I have found many great blogs in my search for weight loss blogs and there are many other great stories.  There are people who are just getting started and people who have struggled to get a few pounds off and are still having a day-to-day battle.

My weight loss update:

I haven't been able to eat exactly as the diet prescribes again today, but I felt like I did really well.  My diet has to fit my lifestyle for me to stay with it.  It is difficult to eat exactly as the diet menu plans lay out.  

I wasn't hungry at breakfast and the book The 100 tells me if I am not hungry I don't have to eat.  

A friend called me this morning and asked me to go to lunch.  So I went and enjoyed lunch with my friend.  We went to Paradise Bakery which allowed me to custom make my salad.  I had a mixture of lettuces and spinach with tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, chicken and bacon.  This is basically the same salad I would have made at home according to plan.





My son went out tonight with a friend and my husband wanted to go to dinner.  He chose to go to Red Robin.  I got a burger wrapped in lettuce.  I had them remove anything that wasn't on my plan.  I had a salad with it.  It was a salad with tomatoes and cucumbers.  They had put on croutons, I removed them.  I used about a teaspoon of balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  




At home, I decided to eat a hard boiled egg in the evening.  No cravings!!!

I worked out with the Kettle Ball!  It was really fun!!

  1. Thank you SO SO much for the shout out, Betty! :)

    You did great today! You had me going for a moment, I thought you ate lunch at the same place as I did today! My salad was IDENTICAL except no tomatoes. LOL!

    I wanna warn you; watch out for the sodium snuck in at Red Robin. If you see a tick up, it's that. If so, next time, you might want to consider specifically asking them to hold the added salt on the meat. :)

    GREAT job! the scale will reward you! :)

    1. You are welcome, Gwen. You have a fantastic blog! Thanks, so far it hasn't been too difficult. I have just had trouble eating his exact meal plans, but I don't know that it is that important.

      I know salt is an issue, I guess I will have to ask for special meals most places to avoid that.

  3. Hi Betty! Thank you so much for listing me in this super list! I feel so flattered!

    You did super well with food. And I also don't eat when I'm not hungry--which cut a LOT of calories for me. Hard boiled eggs are very satisfying for the calories. :D

    :-) Marion

    1. You have a fantastic blog and attitude. I believe many people can learn from you. Most diets tell you not to skip meals, especially breakfast. I am just going to eat when I am hungry.

    1. I am trying! I asked at Red Robin and they said they could put any burger in lettuce. I guess that means I just need to ask. I think most places are willing to do that.
