OK so my weekend away from home..... Not at all what I was hopeing :sad: :mad: But not as bad as it could have been! WHile my food was not the greatest at all! I drank only coffee and water! I am so proud of my self for that! That means 24 days with out soda! New.. you can do this chica! :drinker: I am really trying to drink a lot fo water today because I know I did not drink enough over the weekend and I have not even got on the scale yet! My goal is to get back to atleast 139.6 what I weighed on Friday. :huh: I can not wait to get back to the gym tomorrow. :bigsmile: Good luck this week ladies!0

This weeks challange
First - still eat 2 salads this week same as last week.
Second - eat fruit twice this week for a snack! (or in place of that granola bar you want to get rid of EEK) :bigsmile:
These two are tips- try them try them and you shall see
Also (thanks to Jaymie) :flowerforyou: eating slower then you might normally eat to try to get that "your full" hormone to kick in
Dont forget your MINDLESS drinking!
Good luck all!0 -
Hello sporters
I had my second salad at lunch today (cutting it close haha). So I was successful in this week's challenge! Also today I went out to lunch with my family... I guess I did ok. I only drank water and when it came to side dishes (fries ) I shared with my brother! Instead of a caesar salad, I had a mixed greens one instead which is probably a lot healthier for you, too. The only thing I failed at was I ended up sharing a piece of chocolate cake with my brother, too... sigh. But anyways, it was delicious so I can't really say I regret it lol.
Looking forward to this week's challenge!0 -
Hi Folks,
I've been on MFP the past two weeks and just wanted to say hello and join in. My first two weeks were so-so. The first week I lost about 3 pounds and the second week, predictably, the scales didn't budge at all. :mad:
To be fair, the second week was a bit of my bad - travelled and had some parties to attend. Ended up consuming more than I should have.
Hoping that Week 3 will be a better one.

Sporters WELCOME! Turin WELCOME! NICE TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU :happy:
WELL I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS LIFE STYLE CHANGE FOR 24 DAYS NOW....IV LOST 9 LBS. IM HAPPY. IM PROUD OF MYSELF FOR COUNTING EVERY CALORIE AND CUTTING OUT THE SODA.....THANKS MYTH GOOD JOB ON YOUR PROGRESS!!
I FEEL LIKE WORK IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE I HAVE NO TIME FOR ANYTHING..I AM ACTUALLY SUPRISED THAT I CAN MANAGE THIS EATING PLAN WITHOUT GOING OVER..IV HAD ONE DAY OVER AND THAT WAS TOM ON THE FIRST WEEK OTHER THAN THAT SOLID AS A ROCK...
HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GOOD WEEK.
I ATE 2 SALADS AT LEAST THIS WEEK.
I WILL TRY TWO MORE FOR THIS WEEK AND OFCOURSE CONTINUE WITH THE MINDLESS DRINKING.
I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION IM ALSO GOING TO POST THIS ON A NEW TOPIC.
ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH STARBUCKS...I DRINK THE SHAKEN GREEN TEA LEAMONADE AND ORDER IT WITH NO SYRUP OR SUGAR. I AM ASSUMING NO CALORIES. ON THE WEBSITE THEY DONT SHOW IT WITHOUT SYRUP JUST THE ORIGINAL. ANYONE KNOW THE OFFICIAL CALORIES ON THIS IF ANY?0 -
Thanks EEK, NewBeginning0

Still have some salad makings it will probably do 2 more if I eat them early in the week. The fruit is easy I have a banana everyday with breakfast. (Dr. order) I did not have enough potasium and banana is the best way to get it with out another pill. I'll try to add apples or orages to this week and have 2 of them to reach a new goal.

hey everybody
well i certainly have had a great start to the week! had fruit with lunch and had a salad a minute ago as an appetizer for a little pizza i made... it's cooling right now and i can't wait to eat it lol. hope everyone else had a good monday! :happy:
newbeginning--as for your starbucks question, i saw you posted your question in another thread too and i agree with the posters there. i don't know what size you get, but a tall one of those, without modifying any of the ingredients, is 100 calories (this i got from the website). so, it's a pretty low cal option and i wouldn't worry too much about it. i'm sure that number goes down when you say you get it without syrup, or sugar. i get fraps there and i think that as long as you're smart about it (i.e. made with skim and no whipping cream), the stats for them aren't that bad.0 -
Welcome Turin!!
I HAD 2 SALADS LAST WEEK!!!
Im in for the next challenge Myth!!.. actually I already started - yesturday I completely ran out of time for lunch so I had a fruit salad with some low fat yoghurt!!!
Thalia - its hard trying to eat well when your working long hours - well done!!
For your starbucks drink.. Im not sure if you googled the drink to see if there is any site that might have the calorie posted but i have googled a few things and was pleasantly surprised with the information.0 -
Im heading away to Australia half holiday with my BF half visitng my mom... So after Friday i wont be online posting or tracking my food!! Im kinda afraid that I will go over alot of days
I have a rough idea of how many calories certain regular foods i eat will contain but its visiting families and having big dinners that will throw me out of wack!!!

I will be needing alot of 'say no to food' muscle!!!! hmmmm0 -

well today is my second day. I went over calories last night but I am planning better for today. I go to school on mondays and wednesdays, in the morning AND at night so I really need to learn how to PLAN PLAN PLAN!! I so want to look good this summer. I have a lot to lose so I wont hit my goal by the summer, but I am hoping that I can be in a "normal" size by the end of june. that's like 5 months I can do it!! lol. what I mean by normal size is that I want to be able to fit into clothes from the regular department not the plus sized department!0

Hi Jenng38
Dont worry too much if some days you go over a bit. As long as you keep going and keep trying.
Thats right lots of planning and organising your food and some exercise will make it easier to get you into shape before summer,
All the best Jen!!
