    This challenge is really tough for me. I haven't had a chance to try out any new recipes, but find myself eating more at meals to meet my calorie goal and not eat snacks. It's all very confusing.

    So my question is, if I try a new recipe, can I still eat snacks?

    I feel like the eliminating snacks part is meant more for snacking on junkier stuff.

    I need to snack throughout the day too, I've tried not snacking but then I end up only hitting 800-900 calories without exercising. Now that I've bumped up my exercise if I cut out snacking I'd be lucky to hit 400 net calories. @_@

    Can we have a clarification? xD

    Hi I am still snacking as I try to eat 6 times per day, but no bad stuff/. I am also trying some new foods which is a challenge sometimes. I went to put in my points down and the old ones are still there. Should we just add them to the existing ones??

    We'll get to it. Just keep track of your points and add them when we are able to clear the sheet. Thanks! :) You guys are doing an amazing job!
