I suck at choosing favorites
Exercise DVD? right now, Crunch Cardio Dance Blast (or something like that)
Fitness magazine? WW, LGN (BB91, say it ain't so!!! Is that in the last issue, about discontinuing???), and Fitness
Healthy treat (dessert-wise)? Cereal. (sad, I know. I can't handle real desserts yet, healthy or not, I'll eat them all in a short span of time. I'm getting better, but I'm not that good.)
Healthy snack? apples (I'm lightweight addicted to them right now)
Healthy meal (at home)? Broiled salmon/oven-fried tilapia, brown rice, broccoli
Healthy meal (dining out)? Grilled chicken breast, baked potato, broccoli (anywhere)
Weight-loss website? WW
"Trick" to stay on plan? I don't have one, that's why I asked y'all.  The truth is, I'm obsessed (no exaggeration, I would be embarrassed, but clearly I'm not), so I don't need a trick yet. But my life is picking up and I foresee needing some tricks in the future. #1 on the list is to take one of my Before pics (2002) to work and put it on my desk. That way I'm guaranteed never to accept all the foodpushing that goes on in that place.
I have another one: your favorite healthy/lowfat/fatfree/lowcarb etc cookbook?
Mine would have to be Good Housekeeping Light & Healthy Cookbook: 375 Delectable Recipes for Everyday Meals (Good Housekeeping)

Exercise DVD? The Biggest Loser: Cardio Kickboxing
Fitness magazine? Shape
Healthy treat (dessert-wise)? Wow Cow Chocolate Ice Cream (34 cals a serving)
Healthy snack? 60 calorie Jello chocolate pudding
Healthy meal (at home)? Steak, sliced tomato and new potatoes
Healthy meal (dining out)? Lobster Cobb Salad at Oceanaire
Weight-loss website? sparkpeople.com
"Trick" to stay on plan? It's not really trick, but when food tempts me I repeat my mantra: "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"

Almost forgot
It's official: I'm in a size 12!!! I went to the mall today to try on clothes and see how far I had to go before I could get into a 12. WHO KNEW?!?! I wasn't convinced by those clothes I got when I went thrifting. Today I went into Express and The Limited for the first time since the summer of 1992 when I was shopping for clothes to take to college. I can fit a size 12 in there, so now I'm convinced. And elated.  I think this means I can shop anywhere I want. Is that what this means? Wait a minute, this has just sunk it. I CAN SHOP ANYWHERE I WANT!!!!! Woowhoooooooo!!!

I wondered about this too, because that's how they made it sound at the WW boards. I went to LGN boards and saw this post.

I am hoping to clear up some confusion. Looking Good Now! will only be published once every 4 months in 2007, this means 3 issues for the year 2007. New subscriptions are not available, old subscriptions will continue. Also, starting in 2007 the magazine will cost $2.99. We do not offer new subscriptions anymore because its is cost prohibitive for Looking Good Now! at this point. Please feel free to post any questions and a more direct way would be to email me at lperel@lgnmagazine.com
|
So it will only be available on newsstands. Sorry for the confusion.

That's what's up! Congratulations!
During my power shop in November, I picked up from Burlington Coat Factory what I thought were 18W jeans. Today I wore them for the first time, and since I've had more losses since then I expected them to be loose. They fit comfortably and were not big at all. When I took them off, I discovered they were 18M (misses)! That means I'll have them longer! Yay!

I'm Getting My Earrings!
Today I lost 2.8 lbs which brings my overall total to 125 lbs. I have earned my next reward, the diamond earrings! I just missed a Macy*s one-day sale where they were offering 0.9 ct for $499.
So, here's what I settled on:

But only 4 issues a year??? I guess. I figured money was an issue because of the types of ads they had in the magazine. Still, I really like it. I hope the 4 issues are bigger than the current issues for $2.99.

Exercise DVD? Power 90 Sculpt and Sweat - Nice way to tone up without bulking up. Only 38 minutes and you feel it the next day
Fitness magazine? don't have one, may need to invest in one
Healthy treat (dessert-wise)? dark chocolate. It has to have 70% cocoa or more to have good healthy benefits
Healthy snack? fruits of damn near any kind. I'm even liking banana's now..who new
Healthy meal (at home)? Salad with walnuts
Healthy meal (dining out)? salad with salmon or steak
Weight-loss website? WW
"Trick" to stay on plan?
I'on know if this would be considered a trick, but I just got through reading this book by one of the doctors that appeared on Oprah, Dr. Oz. The book, YOU on a Diet was the best thing I could have every read that really looked at dieting from a medical, psychological, mental, emotional and physiological point of view and it made more sense as to why things happen (at least for me) the way they do. The one thing that stuck out to me was the food meter, gagging your fullness. I’ve incorporated a lot of the food, exercise and thought process from the book. Eat walnuts (which I use to hate till now) before a meal; ask yourself, if you are really hungry and why do you want to eat? So far so good, I’m down 20lbs from my start on WW in June, done to a size 14/16 (the 16’s are getting a bit too lose) and discovering my curves and my butt
