I am not starting another thread, just wanted ya'll to know since starting the last thread about not losing any weight I have started counting my calories - almost 3 weeks now - I was at about 154, I am now at 150.5! :D :D :D It just kinda slid off somehow, I count all my calories during the day making sure I get in enough, and at dinner I eat but don't count, I make sure tho that I have about 500-600 left so I can eat a good dinner. I was eating meatless mostly, with lots of beans but after reading the article on protein I have added some lean meat back and eggs, I am still eating lots of beans (love beans) and even tried tofu!
One of me fav sandwiches now is hummus (homemade) with spinach and cheese in a pita. I miss peanut butter but I was eating wayyyy too much, I eat a little on my 1/2 a bagel now and then. I did find some new peanuts with a salt and lime flavor OMG, I treat myself to them a couple of times a week.
so my lesson learned, I can still have 4 girl scout cookies (thin mint) and not gain weight, as long as I count them in my daily calories :D It is hard not to eat the whole bag tho :rolleyes: Also, if you like hot chocolate and thin mints, make your hot chocolate and put a thin mint into the cup and wait a minute - HEAVEN.
Thanks to everyone who gave me hope and inspiration, it worked :) Now I only have 5.5 more to go
