Hi all!!!!

By next week, we all need to be one pound thinner!!! This challenge is asking everyone in the 20 somethings board to discuss, day-by-day, what they did to try to achieve that goal.

Losing one pound in one week is what most nutritionists say is optimal, so we can do it!

Write down your plans here, and then, give yourself either a or a if you followed the plan. Next Friday, we will share our results.

w00t i like this. ive been at 140.4 for the past couple days. one pound will put me out of the 140's what a big difference one pound can make.

Great idea

Today is not the best for me to start writing down what I'm doing to lose since I'm currently on a train and will make some questionable choices while traveling but here goes!

Breakfast...Tim Horton's breakfast sandwich without cheese, around 500 cal. and 2903482 grams of fat, and a coffee with cream.

I'll likely have another coffee and a snack when I get off the train, and then dinner. I'm not cooking tonight so I have no idea what's on the menu. Tonight I'll have drinks with friends which will probably get me close to 2000, so this afternoon I'll try and get a run in but it's hard to say. Being away from home for a few days is going to take a bit of a toll on my efforts but fingers crossed that it doesn't stall things too much.

I'm in! This'll be a little tough to do accurately, though, as I'll be weighing in on two different scales. Right now, my aunt's scale has me at 169, meaning I'd like to be between 167 and 167.8 on my home scale come next Friday.

My plan is to keep doing 30 Day Shred, hopefully return to c25k if I get better running shoes, and eat below 900 calories every day, keeping my protein intake high (been having trouble with that the past couple days).
