I hit goal as defined by my clinic for my age group. 35% fat in the 41 to 50 age group, does not correspond to BMI.
Lost 2 pounds todays WI
So coach was happy, we have together decided to hit it hard for 2 more weeks of phase 1, week of phase 2, 2 weeks of phase 3 followed by vacation to costa rica.
FINALLY!!!! I HIT ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!! I'm 199.75, but heck, I'll take it!

I am! I registered for one in September, but I may do one or two over the summer. I'm also doing a 20 mile walk for hunger in May. Depending on how much I love/hate the running I may do the local St Patricks Day half marathon next year - gotta have goals!!!

So happy
Today was WI for me and -4 pounds and 2 1/2 inches!! I was very happy because I started the C25K last week and walked on a few other days. I was afraid it would slow me down a little but it didn't. I know the time will come when it will catch up and I am good with it, I am fine with lower loss and more muscle.
Great WI!! Keep up the good work> Hope mine is that good in about an hour

Day one went well. Thought I might have ate my arm at some points, but I didn't. Day two, much better on the hunger front, but I got a headache and am so drained and tired. I sure hope tomorrow will be better in that regards because a classroom full of 7 year olds, after two days off, is not going to be fun!!
My first WI I lost 14 and I was committed. I go for my 2nd WI tomorrow and hope to have lost at least 1 but I am most excited about seeing how many inches I have lost. I will check in tomorrow evening to give a status. Hope everyone has a great day!
Congrats on an awesome first week, 14 pounds is crazy!

I just ate my dinner, which was cod that I baked and topped with a little Italian seasoning and a lot of Thyme, I covered it completely with the Thyme so it was like a little crust. I took 1 tsp of butter and dotted it over the top (you could use Olive oil, but I prefer the taste of butter for fish). I then squeezed lemon all around the fish so it cooks in a bit of liquid. That's a trick I learned from a restaurant I worked in..you could use a little water instead if you don't like lemon, but the flavor from lemon is great.
For chicken you can cook same way using your favorite spices, I like rosemary and thyme, if cooking a whole chicken I dust ground sage over it as well and stick a lemon in the cavity, salt and pepper and roast it up.
Another really great chicken dish is to make a 'mock' marsala. Using a tsp of olive oil, brown your chicken breasts in a saute pan. Then take them out and let rest on a plate. To the saute pan add one cup of sliced mushrooms and your second tsp of olive oil (or butter). Let cook for a few minutes, then add two tablespoons of fat free beef broth (you could use chicken, but beef gives a richer flavor for this). Let it reduce a little, then add a hint of trivia for a bit of sweetness if you like or a tsp of marsala wine. (there's less than one carb in a tsp of marsala). pour over the chicken.
You could make a similar sauce for chicken piccata using lemon juice and chicken broth after sauteeing the chicken. That's really good too.

Nice job!! Can't wait til I can get there!! (Your post also got me thinking about what might be a *reasonable* fat percentage for someone my age ... Off to Google.... )
Congrats to all you IP newbies. Keep up the good work! The key really is staying 100% OP.
