Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

Had a bad weekend.

Had sandwiches at mom's house and now all I want is bread! I've also been feeling hungry since then (Saturday)

I did do my exercises, so maybe it wasn't a total loss, but i'm thinking there will not be much weight loss come my weigh-in Friday.

Try adding more things into it. It can be less leafy and more other veggies.

I like roasted red peppers.
Also add colorful food to make it more appealing

Tomato, yellow or orange peppers, etc.

Use little to no lettuce? There is a brand that I use for my salad base and it's shredded cabbages, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. I usually prefer crunchy iceburg or romaine over dark leafy greens
(even though those are the most nutritious). I just try to mix it up. Some salads can have no lettuce. I've done like cucumber/tomato/onion/parsely salads before. Or bean salads. Or cabbage salads like i said before. If you have a leafy green salad, two best things, load it up with other stuff so that you have only a little in each bite and also, salad dressing! a good salad dressing is almost all i ever need for anything!!

In addition, try adding some cooked quiona. It can be more of a "toppings" salad.

Wednesdys 1/20
Breakfast:
Herbalife shake, tea with Aloe
Lunch: Chicken salad on lettuce, tomato and apple slices w. Lite balsamic vinaigrette, string cheese
Dinner: dulce de leche & cookies N Cream shake with Almond milk
Snack: skinny caramel macchiato tall

Water: 72oz

Exercise: 45 min of Chinese Kickboxing : 3 days so far this week, goal is 5

A bad day with calorie intake because I was way under my calories. Kickboxing is late at night when I get out of work so afterwards I'm not hungry but can't eat before or else I will be sick in class. Have to eat a bigger lunch to stay on my 1000 calories/day.

Re: 2016 Weight Loss Challenge

Wanted to give an update.. So a couple of years ago you guys may have remember I lost about 55lbs went down from size 10 to 0. link to post Anywho so about a year ago I gained some weight and my pants were fitting tight but I refused to get what I call "fat pants" cause I was going to lose weight. Well I didn't, so I caved and got my first round of fat pants. Then those starting fitting tight! Well this past November, I had to cave and get my second round of "Fat Pants" Chat Icon

I am happy to say that I fit into my first round of Fat Pants! Chat Icon I only lost 6lbs but I believe I lost inches. So keep at it girls, you will see results!
