^^^ As many fruits and vegetables as possible, plenty of whole grains, some protein, little to no sugar or flour. Just make it a point to cram as much fresh produce into your diet as possible, and you'll be fine.

Another 1.5lb dropped. I shouldn't be weighing myself, but there's a scale in the dressing room. I did legs today, but cut it short of an hour, as my head spun. Here is a typical meal plan:
Breakfast
1/2 banana and 1 yogurt, or replace with english muffin with peanut butter
Snack
Protein bar
Lunch
Turkey sammich on wheat pita and salad
Snack
Piece of fruit and a fistful of trailmix
Dinner
3 oz of chicken or fish, a small potato, serving of veggies
Snack
Maybe some fruit or a protein shake
BTW, I can't follow this exactly, I can usually only eat 4-5 times a day at the most. And I'm trying to eat as much as I can, and most of the carbs early in the day.
I always become ravenous at night. It takes some discipline. And sleeping pills.

Today so far: 3 eggs (1.5 yolk) with fresh salsa and half an english muffin with wild blueberry preserve( teaspoon or so). Lots of water.
I havn't taken any caffeine, and I'm about to go to the gym in a few minutes. Today is back. I hope I don't get lightheaded again!

What am I doing all of this for anyway? I keep wondering? I look fine for my profession, and guys still want to fuck me. Why try so damn hard at the eating part?

I believe you Dottie and you have my support




UGH, I NEEEED this thread. I've been eating like CRAZY the past couple of days. I think it's 'cos I've been eating processed foods again. NO BUENO.
this thread is my new crack, 'cos everytime I orget about it I start eating like a nut and you should SEE ME, I look pregnant with how much I've eaten today. I'm gonna detox tomorrow and get this processed food the FRICK out of me. I've noticed that processed food just makes me crave more processed food and it's SO HARD to say "NO!"
OK, ladies, so tomorrow I start detoxing. Be there for me, PLEASEEEE
I got chastized for eating french fries on Thursday. I ran out of groceries, so I ate out quite a bit. Yesterday I had some comfort food from luby's, but I didn't get my usual fried fish and mashy taters. Instead I got baked tilapia, rice, and green beans.
But the problem with restaurant food is the portions! I prob should have split that into 2 meals, but it was really good.
Then I had 8 pieces of sushi and a cup of miso-udon-tofu soup. No idea was the calorie count is.
I did get 3 workouts in, maybe I should take a walk around the neighborhood today?
Oh, and I've had 2 tacos to eat so far. Greasy tacos, no good, but damn tasty. I want pizza for dinner!

It pisses me off as I worked really hard two years ago and dropped around 15 lbs. and have pretty much kept it off.![]()
But whtevr, I like being toned and fit, but I am working more on my legs and butt to make them thicker.
When I started dancing in the 90's I absolutely HATED my naturally muscular, legs and butt. I so wanted to look like Kate Moss, lol!
So, I am doing something for my legs, weight wise everyday and then one or two days a week, I am doing total leg work outs, pushing for heavier weight.
We'll see what happens![]()
(Formerly known as 'Korina')
I lost 4 pounds! This Friday we are going to measure how much gain/loss in muscle vs. fat.
2 more lb by Feb 6. I've only been following the meal plan somewhat. Kat has a huge appetite. But by making a decent effort, I'm seeing some results.

I'm also asking for hand weights for Valentines day and I should be able to reach my new goal of being -11 pounds by March 3rd.
Last night I even cooked up some red potatos and peas to eat at the office today. Then I went home for lunch and am eating turkey on wheat pita instead, haha.
Apparently red potatos are the best kind to eat if you are going to have potatos. And yes, I know they have caaaaaaaarbs. My diet is pretty well balanced between protein, carbs, and even fat (20% or so).

Update:
I have one week to reach my goals. I havn't weighed myself because Auntie Flo is in town and I am bloated to hell.
I ate cool ranch doritos this weekend, oh noes!
Technically I had 2 lbs to go, but its more important how my weight has shifted. Ie, muscle vs. fat.
This week: I went to the grocery and got good stuff. I am going to eat clean, clean clean. Today was an excellent leg workout. And I'm trying to chug as much water as I can.
One week to go, then a new plan!
Add: I have these Fat Burn pills with Pyruvate. They are big and hard to swallow, but I am going to try and stomach them this week. Perhaps they might have some short-term efficacy?

I expanded slightly over the holidays (too many treats, methinks). Nothing dramatic, since I've kept up my workouts, but I'd like to get that extra inch I've gained off. Actually, I'd really like to get three inches off everywhere, but that's a bit of a pipe dream, I think- it seems kinda unrealistic to me, given my body type and medium bone structure. I'd be thrilled with one to one and a half, really. Even half would still be nice.
I jumped in on this in mid-January.
I started off at 152, as a couch potato and awful eating habits.
I added 30 minutes of cardio 3 or 4 days a week (working up to 5 days a week, 60 minutes a day), and weight training 3 days a week. I cut out soda, and while I am not watching calories, I am making an effort to eat more healthily, with smaller portions.
I'm now at 148, so YAY progress!
I ordered two new bikinis, so looking hot int hem will be a great motivation.
My goal for this month is to get back to 120. I am 6 lbs away.
I am doing it right too. I am going to the gym, hitting cardio (vigorously) for 20-25 minutes, and weights for about 30-45 min.
I already see a difference and its only been 3 weeks. BUT, my month starts from today.

Okay I was ill for almost 2 weeks there.BUT I did drink lots of water and have not had soda except one day.
Monday I did 25 mins Yoga flexibility for beginners (counts as stretching methinks)
Today-30 mins Pilates beginner mat workout.
And I start the 4-12 schedule this week. Must wake up. Earlier than 2!
Well I'm down another pound to 147.
I've been really good about no soda, and I've done at least 4 days of cardio for the past 3 weeks. I also am doing fairly rigorous weight training 3 days a week.
And now I'm making more changes to my diet, so my improvements should be even better!
ok my goals have totally changed:
I just want to get my leaps and jumps back to hyper extension point in the next couple weeks, 'cos this photog is gonna expect it.
here's my fist leap since I quit dancing back in September (first because of an injury, then because I just didn't want to go back, haha)
I regain flexibility and strength really quickly, so I should be able to hyper extend by the 9th, no prob. I just gotta stretch and fuck around on the floor space every now and then.
ok, so there's an attainable goal! HOORAY!
it'll b good to do, too, 'cos if I can stay in dance shape, then auditions won't be so rough for me next year if I decide to go back to cheerleading.
Girl, you look hot. That is an amazing jump!
Ok folks, I am looking so fucking hot right now! Ok, ok, I just ate half a jar of hummous and pita chips. And last night I had a bowl of seafood gumbo. And a few days ago I had a fried chicken sammich. But fuck it!
I've been eating as clean as possible for as long as I can, and writing it down. My workouts have been intense, and my shoulder muscles are popping out. I feel so toned and sexy. Honestly, I weighed myself today and it doesn't look like I'll have lost the entire 6 pounds by Monday.
But my smaller pants are starting to fit me again, and my strength and endurance have greatly improved. My arms are much less flabby. And I've done this while battling an almost crippling bought of depression these last few weeks.
Imagine what you can do working out more than 3x a week for an hour, and not cheating every day. Yay!
(FTR, I just think I'm the most confidently sexy beast with horrifily low-self esteem ever. I am a walking paradox. A sexy walking paradox. YMMV.)

I have my first burlesque show at the beginning of March so my February goal is to get my stomach and legs as toned as possible. I'd hope to lose 10 more pounds by then but I'm mostly concerned with overall body composition and measurements in inches at this point.
