So I figured we needed to build on our challenge so every week i will be challenging our group on one part of the entire picture of successful weight loss. Planning, Exercise, Diet, Mindset and Rewards and the final week we will be challenged to put it all together for our final push.

the participants in our challenge are as follows behind each person's name is the number of pounds that you need to lose each week to meet the challenge goal you sent me

this weeks challenge is about planning. if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. so take a second and plan the remainder of this week thru sunday. either meal by meal or just a general eating plan ie: i will follow phase 1 of fat smash. u can post your plan here for the week or daily. but put it out there so we can see it girl! we need to encourage each other. and if you know u want to eat some bbq etc...plan it! then its not a huge issue. of course along with your meals plan your workouts! so if you know u are going to eat that bbq u can plan some time with the good ole stairmill!

weight loss is all about planning ladies. how many times have u been caught in the mcdonalds drive thru because u failed to plan. didnt thaw the chicken or forgot you worked a double shift?? we can get through this part we just gotta do it! now go! lets rock this challenge ladies!

caliyah! welcome!

sooo here is my plan for the week:

t- 60 minutes with PT
w - 45 minutes cardio
r - 45 minutes cardio
f - 45 minutes cardio
s - 60 minutes with PT
sun - rest

meal plan: FS PH 1, 90oz. of h2o

will post menu daily

B- cheerios, milk, banana and cantaloupe
l - turkey sandwich on whole wheat with salad and tomatoes
d-shrimp, salad, veggies and sweet potato

The planning challenge is very hard for me this week, because I'm going on vaca from Thursday- Sunday. Meals will be sporadic, no exercise facilities, and I'll be surrounded by people who are eating all sorts of deliciousness (I'm week, I know).

Hmm, maybe I do need a plan to get through it and not gain like five pounds in four days!

So here is the plan:

1) Eat only three meals a day, and two snacks.
a) One of those three meals must be a salad, or a dish with only veggies, meat and cheese, devoid of any high carb product
b) No snack should be over 300 calories
c) only ONE dessert/ sweet item (so its either the cheesecake of the frappachino (NOT both!)


2) Only one alcoholic beverage per day, if any. Preferably wine and nothing too sugary

3) Try to do at least two miles of walking on Friday and Saturday

4) Get my mind in gear to start back on Monday!!!!

yay shauna! way to plan!

where is everyone?!?

b- cheerios, banana, milk and two slices low sodium bacon
s- honeydew melon
l-beans, brown rice and green beans
s-orange
d-tilapia with veggies

45 minutes cardio on my own

Hi Ladies, I would like to join - I will officially start next week if it's OK. I've already started my Turbo Jam workout series, and TRYING to eat the fat smash way, but it's not going so well. This thread will help keep me motivated!
