Monday: 1757 calories, 80oz of water, 30DS Level 2 Day 9 <<then I ate about 12 pizza rolls & a Cream soda!
Tuesday: 1760 calories, 50oz of water, 30DS Level 2 Day 10

Thursday:
Friday: ate a lot, no water, no exercise

Hi New Friends - I can't think of a better way to get started (this is my first time newly registered on 3FC ... I was a regular poster about 10 years ago!). I am in flux as to which weight loss approach I want to follow, but I am most familiar with Weight Watchers, and have mapped out my points via the "Wendie plan" for the week. I'm challenging myself to stay with it through the week (Mon-Sun). My daughter gave me a recumbant bike and thanks to THIS thread and all ya'll on it, I am committing to 1/2 hour on it every single day.
I think once I am on track and reach my first goal (ONEDERLAND) I will explore other options that I have also tried in the past (calorie counting and intuitive eating, among others). ANYTHING will work if you work it... I have to get into the right frame of mind to work it! This challenge is just the right thing.

Welcome Samida, you seem to be off to a good start. Good luck this week!
And hi everyone else! I actually did ok today. I usually give myself extra calories on Mondays, and I only went over by 200. Need to up the water intake.
Hope you are all enjoying getting ready for Christmas. Be sure to check in everyday so we can keep each other accountable.
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Tomorrow is going to be a tough one and the next will be the mother of all tests.
Turns out there is such a thing as organic brownies. Why does putting the word organic in front of something make me feel better, they are still 220 calories a piece. Is it a bad sign if I plan on staying up until midnight to eat my first brownie of the day so I can track it on TDP for wednesday in good conscience.

Ahhhh! I love it! I totally have days like that. It's annoying.
Tomorrow is gonna be tough. We have a tradition that I am bringing to my husband's family of having Santa bring Cinnabon's on Christmas morning so I am going to pick them up tomorrow & do a little shopping in Denver. I know I'm gonna want to eat like a pig, but I have had 3 bad days in a row. I'm really gonna have to pound the water this week if I want to at least stay at 183, let alone try & get down to 182.
Good luck, girls! I am struggling, but at least I have to admit my mistakes to ya'll!
Yesterday went extremely well just a few baked chips and 100 calorie chocolate snack. Other than that every meal was OP. I think what helped me survive this week was allowing myself to increase calories. The scale didn't move but thats not a bad thing b/c it didn't go up. I hope everyone had a wonderful day.
5 Day OP Challenge #7
I did so bad!
Great way to get started
