Yes x 3 I counted hours of cleaning and house projects as my exercise today Hope everyone is having a good and healthy weekend!

Thanks everyone for your advice on how to manage my diet while on a trip. So much good advice!!! I knew you guys would have some good ideas. I made air popped popcorn and grapes to munch on in the car, and decided to pack a couple of diet friendly meals so I will have options while there. I will probably do online workouts…

Yes x 3 today Exercise was a 3 mile run and some yoga I feel like my body has finally accepted its daily fate of fewer calories and zero junk food. I no longer have cravings or any serious hunger. It is all more of a routine now that I just do without thinking about. Kinda nice! I am so glad to be a part of this group. I…

Hi everyone, I am going to visit family next week, and I was wondering if any of you have any tips for staying on your diet during the dieting hardships of a road trip and a few days with family. How do you avoid the in car snack attacks? How do you deal with family members who make it their life mission to stuff you full…

Yes, yes, and yes. Today's exercise was 3 1/2 hours of painting my kids room, plus cleaning and cooking. It was a very productive day here.

Yes for all 3 Today was one of those easy days where I never felt like I was on a diet. I had a lot of calories left over, so I measured out potatoes to match my leftover calories and made a huge plate of oven baked fries for dinner. It is a nice way to end my day.

yes x 3 I have lost 2 1/2 lbs since starting this challenge, probably partly water weight, but I will take it. 0 pass days so far

Yes x 3 today. Exercise was 45 min. of yoga I had a migraine and didn't feel well, so my calories ended up way under

Hi everyone, It has been a very active weekend here, I helped one of my kids paint their room, and did a lot of cooking, and cleaning. I am proud of myself for staying within my calorie goals this entire weekend, since it is usually something I struggle with. For some reason I am just more hungry on the weekends. I ate…

Yes for all three today. Weekends are usually my downfall. Last month I lost the same pound every week over and over only to regain it on the weekend. Thankfully, being a part of this group has made me examine my flaws and come up with a plan. I really want to be a part of the winner's circle this month, so I am determined…

Yes x 3 for me today, but it was a challenge since my day was really, really crazy. How do you even log searching the yard for a package the neighbors dog may have stolen, or walking back and forth across a parking lot because our car broke down. On the bright side I missed a meal during my adventures, so my calories were…

Yes to all 3 for me. I photoed objects for my work today for several hours, so I am counting that for my exercise.

Yes on all 3 for me! I spent a few hours cleaning a section of my garage today, so I am counting that for my exercise.

I agree, your lists are very inspiring! Your 25 year old plant is my spirit animal! Lol

Hi everyone! Someone had asked for my Taco Lettuce Boats recipe so here goes. This is a great easy recipe the whole family will enjoy. It is very low in calories, so you get to eat a lot, I ate 5 tacos! I put out Guac, tortillas, and vegan chicken and cheese for the kiddos to add to their tacos since they need more…

No way! That is awesome! You will have to share some of the cool things you eat too sometime.

Congrats to everyone in the winner's circle! Nicely done! Yes to all three today! I did some hiking today for my exercise. (In the rain) I thought I would share what I ate today, mainly because I love seeing what other people eat too. I won't do this everyday, because I eat a lot of the same things and you guys would get…

Nice to see another vegan on here. In the past I have had issues with emotional eating too. I am hoping being accountable to a group will help with that. Meal prepping and not having my "emotional" snacks in my house has helped a lot lately as well. Good luck to you!

Hi Donna! I am also from Texas, near Dallas. I am 45, have 3 sons. 1 in college, and I homeschool the other 2. My husband has the same fatty liver issue as you...and I do yoga. So, we have a LOT in common. Glad you are here!!!

I am looking for friends too, so I am sending you a request. I could really use some encouragement and accountability as well.

Hi everyone, my name is Heidi, I am so excited to have found this challenge. I really need something like this. I am an athlete, but with covid lock downs, and cancellations of my sports I spent months eating junk food and got a little fluffy. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed the down time at first, but now I am trying to get back…

Hi everyone, I'm Heidi. I have been vegan for about 5 years. I enjoy running among other sports. I have gotten a little fluffy this year with Covid, lock downs, and sport cancels. Now I am trying to get back into shape. I would love to find some fellow vegan friends on here to support and challenge each other.

Vegan athlete. Add me!!!
