    Belnita you are so welcome glad to have you join us. I know you inquire about the 1-1-1 diet to me.. just to clarified things We are not pushing the plan. just so happen Connie and I found it to be a good lifetime way of eating. Any diet plan will work if you just follow it. and Connie is a very new friend of mine. Just met her thru this thread

    I'm doing the JUDDD aka alternate day diet. So far it's working and my headaches are gone.

    No excuses for me not to stay on my food plan this week. Meal prep for my family of 5 is done...with lots of help from my daughter. In 5 hours we have breakfast, lunch and snacks packaged and in the fridge for everyone to grab and go during the workweek and 5 healthy dinners made that just need to be reheated each night.

    I am lucky that I enjoy cooking, it's my stress reliever, and my daughter seems to be following the same path!

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    I apologise for any confusion, but I've changed my user name in the last few minutes. I see we're only allowed to change it once, so "isnijo" is who I am for infinity. Thank you for the warm welcome :)

I myself will need lot more time and would also be for maintainer too so we can keep this lovely bunch together. .Barbiecat is on a Maintainer. Going on her 6 years now.

    I like it when people on this thread sign an easy to remember name so we can be more personal with each other.

    I am like Marie, I don't eat bread because I am unable to be moderate with it.

    :D Marie, you are a fast learner putting up a link to your 1-1-1 food plan

    The new Bluetooth headset I ordered just arrived and I have it paired with my phone so now I can listen to music while walking without the nuisance of wires to get tangled.....besides the wires getting tangled, I have broken several wires so I've lost the stereo on three corded headsets and one blue tooth with ear buds. I walk either with dogs or alone for hours every day and the headphones keep me entertained.

    Elaine...I know prepping for the week is a lot of hard work, but we know it is sooooo worth it. You can do something else in the evening because dinner and prepping for the next day won't take as long! Good for you! Also, the bonding with your daughter...priceless!

    Marie..your Sunday meal plan looks good! I'm gonna get a rotisserie chicken from Publix and have veggies and a sweet potato for lunch.

    Abakan...Bread???? Fresh, homemade bread??? Oh my, I could never eat one slice. Just give me a knife and the loaf.

    Hello I'm from Kanata, Ontario, Canada. I Started using MFP a week ago and lost 5 pounds:-) I joined a gym this week. I look forward to the day that I don't feel so sluggish working out. I just know that in a year from now I will be glad that I started now. I have about 40 pounds to lose. I haven't decided if I will target losing 1 or 2 pounds per week. I am only 5' 4.5". I just want to get er done. Anyone else tried dropping more than a pound a week?

    Sorry I didn't sign my posts with my name Marie I normally do but forgot today.
    I've eaten 2 slices of my fresh homemade bread, it was very yummy, later I will slice it all and put it in the freeze that way I will only eat 1 or 2 slices at a time.
