    Well I had my first set-back on the scale today. Not too bad, but I gained 0.5 lb.

    3/14: 149.5
    CW: 150.0

    This week's exercise challenge will be difficult for me, but I will do my best. Breakfast this morning I didn't get all the colors in, but I did a pretty good job at lunch. I had a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, and also had grape tomatoes, carrots, and blueberries. I think I would count that as 4 colors. I need to get some green in there and it would be perfect :).

    I weighed in this morning at 145.6. My starting weight was 147.8, so that's a 2.2 loss.

    chickadee2010 checking in for today
    1. Accumulate 500-ish calories burned daily 1/7
    2. Food colors 0/7

    Calorie burned total: 501/3500
    Food colors I've ate today: yellow, white, red, green, green, white, pink, white, brown, ?, ?, white. I didn't include it as a full day, because those were ones I've ate all day long, not each meal.

    Great job on the colors roselynsy!! I didn't get to do it for breakfast, that's going to be a tough one! But for lunch I had a salad and it was easy, I do need to go shopping for more fruits and veggies though. I met the exercise challenge for the day, loving that one! I needed to push myself more anyways and step it up.
    Congrats to everyone who lost! And to those who didn't, loving the positive attitude like Olivia said. I didn't lose this week but when I took my measurements I saw accomplishments so be sure and do that everyone! Welcome to the newcomers :flowerforyou:

    Wow Rose, that's amazing! Wish I could say the same. Not off to a great start. I had to work late, and I have to study for my midterm tomorrow morning, so I won't be meeting the goals for today :(

    Hi Friends,
    Hope everyone has had a great start to their week!!
    First, a recap...
    I did really well with the eating out last week: Only one day, and that was date night, and I made good choices :smile:
    I did...hmmm....okay, with the walking...started out well, but didn't get all 7 days. 5 out of 7, though, so not too shabby.

    I will be weighing in tomorrow...sorry to be a pain, but I drank a GALLON (seriously, a gallon) of water yesterday, and when I woke up, my belly was STILL full of water (it was funny, and slightly uncomfortable). So, no matter what, tomorrow morning :tongue:

    Today I did GREAT with my colors at dinner!! I think I counted EIGHT!! LOL I made kind of like a taco salad, but with no crunchies...trying to do that 'no bread' thing with Stef. And I had 4 colors at lunch. Breakfast...yeah...just a yogurt, unless you count the coffee :wink:
    Pushed myself to work out...I found out on the way home today, a dear old friend of mine from back home (Michigan) passed unexpectedly...really put me off my game for a bit, and then I realized the exercise would help, and it did. And big thanks to all of you who pushed yourselves today...reading about it helped push me :heart:

    Loving this group!! You are all so great!!
    Have a terrific Tuesday!!!
    Leslie

    Sorry to hear about your friend, thinking about you! Bad news like that is never good. :(
    Great job on the colors!! For supper I just realized I got a lot of colors in, my tilapia had a crust with all kinds of stuff in it: encrusted with a crushed corn tortilla coating seasoned with garlic, zesty lime, red bell pepper and a hint of spicy-depth from smoky chipotle chili’s (smoke-dried jalapeños). I didn't realize all that until I read the description!
    Thanks so much for this challenge Olivia!

    Leslie, so sorry to hear about your friend. I also lost a friend last October. We had been friends since childhood and she was only 44. It does hit you hard!! We are here if you want a friend to talk to:)

    I was able to do the 500 calories today! My lunch was tuna salad which I had grapes and carrots on the side with lots of lettuce and for dinner I made chicken fajitas with lots of color also, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. Yummy:) I had to buy more fresh veggies today. I try to eat fresh or frozen anymore instead of canned. More nutrious and tastes better too:) Wasn't able to get my color is for breakfast but this is something I will work on. Good job to everyone today! Keep up the good work:)
