    2/27 218.5 (-1.5) Today is beginning of 28 day protien challenge which for me is 52 per meal which is making me anxious. This is not going to be easy but I have 28 days to get it right. I am starting with increasing dinner and tonight it is pressure cooker ham and beans. My recipe makes 8 servings at 13g protein each. Even at 2 servings I don't reach 52 lol. I am doing something wrong. Meh...day 1. 27 to go lol. 2 rebounder sessions done as well as pacing while helping momma with her first ever cell phone. What made my sister think momma could figure out an iPhone at 80?!? Did another rebounder as fitbit decided I didn't do two. Spent most the afternoon raking and blowing leaves to reach my step goal. I did over 9000. I will be sore tomorrow.

    @GirlOnTheRebound 52 grams per meal?! Wow! I can barely reach 60-90 per day!! HAH! Let us know how it goes! :)

    I agree, it's so hard to get enough protein while staying within calories. Today I've had eggs, protein pancake, protein shake, packet of ham, mini cheeses, milk and a protein bar and I'm still only on 96 grams for the day. I'd love to know how others manage to get high protein levels

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    @clprieur ...I could be reading it wrong but MFP says I should have 156g protien per day. That's 52g per meal. Please tell me I am wrong lol. I barely reach the 40s....sigh
