I'm failing miserably... I CAN'T stay on track... I was supposed to be down at least 10 lbs by now... I've gotten nowhere... I was hoping to look at least halfway decent in a bathing suit... what can I do to keep myself on track..? I downloaded the biggest loser workout hoping it would be what I'm looking for..

I just found this thread. All the tips and links are great! I don't know how much I've lost, but I've been attempting a low fat diet with 1.5 hours of weights and walking per day for the past 4 weeks.

I've been I've making protein cottage cheese pancakes lately that taste so good. They remind me of Finnish Pancakes - Pannu Kakku.

1 c. cottage cheese
1/4 c whole wheat flour
1/4 c water or milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 TB butter or other fat

Preheat nonstick griddle and put just a little butter or oil on it. Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour on griddle in pancakes and flip only when they are getting brown on one side - otherwise they tend to fall apart.

Cook on both sides until browned, enjoy with some syrup

These are high in protein and contain no simple carbs!!

If your scale is off, you can add a weight that you know the exact weight of, like a dumbbell, just to see how much it's off by and then you can add or subtract as needed when you step on it.

well, yesterday was kind of special, i tasted my mom's cake (apples and coconut powder). i think sometimes you need a treat, just take a not too big slice

for snacks (morning and 5pm) i go for protein bars. that's what my doc told me to do and it really helps until you're home for lunch or just waiting until it's dinner time.

i also go for soups lately, a good bowl (i'll take a slice of whole wheat bread and put some bits in it) and some proteins with it, and it fills your stomach for the night. i'll usually make myself some infusion, something like verbena or whatever blend i find in the cupboard.

I did the Richard Simmons Food Mover - Move, Groove, and Loose Lost 20 lbs. 4 years ago and have kept it off.

***Kookie-for-COCO*** · 12-28-2007, 05:42 PM

I need to start too. Just gotta get my butt in gear. Will start looking for good recipes in the morning--if I can get off Coke I will be doing great. LOL

does anyone know if there is a way to calculate how many weight watchers points you can have per day without signing up to it.. cause i really dont have the money right now!!

SukiBelle · 02-08-2008, 10:06 PM

hmmm...dunno anything about weight watchers...I just know to watch the white flour/carb intake..add more whole grains, fish, veggies...and that usually does the trick.

my keys with the carbs...find a really good dark, dense, whole grain bread (feels like a brick...usually found in your whole foods/organic section), eat BROWN rice/ whole grain, and if/when you eat pasta, cook it AL DENTE...still semi hard. Keeping it dense makes the body have to work harder to digest thus creating less sugar/fat.

Your body needs carbs...that's a health fact. Just know how to -work it-
