Hi everyone,

3rd AMAW/CAMAW was a great success!  I am so thrilled how well you all did and how much everyone seemed to have "learned" from this challenge and each other!  We had a lot of newbies join us this time and I am so pleased to see how you all realized that eating dense protein even after you have put on a few pounds or let the carbs creep back in can really help.  A lot of you became aware how our "tool" still works if you just follow the "protein forward" rule.  Dense Protein is where its at!! 

Jan 16th - 20th, 2017 Winners are:

AMAW

AMAW King: Grim Traveller 

AMAW Queen: Kat W.

Honourable mention goes to Daffodilgirl 

CAMAW

CAMAW King - cc583 

Honorable mention goes to AlanG 

CAMAW Queen - Emiepie

Honourable mentions goes to Cathy V. & Pokemom

Here is how you all did (after my final tally we had 50 participants signed up!):

For the Queens - Congrats a bouquet of "Chocolate dipped bacon roses"

For the Kings - Congrats a bouquet of "Meat Roses"

Until the next AMAW/CAMAW which we are planing for after Easter stay meaty my friends!

I Love AMAW, I lost a total of 4.7 pounds for the week and loved that it cuts the carb cravings and how

much dense protein keeps me full for hours!

kakesie

Thrilled she did CAMAW, and it has restarted her loss again and lost 5 lbs,  realized carbs (& protein bars)

have come back into her diet recently.  Had a bit of carb withdrawal after day 1 but it got better and

she felt full on dense protein. Great job!

MaryGee Did really well on CAMAW, ridding herself of carbs is a "blessing."   Good job!
Brandi Gril

Really enjoyed this challenge and getting back on track and learning from the other menu posters.
