Start Weight: 230.4 (Jan 1)
Challenge Start Weight: 224.6 (Jan 8)
Challenge Goal: 210
A positive thought for the week: Hubby and I stayed on track this week and managed to have our cheat meal (we’ve decided to do one a week) and both still lost weight!
Healthy snack or meal: We’ve been making green smoothies for breakfast. They’re delicious and filling!
Best workout this week: Just been doing my thing with my step count. I generally walk 3 miles on the treadmill every day to boost. I’m doing at least 15,000 steps a day! (I’m on my feet at work all day so not too difficult)4 -

Challenge Start Weight: 138.9 lbs
Challenge Goal: 133.0 lbs
Good evening. I weighed in yesterday morning at essentially 139 lbs. As I lift weights and eat at a deficit my hopes at the end of the challenge are to change my body shape, drop a few lbs in the process, but more importantly to not gain weight. (Last challenge my weigh in amounts were all over the place.) It’s my hope to stick to both my nutrition plan and my workout plan as closely as possible. If I do this positive results will come.

Last challenge session was really rough! Most of us were all over the place on weight and I think I actually gained 4 pounds (ack!). A bunch of the group dealt with injuries and illness too. Now that the holidays are behind us, I’m hoping we all make progress. You are so consistent with working your plan, especially exercise that you always motivate me to keep going!0 -

All good points. Haha. You’re right Carol I do workout consistently...I’m at the gym now...BUT I don’t eat properly consistently....here in lies the issue. You know. I realized part of the problem is me going to bed. If I start doing that I’ll win half the battle. I go back to work Monday so I NEED to get a routine with eating in place so I won’t be stressed. Since I’m back counting calories I had to meal prep or I won’t be able to count calories. Pray for me.0 -

I completely forgot to check in here. I have lost 50lbs in the past, only to gain it back after having my son.
I have crazy ambitious goals. I know that. I know that I can reach them by:
1. Preparing my own meals, bringing back up meals to work, and not letting family and friends sway my eating choices
2. Continue eating clean, unprocessed, and low carb foods/meals.
3. Continue weight lifting, HIIT classes, and activities that keep me active with my family on weekends (kung fu, archery, dog training, shooting etc.)
4. Work out a minimum of 5 days a week
5. 3 times a week, train/run and track specifically workouts dedicated to building endurance for my 5K in May.

So sorry to just now he getting back to you!! My favorite shrimp and mushroom recipe is 2 cups of mushrooms, 6 oz of whatever size frozen cooked shrimp you prefer (I use the small ones) and topped with 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese!! I just put the shrimp and mushroom in a skillet with a little bit of zero calorie butter (or oil if u want) cooking it on high!0 -
