I think once school starts it will make it a lot more easy to lose weight too. As long as I bring my own food with me, and don't bring money so i can't buy fast food when all my friends do.

Thanks all, keep em coming.

No i'm not vegetarian, thanks for the quick reply and the ideas, i am writing a grocery list right now! I love whole wheat pitas and hummus i will try them together!

Yeah, i just wish school wasn't starting up so soon so i could lose more weight, but i am not gonna push it. I am just fearful that once i start school i will gain all the weight back like i did last year.. But that was different so i don't think its gonna happen. I am just gonna stay active and pack my own food so i don't mess myself up.

So my calorie coach says i am expected to reach my goal by December 26, but i am sure i can reach it by christmas. Does anyone else feel they can reach their final goal by christmas? I am not sure who in this group wants to reach their goal by christmas or who is just trying to lose their first 25 by christmas.

K its weigh in day-

Last week weight 136.2
This week weight 134.8
Total lost this week: 1.4 lbs

I have offically lost ten pounds i started at 144.8.

Taykaybelle- Once i go back to school i am going to bring lunch also. I recently bought some containers to store foods in for while i am out. As for foods to put in them i like whole wheat pita sandwiches with tuna fish or peanut butter with sugar free apricot preserves, oh my gosh this is such a treat to me! lol Have you ever made oven fried chicken? I use fiber one cereal and corn flakes for the coating. To make the coating stick i use fat free buttermilk. Then you drizzle with olive olive right before stick it in the oven. I find that chicken breast on the bone doesn't dry out compared to boneless chicken breast. You just jave to cook a bit longer. About going to parties, just eat in moderation. Or stick to what you know isn't bad like fruit, veggies and just eat moderation everything else. ONLY HAVE ONE PIECE OF CAKE! lol But that one is pretty obvious.

To everyone else, how is your week going? Are you finding it hard/easy? Are you making healthy choices? Have you ate something you regret? Done something you regret? Did you exercise this week? If so what did you do?

Taykaybelle- You sound like a busy girl! lol Its good that you have so many interests. Colleges will love you! And i am glad we share a common interest of cooking. Studying abroad is my goal as well. Someday i would love to live in Paris.

So this is too everyone, what are some of the healthy snacks and other foods you eat now that you are trying to lose.

Some of my favorite healthy foods are:
-Greek yogurt or light and fit yogurt
-Fruits! Right now i have been eating a lot of grapes and melon
-Salads (some of my favorites are greek salad or asian style)
-I like anything with lots of fiber, it keeps me full
-Lean cuisines ( i know the sodium isn't great but i still try to stay under my amount)
-Luna bars (peppermint chocolate is very good)

I don't do sports very often, although i love playing volleyball for fun with friends. I like to run, on occasion. I actually wanted to try ballet, but i feel like i would be starting to late (i mean like every person i know that does it has been doing it since they are like 2!) Friday weigh in days are perfect for me since i already weigh in on fridays!

I guess my modivation is to feel better about myself and be healthier altogether. I have poor self esteem issues =[.

Well a little bit more about me, i have a great support system. A lot of my friends are trying to become more healthy. Also i love to cook, its one of my passions, i want to go to paris to study classical french cuisine.

What about you guys? What is a little of your story?
