    Ditto for me, too, Marie. I feel lighter, but the numbers are the same. I will not be ruled by the scale; I will not give up!

    Good morning! :D Gonna be a grand day!

    Barbie - biked AND knitted while watching the game? Oh I would have fallen off the bike and stabbed myself with the needles! That game had me pacing the floor - a win for me with extra steps and a win for our Cowboys! Wooohooo!

    Momma - sometimes the scales do not reflect our progress but our bodies do - a flatter belly is a great non-scale victory! Just be patient and stick with it!

    No Matter What...I will remember that the choices I make today are mine - good or bad - I must own them!

    Morning,

    I just got back from my Yoga class since the holidays and a 10 meditation. I have my new mantra for 2015 on the Newsfeed. I hope I can live by these words for a better me inside and out. I have started my eating plan today and am hopeful for a loss by Friday.

    It seems everyone here is raring to go!!

    Marie, if I don't see results in my plan I will be finding out about the 1:1:1 and join you guys. I will give my plan a good start first and see where I am.

    I'm down. My overall goal is to lose 30 lbs. I am 5'7" 195 currently and have been fluctuating aver the holidays, as I am sure some of you may have as well. I need an accountability partner. My wife and I do an okay job for each other, but it is very easy for us to justify over-eating. I hope that this will give me a wake-up call.

    (*) (*) (*) Weclome Mc. Glad you join us. I do hope this help you It has me and others. You are in charge of you on destiny You can do whatever you want to. But got to work your plan and work it faithfully

    Hello everyone :)

    Had a great day today. Sorry this is'nt weight loss related but I am very proud of myself and feeling happy today, I am having driving lessons and my instructor says I am ready to do my test now! So I am booking it next week - I just hope I pass! I think my good mood has had a good impact on how I have been food wise as well as I've been 'good' today, and we walked back from nursery (2 miles) instead of catching the bus :)

    Thank you! I am a very nervous person so I will have to try and not let nerves get the better of me on the day.
    The little one in my picture is Logan, he is my youngest son and he is 3. I have 3 older children too, I have Jordan (he is 13), Lily-Mae (she is 8) and Leoni (she is 5). :)

    Alirey...did you eat your 2 snacks? You need to fill up on free veggies at lunch and dinner. You can also add them in with the snacks. I'm thinking 2 slices of deli meat is not even 4 oz of protein. You need 4-6 oz of chicken. In other words, your carbs, fats, and proteins should be a serving. To get in 5 meals, you should be eating every 2-3 hours.

    Feel free to send a friend request so you can look at my diary.

    Hi Connie!

    Thank you! I didn't have my am snack. So that didn't help. I was good until about 4:00. AT that point I had my am snack-cheese stick, grapes and sunflower seeds. Right now I am full bc I ate sloppy joe with bun and green beans plus salad. I am sending you a friend request right now! It would be great to swap meal plan ideas. I need all the help I can get! :smile:

    Where is your fat Where are your non starchy vegies ?I really don't think you had enough protein you need a serving like 3 to 4 oz. Teach your kids to love vegetables and fruit instead of those bars. I guess the cheese count as your fat. chips count as your carbs I am just learning this diet myself and do not have all the answers But I can honestly say I do not get hungry. not one day since I started the Protein, carbs and fat. 3 times a day
