    I know a lot of us are riding the struggle bus on weekends. I was thinking of having a mini challenge for the team this weekend to help us stay on track. What do you think? I can post it on Thursday and it can run Friday to Sunday.

    Count me in!

    Daily Post October 25
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 128oz
    Steps 3031

    Had a nice time for my grandma's birthday, she turned 84. Ordered from a bbq place we tried once before and really liked. It was my only meal of the day and I had a couple snacks otherwise so I stayed under calorie. Sundays are usually rest day so steps were low. Will get more steps today for sure.

    Great job staying under calories!

    Hi all,

    Here for Monday check in. This past week I followed some recipe book recipes - Pinch of Nom ones (recommend having a look at their cookbooks if you haven't already as they can be good for a lower calorie options and also give inspiration into recipes you may not have tried before - as I've found out this week below).

    I tried two recipes, Thai style fish with noodles and Keema pie (not pastry unfortunately :( it's more like a Indian flavoured Shepard's pie, both meals were tasty and true to flavour. I'm going to do creamy chicken and mushrooms with rice and vegetables for a evening meal tomorrow from one of the books.. no cream insight, instead it uses cream cheese (like Philadelphia for example) as part of the creamy sauce which will lessen the calories somewhat I suspect.

    I feel like even though my food isn't where I'd totally like it to be, I'm slowly working myself back into the mindset I was a few months ago which is good.

    Is anyone else thinking about the holidays yet?

    CW: 250.2

    Nice done on the loss this week! I just check Pinterest and their recipes look interesting. They have an everyday light recipes. The holidays are fast approaching. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are big food days for us. I haven’t really thought about how to approach them yet. On the non food side of the holidays, I started my shopping on the weekend.

    Check-in for 10/25

    Steps: 3984 (rested)
    Calories: 1112
    Water: 76oz

    I did not quite hit my targets but it was a rest day due to my calf which feels better today. The fantastic news is that the scale is down again today and I have passed 20-lb LTD 🤩 I have been concentrating on protein lately since I am meeting with the health coach tomorrow and we will be focusing on macros. I think the increased protein has helped to blast through this plateau.
