How's the processed food challenge going? One tip that helps me is prepare in advance, if i can, such as a weighed handful of nuts (150 cals max) as an emergency snack. 25 grams of almonds, less for macadamias. What are your tips? Let's nail this together and learn from each other!!0

Ughh, this is a hard one for me. I did ok but definitely need to be more prepared. I like your tip and will put it to use tomorrow. I think I will be putting chicken in the crockpot tonight. I need more protein to meet my goal.SamandaIndia wrote: »How's the processed food challenge going?

I blew the daily challenge first thing, before I was totally awake! I had a protein bar for breakfast, I meant to have eggs. I did ok for lunch and so-so for dinner....tomorrow I'm on it!0

Evrything I ate today was homemade, however the fact that I am in the midst of baking for concession sales the sugar content was high! I did have egg whites for breakfast and homemade beef barley stew for dinner. I was more aware of the food today then usual, and I did get on the treadmill while doing a homework assignment (I made a desk top that fits on the side handles of my treadmill for a treadmill desk), so I walked 4.8 miles. Moving in a better direction being aware.0

good try everyone we will do it tomorrow ,i know we can.just sent friends requests to the rest of the team and reminded them they need to sign in 2 times per week to remain active. hope to see them we need everyone to win0

My biggest problem is how I reward myself after work with food. And then I keep eating until bedtime. Since the time change it is dark outside, so I can't go outside for a walk, etc. I am full of excuses.
that time of night is when i do most of my mfp work so i do not snack but if i really need to popcorn is great if not loaded with butter and salt or fresh veggys0 -
I dropped the ball tonight! The day creeped up on me, and due to a lack of planning and becoming "hangry" my dinner tonight was processed, processed, processed. But I did stay within my planned calorie intake, so that's good.0

I read that as adding veggies to the popcorn. Thanks for making me smile!0 -
Ok team. I have just been spying in on the other teams and their motivational boards. No one yet has any inspirational sayings nor links to helpful sites . Perhaps we can help motivate each other more if we find some and share. I also want to help the non posters feel comfortable enough to share. When we hit plateus and gains that is when material like this is extra important. Let's nail this blue!

Any tips from those doing prior challenges, so we can all not only lose weight but learn healthier habits so that we all keep it off? I find the non scale victories such as measurements help when TOM plateus my weight or stacks it on.
Example NSV:
Recently I could do my knee high boots up without a risk of them exploding. Major win there!!0
