Maybe just come here and post daily. Update our progress. How we feel - Come here for motivation if we feel like we're "falling off the wagon" lol
Also give tips of what's helping you feel full longer
I was doing the overnight oats for breakfast for a few weeks in November and that really helped with hunger. I already made some for tmrw and Tuesday!

I'm in! I am aiming to loose 15-20lbs. I write this as I eat cheese cake  but yes I'm in. I need to de-stress and overall just feel better about myself!
I recently started the juice plus shakes they make me so full and taste so good :)
I also just bagged up veggies for work this week!

Do you need to state how much we want to lose?
I want to stop eating carbs by way of bread/toast (love toast)
I plan on eating salads for lunch which includes, kidney or Chick peas, shredded carrots, walnuts, red peppers, avocado, cucumber, sun dried tomatoes for sweet tang, Boston lettuces, kale and mushrooms
I need help for dinner. I want to make spaghetti squash and sauce this week, NEED more ideas
BK, either hard boiled eggs, overnight oats, what else
I have a ton of frozen fruit, anyone making shacks ???
the nutritionist at work told me to write down everything I eat for a few days, I never did bc it looked like a lot :( and I was embarrassed

I'm in. I have a ton of weight to lose and I'll be in a wedding at the end of the year so I'm using that as motivation.
I already have veggies cut up for the week for salads for lunch and baked some sweet potatoes. I am thinking fruit smoothies for breakfast as I need something quick and easy in the morning.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge
I'm in. I had surgery in September and put on a good amount of weight since. My body is totally out of wack. Need some serious detoxing. I am going to weigh myself on Fridays. Good luck everyone.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge
Id like to lose 10 pounds
I need to lose 20+ But I'm going to stick to a realistic attainable goal and if I make it, I can continue from there.
My biggest problem is willpower. I love food. I have an unhealthy addiction to carbs and salt. 2 things that will probably be the death of me. Between high cholesterol, high triglycerides and just resently had my blood pressure taken and it was on its way up - I NEED to be more aware of what I eat. It's not just about looking better at this point.
Let's take it one day at a time.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge
I'm in. My w/i day is Thursday and I also take measurements of myself because sometimes you don't see the scale move so much as you see the measurements decrease.
I don't have a target in mind, really. More like tone up and have my clothes fit me a bit better...they've been feeling tight and I'm not happy about that.
A new gym opened by my house just a couple of weeks ago; DH and I joined when they were under construction months ago. I already made it to a few classes...have two classes there tonight :)

I think Im already off the wagon!! I have off on Mondays and when my dad is in NY we meet for breakfast on Mondays. Well, he's out of state now but I still took myself out for breakfast. Mainly bc I did not want to mess the kitchen :( I had potatoes and toast (not all of it)
I went to TJ and bought chicken breast, which I just grilled on the BBQ, walnuts etc. I am cooking my squash as I type, prepped my salad for tomorrow but I work late until?? on Tuesdays.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge
I have a lot of weight to lose. Since the middle of June I lost 52 pounds, but my eating was not great between the middle of December and Christmas so I put back on 2 pounds which is frustrating. My weigh in day is Tuesday. I would like to get to 75 pounds lost by easter (so another 25 pounds). My working out though, has been on point! But unfortunately weight lost is 80% eating and 20 % exercise!

That's fantastic Progress!! And 2 lb gain during the holidays is also pretty great!

what is myfitnesspal?
It's an app that helps you track your daily caloric intake. It has a search feature (similar to weight watchers) that you enter in the food you would like to eat, and it auto populates the calories/fat/card/sugar etc into the app. At the end of the day, it gives you a breakdown of how many calories/carbs/protein/fat you've consumed.
It also keeps track of your weight loss, exercise and water intake.
It's a great tool to have- there have been many times were I want to go have something, only to find out it's loaded in carbs- then I am able to make a healthy choice. I have been using it daily since my surgery, as I have to monitor my protein intake.

I don't usually enter my food, but I keep track of weight and measurements. Their reports are great for seeing trends.
