It looks like everyone is doing so well....except me! I guess I am not doing badly, just not good. I have lost nothing! But it's only been a week. My time will come.

Hopefully I'll lose another 1/2 pound by weigh-in day.

I'm off to my first grocery shopping trip since starting the WISH challenge. Wish me luck!

I'm planning on packing lunch this week. (I'm a school lunch lady, so I usually don't have to. I must say, though, that a lot of our menu items are truly not THAT bad for you as opposed to other schools.) I do a lot of packing my version of bento boxes. If you haven't ever heard of it, it's a Japanese way of packing lunches. While I am in total AWE of some of the creative ways I've seen REAL bento lunches posted online (Some are decorated to look VERY fancy and look like cartoon characters, flowers, etc.), I have adapted it to be much simpler for myself. In all, I make sure that my lunch has a MINIMUM of five colors represented. It also has to fit into the Tupperware container I have chosen. This means I NEVER pack a whole sandwich. It also means I don't just have one big container of one type of food. Having so much of a variety of foods represented means I'm hardly ever bored with my food choices and I get lots of diversified vitamins and minerals, kwim? It really helps me get a physical boost for the day, and I feel good knowing I didn't eat too many carbs... or not enough of fruits and veggies.

A Bento box is a great idea! Please give me some examples of what you put in it?

I hope this year to be around 200 205 area by my 43rd bday but for sure I would like to drop 20 pounds sooner than later. I gained 12 pounds over xmas and right now 1 pound lighter would be better than the way I feel right now.

Hi I'd also like to join as I'd like to loose another 20lbs before the end of the year. I haven't been on this forum before but am quite excited about it , it seems a fun place to be and I've decided that when I want to eat something I shouldn't I'll just get onto Disboards and read a few threads to give me a bit of encouragement. Thanks for being there its great.
