Today's Weight - 239.5 - LIW 240 -.5 lb
Wow, what an exciting morning. I am actually under LIW. I have been working out with light weights daily and trying my best to eat healthy stuff. No sugar and No starch seems to do best for me. And I have been trying to make sure I get enough water throughout the day. I have not really tracked my menus, as I have been so stressed with my work schedule lately. But what ever... it seems to be working for me right now!
Biz, I signed into the forum under "elizkamb" I believe using the email elizkamb@yahoo.com I haven't been back to check it out. but will try to this weekend. I am in CA for a couple of days so not much time.
Becca - how is your P2 going? I will stop by and see you! Take care all! Bye for now.

Checkin' In
Hi Everyone! Well this morning I weighed in at 241.5 - How cool is that? I am now only +1.5 from LIW of 240. I have been so crazy busy and have just tried to eat good (no sugar no starch) I haven't really been keeping track of calories and just eating when I'm hungry... stopping when I am full and throwing in a few nuts every now and then for a quick pick me up. (I LOVE cashews and walnuts... but try not to over do it)
Biz, I did sign up on the forum... but haven't had a lot of time to look it over. I can't seem to post anything though, so I guess you have to do something for me there. I will try to keep in touch while traveling, but I'm not sure how good I will be at that on this trip... it's kind of whirl wind!
I DO look forward to checking out the "Bootcamp" I am also very excited about getting back on P2... but I am trying to be patient.
Becca, Thanks for always coming by and checking on me! I really appreciate the support. I will be over to see what you are up to soon! I bet you are rockin' on your P2 by now!
Regina, I AM crazy busy right now! There are two seasons that really ramp me up Sales season in late winter /early spring before we plant and then again at harvest in the fall when we are trying like crazy to fulfill orders and ship everything out. Things will slow down in about six weeks. we will get everything planted and then just watch the crops and make sure everything is growing good. I look forward to summer here... It's the calm before the storm!
I will be in Pleasanton this week, visiting Safeway and then another supplier that we work with near Tracy. This is a pretty much in and out trip, then I go to Atlanta on Sunday.
Lili... It's great to hear from you! I hope things are going better. I will stop by and see you soon!

Hi All!
Hi all!
LIW- 240 Today's weight 243 + 3
How are you'all doing? I have been so crammed with work lately, and my kids are on spring break. I havn't even checked my emal in 2 days. I am feeling a bit better that my weight isn't still climbing. I was really stressing over it for a bit. I don't want to be in the position of having to "relose" weight that was already previously lost.... and I have so much to lose yet already.
But things have calmed a bit. So that is good. Next week I go to California again and then to Atlanta and Jacksonville the week after. (Not sure if I have to hit Miami, but maybe.) Then home for a week before I am off again to Las Vegas. After that I can start P2 again (Mother's Day weekend) should be a good time to start.
Becca and Biz, thanks for checking in with me. I appreciate your comments and suggestions. It really helps to have someone to talk to who understands it all. Biz... I've been hearing about some "bootcamp" what's that all about?

Sorry about being MIA
Hi all! Well, I have been crazy busy... so sorry about being MIA! I am traveling again next week. home for a few days, and then gone for two weeks straight.... Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami and then a week trade show in Las Vegas. After that, I should be home for a while.
Anyhowsy.... I have NOT been a good girl.... and I am UP again!
This morning WT 245 LIW 240 so I am +5 Ughhhhh!
I have been exercising though.... so at least I should be toning up some. I would like to at least be back to LIW before I start round 2, which I have targeted for May 12. But I am trying to work on just eating healthy, and learning what is right for me. I really hate all the up and down though! My plan is to go 30 days on, then 30 days off and then 30 days on again in hopes to drop another 40 - 50 pounds by the end of September. I hope that is not too ambitious.... but I figure, you gotta have goals. And I can always readjust as I go along. In round 1 I lost 23.5 pounds in 40 days, in which 8 of those days I was traveling and the last week I pretty much blew. So I figure it is doable if I really stick to my plan. We shall see! :)

