Come on LSasha help me out. I don't get to weight in until next year and when I go back I want to be in the 3's. I am not a "resolution" person, so instead of waiting until next year, let's practice the protien train. This is where you do "atkins" LOL, you cut back your carbs and load on protien. I don't have to have bread but I do like my sugar.

I believe the rules are 1 leafy green veg a day and Protein for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I believe the carb limit is suppose to be 20. If you go over it or if you don't eat right post it. We are here to support each other and accountability is key, therefore, let's be honest.

Personally I am not going to do this everyday but people seem to do it 1 week at a time. My excuse is that I need to go to the grocery store and I will not be going back into a grocery store until mid next week.

Yeahhhh I have company on the train:Banane57:

I think I will try to join ya... I just gotta write me up some meal plans that will work for me (i am a funny eater) I'd like to lose 10 pounds in a week. Yeahhhh.
