    Am doing well - official weigh in was this morning - down another 1.6 pounds so feeling good about that.

    I think what you are doing re food looks good. My program consists of lots of vegetables and fruits, chicken in small amounts and low on the carbs. But for the fruit I was told to eat fruit and vegetables first then the rest such as chicken and a little grain.

    @Marilynsretired - My plan is mostly vegetables and meat/fish. Fruits in the morning because they have sugars. Little bit of grain, low carbs, no dairy and avoid sugar.

    Hello,

    I have a couple new recipes planned for this week. I feel like changing it up a little and try something new. I'm having a 1/2 cup of oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts. I'm working towards low carbs but I felt like this would be a good add to get the benifits of whole-grain, high-fiber. I read this is beneficial to rebuild muscle after a workout. As I lose the weight, I want to be losing fat not muscle. Also, I'm a little sore from yesterdays workout, so I'm going to take it easy today, and go back to doing a beginners pilates.

    ☺ Life has it's ups and downs, we call them squats ☺

    Good morning,

    I preloged my food for the day staying within my daily goals. Changing things up a little, I completed a 45 minute fusion of Yoga and Pilates. I'm drinking plenty of water. I reduced my caffeine to one small cup of coffee in the morning. No more unsweetened ice tea throughout the day.

    I love this time of year, observing all the leaves change into many colors, that'll create a beautiful landscape. I enjoy sitting outside and observing the night's sky on a cool night in front of a bon fire. I like being outside and breath in the fresh air, feel the wind on my face, and take in all nature has to offer....Life is good.

    Good morning!
    I got on the scale this morning. I've lost another pound this week. That is a total of 12 lbs. I'm logging my foods and drinks, drink water, posting my daily check-in, and exercising five days a week. I've educated myself about losing weight and strategies to keep it off. As I put what I learn into action, I'm obtaining a slow but steady weight loss. I feel like I'm making great progress.
