@Tracie_Lord, what a great job last week!
@jlbtnc, a lot of people who had chosen to lose 25 lbs (level 5) haven't returned. I like that you keep going and come back week after week ; )

I don't understand how my weight fluctuations are so big right now, but at least it's in a downward trend.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be meeting my goal or not. I think I might reach maybe 15-18 pounds lost rather than 20. I have to remind myself that my weight loss is slowing down, and goals in the past won't be as easy to achieve now. Next challenge I'll lower it to level 3, maybe even level 2.3 -

Wow, yes large variations in weight. I got so disappointed with the scale I started keeping body measurement, so I would have more databto factor in. That's helped with my scale fluctuation disappointments. Either way, great loss in the right direction!!👏👏👏1 -

If you want to join, you can. Your goal would probably be best to keep at level 1 or 2 though since the challenge is halfway done.0 -

That is a tough one for sure! I've got a road trip coming up and trying to think
of some creative good-for-me food. I'll bring an ice chest and my scale for sure! I thought about bags of steamer vegetables that I can cook in gas station microwaves (love them at home with a little liquid aminos drizzled on them - so filling). Also will pre-hard-boil some eggs, pre-grill chicken, pre-mix nonfat yogurt with a favorite protein powder, pre-cook sweet potatoes, bring some lunch meat, little cans of tuna, fruit, carrots, nuts and I don't know what else. 🤷♀️ Any ideas? I'll be on the road for 3 weeks! Thanks so much for sharing. I bet most of your weight change is water. 🤞0 -

@tthickens637 I do Keto / low carb so I try to travel with almonds or walnuts. The healthy fats do help keep the hunger at bay so I stay out of the snack aisle in the gas stations. String cheese, cubed cheddar etc. My weakness is in hitting the restaurants. I am from a very very small town. One pizza joint, one family restaurant with the same menu for over 20 years now, and a fairly new McDonald's which does not tempt me anymore. Out of town I am like a kid in a toy store! We have no major stores. No walmart, etc. No strip malls. One drug store. One general hardware store. Amish community dominates so lots of horse & buggy if you get the picture. To get a donut when traveling is unbelievable! A bagel? Wow. So many choices of dinners & sides! I just can't resist. I truly need to work on portion control when in these situations. I also need to make good choices. But mainly I need to NOT BRING ANYTHING HOME to turn my outing into a full day or week binge! You sound way in control more than I am. All of your ideas are great. I want to enjoy the restaurants, however, in a RESPONSIBLE WAY. I need this to not just be a diet, but a lifestyle. There will always be travel in my line of work. There is always social situations in our lives as well. I need control. You sound like you have an excellent plan & some very very good ideas for your upcoming travel. I think you will do great. Just try to get a bit of walking in, believe in yourself, and celebrate your willingness to make changes, however big or small. Be safe in your travels!

Yay... Pretty good week. Not perfect, but better than last week. I got all my weight training sessions in and lost some inches too!! I discovered riced cauliflower, which took me to all the pre-shredded bags of vegies. All I do is pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes, drizzle with liquid amonios and BAM - a huge hot plate of yum. Very low calorie, filling and I'm getting my veggies in!! I also started pre-logging calories reserved for my evening snack. This extra buffer keeps me from taking in too many calories before snack time. 😋 I overate some at a BBQ yesterday, but hey this has to be sustainable and BBQ's happen! Anyway, still headed in the right direction. 👏👏👏 Have a great week everyone!
