Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / May 2005week 1 - 6lb loss
I did post this a short while ago, but server having problems and I wasn;t sure you would see it. Cut out butter completely. Am using extra low calorie mayonnaise which is only about 16 calories per teaspoon. Very nice it is too. I can't cut out mayo, but low calorie mayo tastes just as good - low calorie butter just does not cut it. I have been skipping too. I couldnt do much skipping as my chest would start to hurt a bit, but each day I can do more before the pain comes along. I have done my weekly weigh and have lost 6lb in my first week. I am happy with that, although I know my body will not sustain that amount of loss per week for very long. Next week will probably only be a few pounds, but even 2lb would be the equivalent of 4 packets of butter. :-) Currently I am not doing weightwatchers, but am doing my own calorie controlled diet. The tablets I think are helping too. Although I was supposed to be treated for this underactive thyroid for 4 years now, due to bad memory it was very rare for me to take my tablets. Its only recently about 2-3 weeks ago I have been taking them every day. It takes 2-3 weeks for them to start working properly so the timing is about right, the loss this week might have been aided by the regular use of my tablets. Of course it doesn't matter how I lose the weight, whether it is proper use of medication, water loss or whatever, it is still weight loss and I am happy. Great job. You are definitly making lifestyle changes that will last forever. Good luck this week. > I did post this a short while ago, but server having problems and I wasn;t > sure you would see it.

Good luck this week. I hope it lasts forever. I had a bad day the other day and thankfully didn't hit the butter reserves :-) > > Great job.

Anyway its their diet, I don't want to preach to them about what they should not eat. Its up to them how they eat.

Even better - throw it out! I haven't had butter in my house for a *loooong* time. I love it, but know I can't have it. Rest of the househoold healthier for not having the saturated fat also. I work on the theory that if it's me doing the buying and the cooking, I get choice of ingredients ;-) Cheers, helen s > > Let me say this too!

So much healtier than butter. > All we have is "I can't beleive its not butter" in our house these days. > So > much healtier than butter. In our place it's the Flora stuff that lowers cholesterol levels. Lord, I love butter, as does husband & son, but my husband has high blood pressure (well controlled by meds), so I try to keep him healthy, and I want to give my teenage son a reasonably healthy start in life, and not have clogged arteries by the time he's ready to go to university ;-) So in this household, it's low-fat, low-salt everything and use of herbs & spices for extra flavours. Cheers, helen s We use the I Can't Believe It's Not butter Lite, even less calories and fat. Tastes great to me and DH. I still get the cheap stuff for the boys as only one actually uses margarine on anything. My son will only use Molly McButter on his food, says he hates butter but likes the taste of that.

There's no temptation for me to eat it on bread, as while I love it, the pain and other consequences would be too unpleasant to make it worth while. If we run out of olive marge, the boys can eat butter. I just manage without. I do most of the menu planning and cooking, but DH does the shopping. That way I don't get tempted by the things I shouldn't eat. Also, if I had to do supermarket shopping, we'd all starve! I hate it! SignatureKate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! good theory, I figured out that I would have to lose without asking DH to give up the things he loves as he does the cooking, the only thing that bothers me is the "fat" items, cookies and candy do not affect me, but cream cheese and butter talk to me in my sleep, Lee > > Let me say this too!

I also like butter but have trained myself off of it on sandwiches, switched to lowfat mayo, now prefer some of the fancy mustards to that even. Keep up the great work!

I quite like mustard too but I am very picky about mustards, some of them are far too hot and smell awful. Can be quite offputting when I buy the wrong type. Great first week loss, Beck. :) Signature~Kristin 285.2/277.8/164 >I did post this a short while ago, but server having problems and I wasn;t >sure you would see it.

Well done :) Congratulations in a big way on that 6 pound loss, Beck - a great start ;-D Elaine >I did post this a short while ago, but server having problems and I wasn;t >sure you would see it. [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Excellent work. I would gently suggest that you deal with the butter monster. Cutting things out of one's diet completely might not work over the course of a lifetime. (G) But I have almost given up cheese which was almost a daily indulgence. But I do still have it - mostly strongly powered ones and in MOSTLY limited amounts, not like the old days. Have a good time with things this week. >I did post this a short while ago, but server having problems and I wasn;t >sure you would see it.

I have not wanted any at all and although theres nowt I can do about it still being in the house, I can handle it easy enough. For now :-) |
