Morning everyone! We have been discussing restarting our plans on the Menu thread and I thought that I'd widen the call to join in a Post-Holiday Reset aka AMAW/CAMAW week plus. Whether you have gotten off track over the last few weeks, just need to refocus on your goals or you're struggling with significant weight regain, as we all know from the experience of REAL people here on OH, being protein-forward is what works! Let's join together to support each other and be accountable in getting back to plan, kicking those nasty carbs to the curb and getting those pounds off!

I've never run an AMAW/CAMAW week, so I'd really like to have a co-leader(s) who has some experience. I'll start a thread each day where people can post their plan, their struggles and changes they've made. I had thought we could start on Jan. 1, but several folks wanted to get started before that, so let's go!

I also wanted to open things to folks who don't do a strict AMAW or CAMAW, but are equally motivated to make a healthier plan and stick to it. Let's make the challenge for a week after January 1 -- Tuesday, January 8. Go ahead and start today, even if you've already started your meals today. When you start, post your goals (whether they be pounds to lose, grams/percentage of protein, etc.), if you'd like post your starting weight and inches and let's get started! Since I am a true believer in exercise and moving your body, I'd also like to add that you can take a step challenge, plank challenge or whatever gets you out there and moving!

Here's to healthier living as we head into a new year!

Okay, I'm a little confused. What does AMAW/CAMAW stand for?

AMAW is all meat all week and CAMAW is critter all week or products from animals such as eggs and milk. The RNY thread has AMAW CAMAW challenges occasionally and you can search the site for more info.
