Coping with a new quitter

The first few days of my quit I slept alot also and so did my friend who quit with me.. I think all the naping is fairly normal as there was a post made about it and many others had the same experience [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/9/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 451 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $225 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Anybody who has lost/is losing - can you help?

Hi Serenity, this is a rather long post but I just wanted to let you know how I have been doing it.. From July 2006 till present I have lost 25-30lbs.. I don't know the exact amount because I didnt weight myself for the first 3 weeks.. I've been counting calories, you are probably familiar with it since there is a long post here about it.. It really DOES work but it's not easy.. Just like quitting smoking you have to have to be in the right state of mind.. I went to the gym, did weights and cardio 3-5 days a week.. I cut out processed foods almost completely, ate ALOT of food, smaller servings but ate around 4 servings plus snacks.. One of the tricks is NOT to let yourself get hungry. If you do there is probably a chance that to food choice you will make at that time isn't going to be a great one..I keep cut up veggies in the fridge so all I have to do is grab and eat them, you don't have to wash, peel and ect, it made it alot easier to eat then just grabbing a cookie r 2 from the cupboard. Carry a healthy snack in your purse with you at all times.. I always have a slimfast, all bran or special K bar in my purse.. I also keep a box of one of them in my car just incase.. The point of this being that supposedly the more often you eat the faster your body will let go of the excess fat b/c it will get used to having food all the time.. Im not sure how much truth there is to that but it seems logical to me.. Now this is what my daily menu looks like.. Breakfast: 1/2 cup of Special K, 1/2 cup of Fibre 1 w/ skim or 1% milk.. For the days when I am running late I will eat a slimfast meal replacement bar or shake.. I dont like to do that, however, it is better then being hungry and taking a chance that when you eat your are going to make a bad food choice.. ~Snack: carrots, a fruit, 1 piece of bread w/ peanut butter ~Lunch: tuna sandwhich/low fat turkey sand. (w/ cheese and/or mayo every second day) Snack: Low fat yogurt or all bran/special k bar Dinnner: Chicken breast w/ Salad or grilled veggie kebobs and steam veggies 1/4 cup of rice and a glass of milk If I have left over calories to eat after dinner I choose my snack depending on my calorie allowance.. I hope this helps you out.. If you are on CC, add me to your friends list, my name is the same over

Calorie Count Diet

[b]Windy[/b] Not to preach or anything but are you aware that the bare minimum of calories a female should eat during one day is 1200.. If you under eat every so often you will not feel the effects but if you do it all the time it will lead to what "they" call starvation mode...

Calorie Count Diet

2s2s 1500 was good for me, leaves me with a deficit of around 200 without excersize.. For me I have set my goal weight, I want to lsoe another 20 by June, it is do-able and is a healthy amount for 5 months.. Maybe I can wear a bathing suit this summer! NOT!!!!!!!!!! (Unless losing weight heals strech marks and makes your boobs grow)haha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/9/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 23 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 354 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $172.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

Calorie Count Diet

[b]windy[/b] OK I just wanted to make sure you were aware.. I know of a few people who were completely clueless for months and ate 1000 or less then wondered why they were tired, grumpy ect.. Apparently 1200 is how many calories your body needs so that all your organs can function properly through out the day.. That can be scary and cause severe damaged to your body.. I eat between 1300-1500 a day usually and it's been working great for me so far.. (30lbs down in 7 mo) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/9/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 23 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 354 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $172.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20
