Everything sounds so good!


That vinaigrette dressing is right up my alley- I'm going to make that for a dipping sauce for chicken. Thanks!

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

I'm in.. MFP GizSash, my diary is public too. Lowered Cals to 1000 daily. Want to try it for 30 days!

I plan on not drinking Chat Icon, combo of south beach and protein shakes. It's too much work for me to prep 3 meals a day, so the shakes make it easier for me to stay on track.

For exercise, I plan on doing Chinese kickboxing and cardio at gym. Just waiting for my asthma to get infer control, been sick. But I am doing the 30 day Ab and body challenge in the meantime.

Current: 136
Immediate goal: 126 by week 2 in Feb.
Goal: 115
Ultimate goal: 105

On Day 4:

That stinks - but at least you have a reason. I usually put on 3 lbs right before AF starts. So 1.5 isn't bad

Just think, when it's over, you'll drop at least that !Chat Icon

Me too, I get so bloated. Also your weight can fluctuate 2-3 lbs a day. The other day I had gained 2lbs, today I went down a lb from my original weight, so it looks like I lost 3lbs. I wouldn't get discouraged over 2lbs, especially with AF.

Make sure to weigh yourself during the same time, usually the morning is better. I am trying to weight myself every 2 weeks because last time I was obsessed with the scale and it was too much. It's hard though!

It could also be water weight- I know I tend to retain water when AF arrives, but the week after I drop that weight plus some.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

I like how MFP tells you where you will be within 5 weeks if you keep eating the way you do

Yesterday when I finished my food diary, it said I'd be 8 lbs lighter in 5 weeks if I keep this up

Good motivation!

Chat Icon I know that's my favorite part of the day seeing what I can be in 5 weeks! If I keep it up I may be able to reach my -10 lb goal in Feb.

Is anyone else worried about the weekend?? Its so hard for me to stay on track, especially since it will be the first weekend since I started dieting. Chat Icon

Good job ladies with the clean eating, lets keep it up!Chat Icon

Weekend is hard for me. Mainly Saturday night. DH is only off on Sunday's so we usually go out to dinner Saturday night and have a few drinks. And Sunday ... Well we're Italian so carbs carbs and carbs. Its gonna be tough but he may have to give up a couple Saturday's with me and hang with friends until I feel ok with a "cheat night". Not just yet though. I feel so good from being so healthy with my food choices. I want to see that scale move!!!
