Did really bad today
Had a pear for breakfast and a handful of almonds, little pasta salad with chicken for lunch and thought I was on the right track. I saw sweettarts (my weakness) in a dish in the office, and figured, eh I work out tonight, I'll have a few. Before I knew it, the whole bowl was gone and now I just feel sick.
Going to have to make sure to down the water and eat really good for dinner. What do you guys do when you get a craving like I did today? I blame most of it on the curse (monthly) lol
That's something I battle with too! I know if I have that one little spoon of nutella, within a few hours, that bottle is going to be empty!! I have to remind myself that I will feel sick if I over do it... although, when you're enjoying that first mouthful, it's hard to remember
Ps - my monthly curse is coming too!! LOL!0 -
Sent friend request to all of you (:
Are you guys logging your meals on here still? I was going to put I'm not too sure on what to enter for portion sizes because I'm not sure how much each container holds!
I fell into the third calorie range, which is WAY more food than I've been eating, but I'm going to follow it and see what happens.
Here's my Day 1 meal plan: 5 G, 3 P, 5 R, 4 Y, 1 B, 1 O, 5 tsp
B: Smoothie with chocolate shakeology (1R), almond milk (1 Y), strawberries (1 P), and spinach (1 G)
S: Cottage cheese (1R) and 2 tangerines (1 P)
L: Salad with power greens (1 G), tomato, broccoli, peppers, and onion (1 G), Creamy Herb dressing (1 O), and chicken (1 R)
S: Watermelon (1 P) and pistachios (1
Grilled chicken (1 R), brown and wild rice (1 Y), grilled peppers and onions (1 G), 2 corn tortillas (1 Y) and coconut oil (1 tsp)
S: Veggie burger (1 R), brown and wild rice (1 Y), tomatoes (1 G)
Soooo much food! Used everything except my tsps!
Hi! Yup! I've been logging in my foods on here still. Feel free to take a peek into my food diary!
Generally speaking, I think the measurements are:
Green and purple are around 1cup
Red is 3/4 cup
Yellow is 1/2 cup
Blue is 1/3 cup
Orange is 2 tbsp
As for what I do to input it into MPF, I actually use a food scale for everything I am using with the food containers - at least for the first time. So by now, I know I can stuff about 100g of chicken in the red container.
Hope this helps! 0 -

Thank you guys! It does feel better knowing I'm not alone :-) Ive always had the most trouble with the nutrition aspect of diets. I get so confused about no carbs for breakfast or for dinner, no cheese, no milk, etc etc that i get so frustrated and give up ! This is really helping me but i know i have a long way to go!0

Im waiting to get mine!! New here on the boards. Would love to have the support and of course be supportive if anyone wants to add me.0

How did you ladies do today?0 -
Hi, I started the exercise program but haven't started using the containers just yet. I wanted to give myself a week of logging my food on MFP to make sure I stick with it. The whole container thing seems overwhelming. For those of you working, did you just plan your day ahead of time and "pack" your food or set it aside for the day? How do you all do it who are cooking for families?0
-
Yes, I am...I like sweets so it is hard but eating much better. I do workout though as I teach some too.0
-
Yes...you plan ahead...Today I had some pre-made scrambled eggs and cooked kale/onions and turkey bacon..it was good.
(heated in mirco). I also brought some pre-made oatmeal/fruit. Cook your meat on the weekend if you can.0 -
Still waiting on mine. No update on shipping 0
-
I just ordered it. Need to get my eating under control, and looking forward to an exercise "program". Not sure yet about doing the Shakeology though.
I would like to see what others are eating on this program too.

I'm nearing the end of the 21 days, but i'll keep eating 'mostly' this way.
I'm really enjoying it
I need to branch out in my foods though
with lots of illness that hit at home, I had a hard time planning well... like today, its off to th e grocery at lunch that has the good salad bar, and pick up a few other things for the weekend. But it works.

I found myself getting really frustrated today. I understand that the containers are designed for portion size, but I don't really plan or like to take them with me everywhere I go. I really wish they would give the approximate size (1 cup, 1/2 cup, etc) so if I am out of town or somewhere other than home, I can use different size tupperware.
Is it just me or does this bother anyone else? Or am I just blind and not seeing it lol0 -
I am starting SUNDAY! If anyone wants to add me 0
-
I'm ordering mine tomorrow and hopefully will get it within a week! Feel free to add me and we can all help each other!
It's on backorder -- if you haven't ordered it yet, it likely won't come until early next month.0
