Katy Group Meeting 11/15

If you are looking for something sweet in between meals, try eating something like a protein drink with a piece of fruit or some crystal light mixed in it for a unique flavor. If you need some recipes for a way to make a shake, let me know and I'll be glad to share them with you.

Another important aspect is how many calories you are consuming. You can use www.fitday.com (use www.dietfacts.com to compliment the website) to help you, you can use MyFoodDiary and track your meals and give you feedback, and MyWeightLoss has an excellent article on calculating your caloric needs and how to lose weight.

Goal for the group: Write down everything you are eating and how many calories and bring on Monday for discussion.

My end of discussion statement was the following:
My goal with this group is only to offer help and support. I can't make results happen for anyone. If I offer support to people, I am only with them for a limited amount of time for the week. What happens when I'm not around someone is even more important. If someone isn't ready for change, I can't force them to change. My presence doesn't make someone get results, and the lack of my presence doesn't prevent them from getting results if they are determined. I can only support, encourage, educate, and motivate someone to make better choices to achieve the results they desire. I am here for support, I can't make anyone get results unless they are ready to get results.
