I've been slacking the last couple weeks I need to do better with this!0 -
I've been eating too many exercise calories recently and then being upset with myself that I'm not losing weight. Just putting it in writing that I'm going to keep to my calorie goals and not eat my exercise calories this week and see if that will make a difference!0

Another 1lb loss. It's not much but at least it's still going in the right direction. Walked 21,000 steps yesterday. Have a party this weekend and a work Christmas party which is a sit down three course meal the following weekend so I'm nervous about how that will go. On a positive note I'm half way to my 12week goal weight!0 -
Congratulations on all you LOSERS , good job keep it going.
I am still at plateau0 -
Downsize Your Portions
Plate sizes have increased by as much as 20 percent over the years. “Take a look at your grandmother's plates and cups,” notes Blake. “The natural tendency is to fill up these bigger plates with food and then to clean off your plate. That means more calories per meal.” Since smaller portions are key to weight management, Blake advises investing in smaller plates or cups — or leaving part of the dish empty.

Well another slow week, but as long as it's going down, I'll take it.
Going to be a tough week this week- we had a death in the family yesterday so I am concerned about my eating over the next few days. You all know how people send "comfort food" at these times. By keeping my goal in mind and trying to plan ahead, I'm hoping to keep my momentum.
Good luck to everyone else this week!0 -
It's great to see everyone sticking with it and posting their ups and downs.
You only fail when you stop trying!
@fourterrys Condolences for your loss. You have a lot to concern you at this time, so don't beat yourself up if you stray a little.0 -
Lydia sorry to hear about the death in your family. Stay strong and focused, I will pray for you and your family.
Great advice TerriRichard0 -
Thank you guys. My husband's brother passed away very unexpectedly. I am resolved to make good choices when I can, but I know that won't always happen. Day by day, right?0

Plateauing between 197-198. Need a breakthrough. I am going to increase calories to 1400 from 1200 and also switch up on my exercises. Hope that works.0

Learn About Proteins, Minerals, and Vitamins
Proteins, like chicken, fish, and egg, can help you avoid cravings. Minerals can aid in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Vitamins also play a role. Niacin, for example, helps maintain muscle mass; vitamin B6 maintains blood glucose levels, minimizing sugar cravings. The bottom line? "Eat protein foods, balancing them throughout the day, and take a good nutritional supplement," advises Marnie Dominy, MS, professor of health science, personal wellness, and weight management at Olympic College in Bremerton, Wash.

Don't Forget Dairy
The American Dietetic Association suggests including dairy foods in your diet for weight management. According to the National Dairy Council, three servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt a day can help you lose weight and burn fat. "Low-fat or non-fat dairy products are an important source of the vitamin D that Americans are short on and are rich in calcium, which is an important part of your diet".

Hi everyone,
I would like to join the 12 week challenge. I quit smoking over a year ago and gained about 20 pounds and need something to try and get me motivated to lose some of this weight. I'm going to aim for a loss of 1 pound per week. Good luck everyone.
