    basily it consist of 3 meals a day and 2 snacks A meal you have a servings of protein, a servings of carb and a serving of fat Snacks you have half of your meals. Pretty easy.

    I burnt 2lbs in the past week, im hoping to do better this week - I did slack a little with the unhealthy foods and not exercising.

    Happy Monday!! :)

    Had a complete blow out of a weekend for my friends going away. Far too much pizza/fizzy drinks and food in general. Will have to work hard this week to bring everything back on track.

    No worries, Sparkle. It's part of life. Be extra diligent with your eating, drink plenty of water, and exercise....just like last week...and you should be fine. I think most of us go down hill when we CONTINUE to party after the party is over!

    Good morning losers! Happy Monday!

    It's the last week in January, and boy, did it go quickly! And you all know how short February will be.
    It's supposed to be pretty nice here weather wise. After doing a 20 minute walking DVD, I am headed to the gym for aquazumba. I will check back later.

    Have a wonderful, productive, and mindful day, all!
    Stay strong!

    I have been afraid of that. trying to be real careful about it I am so happy yours is still working for you must be water proof.

    Sparkle - I have a hard time in the summer when cruising on our boat and all the social activities we have like club dinners and cruising parties. Just pick yourself up and start again the next day. Be mindful of what you are eating and drinking is all I can say. We all do this, so tomorrow is another day.
    -
    Up early today and got my haircut this morning. Picked up a coffee and gassed the car
    for the week. Now doing laundry and will get my HIIT exercise in with Leslie Sasone.

    Have a good week everyone !

    Decided to head to the beach Saturday to hit the tail end of razor clamming for a bit. The weather was magnificent, but not so good for clamming. I did get in about 4 hours of walking and stomping around in the sand accomplished, but only found one lowly but yummy clam!

    Today was weigh~ in day for me:

    SW. 147
    CW. 140 (2.5 lbs this week! )
    GW. 120

    This gives me 10 pounds overall and 7 pounds for our Easter challenge. Yea!

    Everyone is doing so GREAT! Off to begin another successful week!

    Hello Everyone,
    I am down 7 pounds towards my goal of 20 before Easter. 10 weeks to go until Easter Monday. Just have to lose 1.3 lbs per week to get-er-done:-)

    I want to live the healthiest life I can enjoy.That means eating treats from time to time but logging it and asking myself if the treat is worth the calories before consuming it. Sometimes it will be worth the calories and at other times it won't. If I lose 20 by Easter you can be sure that a little chocolate will be consumed (and logged).
