I’m feeling somewhat better today despite the dog waking me up at 2 AM this morning. I’m already working on my steps and liquids and have decided that today is the day I will get my weekly pledge done.
My last two week’s pledges were to add complex carbs to my food plan. That DIDN’T work out for me. The grains and starchy vegetables made my pouch…[Read more]

I’m not sure if you noticed this event on the site, but I wanted to let you know what it is and how it works!
The bi-annual FNC Self-Evaluation will happen twice a year. The first one will be in September. (Click here to go to the event on our event calendar, where you can also put it on your own personal calendar!)

Have you heard of it? If not, check it out!
It’s a national research project that studies the habits of people who successfully lose weight and maintain weight loss. You can even join the study to add your voice to others!
But I thought I’d show you this page in particular, which are some of the habits of people in the study. Can you relate to…[Read more]

Konica said it all. I’ll just add that 5 kilometerds = 3.2 miles.
I’ll let you determine if that’s too much for where you are right now BUT I will say that I’m very passionate about there not being any speed requirements to do this. So you don’t have to walk fast!

Somehow my life went haywire and I don’t even know how. Sigh.
But here’s the rub…it’s both in GOOD and BAD ways.
Good = I got a promotion at work! Yay! (This means more money and, finally, doing the stuff I love to do)
Bad = some money that was owed to me and promised to me last week STILL has not come through so I have to hustle to make sure…[Read more]

Oh Robin, I’m sorry to hear about the stress! I think it’s good that you are thinking about how it will impact you (even though that’s probably stressful). You know what I say…preparation, preparation, preparation!
I think you’ve set forth some very realistic goals so I look forward to hearing how it all goes. I’ll check on you mid-week!

WOOHOO! (I never had any doubts, but I’m happy that you’re happy!)

I hope you’re having a great vacation!
Carry a bottle of water with you in your bag everywhere you go!
When I was at OAC I carried my Ulla (here’s a link to what that is) and it reminded me to drink! But in the absence of that I’d just carry a bottle wherever you go and set reminders throughout the day to SIP!
I know you’ve got this. Can’t wait…[Read more]

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Maria's plan 8/13 – 8/19 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
I think you’ve got a challenge ahead of you, but certainly not one that’s insurmountable!
One good approach to take is to do what you’ve been doing – planning out your meals – and then looking at the meals you like with the intention of making them fit your requirements (not the other way around, trying to find recipes that fit your requirements…[Read more]

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Beth's week 8/13-19 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
I like that your goal is to search out, but then your actual goal to make something is related to one recipe! I was thinking as I read “she’s going to try ALL those new recipes in a week?” Nope! Because you’re savvy, you are taking a step by step approach. Love it!
Be sure to post any good recipes you find in the recipe swap forum!

Woot! I’ll be checking in with you in a few days to see how it’s going but I know you can do it!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Kathys plan week of aug 13 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
Those last two I really want you to concentrate on!
Let me know how the “water for coffee” thing works out for you. I can tell you my first two attempts at it didn’t go so great but the third time must be a charm because I’ve been sticking to it (even did at OAC).

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Elyssa's Plan for Week of 0814 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 3 months ago
Woot! You can do it.
Question: Have you worked out what you’ll be eating this week? Carbs can be sneaky suckers, so planning ahead is essential to limiting your carbs.
Let me know if you need any help!

I’m feeling completely exhausted today and am having trouble getting anything accomplished. Steps are getting done little by little and so are my liquids. I think that I’m going to lay down for a hour.
Breakfast – breakfast chili
Lunch – stuffed avocado
Dinner – chili dog with no bun (different chili than at breakfast)
- Snacks- Celebrate…

Great plan! Did you ever find out if that worksheet is available anywhere? I’d love to post it in here. If not, I can definitely search for it. 🙂

Robin Miller replied to the topic Today – 0814 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 3 months ago
Today is busy for me. Grocery shopping and then prepping some breakfasts and lunches for the week. Laundry (because I didn’t get it done yesterday due to cuddling my 4 month old grandson) and trying to make a dent in cleaning out my bedroom. Steps and liquids will find a place in there somewhere!
Breakfast – Click protein coffee
Lunch – Stuffed…[Read more]

I have no idea what today is going to bring! I’m hoping to get to the grocery store today because I’d really like some salmon for dinner, but I don’t know if that will happen. We’re keeping one of the grandsons this afternoon and evening. Not the “never slow down” two year old but little four month old Jackson! We have plans to go look at new…[Read more]
