Thursday Check in: Food: Breadless sausage egg and cheese with avocado breakfast sandwich for breakfast, the same casserole for lunch, and then for dinner I felt like indulging so I have a bacon cheeseburger and fries.

Wednesday Check in: Food: Same as Monday, even the 12 oz Diet Pepsi.

Amanda/Mander here I think one of the biggest challenges when it comes to weight loss and eating right comes down to the people in my life. No one near to me eats the way I do. My boyfriend's diet is pretty atrocious and while he tells me constantly that he is proud of my progress, he still brings me home food that I…

Thursday's Check in Food: Breakfast - Sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich (no bread) with avocado Lunch - Spinach salad my boyfriend made me (Actually that's also what I had yesterday.

My laptop doesn't seem to like this website :-/) Food: Same as Monday (I promise Wednesday's will be more interesting) Water: Refilled my water bottle a lot during the day, but not so much later in the afternoon.

Wow I did awful with regular check ins last week. I'm not doing as great with a lot of stuff right now. I am trying to recommit thoroughly this week. Sitting down to make a meal plan soon, already got one run in and plan to get in something else later. Even more awesome, my boyfriend wants to start going on walks with me…

I had an awful headache this morning, but after taking some ibuprofen and resting, it passed. I think it may be my backsliding a bit and getting reused to my low carb diet. My body is all "What are you doing?" haha Thanks for the concern!

Thursday Check in Food: Same as before for breakfast and lunch. Boyfriend decided to surprise us for dinner and made up a bunch of stuff, of course all more carby then what I should be eating, but I still ate it. Not feeling awesome right now, but I'm not sure if it's the food or the flu shot I had today. Water: Lots of…

Hey everyone! I'm interested to see how this weekly thread thing works out. :-) In terms of exercise, I did excellent this weekend. I got in two hours yesterday - an hour of walking and an hour of zumba. This morning, I got in a half hour of walking/running. I feel like I'm finally starting to get out vacation mode. In…

I just realized I never commented yesterday. Food: All the same as before, except for dinner I had a sandwich: low carb bread with turkey, cheese, spinach, pesto, and shallots. Water: Lots and lots Exercise: Got in some walking (20 minutes) but still haven't gotten in an actual work out. I probably could have tried harder…

Name: Amanda or Mander The Why: I find that if I'm keeping track of everything, I tend to make better choices. Not always, but still - much more often than I used to. I've also come to find the community here really inspiring. Lots of great people here and so much encouragement. Favorite Halloween Costume: One year, we…

I sort of like the daily posts myself, but I'm easy so whatever works for everyone, works for me! :-) Food: Same breakfast as yesterday. Mixed it up a little by having the keilbasa casserole at lunch with a pepsi. Tonight I think I'm going to make a little flatbread pizza, maybe use some pesto sauce on it. I've had a…

Water: 8 cups Exercise: Only go a half hour of walking in today and yesterday I got in about an hour and a half of walking. (No circuit training) I would have tried to get in something…

Hello everyone! I am back from vacation and eager to get going on making some healthier choices. I started off yesterday strong, got in an hour and a half of walking in total, and kept everything low carb, but then my boyfriend brought me frosted lemon cake. Today so far: Breakfast - my standard scrambled eggs, cheese and…

Food - A sausage breakfast sandwich with some avocado slices and no bread, left over Papa John's for lunch, and for dinner I'll likely do either a sandwich with low carb bread, avocado, veganaise, cheese and turkey or leftover lasagna. Exercise - None today. Our shower was acting up and I didn't want to get all sweaty…

Food - I did ok until dinner. I had my avocado and cheese egg scramble (I highly recommend it, Strong!). Lunch was the lasagna again. But then for dinner I had Papa John's breadsticks and pizza. I also went out to a new barcade (yes, a bar/arcade) that opened recently and had a few drinks so I am sure I am over my calories…
