I'm curious to know what everyone is doing to meet our goal at the end of the 75 days.....besides the obvious counting calories/calorie deficits?
For me, I tend to love carbs....so my carb consumption will be be in the mornings (breakfast, snack) so my body uses it during the work day and with workouts. My husband and I eat later in the evening (8 pm) due to his work schedule, so my plan is to have a protein and vegetable only with no or very minimal carbs.
I usually have a very balanced diet on most days anyway, but this plan tends to work for me when I'm really concentrating on losing weight.....it will have to be adjusted with heavier workouts and weight lifting days.
IS ANYONE ELSE USING A SPECIFIC PLAN?

Not using a specific plan but I have a few eating habits that I plan to follow like eating 5-6 meals a day, drinking 100+ ounces of water, not drinking during the week (and I love my wine) and being prepared (meal prep every week, keeping my journal updated).
I also work out 6 days a week.0 -
I'm not really using a specific plan, either. I try to eat a breakfast that is higher in protein, because that makes me feel full longer. Then I bring my lunch and snacks to work everyday. If I eat everything in my lunch box, that's fine because it's all healthy (fruits, veggies) and a higher protein snack or lunch to get me through the afternoon. If I don't eat everything, that's fine too. I'm trying to only eat when I'm hungry, not just because I feel like munching. I'm going to try to keep my dinner light as well but high in protein. I work out at night - usually finishing my workout around10 pm. If I feel hungry after my work out I'll have a protein shake, banana, or toast with peanut butter and a glass of skim milk. I'm really trying to be in tune with what my body needs, not what my cravings say I want. However, something I learned yesterday was that I need to pay attention to how much I'm eating, because if I get too busy and don't FEEL hungry, I can eat too little. Yesterday I only ate 941 calories and wasn't hungry even after running 4 miles. Then I woke up this morning STARVING!!0

I am not really using a 'plan' for this... but coincidentally the start date of this group was the same day that I had to start leading a gluten/dairy free life, as per my doctor's orders. So, I am trying to fit in exercise as often as I can, paired with my clean eating of lots of whole foods.

I have a bit of a plan, I am cutting out on bread but replacing it if I'm craving with similar products, but healthier, such as wholewheat wraps or rye crackers. I'm focusing on keeping the sugar low, so eating more veggies than fruit, and if I have enough sugar at the end of it I allow myself a treat such as a kitkat or a shape chocolate yogurt, I find that helps keep the chocolate cravings at bay, but at the same time feeling like I've earned it.
Besides all that, working out, I'm having 2 toning sessions at the gym a week and 2 swimming sessions a week as well, alongside this I'm walking to work and if I'm up to it, fitting in some cardio work out video's off youtube that are 10 minutes long.0 -
Bringing my lunch and good snacks to work is key for me. Salads with protein (nuts/ feta/ chicken) fill me up. When I get that 2:00 chocolate craze my new favorite recipe is this:
Grab a large-ish mug. Add about 2 tsp of Ghiradelli dark choc cocoa mix. Add just enough hot water to make a thick syrup. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup nonfat Fage (or your fave brand of Greek) yogurt. Stir. It looks just like pudding and is so yummy. For about 25 extra cals you get a great protein boost that slays your craving dragon.0 -
