Blast The Baby FAT

It's hard to find time right now to do the whole work-out routine, so we are concentrating most of our efforts on watching what we eat. We'll try our best to post what we eat and how many points are consumed. Wish us luck because we have some fat to lose!

So Rach worked it out and I'm only allowed 29 points. Bummer. I've found that I'm constantly hungry on this diet. It feels like my stomach still has a lot of shrinking to do. Which is good.

Rachaels tip: To put yourself on the maintenance plan (meaning that you're no longer going to lose weight, but not gaining any either) you simply give yourself 3 more points each day. The average person that estimates his/her points will end up going over by 3 points. So what does this tell you? Okay, I'll conclude it for you... When you estimate your points each day you've pretty much put yourself on the maintenance plan, which means you won't lose any weight. So always be careful and calculate what you're eating!

Good pointer. Thanks for the tip. I was just wondering today, if it's really a big deal if you calculate it a couple points off or let a couple points slide- but I guess it is.
We're all keeping e/o motivated. This is cool. BTW- Billy does keep me motivated as well, he just has certain times when he wants to eat everything in site. haha
