Diana - Thank you! And congrats on passing your goal weight! AMAZING!
CLV, Neb & Echo - Hi!
Pink - Congrats!!!
Shells - Glad you're feeling better!!! You were out for quite a while, glad you're back!
Roxanne - No worries, it's a new day, new week! Hope you're leg is feeling better!
Vixsin - Congrats on the NSV this weekend! Awesome!!!
Anajjana - Hi! Sounds like a good plan this week!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I had decided I wouldn't weigh myself but once per week...well I thought geez, I worked hard this weekend, ate lots of fruits & veggies..stayed on plan..I'll weigh myself this morning even though it's not my weekly weigh in til Wednesday. Seriously, 162.2#! This plateau is p*ssing me off! But, I read some info about plateaus, quite interesting really. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/weig...ing-ideas.html
Kelly_S posted some helpful, interesting info. So, I feel a little less p*ssed, it's still frustrating though! I guess I'm just getting too anxious to see 150-something! I haven't seen anything in the 150's since probably 2007..?
My hubby started insanity! I think this eating healthy and working out is rubbing off on him, which makes me very happy! He doesn't need to lose weigh by any means, he's a rail. But, I just want him to be healthy and in shape. He said that video (insanity) was harder than all his years of PT in the military! lol I've never seen him so pooped! I'm proud of him!
Ok, enough gabbing, here's my plan for today ladies...
B- Fiber One honey clusters w/ milk & banana cut up in it..yum! 320
Oh btw, that Fiber One cereal is pretty good...awesome w/ the banana! 16g fiber (including banana)!! I'm trying to be more conscious of eating higher fiber foods, more fruits, veggies & protein!

Echo Tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary for joining 3FC's. I remember I joined the check-in with you, Sunni, & Jen. Everyone made me feel very welcomed.
Good afternoon! Today has been on plan so far. I've had vitamins, choco-calcium ball (25 calories), breakfast and lunch.
B - 2 T natural pb & 1T organic strawberry preserves sandwich "grilled" in a non-stick skillet w/o oil or butter, 2 egg whites - 390 calories
L - 1 cup of tuna mixed with a lot of celery, 1 baby carrot shredded, garlic powder, powdered mustard and dill on 2 red lettuce leaves - approx. 180 calories
D - 4 oz. grilled turkey cutlet, 1 c. steamed broccoli, 1/3 c. cous cous - 541 calories. (I don't care for cous cous, so eating that 1/3 c. may or may not happen... I may sub something else...)
Total is approx. 1136 calories. That leaves a little room for a snack if I want one. (I have to leave a little wiggle room ) (edit: Added a Fiber One bar for 130 calories)
Diana, Echo - Aww!! How awesome for you two! I'm looking forward to my 1 year anniversary. I hope to look back and say, "Dang I'm glad I did this!" LOL
Lindsey - They guys who are deployed do P90X and insanity while they're over there. My husband said Insanity is aptly named! I'm watching fiber too. I've made that one of my "nutrient" goals on fitday, so now it logs fiber and highlights it if I get too little. (edit: after checking my own plan for the day, I was just over halfway to my goal! I worked a fiber one bar in, 130 calories, and got my fiber AND my calories where they needed to be!)

Echo - You're VERY welcome! Glad you're here. Sounds like you have a GREAT plan!
Pint - The hubby was luckily never deployed (a canceled deployment before his DOS)...but I've heard that. I know some people in his shop did P90X, he did too, but it's been forever! He and I both did SOME P90X for a while, it's definitely hard. Insanity looked harder...I just watched! I'll have to check that out on my fitday, I didn't know you could do nutrient goals! Good to know. I think I calculated about 30g of fiber today, which I think is a new high for me! How are those Fiber One bars?? Tasty? Btw, your pb & jam grilled sandwich for breakfast sounds amazing!!
Oh snap! Jillian Micheals DVDs have arrived!!!!!!!! Today I'm starting 30DS! Let's see if I can kick this plateau's a$$! lol
Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Still getting back in the habit of daily posting since being away for two weeks. Yesterday was an off eating day because I didn't plan (won't bother posting the details, but basically, too many calories, too many carbs, not enough veggies), but on track today. I haven't worked out really in the five days I've been back from vacation (bad) because I had this niggling pain in my back (I think from sleeping in a weird position for hours on the airplane) but yay, it's gone today. Planning on taking an hour long brisk walk with my SO - did I mention it's great to be back with him after being away on my trip?
Now that I'm settling back in, I'm thinking about goals. We're 7 weeks from Christmas, and in that time I want to run a 5k (got a turkey trot picked out on thanksgiving day) and I want to be at 194 by Christmas. That's about 1/2 pound loss a week. Things should be calmed down at work, and I don't have any other big trips or things planned, so hoping I can settle into a routine of slow and steady losing.
Okay, time to catch up on personals:
Lauren - you made it to the 180s while I was gone! WTG!
Lindsey - hope you enjoy 30DS. I have the video, I've never done it daily but I have done it quite a few times since it's a great way to get cardio in when I don't have a lot of time.
Diana - happy anniversary! You've come so far in a year!
Pint - congrats on staying on plan!
CLV, Neb and Echo - welcome to the thread! happy to have you!
Echo, your plan sounds solid. I try to space out carbs, also, and balance them with protein. It's so easy in the name of lower fat and calories to OD on carbs whcih makes the blood sugar and metabolism all wonky. I love your idea of not sitting for more than 1/2 hour - I try to always get up from my desk to refill my water glass - it's a reason to get up and walk, and also a way to ensure I'm getting enough liquid.
Vixsin - congrats on NSV! woot woot! I had no idea BK salad had that much sugar...geez...! Hope you can catch up on some sleep.
Hi hope everyone's having a great monday (ugh). Way to GO Diana!!
Lindsey, you are zen you can defeat the plateau. you know I'm thinking about you girl!
Roxanne, good job getting back on plan. It's always so frustrating when the universe throws these obstacles in front of us. As if weight loss wasn't hard enough already!
As for me, I'm typing this on my phone on the way to class, so I apologize if anything comes out wonky. Good day so far, the scale is still moving in the right direction.
Breakfast- sf jello boston cream pie (in love with this), teriyaki beef jerky, pomegranate
Lunch- cheese quesadilla with pico de gallo
Dinner- cheeseburger and fries not even a splurge, I'm still under calories!
I'll add exact calorie counts when I get home.
Lauren - Yes, oh snap! I was excited to get those DVDs and for Jillian to whip me into shape!
Blueridge - Thanks! So far I really like the video..first workout today! Sounds like you have awesome goals just in time for Christmas!
Munchie - Thanks girl! I just finished Day one, Level one of 30DS! It's harder than I thought. I have NEVER in my whole life been able to do a push up, so hopefully after this I can. I struggled with those. I really tried to focus on my form more than reps, but I kept up pretty good! Umm..and please share with us...what is this boston creme pie jello?! Omg, and a quesadilla w/pico! I'm jealous! I need to get some darn tortillas, I want quesadillas! lol AND 6.5# lost?! Holy crap sister! Awesome!!!!!!! Way to go!!!!
Just ordered a new scale! My scale is seriously annoying when I step on it's all over the place. The reviews on this one are awesome! It's really accurate so woo hoo!

Goodness, I don't know what was up today, but I was ravenous! I tried eating things that I thought would hold me for a while (banana, hummus, chicken, whole grains), but my stomach would be growling like crazy an hour or two after.

Exercise: 80 minutes cardio
Breakfast: 1 cup Special K red berries cereal. 1/2 cup light soy milk. Peppermint tea.
Snack: Quakes Sweet Chili, banana
