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. :)

    I'll post my weight and goals tomorrow.

    I will say, I'm nervous about this weigh in. We went camping for 4 days and had lots of food and drinks!:bigsmile:

    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! :tongue: 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.
