way, less than 1400 is starving yourself.

I don't know...she told me last night that #1 goal is weight lose and then we start with the "Lean Path" = Learn to increase metabolism so I can lose weight once and for all. By combining cardio, resistance training and nutrition, I'll be slimmer, trimmer and stronger. I can't wait.... and I just love this girl who is going to be helping me....we TOTALLY click.... that is the reason I took the cycling class too...she was the instructor and asked me to join her. She even asked me what time I was gonna be at the gym on Sunday so we could work out together (free)..... she is my age...and just such a POSITIVE person...she is contagious!!
Thanks Auntie Kandee for taking the time out to comment on my report...it means a lot to get feed back.

...you need even more calories than a grown woman to grow. I'm currently searching for several articles I found that promote this, so I'll post them when I find them.
My sister is 15. She and I have the same body types, which means we are naturally average, but definitely can gain weight easily. She doesn't count calories and doesn't overindulge, but she'll have dessert when she eats out. I admire her healthy attitude about food. Just for kicks, I added up her calories for a day and she eats over 2500. She is on the varsity dance team in HS, but even if you're not that active, I would recommend eating 1800+ calories of healthy, clean food.
