Start Weight:	(28 Mar 13) 190.0 lb
Current Weight:	(28 Mar 13) 190.0 lb
Goal Weight:	180.0 lb

following: Whipstitches's own diet
performance: losing 1.8 lb a week

I am 34 and have two children. I gained almost 100 lbs. with my first child. After that, I managed to lose around 70lbs. and kept it off. I gained another 30lbs. with my second daughter. After that, I had several surgeries and a serious run with depression. As a result, I gained another 40lbs.!! I have been in physical therapy to get my strength back and have found the right medications to manage my depression. Now I need to lose 90lbs. so that I can get back to where I was before my second child was born. My first short term goal is to get down to 200lbs. and then keep on going from there.

Protein
Hey! I just discovered that I can make a smoothie that is every bit as healthy as those expensive Booster Juice drinks using protein supplement as the "booster" just like they do in the store. I use IsoFemme which is designed for women. Low carb, low calorie and about 25g of protein in a serving. Basically, I toss a banana, some low fat yogurt and some berries into a blender. I add in the protein supplement, some Benefiber (gotta get that into the diet, too Razz

) , a shot of skim milk and a few ice cubes to give it a really frosty nice feel. I end up with about a liter of smoothie and figured that there is about 800 calories in the whole batch. I drink half for breakfast and the other half for lunch. I can still eat about 100 - 150 calories along with the shake at lunch time and still stay on track for a total daily intake of about 1500 calories (~ 500 calories per meal). The smoothies can also be made using weird stuff like veggie juices pressed in a juicer. Carrots and greens (spinach, lettuce, etc...) are actually really good because they are nice and sweet as juices. They are also still really low calorie and have the benefit of "mixing up" the whole "mixed salad" lunch blues.... Smile

Starting over!!
Oh yes.... the worst problem that I have is apparently buying snacks from the bookstore in the building that I work in. That is going to be a really hard habit to break.

Starting over!!
Going to start over..... I lost about 10 pounds during an elimination diet where I discovered that wheat gluten (only wheat and spelt, actually) seem to irritate my intestines and cause a lot of cramping, etc. In going on this experimental diet to determine if I had a food intolerance, I inadvertently went on a low carb, high protein raw food diet which caused me to rapidly lose weight. As soon as I went off the elimination diet and began adding foods back into my menu, I began to gain weigh again. Sugar was the first thing that I went for, however. I have a HUGE problem with sugar. More so than fat or any other carbohydrate. I need to avoid sugar and aspartame (gives me headaches and makes me want to eat even more sugar, weird...). I need to go back to using stevia and sucanant to sweeten my foods and beverages. I also need to get some exercise, but lets not get ahead of ourselves..... Wink
