Thought I'd start the thread for this morning. How about we all post our weight this morning and then add our meals and exercise throughout the day. We can continue to do this throughout the week, and then next Tuesday start a "Twenty Somethings Week 2" Thread. Sound good? I'll check back in a bit with my weight and what-not, just wanted to get this going!

Have fun! And good luck!!:flowerforyou:

    I want to join the 20 somethingers!

    I can't weigh myself this morning, waaaay too bloated. But my last weigh-in put me at 179lbs, which means I have just 29lbs left to lose.
    I havn't eaten yet today but my plan for breakfast is:

    1 strawberry yogurt- 35 cals
    1 bowl instant low-sugar oatmeal- 120cals
    water

    and lunch:


    I lean cuisine- chicken and vegetables- 270cals
    1 lemon yogurt- 35cals


    I don't have an excercise plan for today, but hopefully a nice loooooooong and brisk walk will be in my near future.

    Well I weighed in this morning. It was not pretty. I did not have a great weekend...a binge you might say. So the scale says I am up two pounds from last week. Honestly, I figured it would be more, but up at all was a bit disappointing no matter what I was expecting.

    So here is to week one. I feel renewed and ready to conquer this 20 pound challenge.

    Week one - I weigh in at 162

    Breakfast - A BIG (double helping) my strawberry banana smoothie (110 calories x 2) =220
    Lunch - I am having a tomato sandwhich and some canteloupe
    Dinner - zucchini casserole
    Snacks - fruit
    Ritz crackers with cheddar cheese

    Good morning fellow 20-somethings!

    Well, I'm really not sure I quite believe it, but I stepped on the scale a couple of times this morning and it kept coming up as 201.0 lbs!!! Man I hope that's real!!!

    I'm on the west coast so I'm just up and haven't made bkfst yet but I suspect this is our menu for the day:

    bf: 1 packet organic low sodium oat meal w/ 1 tbsp natural peanut butter and 1 sliced banana

    snack: fresh bing cherries & 2 slices skim milk cheese

    lunch: (we usually snack through the day rather than having a dedicated lunch) carrots & red pepper hummus, more cherries (they're abundant right now), some almonds...

    post-work out snack: chocolate whey protein shake

    supper: casserole (ground turkey, onions, garlic, red pepper, tiny bit of rice noodle, tomato sauce, baked in the oven with a little skim cheese on top)

    Depending on cals I may have a healthy choice chocolate pudding too. I tend to have a lot of cals left over. Today I'm hoping to bike with my little ones in the bike trailer across the city to one of the beaches. It's usually about a 800-1000 calorie ride all together. We'll see what they want to do!

    For breakfast I am drinking my Glycem-X drink my doctor prescribed, which has about 130 calories.
    For lunch I am having watermelon, honeydew, strawberries, nuts and some california blend veggies (maybe a few sprays of "I can't believe it's not butter spray"
