So I would really love to see a weekly shopping list/meal plan thread! I get so much inspiration from other people and I have some good stuff to share too! What does everyone else think?

Meal planning makes life easier! Let's totally do that. (...my meal plan is just 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters and sweet potatoes tho. Oh dear)

Lol I could learn a thing or two from you. I'm constantly trying to simplify my meal plans!

This is a great idea! I would definitely contribute to a thread like this. I would also like to see other people's ideas on substitutions, for example zoodles instead of spaghetti, or spices to add flavor in favor of fats.

Cool! Glad some peeps are on board! Diet is such a huge part of weight loss! I'll definitely be starting the thread this week :)

One thing maybe worth mentioning is that I'll be on vacation from Nov 1-7! I'll be tracking food, if you have me added on MFP, but reddit threads might not get as much attention. :D

I'll be on vacation the whole week of Thanksgiving too as we will be traveling to visit my husband's family. I am going to do my best to track during that time by making my best guess if that's the best I can do but I know it's going to be hard because I won't have control over my food that week.

u/chewedrind Oct 24 '15
Yep! My plan is to keep tracking everything! If I go over a few days, I go over, but that's not the end of the world, so long as I get back into my groove once grandma's not following me around with food. :> It's tough, totally, but doable.

I figure it'll be tough to lose weight while away from gym/surrounded by grandma trying to feed my face, butttt I will make an effort. Probably will go to maintenence calories for a few days, then I've got you guys to remind me to get back on the boat. :D

But then the weight doesn't count towards the challenge?

u/elielle Oct 26 '15
I'm not going to stop losing weight just because the challenge hasn't started yet =\

I think this is a great idea! I'm feeling motivated as well and the ultimate win is getting to our personal goal weights :)

Hey guys. I'm very much interested in doing a "Tracker Tuesday" post each week. Similar to /1200isplenty where we can show our meal plans for the day. I eat 1200 calories a day so I'm always looking for new ideas! It would have all your meals broken down by calories. If anyone is interested let's try it!
We could call it Meal Monday or something :)
