That's right everyone!!!! Monday will make 50 days
that we have been committed to eating healthier and becoming more fit!!1:drinker: Salute to all of you who have stayed the course!!!! If you have had some roadblocks, just get back on track. Remember, tomorrow is always a new day!:flowerforyou: I am enjoying sharing my successes and failures, as well as hearing from all of you on this journey! I am excited to see what the end will yield!
Next week will be time to take measurements again!!
Has anyone viewed either of the meal plans posted in the earlier topics? If so, were they useful? Do you see any fine tuning that could be done? In a search for something really plain and simple to follow, I came upon this meal plan by my fitness and nutrition GODDESS, Brenda Leigh Turner. I think I will be following the general idea to generate my weekday meals for the next two weeks. Let me know what you think! Here is the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36976314/specialoccasion-weightloss.pdf
Also, I am really contemplating beginning the Whole30 Program for the last thirty days of the challenge. I don't know if I like the idea of "giving up" so many different types of foods for 30 days. I think that I may crave something and should be able to have it. The reviews are excellent though, so maybe I could do it with 1 "off day." What do you think about the Whole30? Here is the link:

Hello everyone!!! This group has been very quiet lately. I only "lost" .2 ounces in a week. As I have mentioned before my body is just fighting losing any more weight. I am fine with the weight I would just like to trim some areas of my body. :grumble: I really don't know what else to do other than what I do now. I eat small meals throughout the day, most of my meals are clean, I drink lots of water, I don't drink sodas or juices, haven't had alcohol since Nov 2013, I stop eating at 7pm, I eat a good combination of veggies, fruit, lean protein, healthy fats. I log in my foods most times, keep my sodium down. When I eat out I choose mostly healthy foods (yes, not able to control the amount of sodium). Exercise wise I do a combo of cardio, strength training and yoga 6 days a week.
Angela, I am all for joining you on the Whole30 program. I pretty much did something similar in January. It is very strict. It says you are not supposed to weigh during the 30 days. I guess we will not be following that. And speaking of measurements, is it that time again?? Do we also take pictures?
I like the lean secrets meal plan you included. Does Brenda Lee have a facebook page? Do you follow her there or on YouTube?
Have a great one!!! :drinker:0 -

I wonder if I can hang on to such a strict regimen for 30 days. I feel that it would benefit me immensely, but I don't want to set myself up for failure or binge eating. I like that they include a plan for reintroducing the "avoided" foods again. I have only read positive reviews, so I am trying to pump myself up! I know that if I have a few people to go through it with, it will be better. Pictures and measurements after this week.

It wont be easy but it is doable. I basically "did" it for 30 days and I am still doing a "modified" version of it. It definitely helped me get rid of the bloat, had lots of energy (still do), mental clarity, etc. I am willing to try it 100% this time if you will do it. It is no fun to do it by myself. LOL Let me know when you will start. :flowerforyou:0

Yes, I could really use the boost of energy and mental clarity. I may wait until this challenge ends. I think 90 days is a bit much for everyone to stay motivated. However, I like longer challenges because it gives me time to see results over time, and I am less likely to do some crazy "starvation" thing that only ends up being short term. Participation dwindles some, but I am still motivated to finish!0 -
Awww Angela, I was getting excited about doing this program with you soon. But I totally understand...I might do it the last 30 days of the program. I have every intention to finish this challenge with you guys!!! I am not a quitter!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:
