Anyone Losing Weight?

[gja1000]

Well this is the start of day 4 and I'm doing well. I am hungry in the afternoon about 4:00 and I didn't take anything to snack on with me to school, so I just ignored it and ate a little watermelon when I got home which seemed to curb the hunger. I'm also hungry in the late evening, but not ravenously hungry like the late afternoon hunger. I need to find some snacks that I can eat that won't burn up all my calories. I CANNOT snack on fruit or raw vegetables because they make my stomach growl and it feels like hunger pains. I need to find a lower calorie granola bar that tastes decent. My favorite bar has 150 calories and I don't want to waste that many calories on a snack. Any ideas for me?

Fiber one bars are 90 calories and have a lot of fiber. Doesn't WW have snacks available? I remember buying delicious bars at WW when I was trying it again.

How about sugar free jello? It's sweet and fun to eat. I don't know how many points they are, but I am allowed 4 to 5 olives, which also have good fat.

I am interested in that app you mentioned Gayle. As soon as my IPad is charged I'm going to check it out. Maybe if I just watch calories a little more closely that would help me instead of trying a 'diet'. I'm hoping to be a bit more active once school is out and I won't have to be on a schedule of any kind.

I was going to recommend Mrs. Mays bars but I checked out there calories and it's 170. But boy are they delicious.

I'm doing well on my second week of dieting with Lose It! I lost 2 lbs last week and I weigh tomorrow to see what I've lost this week. Might not be as much since dieting while in Houston with the kids was a struggle. I still get pretty hungry at times, I'm snacking on watermelon and Special K 90 calorie bars (they're not too good though).

i like South Beach bars!

I do too, but they usually have more calories than I want to spend on a snack. Sigh. My favorite are the Sweet and Salty bars, but they are 160 each. Sometimes I break down and eat one though

The Medifast bars are delicious, although my grandchildren don't think so! Maybe I am just used to them, but I really enjoy them. They are 110 Cal., 25 Cal from fat and 4 g fiber. I'm not sure how many points that would be. They also have 11 g Protein.

They are expensive, but cheaper on eBay. Medifast gets $16.25/box of 7 bars. I don't pay a lot of S&H because I am a member, but they charge a lot to ship if you are not a member. Ebay is better for S&H too.

I spend about $300/month for all of my food, and then have one "lean ande green" meal every day. My total food costs are low.

I weighed in at 130.5 this morning!!! I lost 20 pounds! YAY FOR ME!!!

I'm still doing well on the diet - day 18 and I have not gone over my calorie alotment yet. It is hard, I get very hungry sometimes, but I try to eat a 90 calorie bar to curb the hunger. I can also eat watermelon and that doesn't make me feel more hungry. I just wish I could find more things for snacks that were good tasting and low calorie!!!
