    Well, I'm only down 2 ounces BUT last weekend I was out of town and drank for the first time in weeks so I knew I was doing bad. Overall at least this week was still a minor loss and still headed in the right direction. On a NSV note... my wedding dress is having to be taken in AGAIN, hopefully it will be taken in a 3rd time in the next 58 days!!!

    everyone is doing so awesome & I just love reading all your post...wtg...everyone!!! previous wt 175.4 down to 175.2 today.

    I also loved looking at everyones recipes...they all look so good!!! Thank you!!!

    I was trying to decide which recipe to share, but I like so many. I decided to go with chicken taco's b/c you can make them to your liking.

    Chicken Taco's

    1 tbsp EVOO
    1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut up into bite size pieces
    ~1/2 c. salsa

    cook chicken in EVOO and add salsa & simmer

    Tortilla shells (your fav) I like LaTortilla Factory Smart & delicious green onion (50 cal ea, 2g fat, 180mg sod, 10 CHO, 6 fiber & 5 Pro)
    then add your favorite toppings...i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives, reduced fat shredded cheese.

    Sorry but you'll have to figure out your nutrional info as to what ingrediants you choose to use.

    As for thoughts, now that it's summer and more outings. It's harder to stay true to my goals with eating...continuing to work on this so that I won't sabitage myself!!!

    Healthy meal for me is
    I take Healthy ones deli meat, comes in a nice plastic container. Either ham or turkey.

    6 slices = 60 calories
    1 apple your choice, sliced calories vary but about 60
    1 wedge laughing cow cheese =35 calories
    8 cherry tomatoes = 30 calories
    cuke sliced 1 cup= 10 calories

    I slice the tomatoes and use the meat as a wrap for everything else. I eat this for lunch at work a lot and I love it plus it looks pretty and is low in calories.

    At home I eat normal non diet food just smaller portions with salads 2-3 times a week. I do plan my meals out a week in advance so I will have to try one of these next week. SO many look yummy!!

    I will def post my recipe later this week. probably on sat since i have limited time today. I look forward to trying the recipes from everyone else! I am thinking I have really been sucking these past two weeks and have not been pushing myself like i should. I need to stand firm in my decision to watch what i eat and not cave when i go to someone's house or when my husband's family decide they want to throw a cook out at the last minute at 9p.m.

    My willpower is really weak lately and i noticed that it slowly deters if I am not as close with God. I have not been going to church like i usually do or doing my bible study. My faith in God helps me to resist temptations and keep my depression at bay which is in flow force right now.

    sooooo I am thinking I need to spend some time getting myself right with God and making that effort to set aside for Him and His plan for me. I need Him in everything I do and I sometimes get so caught up in life that I forget.

    I am up a lb to 146. Went through my PMS week and now coming in to TOM. After having the ablation 4 weeks ago today, I don't know what to expect so guess I will wait and see!
    I've been doing very well with the exercising. Getting up in the a.m. to get some in as well as working out each night. I have noticed some definite muscle definition in my shoulders so I am very happy with that! The dress I am wearing in the wedding we are in is a single strap dress so lots of bare shoulders will be seen!
    I changed my goals back to losing only 1 lb a week after ahving changed it to losing 1.5-2 lbs a week. Wondering if that made the difference?? Also, I upped my daily exercise to 7 days a week and at least 45 minutes a day. So far I have been going over my time goal each day.
    This week I will continue as I have been, but plan on treating myself to some ice cream!! Haven't had that in a few weeks, maybe that is the problem!!!!! LOL I wish!
    Good luck to everyone this week!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    WEEK 5.
    Although my weight in might not show it, this week I've been quite naughty, had my boyfriend visiting (im at uni and we met there so now it's summer i dont get to see him very much and so for this week my eating has been a mix of really good and really bad days!) he goes home tomorrow though and I'm going to work super hard next week to combat it!

    REFLECTION: Thoughts: I just wanna make 170 by the end of summer. :laugh: I haven't been keeping up in challenges, cause my siblings keep taking the internet cord to play their PS3 game... :ohwell: Last week I was 183, on tuesday I was 180.6, today I'm 182.4... I've been eating a lot of terribly popcorn... When I eat it, I gain. I hope it's just from the sodium. When I eat it, I also fail to stop snacking, so it's better to avoid it all together... Anyway. At least I'm doing the occasional workout again! Looking forward to a great hike this weekend with my friend. :happy:

    Good this week: I won $250 from the 90 day weight loss challenge at my gym (#1 female at my gym, #14 nationally).

    Bad this week: I turned around and let myself eat whatever I wanted for 4 days and gained 3.5 pounds.

    Back to good again: I ran my second 5k yesterday. My time was 29:07 (9:27 pace), 43rd out of 109 in my division, compared to my 1st 5K in April with a time of 35:09 (11:19 pace) 65th of 78 in my division.

    Looks like everyone is having a wonderful week!!! :drinker: Thank you all who participated and posted recipes. I will definitely have to try a few of these!!!

Sorry I have been out of touch with so many of you. I hope you understand. I really have got to get back on track and get serious!! I was doing so well and now I have blown all of my hard work!!! I will never give up!!! So, please don't give up on me. Vic thank you for taking the time and work to put this amazing group and challenge together.

    Didn't weigh in last week.. well I did, but it wasn't pretty. And it wasn't accurate either. I took about 10 days off from everything mfp & in that time got up 9.8 pounds.. didn't want to throw that number in there then drop a huge number in a week & throw off someone else's chance to be the biggest loser this week because I slacked off then came back with a big loss.. I've lost 8 of the ~10 pound gain in the last 4 days so I'll jump back in on this now :)

    Today's weigh-in: 295.4

    A gain still from my last official challenge WI but I'm ready to have some accountability!


    Current Weight (As of today): 295.4

    Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 275 (challenge loss 27.8 lbs overall loss 97 lbs)

    I've revised my goals, because if I feel my goal is unrealistic, I'll find failure acceptable. And it isn't. So I WILL weigh 275 on September 1st.

    GAH! weighed in at 88.1kgs- that's a gain of 0.9kgs, or about 2lbs.

    so, even though i'd adjusted my goal, i now didn't make it :-(. i'm going to blame the 30ds!!!
    i also have had 2 slack days this week, during which i attempted to eat my body weight in chocolate, so i'm not too upset..
