Weight History

Start Weight
205.0 lb
Lost so far: 1.2 lb

Current Weight
203.8 lb
Performance: losing 0.4 lb a week

Goal Weight
165.0 lb
Still to go: 38.8 lb
I'm 32, married, have a 2 year old boy, and working as an accounting specialist. I was a good weight until after high school when I started getting depo shots and gained about 50 lbs. I've been yo-yoing ever since. I started at 213 lbs on March 27, 2015, and I'd like to eventually get down to 165 lbs if possible in my lifetime. I spend most my time on my computer, watching TV, or reading. I go to the gym at least once a week, but I'd like to do more. I'm on Atkins and plan to stick with it, because I feel like it's the most successful diet, and in some ways the easiest to stick to (except during the holidays, imo).

Stalling/Frustration
That recipe sounds delicious and something my family might like. I've been meaning to start making more family meals because I have stopped cooking for my husband and son since I started the diet and I think they miss my cooking. I'll also have to look into Atkins smoothies. I'm afraid to use any Atkins powdered smoothie mixes...I wonder if I can make something like a green smoothie. Thanks for the tips!!

Stalling/Frustration
Thank you for the advice of eating more of a variety of vegetables. Maybe I will try to switch it up this week with some green beans and zucchini. I regularly eat cucumbers, celery, and broccoli. I buy spinach/lettuce in hopes of making a salad to go with a meal, but the bags usually go bad before I get to making one. Salads just seem so unfulfilling.

So you think you're eating PALEO do you?
Really interesting article. I never thought about it that way, but now I will laugh when I hear about my friends and/or family going on the paleo diet, I'll have to let them in on the joke. Thanks for posting Smile

Restaurants Without Nutritional Information
I know it's not helpful, but that's why I don't eat out. If I can't find nutritional info, I won't go. You might be able to estimate some of the stuff, but I'd rather just make the food myself and know exactly what's going into it. I find eating simple meals much easier (and most likely healthier) than complex meals served at restaurants.

Tuna! How much is too much?

ceecelia, by convenient do you mean packaged food? I tend to eat simply, in my opinion. lol

Here are a few time saving things I have done:

* Roast a bunch of chicken breasts (or your favorite parts) in the oven. Then you can quickly make chicken soup, a salad with chicken, lettuce wrap, etc. (or eat it plain). lol

* Buy a roasted chicken & do the same as the above.

* Make an egg bake for quick breakfasts all week. I usually throw in some saute veggies (red pepper, onion & zucchini). Top with cheese; Parmesan cheese & cheddar are my favorites. Don't forget to spice things up Wink

* Hamburgers are pretty quick, unless you want a bunch of additions, like I do. My favorite additions: cheddar cheese, bacon, tomato, red onion. Sometimes I add avocado and/or mushrooms. I cut the burger into strips and wrap up all the goodies in romaine lettuce leaves. Yum Very Happy

* Cook extra dinner so you have leftovers for lunch.

Thank you for all the good ideas, LambiePi! I just took about 40 minutes and prepared all my snacks and some of my meals (including seasoned chicken breasts) for the entire week and I think this will help immensely. I find turkey to be cheaper than hamburger, so I just bought a bunch of that (ground), cook it, and eat it with cheese and spices straight out of a bowl. I think you probably get better tasting food than I do from the sound of it, but all those extra toppings mean extra time, and I'm so impatient, haha. I could put the turkey on some lettuce or spinach...I don't know why I don't...it just doesn't end up happening.
