Calorie Restriction moving forward

I am doing pretty good with CR and using the Cron O Meter. Good thing my two tomato plants are producing some great tasting tomatoes right now. They keep me with a low calorie count even when I decide to eat 5 of the beauties.

The weight is slowly going down. No big numbers to report, heck I am no even reporting a number. I did try on the skinny jeans again today. Got into them but not comfortably. I still need to remove 5 pounds to feel good in them. But, I feel confident I will be in them in a week or so. I have only one pair of size 7 skinny jeans because I wasn’t in that size long. I have lots of skinny size 2′s. Yep I was there for over a year. Good ole days, ha just a few months ago. I will be there soon enough.

Even though crap is happening all around me I am determined to stay on track. This darn economy is really trying its best to ruin me. There is nothing I can cut back on. We are already at bare minimum. I am trying to use less utilities. The a/c for one, even in these 100+ days. I set it at 80. Hope it makes a difference with the electric bill.  Things have to get better for us somehow. I will take care of me so I can get through these sad times.

    Hi Marjie,

    This is Sue (yelerp2 from YT) This darn economy is causing belt tightening for everyone, sorry it has affected you too.

    I think of you often and the great inspiration you were during the early stage of weight loss, when it can be easy to quit.

    Since Dec ’09 I have been maintaining a 70 lb weight loss. I think I am slowly easing into true CRON, it seems to make the most sense for weight loss maintenance,health and longevity.

    I tried the “eat more for your metabolism” thing and quickly gained 5 lbs.

    take care, sue

    Hi Marjie, how have you been? In my continuing efforts to lose weight, I downloaded the crono meter today and have been watching your grocery haul videos.

    I found you on youtube and just wanted to say thank you for the videos and the postings. I will be 50 in April and need to lose about 100 lbs. I am 5’5″ and my top weight was 232, so you started roughly at the same spot where I am starting. I am getting my courage from that.

    I appreciate very much that you did this weight loss as a mature woman. There are so many younger women out there in diet land, but very few beautiful, vibrant ladies like yourself. I also appreciate how beautiful your house and kitchen are in the videos.

    Wish me luck, I’m on day 2 and this is gonna take some time!
