This is an AWESOME idea!night_watcher wrote: »@sharkweek 8 pounds seems an achievable goal are you following any specific diet plan ?
Just watching what I eat and sticking around 1800 calories. I'm aiming for a little under 2 pounds a week. If that doesn't turn out to be achievable, I'll revise the goals. I have a pretty complex weight loss spreadsheet that projects calories to lose/maintain and projects long-term loss based on a healthy rate of weekly weight loss, and sets quarterly goals based on it. (In case it's not obvious, I'm a huge Excel geek!) I've lost weight before my life got crazy stressful, so I've got a decent idea of what works for me... here's hoping it works as well the second time.scouter233 wrote: »If anyone would like to friend me on Fitbit, you're more than welcome to, my email address is scouter233@gmail.com Please message me on MFP to let me know to look out for your invitation.
Good idea. I'm love to be FitBit friends with anyone else who's got one - I regularly do workweek challenges on there! If you'd like to be friends, message me your email or just post here and say you'd like to, and I'll send you my email. Not posting publicly, just to decrease spam.
My breakfast today was a tofu scramble with kale, tomatoes, mushrooms, and curry seasoning!0 -
I had a Chobani Greek Yogurt with Passion Fruit for breakfast, and I don't normally eat breakfast at all, so this was sort of new for me. lol0
