READY...SET!

Checkin here daily--done!
Weigh daily--done!
Track food--logged my daily plan on myfitnesspal.com
Drink water regularly--over 64 ounces thus far
Exercise daily....20minute power walk in....
ZERO sweets....sitting 12 feet from GIANT bag of Snickers and M&Ms and two cherry pies at work.....HAD NOTHING
One protein drink as substitute meal daily....DONE

THOUGHTS:

Jazzed about the accountability here.  I'm starting a five-day super-low carb "detox," and I'm ready for it.  I'm not a huge fan of protein drinks mainly because I don't like sweets all that much.  But, I need the simplicity of just drinking a couple of meals versus the temptation of more variety for a few days.  I'm hoping to see some positive results between this and the amped exercise.  YAH US!!!!

I like what Cindy said..."stable weight"........that's really food for thought for me.....I don't see me anywhere near stable right now.  One trip...BAM....5-10 POUNDS.....I need to find my sweet spot and level off. 

I love it!!  You sound so enthused!!  It is catchy...

Go for it honey, you can do it!

I look forward to hearing how it goes for you later today!  Check back anytime for support or to update things as you acheive them.

Hugs,

Cindy

OK, I am going to borrow from all.....

  Check in as possible: Done
  Weigh each day: 128 lbs
  Eat 3 meals & 3 snacks (Balanced): In progress
  Begin to Exercise:  ???
  Vitamins & Supplements:  Done

I have not exercised since starting this process.  It is something I really need to begin, expecially at my age.  I want to concentrate on strength building and core balance.

I would like to lose 10 lbs. below my goal weight to allow for a weight range 118 - 128 lbs.

Cool!  Sounds wonderful.

Start slow and small with the exercise, once it is a habit, increase from, don't go all out or you probably won't stick with it.  The main thing at this point is to get moving and keep moving...  good luck honey!

And I think it is a very good idea to provide a buffer below your goal weight... so much easier to stay within a range.

Hugs,

Cindy

p.s.  btw you have two tickers, both say the same thing, and they are separated by a whole bunch of spaces...

morning/afternoon everyone. im checking in.

continue my clean eating, im being really strict with really low carb for the next two weeks to see where i end up.

no pb
no cake
no desert

vitamins first lot taken

exercise need to get back into it..

im not expecting my weight to be stable it just does not do that, it bounces up and down depending what im eating and how much salt in my food. but as long as i can stay in my lower range and not in the high range or above ill be happy..

my plan if i can get back to my preferred goal is to do one "protein only" day a week to hopefully help keep me in my prefered goal range.
