    I'm still in. But, lol I'm not logging this week. Because I'm eating the same thing every day. Also because I want to stop obsessing so much.

    However, my water intake is most definitely more than 10 glasses (it's REALLY hot here), and ALL of my carbs come from fruit and veg. Protein should also be spot on at about 100g-ish. Fat I don't know. Calories should be good.

    Food -

    Breakfast - Paleo Smoothie bowl

    Post workout - Green superfood protein shake

    Lunch - Chicken and Bacon salad with pinapple peppers and mayo.

    Dinner - Ground beef with roasted pepper pesto, mixed stir fry veg over mixed leaves.


    I've decided to try and lose 2lb this month. A short cut.

    Also decided to get blood tests done tomorrow. To get to the root of my fatigue. Here's hoping the doctor leaves his stupidness at home and gets serious. :weary:

    Yesterday I put a great workout in. My macros were as follows:
    15g carbs (all veggies)
    126g fats
    120g protein
    I drank over 100oz of water

    Have not had a single bite of candy yesterday!

    Thought it was supposed to be 50% of you weight in oz of water so for me at 140 I've been trying to do 70 oz of water which at that rate I get really bad migraines because I just cannot keep up with my electrolytes (even drinking electrolyte water!). 54 oz is very obtainable and would not make me feel as crappy.

    Honestly I've heard and read many different stuff about how much water you should drink.
    The golden rule is 8 cups (2L) a day.

    Personally if I drink over 3L I feel so hungry while everyone says water will make you less hungry. I recently find out bec I have low blood pressure drinking a lot of water will make me hungry bec it will take away all the salt in my body.
    Also my coach says you must take vitamins and minerals supps bec water make you lose some of that.
    So people who drink too much water like more than 4L a day are hurting themselves.
    Too much of anything is not good even water.

    If you're drinking water after 7 pm, you will have the water weight showing on the scale the next morning. To avoid water weight, stop drinking at 7 pm. Hope this helps?

    My weight is still stuck on the same number but it's ok. My trip was really fun but I got tired in the end and even now I'm back to my regular meals I find it hard to focus bec I'm still tired.
    the goal is to lose the 0.8 lbs by next Saturday and hopefully more lol

    A suggestion: I love my fitness pal but our posts are not private and some of you can't post from their phones.
    The more you're active in posting motivations and funny fitness stuff, recopies etc the more you will be focused on your goal.

    Also, If we wanted to track our daily water, intake and more, by posting one pic and commenting on that pic will make everyone posted and motivated.

    So, would you like a private facebook group?
