minxycat added an entry about lose weight : If I can accomplish the following mini goals I will achieve my first medium goal. Lose an average of two pounds each week until June 13 and I will be at 13o, my first medium goal. So by this coming Friday, May 30th I need to be down to 134. I did so well today and I can’t wait to weigh myself tomorrow to see if this first mini goal is realistic. Then I’ll have the rest of the summer to average just a pound of weight loss a week in order to reach my big goal of 120 by the end of August. A pound a week doesn’t sound like much but any more than that is just not realistic. The closer you get to your optimal weight the slower the weight comes off. Anyway this is totally doable and I will be wearing those paisley cords back to school and the pink cords at some point over the summer. I think the pink cords are bigger than the paisley.

Eating more often than three meals a day does not assist with weight loss, new Australian research suggests. The study found no difference in weight, waist measurement, body fatness or blood sugar levels between people who ate three meals a day, and those who ate three meals and three snacks while trying to lose weight. 'There seems to be little benefit to changing how often or how regularly you eat if you're trying to lose weight.

mholik added an entry about lose weight : I had been at 137.5 for a few days, holding strong… and then, yesterday I trained for backpacking and today I’m up by 1.5 lbs. BUT I ’m not panicked because…. I have heard after intense exercise sometimes you gain a little because of water, your muscles are storing water and glucosomething (??) and so on. So I’m NOT gonna panic about it, because I know I did well yesterday. I backpacked for 5 hours up a mountain through the snow, with about 20-25 lbs. of weight in my pack. That works out to something like 1500-2000 calories burned or something like that, not to mention I’m getting stronger for the big trip in 3 weeks. Even if the weight gain was real, I’m so happy about making it through that hike!

catattack added an entry about Lose weight. : even after the celebration weekend. I walked over 4 miles yesterday, and even though I was tempted by the waffles at breakfast, I went for the eggs.

There are refreshing signs of spring in my latest lunch box: two beautiful vegetables from my first trip to the local Farmer's Market . It was exciting to be back at the market after a long, cold winter, and I was especially thrilled to find bags of fresh, green watercress there for the first time ever. Raw watercress greens are much, much too bitter for my taste, like trying to eat paint chips. But stir-fried in a touch of toasted sesame oil and drizzled with miso dressing and almonds? Heaven and a half! I found this luscious recipe at watercress.com (click on recipes, then on "Stir fried Watercress with Ginger and Almonds in Miso Dressing").
