  • It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan!

    Quote:
    • Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
    • This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.
    • Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
    • While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.
    So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?
  • After almost two weeks of nibbling on food my plan for today is:
    B: two eggs with one slice of flax bread
    L: cabbage soup and maybe some cottage cheese with 1/2 apple
    S: 1/2 of yogurt with walnuts and agave nectar
    S: vegetarian chili.
    S: 1/2 apple with almond butter

    Also trying to get in about 1`/2 of walking

    take care

  • Laurie, on your mini goal!!!

    Heidi, on already making your Christmas goal!

    I'm having a week of trying not to fall to OP temptations-too many triscuits is a big one for me. I prepped up my fav salad fixins yesterday which really helps. Much better to have an extra salad that jump into the triscuit box!

    Today is knitting with the Church ladies-always goodies, but I think I'll take SF Hot Apple Cider for anyone who wants and that should resolve my temptations there.
