I went out to eat tonight on a date with my wife. I ordered green beans instead

of the french fries (I did snag a few of hers) even though I REALLY wanted to just get french fries. Yes, the green beans were cooked in garlic butter, but I at least made a slightly healthier choice.

I did go over my calories today a little, but I'm not sweating it too much. Still far fewer calories than I usually have been eating. I'm trying to make better choices, while also being realistic about life.

So my original idea was to use this thread as updates/motivation. Do we want to

Either works for me. Let’s get some more signed up!

I've had at least 30 ask for the link. We'll see if they join by tonight.

cougaman

In reading the rules, you can join the game up to 14 days into the challenge...

cougaman

Can you repost to the main board tonight with the link?

tander123

8/5/19 5:25pm

I feel like I've been posting a lot, but 1 more time won't hurt, right?

I had about 24 oz of Mtn Dew I found today, from what I left from last week.

I avoided 3 boxes of doughnuts yesterday. You can do it!!

I confess, I had my first weak moment today. BUT... I am back on track! Admin

tander123

8/7/19 6:31pm

That is different though. I can go get a McFlurry every day. If it was a

durandal

That's the key. It's unsustainable if you aren't realistic. You can do it for a

cougaman

8/7/19 9:27pm

Funny story.

fldnstrm

8/7/19 8:53pm

Yeah, we would have finished those off on Sunday in our house

cougaman

Can I still join?

jvquarterback

8/8/19 10:27pm

Yes

fldnstrm

8/8/19 10:37pm

Yes, you are a few days behind, so might be tougher to get your 4%goal weight,

cougaman

CHEAT DAY!!

How's everyone doing? I've managed to stay below calorie goal all days but one

I've been pretty close to my calories most days. Probably gone over by about 200

I missed dinner last night, but later felt a need for a protein fix.

cougaman

So I have been pretty good, portion control and cutting out crap.

fldnstrm

8/13/19 10:54am

Dang man, 13 lbs in a week?! Good for you.

durandal

8/13/19 11:02am

Don't worry about your weight compared to others. You are in a different spot

cougaman

8/13/19 11:15am

Agreed. I think more than anything, like cougaman said its mostly water weight.

fldnstrm

8/13/19 4:21pm

I don't think too much too fast on week 1 is a thing. Most of it is water weight

cougaman

8/13/19 11:12am

I'm doing OK.

jvquarterback

8/13/19 12:00pm

Plugging away. About 34% of the way there
