I know there is a daily accountability thread to post exercise and eating plans and whatnot in the main support forum but I thought I'd ask if anyone in here wanted to do one for the 30s only. What do you think? I could really use the accountability right now and would be happy to do it here

Sure!

Here's my day, nutritionally:

Breakfast (320cals)
2 servings Honey Bunches of Oats
1c. fat free milk

Snack (150cals)
Skinny Cow Treat

Lunch (500cals)
Braeda Signature Salad, dressing on the side fork dipped
(greens w/ feta, cranberries and walnuts)

Snack (140)
Fiber One Bar

Supper (350cals)
1c. whole wheat pasta
1/2c. organic pasta sauce with a little ground beef
Steamed Broccoli

Total: 1460, target 1400

Lunch was a little heavier than normal...decided to take the kids to the book store and out to eat. No exercise for me this week. It's actually good for you to take a few days off from time to time. And...we are in a play at church this week in the evenings. It's going to be a long week.

Okay well I have admittedly had a really bad day eating wise and I'm going to start fresh tomorrow and share my plan then. Your salad sounds really good!

I'd like to join up. I need the accountability and I need someone to be able to tell me that it was a bad idea to eat the Pinky Bar, the chips AND the macadamia nuts for an afternoon snack as well as the ego caramel ice cream bar (vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate coating, caramel outside and milk chocolate coating-- very nice, very tasty and very not on plan).

I'll post my meals tomorrow night. I'm too crabby and too tired to do it tonight.

I'm in. Yesterday I was OVER about 400 calories. And under on water.

I KNOW what works... yesterday I simply refused to see past my own nose.

Today will be different.

I think we can just keep this thread going, yeah?

So here is my plan for today, for now I am not going to count calories, just watch what I eat.

Breakfast - slice of toast with butter and fruit spread, 2 eggs, sauteed spinach, used about 1 T of butter total

Snack - yogurt with raspberries

Lunch - turkey chili cheese fries with asst. veggies and fruit, I also had a bread sample at the grocery store

Snack - pistachios

Dinner - couscous with acorn squash, cranberries, and walnuts, salad on the side, also had a piece of tilapia with butter

I did my weights today, didn't walk the dogs, but am still going to karate.

Okay so I am craving sweets big time today!! I had an apple with a little bit of caramel and am now having a few spoons of ice cream. I won't eat anything else today though!!

I'm posting for the first half of tomorrow because I'm good like that. But it's all subject to change because tomorrow is licking-ice-cream-off-Dr-Reid night ... I mean, ice-cream and Criminal Minds night, so I need to burn some calories to have that ice cream.

Breakfast: 349
Spicy fruit English muffin: 178
250ml Orange juice: 106
12 g butter: 65

Morning tea: 118
Medium apple: 72
7 teddy crackers: 46

Lunch: 312 (didn't go according to my plan, but it tasted better! )
Parmesan cheese- 10g: 42
Pork tenderlion- 75g: 141
Pasta- 1/2c: 110
Tinned tomatoes- 1/3c: 19

Afternoon tea: (didn't get to it because I had a nap!)

Dinner:
100g lean lamb chop (fat and bone excluded): 216
broccoli/cauliflower medley: 47

Dessert:
Dr Reid covered in caramel sauce: dreams are free of calories!!
Ice cream bar: 341

Totals: 1383
Now, I'm going to give myself a 100 calorie overdraft since I'm not sure if the lamb is correct or not.

Today's food plan

I did 4 miles running and 1 mile walking for a total of 60 minutes, and did karate for 20 minutes. I worked in the yard a little bit too. I'm now pondering whether or not to have a bottle of stout in honor of my first corned beef dinner lol Other than that I am done for the day.

So, I just found this forum 3 or 4 days ago, the same day I started my diet. You know what I love best about this forum? When I am downstairs, (probably sitting on the couch bored) and I start wanting to snack... I just walk my happy hiney upstairs and jump on this site! It's great for motivation! Seeing y'all that have lost 60lbs, 75 lbs, 150 lbs!!! It's very encouraging when I am about to slip into an Oreo inebriation. Thank y'all for the words of wisdom!

Hi lovely ladies in your 30's! My name is Micki, I had been hanging out in a Belly Fat Cure thread under Other Carbs reduction diets, and I stopped doing That because it wasn't working for me, I need a new place to check in with everyday! Can I join in with accountability?

I just like having a place to go where I can change my S/C/G numbers! ;o)

Oh, and 3 squares of a bar of organic dark chocolate with hazelnut pieces in it. OM...I stood in line way to long at the natural grocery waiting to buy my organic bananas with no food in my stomach. At least I didn't eat the whole bar!!

Not sure where I end up fpr the day, but likely landed around my goal of 1400.
