Nice job, marlene!

Great goals, shrinkiningMe!

Glad you had a good evening, sum!so what are these California wraps that you've been having lately?

Good day for me yesterday. Still dropping my travel bloat, thankfully. 158.9 thus AM.

[Sum38]

They are lettuce leaves filled with ham, turkey, tomato, avocado and tiny bit of ranch dressing. They are quite filling and south beach approved.

BTW, I love your new avi; you always have the best avis!

[newleaf123]

Thanks, sum! those wraps sound good! Nice tobe having avocado in the dead of winter... Yum!

Starting slowly but moving in the right direction. Have done sit-ups 2 days in a row and while not on plan yet, thinking more about food choices. Learning a lot from the comments here, and find that posting is a very good motivator. Weight was the same this morning.....will need to get that moving asap.

haggis posting here is a very good motivator, I agree. Even at my busiest, I try to pop in for at least a check in. My experience has been that when I go away for good, it's because I've thrown in the towel. Don't want to ever do that again...

Started at 166.4 yesterday (I don't weigh in on most DownDays)

Today is a DownDay so I will be eating very simply/minimally today.

Breakfast:
Coffee with soy milk
Supplements
Psyllium husks drink

Lunch:
Hard boiled egg
Vegetable broth

Supper:
Egg beaters omelette 1/3 cup
Vegetable broth

I know it seems like too little but the point of JUDDD/IF is to alternate days of near-fasting with high calorie days. It's a kind of calorie cycling. I can look forward to a higher calorie day tomorrow!

Exercise:
Bosu balance squats
Weights - arms/shoulders
10 minute abs video
Walking the dog tonight, 2 miles ~ with weights

Greetings, All! I hope it isn't too late to join in on this IF challenge. With Valentine's Day coming up as well as a wedding in six months, I'm super motivated to lose the 25 I've packed on in the last five years. IF sounds like a good way to go about it---and sounds maintainable as well!

[TwynnB]

Good morning chicks! Sum38, that wrap sounds yummy. Thanks for the reminder on those.
