    My plan is 1400 calories/day of nutrient dense food, with 2 days in each week as OMAD (this can be no more than 2000 calories if needed.) Meditation every morning... because I think lots is stress fat. Stay active daily but it’s mainly in the kitchen so staying on top of tracking!
    Let’s go. We don’t need the new year to start!!!

    Christmans Eve Goal ONDERLAND!!!

    I am always doing good until I round near that 200 mark then I start climbing up again. I have only been below 200 1x in 10 years so thinking I could be 192 in 8 weeks sounds crazy to me but I know its doable just need to get past the mental blockage. My avergae without pregnancy is 210 -225 . I would like to be below 200 come Christmas time. Have a big Vacation in January :)

    My plan is to work out 2x a week (Jazzercise and weights) and do 50 squats minimal a day. I am eating low carb and trying to incorperate more veggies, higher fat and protein.

    Calorie goal is between 1500-1800 per day.
    Excited for weigh in. Cheers :smiley:

    Well, I'm a little late to the game, but, yes, please!

    Plan: Gym at least 6 days a week, 3 mainly cardio, 3 mainly strength. Food tracking EVERY BITE, no more than 1500 calories a day. Portion control. I am switching to a saucer at home, instead of a regular sized plate, if dinner is a little on the unhealthy side. ONE serving, not two. And a one minute plank, at least once a day.
