    I joined this challenge one week into what I am calling a "soft cut." For me, this means that I am focused on whole foods, staying in range, and eating a bit more protein right now. I am also not eating sugar or drinking alcohol. My first week was really good, and I am not on Week 2. So far, so good!

    I think I did this in my answer to Activity # 1 as a goal step to the bigger goal of losing inches and/or weight. I have already stumbled with tracking by eating in restaurants on Sunday and Monday. It's so complicated to track food when you don't know how it is prepared, etc.

    I’ve been aiming to follow a Mediterranean diet. I track every bite I eat and drink at least a gallon of water every day. It’s working well!

    I’ll be following the traditional low carb/low cal diet, including 64 ounces of water. I have been following this diet for years (but augmenting has become my downfall). I love new and old recipes. Thurs is shopping day. Kitchen is clean and ready. I am a lousy blogger, so don’t do it. I use mfp food diary, and will post here.

    Hubby and I are cutting our carbs and sugars. It means that I'm not baking very much (keeping the sweet tooth at bay. Out of site out of mind.) Choosing low carb, healthier breads options; going to finally try that almond bread recipe I was given; eating less bread, in general. More from scratch cooking, when at home; when eating at a restaurant, I usually always eat half and bring the other half home.

    Do you know what diet you will follow? Mostly eating lean meats and fresh veggies. I need to break the junk food (carbs/sugars) cycle that I have been on lately. I know that when I sustain myself with MOSTLY fruits/vegetables (freggies) and some meats, I have done best in thee past. Of course, portion control comes into play here as well.

    Have you followed this diet before? Yes, I did - years ago and it worked quite well when I buckled down and made sure to stick to the plan.

    Found some recipes? I go out to work and DH does most of the cooking. We've discussed.

    Grocery list? Yes

    Do you have the food on hand to get started? Yes - since I like starting things at the beginning of a week, TODAY is the day that I'm starting.

    Shop? Yes

    Did you clean up your kitchen? Working on that
