trillium1's Journal, 20 Jan 19

Breakfast today was very light with 100 g plain 0% Greek yogurt, 10g bran, 5g shredded coconut, half cup skim milk with coffee and half a clementine. Lunch will be small but nutritious--kale, walnuts, skim milk and a hunk of bread. We're having the family over for a delicious birthday dinner and you know what that means? A nice meal with a glass of wine followed by cake and ice cream. So, I'll really trim the calories throughout the day and eat more than usual tonight.
I've been on Fat Secret for ten months and it has helped me to stay on track. There are a number of members who have supported me and intrigued me with their weight-loss journeys. Thanks.
If you look at my chart it shows a rapid weight loss at first and then a big slowdown but no yo-yoing as with my past crash diets. From day one I've eaten about 1000 nutritious calories most days (just ordinary foods), walked daily, climbed a few stairs and lifted my small weights. My blood sugar level and lipid profile are normal but I'm still in the overweight category. Anyone out there who has some tips on getting those last pounds off?

Weight training more often so the fat turns to muscle tissue

You could try intermittent fasting.( Skip breakfast and don't eat after 8pm). you can also work out in fasted state. Maybe lower your carbs. this works for me. :-)

Draglist I don't check my own blood sugar but it was good when I had my check-up a couple of months ago. I read somewhere that it's a good idea to exercise a bit after eating to bring blood sugar down. Even a short walk will help. I try to eat lower glycemic index carbs and small amounts of bread combining it with a good source of protein. The bran is for fibre. I am kind of doing the intermittent fasting thing Birdeegirl. We eat dinner very early and that's it until 8:00 or so in the morning. No snacking any more. Each meal has about the same number of calories and each meal has about 20 grams of protein. HCB, I lift my small weights and use resistance bands and climb stairs for some exercise. More weights sound like a good idea though. I shovel a bit of snow and walk every day sometimes breaking into a jog walk pattern. I read that some members have indoor bikes which sounds like a great idea.

I was also looking at your weight drop from the whole last year, and it's amazing, you have been steady losing weight, it's amazing! congratulations, keep going! I think you are already doing what you should, but any of those ideas could give you another push
