    Sheesh. This is going to be a yoyo month. Almost back up to where I was in week 1. I can't wait to see the tail end of this humidity

    @Jactop Humidity is a killer for me as well, it's like my body absorbs it all!

    Weigh in week: September Week 2
    Weigh in day: Wednesday
    Previous weeks weight: 150.5
    Current weight: 152

    Ugh! Up 1.5 pounds. My parents were in town and while I still worked out I also had wine and beer and pizza and doughnuts and apple crisp (lots of restaurants they wanted to try). Darn. I’m not at all surprised but it still stinks to see that!

    @tigale: My go to is a big salad like spring mix with ready made chicken and some chopped veggies. My favorite ready made chicken is Johnsonville grilled chicken. They make a black pepper and sea salt chicken that is only 90 calories. The packaging is a little off putting but the chicken in flavorful and easy to use in a salad, on a tortilla, etc.

    My go to meal is chicken in the Crock-Pot with cream of chicken soup and cauliflower rice. Also any kind of hamburger casserole. Hamburger with cauliflower rice and any veggies I want to add with cheese melted in top.

    I'm more of a snacker. I like to eat Greek yogurt, slivered almonds topped with fresh berries, sometimes granola. I also like Cheese and Crackers or a protein granola bar. I really like to save my calories for dinner so that it is very satisfying and can carry me through the evening without a physical need for snacking (mental needs are a different challenge altogether).

    Daily post Tuesday
    Tracking: so far today I have tracked everything
    Exercise : I walked to the gas station for some monsters, and I'm planning on spending 30-40 minutes on the elitipcal after my boyfriend is done working.


    I'm so happy to be a part of this team
    My goal I'm focusing on now is going out for new years and being able to feel confident in a sexy cocktail dress. I know that is a temporary goal lol, I know this is going to be a lifestyle change, but having a goal to look forward to really helps me. I already picked out what kind of dress I want to wear. Anyone else have any goals they want to reach?

    @tlgale my quick meal lately has been cod and summer squash. It's real simple

    I season the cod with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne and cut the summer squash. Cut the summer squash into little silver dollars. Add a little unsalted butter to both pans. The summer squash I season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. They both cook pretty quickly. I dont really time it, but probably 6 minutes or so. Healthy quick and simple :)
  • Idk if its really counted as a meal, but I always like to keep meal shakes on hand and pair it with a granola bar, cause sometimes I cant be assed to make myself something lol

    @JLPadron86 Thats an awesome goal to have! Once I hit 140 I plan on adding to my forearm tattoo

    @justkris_gettingfit I resisted cake too, this last Friday was my birthday and I went without birthday cake, I will have many birthdays to come where I can have cake, but right now it would have really thrown me off on my low carb diet.

    I'm looking for new ideas.

    My go to meals are salads. I line up all my clear salad bowls, fill with a mixture of lettuce, spinach and/or spring mix then top with whatever veggies I have. I cover with plastic wrap and stack in the fridge. I add nuts, seeds, chicken, cheese or whatever when I eat them. They last at least 4 days but usually get eaten by then

    Thanks all for the ideas! @shines1981 I've never heard of cauliflower rice, I'll have to look into it. @JLPadron86 I really like cod also, never tried pairing it with squash though. @kellyjellyjeanbean I'd rather snack too, but I always need up over on calories so I'm trying to stick with mostly just meals.

    @JLPadron86 My goal right now is to fit into a jacket that I bought (a size to small) in August.

    I just realized I weighed in a day early this week! And put week 2 instead of 3! Oops...you can just use my today’s weight for this week instead of tomorrow’s. It was really early this morning and I was really tired!

    And you had a tough weigh in too! I don’t know the rules but maybe you can repost and correct your weigh in tomorrow since we are still within the same week?

    @justkris_gettingfit What kind of meal shakes do you use? I make fruit smoothies with protein powder but I'm kind of bored of them now.

    @Jactop I used to do this, don't know why I stopped...thanks for the reminder!

    @bethcamy1 I can use what you have already or you can re-weigh today, up to you.

    I also keep shakes on hand. The Atkins caramel Cafe is the best.
