Comments on: MiniGoal: 7 Pounds By September 1st http://girlonadiet.com/2008/08/minigoal-7-pounds-by-september-1st/ One girl's 60 pound weight-loss journey Sun, 11 Jul 2010 09:16:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Nadja http://girlonadiet.com/2008/08/minigoal-7-pounds-by-september-1st/comment-page-1/#comment-512 Nadja Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:07:33 +0000 http://girlonadiet.com/?p=381#comment-512 I wouldn't label it as doable or not, more like irrelevant. If you lost 7 lbs of fat and gained 7 lbs of lean muscle mass would you be happy? If you lost 1 lb of fat, 2 of muscle, and 4 of water weight, would you be happy? I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, your eating and exercise look great! You sound like you're on your way, I just hope your diet is going as well for you mentally as it is physically. Just speaking from personal experience, it wasn't until I stopped counting and threw away my 'deadlines' that I finally lost the 6 measly lbs I had been at war with for years. By the way, ever tried quinoa? I just tried it the other day and it's the new brown rice as far as I'm concerned. For about 150 cal you get almost twice the volume of rice, plus 5 g fiber and 5 g protein. It's the only plant food with all of the essential amino acids too. It's like rice, but round and a little crunchy. Smells kind of funky when you cook it, but it tastes great. Sorry, I promise I'm not a quinoa salesperson, I'm just sort of in love with it right now. :P Good luck anyhow! And congrats on wherever you are in 12 days :D I wouldn’t label it as doable or not, more like irrelevant. If you lost 7 lbs of fat and gained 7 lbs of lean muscle mass would you be happy?

I say it's worth a shot, but whatever happens, just make sure to not beat yourself up, but rather celebrate your efforts. :-) 7 pounds in 7 days is a tall order.
