*Summer Sweeties to Fall Knockouts* Week #7 8.1.11 (CLOSED G

Krys_T

Awesome job everyone on workout minutes! You guys did great! This week's challenge is called "PRO-tein Crunch". Protein is a very important part of nutrition and especially lean protein! So I want us all to concentrate on the amount of lean protein that we are taking it and set a goal for it. Here is a great article about protein and another article about top 10 proteins.

I also would like everyone to start posting their weight on the thread as well as the spreadsheet. This way it give us more accountability and reason to check in on the thread, receive support and suggestions.

Thanks so much Krys for the challenge!! I do get enough protien in for sure since I do low carbs.

BTW - The August dates were not on the spreadsheet!

Have a good day Sweeties!

Weight this morning ~ 174....only gained a pound from this weekend's camping trip! I honestly thought it would be higher.

My goal is to get 90 grams of protein a day.

Good luck everyone!

Happy Monday morning, Summer Sweeties!

I lost .6 lbs. last week. I read the article on Web MD, and it says the RDA for protein for women is 46 grams a day, and to get the weight-loss benefits, it's around 120 grams a day. I'm not exactly sure of how much protein I'm getting right now, though I know it's a good amount because the program I am on includes protein intake as part of it's calculations for weight-loss, and when I was tracking my food on here, I was always over on my protein. So my goal for this challenge will be to get at least 60 grams a day.

Cherese1983

I did really well on protein yesterday so I am going to try and go over my MFP goal every day. Sadly I am up 2 lbs this week 152.2. I feel like crying today. :sad:

Sugar_Apple

I tried to log in but I'm not seeing yesterday's date.....
I refuse to go on the scale until maybe tomorrow....have to let my body settle back after this weekend....
Missed you guys

_CHRISTIE_

hey guys!!!! I haven't and won't log my wi this week....I've been sick this week w/ kidney stones and a UTI, and am so swollen and gross... I stepped on the scales and was up 9 dag on lbs!!! I know it's fluid and b/c my body is off, so I will weigh and record everything again next week.....

so with that being said....
my starting weight for the challenge was 193.5
my current weight as of last monday was 180.3
means I have lost a total of 13.2 lbs overall

I never get enough protein so I will be working hard on that this week!!!! Love this group and this motivator... I HATE having to record when I gain haha.... which this week was soooo frustrating...who gains 9 lbs in 4 days... really?!? thats what I did hah.... so today I weighed and I had lost 4 of those lbs since yesterday morning, hoping by the end of the week I'm at least back to where I was.... stupid body!!

Hi guys! I will have to work to get more protein in my diet.

CW: 154.6lbs
SW: 155.4lbs

I finally started moving the scale and in the right direction. So I guess increasing my calories was a good idea.

Suzeesmu

I tend to go for lower carbs and higher protein regularly. My goal is 60 grams of protein per day.
SW: 193.9 (12/21/10)
CW: 181.6

Monday: 39 grams (didn't eat much - bad day).
Tuesday:

Sorry it took me till today to update the form!! I got it updated and I'm on my game again. LOL.

fitsherry

I don't eat alot of meat so I have to work on getting more protein in my diet.

My current weight is 190.2, back to where I was 2 weeks ago. That is not too bad considering I went on vacation, was home for one day, then back out of town for a funeral. I'm ready to get back on track and get the scale moving again.

Krys_T

My goal is to eat 75-100 grams of protein each day this week.
