So my biggest problems with Weight Loss have been:

1) I hate doing it alone (since my husband and bff can eat whatever they want and gain no weight i usually do lol)

2) I HAVE to have accountability and/or see results
(this is why i decided to add the picture side of this...accountability)

3) I try to do fad diets. instead of relearn how to live

4) I eat late at night rather than stopping at 5 or 6 in the p.m

So welcome to the contest. Lets find our own Biggest Loser!

Week of April 24-30--WEEK 1

To help execute my vision i decided to do an example and start the very first post.

First we write the first week's challenge: 
Write down EVERYTHING you eat this week. 
The first rule of weight loss to be honest with yourself

Food Ideas: 
(taken from various weight loss websites...i have found that when i diet it is important i don't starve myself...fads don't work for me. instead i have to change how i eat and portion size. I also have found replacing sodas with water, crystal light, or flavored carbonated water helps me too)

Breakfast idea of the week
High Fiber Oatmeal and/or Yogurt and a fruit

Lunch idea of the week
Lowfat lunch meat with avocado or tomato on wheat bread or flatbread
or
Salad with lots of fresh veggies and low fat dressing

Dinner idea of the week
Grilled chicken with yummy seasonings and a veggie
or
substitute chicken with fish (you can buy frozen tilapia filets easy to cook)

Snack Ideas: rice crackers, pickles (almost NO calories), carrot sticks, celery



And here comes the accountability we will post the BEFORE scale pix and body pix (body pix optional) on Saturday the 23rd then do our first weigh in on the 30th! 
(you can email your pix to memoriesremixed@gmail.com)

So here goes:

    Another tip for salads - you can still get unwanted and unnecessary calories and fat from low fat dressings (though the dressing really is what makes the salad, isn't it?). To avoid these, but still get the taste you want, dip your fork in dressing and let the excess drip off a bit before loading up your fork with a bite. The dressing on the fork will be more than enough for that one bite and you'll use maybe a tenth of what you would've used without feeling deprived.

    So I am in. I don't have much to lose. But I want to feel good and look good. I eat horribly and I don't exercise near enough. Not sure I will post my picture, but I weigh 152 and would like to get down to about 140 or just look super hot. Let's Do this!! No more cakes Jessa!!! ha

    Hmm.... I am gross.
    But, I think our variety of scales is kind of fun and fresh.
