My goal for this challenge is to power through the Halloween & Thanksgiving holidays and avoid as many temptations as possible to show a one pound loss per week. Out-of-town Christmas shopping travels will be the biggest challenge!

So far, the steroids haven't hurt me, and they made the pain go away, so that's a good thing.
I was able to increase my arm/back weights today after 6 weeks at the same, so that felt amazing, and I'm down a pound!!

Happy Weigh Day!!!
I’m so excited to say we have completed our first week and boyyyyyy what a week it was.
No matter if you lost , maintained , or gained weight you still did great! You still jumped on here to hold yourself accountable. Whatever you do keep holding yourself accountable to YOUR GOALS and how you achieve them.
If you didn’t log your weigh in today , please do it! Facing our success and challenges is what helps up truly change our lifestyle. That by nature is what accountability is!!

A good enough week. Food prep was mainly on point. Only got one strenght work out in, had aimed for two, but life got in the way, but walked to work most days - even if i did get soaked to the skin a number of times. Will aim to bench on Wednesday, dead lift on Friday and squat on Sunday - I always feel better for a solid strength session.9 -
@ibamford82 have you tried recipes that incorporate mushrooms, eggplant, and green peppers? I’ve heard these three can really mimic meat in certain recipes. Also Quorn is a HUGE frozen brand for vegetarian and vegan options. I have before and it’s really good!lbamford82 wrote: »Weigh in day already, not had a great week but every pound counts, here goes:

**NB: I'm not feeding children, but I like these.
I do the roast tray back on this site a lot, its about 3 down: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/sep/26/quick-courgette-ratatouille-with-crispy-haricot-beans-recipe-tray-bakes-anna-jones-the-modern-cook
Its more a template than a recipe. My favourite - sweet potato, butter beans, leek, thyme, smoked paprika, stock+white wine. But work with what you like to eat + have in the house.
- I've replaced meat with lentils - so bolognaise sauce with lentils. I'd think cottage pie would go down well with children.
- Aubergine + lentil curry https://www.food.com/recipe/red-lentil-and-aubergine-eggplant-curry-205101
I also add tomato puree, or maybe passata/tin of tomatoes.

Thanks for your reply!
Never thought of replacing meat with lentils, that opens up the options. We’re very lucky as our children are very good and not fussy at all so will try some of your suggestions this week!2 -
