    I haven't weighed myself for a few days but I plan to weigh myself Wednesday to see where I am at. Last week there was only one day that I went over my calorie goal and still no soda!

    Start: 1/26- 192lbs
    Current: 2/1- 191.5 lbs
    Goal: 187lbs

    Plan: don't eat when I get home from work at 10PM

    Progress: I saw a slight decrease in weight, but I definitely didn't work as hard as I could have! I have to keep my eyes on the prize.

    I can do this!

    Two weeks left everyone, keep up the good work! After gaining 2 lbs I am finally back down under my start weight and on the right track! Upping my protein has helped a lot even though I have gone over my calorie limit a few times. Also, I seem to do better when I log my food before I eat it, it helps me portion control and avoid snacking. If anyone struggles with those, I highly suggest logging before eating :)
    This week, continue eating lots of protein, drinking lots of h2o, exercising 5-6 days, and getting SLEEP! Also, I'm going to need to plan for Sunday... Superbowl parties kill me!

    I have been trying to watch what I eat. Been making small changes like replacing pop with sugar free tea and cutting back on sugars unless they are natural. I have been going to the gym trying to do at least 30 minutes of cardio and just recently started weight training my arms every other day. I have my wedding in October and I'm wanting to lose 50 lbs hopefully but realistically I know I might not hit that and I want to tone up my bat wings. This is my starting mini challenge.

    I took a Fitness/ Nutrition class and I remember the instructor saying some people just seem to do better with a little more protein added instead of carbs and it seems to prove true...Keep up the great work! :)

    Day 4:

    Not a good day for my carb intake; over by 17. BUT it was a high training day - cardio and strength. Actually double cardio today. Still can't hit those protein numbers.

    Food intake was good today - lots of lean proteins and veggies. Kept me feeling full all day. Water intake was also on point.

    This has been such a great week. I was feeling so meh last week and had vowed that come Sunday I'd kick it in to gear; sure enough, I did just that. Woot woot!

    Challenge tomorrow - dinner date with another couple. Colombian steak house. Might not be so bad! Wise choices, wise choices.

    7AM sweat session tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!

    P.S. - I will hopefully be taking my body fat percentage tomorrow if I can remember when I get to the gym. I'll record it here, but won't weigh until Sunday. This AM I was 205. I was 208 when I started MFP. ☺️

    I have problems hitting my protein numbers as well sometimes...nice to have a protein shake where you can add 30- 60 grams of protein with a scoop or two and if you mix with water, not the calories. :)

    Hi there - no change in weight, so I have adjusted my macros slightly as of today to see if that will help. I'm also sick so that's not really helping my cause much. Had an awesome workout Monday night though and I'm definitely still feeling the burn. Going to do an at home plank workout out and KB abs workout this afternoon. Training session tomorrow AM at the gym.

    That's what I've been doing as of late; the protein number is crazy high since I had it set to 1g/body weight. But I adjusted today so it's a bit lower. Hopefully that will help!

    Fluctuated up again but I'm not too worried, my body feels more toned so I am happy. Been super busy lately so I haven't been eating the best. I have been overdoing it on the red wine and chocolate (at least it's dark though)!

    One week left, I probably won't be able to reach my goal but I will still try to get as close as I can. I ate pretty bad the past few days but finally established a new plan that I am excited about going forward!
