@megdnoorman circuit training, bootcamp, sandbell classes, Zumba. When I'm crunched for time I do this YouTube workout called "45 minute bodyweight bootcamp you can do anywhere" . I'm obsessed with working out - only problem, I'm also obsessed with cookies! Lol how do you stay under your allotted daily calorie goal?0

Wow, I wish I had your motivation for exercise!
I basically aim for a 2 lb a week loss, and achieve a 0.5 lb a week loss, lol, so I don't stay in my calorie goal very well haha. But I try not to stress about it. I do a lower carb higher fat/protein diet and it works for me because it keeps me pretty satisfied so I don't normally go off on binges etc. my progress is really slow, but at least it's progress lol!
I'm trying to kick it up a notch this month 3 -

Indeed! It's definitely still progress. "Slow and steady wins the race" - do you mind sharing an example of lunch? Or satiating snacks you've tried? I have major afternoon sugar cravings - that's usually my challenge. Meals are okay but snacking gets a bit out of hand0 -
@imkinglena I base when I eat the bulk of my cals for the day on when I'm most hungry so for me that's between 11 am and 3 pm. I drink coffee prior to 11, and have a small dinner around 6:30 or 7 but beyond that it's just mostly snacking and maybe having some semblance of a meal between 11 and 3.
I mostly try to have high protein and high fat snacks, since that fits in best with my diet. Mostly: walnuts and almonds, avocado with a little salsa or feta and diced tomatoes, hardboiled egg, sharp cheddar, chopped veggies with creamy Caesar dressing, pickles, berries and whipped cream, peanut butter right off a spoon, etc. since I mostly let myself eat as much as I want during that four hour span, they aren't necessarily very low-calorie snacks. But they are really satisfying for me.1 -

Hi!
Just list your starting weight and what days you'll be weighing yourself. We're all here to support and the goal is to hold you accountable for the goal you set for yourself. Weigh yourself on your weigh day and post here. Judgment-free zone

Last month I did this challenge and I lost 4.5 pounds (the most I've lost in a while) so it was VERY helpful for me! Good Luck! "Mind Over Matter"0 -
@megdnoorman
Thank you sooo much for sharing!! I'm going to try some of those snacks and eating the most before 3pm. I'm going to try meal and snack prep too!

My margaritas last night only brought me up by 1 tenth of a pound. I'm shocked, I was expecting much worse!
Family cookout today, hopefully I can stay away from the treats (and beer)!
