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

    * 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?

  • AJ - Tell me to buzz off if you don't want feedback on your meal plan. Just following up from other threads. It looks like your calories are really low. I wonder if that's part of your problem? Can you get Greek yogurt where you live? That would be really good on your lunch salad and would add a little more protein. That and maybe some hummus with your afternoon celery might help you feel more satisfied. Just a thought
  • Day 1 of Phase 1 for me.

    Later:
    S: skim latte

  • CyndiM- I always want feedback! I wonder... this is a pretty typical day so I bet that is a prob. Thank you! Is greek yogurt anything like real yogurt? taste wise?
  • Greek yogurt isn't too much of a stretch from sour cream, that's why I thought of your lunch. It is much thicker than regular yogurt and higher protein. It makes a great dessert treat with some sf syrup, or pb, sf sweetener & a little cocoa.
