    How many calories do you think is in wonton soup say a cup and also a shrimp egg roll. Both from chinese restaurant. so I am sure the egg roll would be deep fried. Any ideas?

    I give it around 200 for the soup and 300-325 for the egg roll depending on how delicious it is.

    *******************Thank YOU I appreciate the calorie info

    11/2 129.4 lbs
    11/8 127.5 (-1.9 lbs)
    11/21 129.7 (+2.2 lbs)
    11/29 128.7 (-1.0 lbs)
    1/3 130.5 (+1.8 lbs)
    1/7 128.4 (-2.1 lbs)
    1/18 125.8 (-2.6 lbs)
    1/27 127 (+1.2 lbs)


    Not surprised by the gain as I wasn't expecting a 2.6lb loss the week before. Went OOT for a wedding this weekend but did not splurge so hopefully all will be well when I step on the scale Thursday. I'm seeing some great losses and maintenance for the end of this challenge. Considering this ran throughout the holiday season no gain is a huge win. Congrats to all of you and new challenge, new start!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    Nov Goal: 177.4 (4 pound loss)
    Nov Actual: 181.4
    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 0 It’s a wash!

    01/30-181.2-(Trend Weight: 183.0)- This challenge took us through Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Years holidays. I find myself down only 0.2 at the end of it all. There were a lot of ups and downs during the challenge, I even entered the 170’s for a minute or two. I will strive to not only hit the 170’s again in the next challenge, but maybe even kick them to the curb and land in the 160’s. I will do a final weigh in tomorrow but I may be traveling today for an afternoon with a friend on her birthday which will include food and festivities. Hopefully they will clean up the roads soon. We had snow last night. Tomorrow’s weight may be up but knowing I am ending the month in several challenges with a weigh-in, I will try to stay as close to my macros as I can.

    01/31-181.6-(Trend Weight: 182.9)- Well, the holidays and all the gifts of chocolate really got me. I broke even in November, Gained in December, Lost in January but not enough to mitigate the damage from December. This 3 month round was pretty much a wash for me. We are still dead of winter here in Northern Michigan where our last snowfalls are usually in early May. I will not let the winter doldrums stop me. I will be losing weight INCLUDING during the winter! There! I’ve put it out there, now it’s got to happen, right? See you all in the next round. I’m excited for all the potential for each and every one of us!
