Terersa, Hi , I am on my first week, I gave up soda
which was hard but I want to lose the weight so bad.
What type of foods are you eating and how much?
Laura
Hey Laura. This Monday was the beginning of my 2nd week. The first couple
of days were pretty difficult. Headaches, yucky feeling, but, it improved and
now I feel great. No more cravings, I feel satisfied after eating just a
little bit.. Well, a little bit compared to what I used to eat.. lol. I
stayed
strictly on the do/don’t list of foods. I ate a lot of chicken, bacon, eggs,
cheese. I had salads with all the fixins, I made the faux french toast, it
was delicious. I had ground beef a couple of times. The only things that I
strayed on were 3 cups of coffee, and a couple of diet cokes. I have drank a
lot of water, but I do not think I have drank as much as I am supposed to. I
would guess 48-72 oz a day. I am trying to do better on the water. I am 5′3″
and I weighed 280#s when I started. I know that the more weight one needs
to lose, generally, the faster and more you lose to begin with. The only
complaint I have is the “trench mouth” like someone else mentioned. Orbit gum
has
helped some with that. My daughter and I are starting the Walk Aerobics
tapes from Leslie Sansone. GOOD LUCK.. Keep us posted on your progress.. it
will come, just stick with it.
