*Where do you find support on your weight loss journey?
Right here! I also have long-time WW friends on fb and a couple of ProBoards threads.
*Is there something you could add to your life that would make you more successful? (ex. a friend/coach, a daily/weekly check in, exercise buddy, etc.)?
I think an exercise buddy might help me stick to my walking schedule. A daily check-in might also be helpful.
*This Week’s Routine: (1) Eat veggies fruit with every meal and snack
I already do this with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don't snack much during the day, but when I do I usually have a fruit or veggie. My regular snack is one piece of delicious dark chocolate after dinner.
*GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 6 8oz glasses - Water is the best choice.
I drink several mugs of coffee and tea every day, but I also drink 4-5 glasses of water per day by keeping a 20 oz. glass always beside me, even in the car. I just go by the color of my urine. As long as it's almost clear, I'm getting enough liquids.
*Meal of the Week: Lunch What are you having for lunch?
Today I had grilled shrimp and veggies--broccoli, cauliflower, yellow squash, zucchini and carrots--topped with a little shredded mozzarella cheese. It was leftover from Saturday's lunch out. I also had a banana and a container of greek yogurt. Tomorrow, I plan to have Light Progresso soup--probably Bacon & potato--with half a ham sandwich on Dave's Killer bread (thin-slice), baby carrots and a Satsuma from our tree.

- Where do you find support on your weight loss journey? The boards are the best place for support. I sorely miss the newbie boards. Newbies were the only ones gutsy enough to whine - in writing - the same things I was thinking. I always got an indirect KITA from that. I also turn to my husband. He's a thin person but he loves me and is often all the pep talk I need to get back on track.
- Is there something you could add to your life that would make you more successful? (ex. a friend/coach, a daily/weekly check in, exercise buddy, etc.)? I have a weekly check-in of my weight, but it would be better to check in with someone on a weight loss journey and really get into the nitty gritty.
- This Week’s Routine: (1) Eat veggies fruit with every meal and snack I'm still so bad at this. I have been doing better, but I slip back into autopilot too easily. I need to snap myself out of it. Like for dinner, I had macaroni and cheese, I had cut up veggies in the fridge, did I even think to pull them out? No.
- GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 6 8oz glasses - Water is the best choice. Terrible at this one too. I need to fill my tumbler and just take it with me. Maybe an alarm in the morning until it becomes a habit?
- What are you having for lunch? I was smart enough to hard boil some eggs so I am alternating between having them on my salad - which is divine - and an egg salad sandwich. Yum!

- Where do you find support on your weight loss journey? Online in groups like this one and also with my sister
- Is there something you could add to your life that would make you more successful? (ex. a friend/coach, a daily/weekly check in, exercise buddy, etc.)? Maybe a group that weighs in weekly to report to...one that I felt compelled to do well for in addition to doing well for myself. Meetings help but have not attended one in the USA for years (haven't been in the USA) and there are none here.
This Week’s Routine: (1) Eat veggies fruit with every meal and snack I am working on this oneo
GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 6 8oz glasses - Water is the best choice. This is a habit....don't have to think about it any more.
Meal of the Week: Lunch What are you having for lunch? Sometimes I make something new but often it is leftovers. It might be:
* bean burger on bun with veggies and fruit * grain with veggies and beans or TVP * mjudra and cabbage salad
* soup and sandwich * or something else - used too like a baked potato but haven't had one in awhile
Recipe of the Week: Veggie Burger (7PP)
Here is the bean burger recipe that I use as my base and sometimes vary...easy
Economical Veggie Burgers (credited to Dave Walls of Annandale, VA)
1 can Pinto Beans (15 oz) 1/2 cup Quick Oats 1 tablespoon "Spike" seasoning 2 1/2 oz water
Rinse off beans to reduce sodium content, if desired. Mash with fork to desired consistency. Add oats and Spike seasoning. Add water and mix with a fork. You can add more oats or water to get the consistency you want. Form into patties. Fry on Pam sprayed or non-stick pan (recipe said lightly oiled fry pan) until lightly browned. Add condiments as desired. Patties can be wrapped and frozen. Adding a few extra spices in this mix won't hurt, try dumping some salsa in for an extra kick, or some fresh veggies such as onions, mushrooms and peppers. These can be whipped up in about 20 minutes. Cheap, easy, tasty and healthy.