Just Ate, wherever, Whenever - And Lookie... Down 1
Stats - LIW 240 - R1 P3 D14 - last weigh in 243.5 - Today's weight- 242.5 + 2.5 from LIW
Hi everyone! Sorry for not being around.... I have been business traveling AGAIN. This time to Southern California, so at least I was able to feel some sunshine, which I must say, I have been missing and complaining constantly about it! LOL - So, I am very glad I at least got a shot of some sun.
Ok... well, on this trip, I ate whatever I felt like eating whenever I felt hungry. I had eggs over easy with bacon, I ate cashews up the yeng yang, I had cheeses, meats and fruits, threw in a few veggies for good measure, even ate a chocolate chip cookie. Drank a lot of water and slightly sweetened iced tea too. So when I got home at 2am this morning, I thought.... oh GOD... I know I will be up FIVE pounds when I get up in the morning.... But.... Lo and behold, I was down a pound from my last weigh in! I couldn't believe it, so I weighed myself about 5 more times just to make sure! (What a spaz!)
So Becca and Biz.... You are absolutely right! (Of course you are :)) Eating more is Less! I will stick with keeping up the calories and just wait until next P2 to worry about losing more weight.... You guys are my heros!
Amie.... good to meet you. Are you keeping a blog? I will check up on you. The blogs really help too! I've met some really wonderful people and it is a super support system!
Jennnnn....So sorry! I know I have been sporadic at best at checking in. I am in my sales season, so traveling a lot.... you know... tryin' to make a living! LOL I will work on being better. Hope you and Ed are doing good! :)

Same as Yesterday.
Ok, Well today I am the same as yesterday.... No gain, no loss.
R1, P3, D11 - Today's weight 243.5 LIW - 240 +3.5
Today's menu -
Breakfast - 1 slice gluten free toast with 1 T peanut butter, 4 strawberries, coffee with sugarfree vanilla creamer. Snack - banana, Lunch - small chef salad with italian dressing, 1 C chicken noodle soup, 1/2 molasses cookie, Dinner - Stew with 1/2 small sweet potato, carrots, celery and lean pork roast, 2 glasses red wine.
Total calories - 1793 - Broken down 36% fat, 26% Carbs, 29% Protein, 9% alcohol.
Biz, I went to the BMR calculator you recommended. Just to function it has me at 1788 - then when I add in activity, it figured me at just over 2500 calories to maintain weight, with the low to moderate exercise activity I have going on right now. So I figured about 700 calories less to lose roughly 1.4 pounds per week on P3, which leaves me around 1800 calories/day. Is this correct? or do you still think it is not enough calories? Let me know thanks. I felt like I ate plenty today, even throwing in 2 glasses of wine. I probably shouldn't eat the molasses cookie, since it has both sugar and flour.... But, I did. I went to starbucks and split it with my girlfriend over a cup of coffee.
Anyway.... Tomorrow I travel down to CA for a sales meeting for 2 days. I will do my best to "be good" but at least P3 is easier to travel with than P2.
Adios for now! :)

How Many Calories is Good?
P3 D10 - LIW 240 - Today's Weight - 243.5 +3.5
Ahhhh Sunday.... "Day of Rest". Yea Right! Tim and I have been remodeling the house and EVERY weekend seems like MORE work than the one before! Well.... Things are starting to get there. Tim is working on texturing the walls in our new master bedroom, so then I can start painting. I am looking forward to that!
OK friends... Biz, Becca, Lili so you say I am not eating enough calories. How many calories do you think I should be eating during P3? I have just been eating when I am hungry, avoiding sugar and starch... but if I need to eat more, I will make it a point to add in a few snacks.
My lifestyle? I have been exercising daily, not too hardcore though, usually a 30 minute workout video using light weights, or a 2 mile walk, and then adding in some extra exercises every other day.... 30 sit ups, 30 squats, 30 push ups, 30 dips, 30 birdies. My goal is to workout at least 6 days a week, which so far has worked out for me. Throughout the week I work at a desk, on the phone constantly, and on the computer.... so not that active. At home, I clean regularly and do the cooking, etc. so I'm not laying around, but not exactly over active
TOM is now gone and I am still up 3.5 lbs from LIW. I really want to do this right... so all your input is totally appreciated!
