I can't believe the changes we have seen in our relationship just in 1 week of doing this also the change in the number on the scale as well. we were both very pleased with that this week .All our hard work is paying off and in 1 week we were both able to lose almost the amount we set for the entire month.

(Oh, and I know some of you know I don't have a tolerance for Gluten (wheat)so you are wondering why that is all I am eating.. well I have an even worse intolerance for white flour and white sugar..therefore I am eating all wheat cutting out white sugar and white flour as much as possible)

This is a ton of preperation but it's been fun learning to measure everything and learning new recipes to make with Steve

Yummy menu! I am proud of you! This is stupid but I read that you cook you egg in the microwave and I've heard a lot of stories recently about people getting burned doing this, so please be careful!

This is awesome, Katie! Way to go. Did you decide to count calories? Your menu plan gave me some good ideas, thanks! How do you make the Crock Pot Picante Chicken?
