Going Strong

Doing really well still.  I am at 147.0 pounds which is down by two pounds since I last weighed myself.  I am keeping my fat intake really low to help get to my goal weight of 143 pounds.  Honestly though, I would be happy with 145 pounds.  Maintaining that weight is all good.  Still avoiding buying those food items that cause over snacking.  One of the snacks I should have added to the list before was ANY of the sugar free candies….they sell them at many places, yummy mint patties, caramel chocolates, all kinds.  They are SUPER yummy and I have a very hard time not having a lot of them.   The worst part is that for most of these small candies 3 of them is 10 grams of fat.  YIKES!!  No thank you.  

LOTS of fluids though is helping greatly.  Water with some crystal lite in it (generic brand) and also lots of milk (1%).  Keeps my tummy full through the times when I can’t have a snack handy too.  James is being very supportive and is trying to remind me when he sees me getting ready to eat something not as healthy as it could be to grab a better meal option.  He is also trying to lose weight btw….he started at 213 pounds and is now at 205.   Good job James!!  He is just eating smaller portions...way smaller.  It’s a slow process but he is doing really good.  

The holidays are fast approaching as we all know.  I don’t think I will have any problems but to be on the safe side I won’t be buying any treats or goodies until it’s time for the dinners.  It will be good for us all that way I think.  :)
