Lucy's Fantabulous Weight Loss Diary

**lucylicious** · 08-04-2005, 10:41 PM

So far today I ate:
breakfast- 1.5 cups honey bunches of oats cereal (I can't give it up even if it isn't super healthy, it's sooo good) w/ milk.
lunch- left over indian food-rice and chicken in a spinach cream sauce type of thing.
dinner- who knows yet...
I've been drinking lots of water, and have already got my 40 mins exercise in but am thinking about doing a little more later this evening...and I need to try and work in a couple pieces of fruit and some veggies today.
'til next time!

Lucy,

You might consider resistance training. The amount of muscle mass you have has a direct connection with a how many calories you burn and contributes to the greatest fat burning potential between cardio or weight lifting. You might also consider doing high intensity interval cardio which will cause you to burn more overall calories.

It doesn't look like you're getting enough protein, fiber and good fats in your diet. You might try working the veggies and fruit into two snacks between your meals to keep the metabolic fires burning.

Good luck.

Hey strengthsports, thanks for the advice. I usually do eat more healthily than that, although you're right, I do tend to lean more towards carbohydrates than proteins, and that's not a good thing I guess. Anyway, I weighed myself today and have lost 2 lbs since last tuesday. I really don't think the phentermine is helping me to lose the weight anymore and I can tell that I've grown immune to it. The only thing it does do is curb my appetite a LITTLE bit. Sooo the only reason I'm really losing weight (albeit SLOWLY) is because I'm exercising and trying not to eat much. Oh well, I'm atleast happy that I lost SOMETHING this week. I hope I can continue losing. I'm now 18 lbs away from my short-term goal...
Cheers,
Lucy
