Everytime we don't achieve something we were aiming for - we can learn & do better next time. Big hugs of encouragement to: GetFitE, RubyRed, leghaveocrednu, vebuebs, Sarah, MrsFitz, Kayla, Linda, Desirai, MrsGStone, Julidav, Natalie, blderuvo, Kristen(KC), Cathy13, gr8grl68 & Christine

Amy (TeaLight) Woop Woop! Knew you could do it!

Brittanylock09 - your question about meal planning. I first look thru my fridge, freezer & cupboard to see what sort of meals I can make from there (or almost make) - and add the ingredients to my list to complete the recipe. Then I think of a few meals/recipes I'd like to try out for the week. I try to think of the main dish, side dish & veggie part of the meal. then I write the "menu" on an index card. Some I can pick day of, others may require defrosting & night before planning. but then I'm not tied to a certain day - I can pick with little or no notice. For example, this week we have:

1. spaghetti, homemade sauce, turkey meatballs, salad, fresh bread
2. homemade pizza w/whole wheat crust, green beans
3. chicken sausage, baby potatoes, salad
4. veggie burger/hot dog, pasta salad, broccoli
5. BBQ Turkey Burgers, tater tots, steamed spinach
6. Turkey Tettrazini, salad, bread & butter
7. Chicken Parm, green beans, bread

Hope that helps!

Have a great night all!

Hugs,
Amy

How about no skipped meals?

Or maybe 120 minutes of exercise? At least 30 minutes of activity, 4 times this week.

How about no skipped meals?

I like this one. I have a terrible habit of drinking coffee in the morning instead of eating breakfast. Starting tomorrow (since I have nothing at work to eat for breakfast today. lol) I'm going to be sure that I eat all 3 of my meals each day. Challenge accepted!

Congrats to everyone who is doing this challenge, because it shows that you are setting goals to improve your life!! My goal is to finish this challenge successfully. My weight loss this past week was unusual and from being on vacation the week before, but I am refocused to reaching my goals! I'm happy to have you all with me:-)

Carole......so close to your mini goal already!

Debi....nice job with the challenges of your family this week.

Meghan.....Great way to get the walking in!!

Rachel....You CAN do this!!!!

Amy.....a surprise from the scale, great!

Desirai....losing inches is the bomb!!

Melissa....unexpected losses are great! WTG!!

Brian, Tamara, Chrystal, Jeremy, Kelley, and Jennifer.......awesome losses!

Here's hoping for a great 2nd week for all.....WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Jody

Hey everyone,
Spent most of my day driving and hanging with my family in Flagstaff (about 3 hours from where I live) and had a great day!. I was good though and snuck my run in before leaving :laugh: ..... which totally made up for the lunch I had LOL. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I have officially removed ALL the plus size clothes from my closet. I was surprised by how stressful getting rid of all my clothes was but everytime i grabbed something plus size i felt really frumpy. I was able to pass them along to a friend who was thrilled to have them. I also bought a dress for my daughters university graduation dinner... in a size 14!!! There's no going back now... unless i become a nudist!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

LOL @ nudist!!! :laugh:
CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!! I bet you feel absolutely wonderful! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! A size 14...I haven't seen that size since high school! Have a great Hump Day today :bigsmile:

CONGRATUALTIONS to all the losers this week.:drinker:
For the ones who didn't lose you can do this :bigsmile:
Track, exercise, drink water the Big 3!!

This my second challenge and I hope I have success at this one. :bigsmile:

Walking is sometimes the best thing to do. Just 20 mins a day can take off a pound.

I never have to worry about skipping meals. Its eating too much is the problem. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Have a great week everyone and success next week. !!!!!:bigsmile:

I like no skipped meals. I have a problem with skipping lunch. I work from home and it is really easy to just snack instead. The snacks are heathy but it leaves me hungry all afternoon/ evening.

Set an alarm clock to remind you to eat and also prepare your lunch in the morning when you get up or the night before.
