ALL ABOARD!!!!! The protein train is here!
Morning BAF!!
We will ride this train for two weeks.
What have you eaten?
What is your plan?
What is your goal for the protein train?
How did it go yesterday?
Share what you're eating or how you're making it so that we all can learn from one another.
I will start off....................
B~ I had 1/2 a egg mcmuffin from a co-worker because I was unprepared and starving this morning. I will also have coffee with 2 scoops of protien (52g).
I plan to use this train to help me shed at least 10 pounds in the next 2 weeks!
Yesterday wasn't so good but it wasn't bad either.

When nothing else could help................LOVE lifted me!!!!
Good Morning Talisha & BAF,
I have been doing the PT since May 6th and decided to take a break the last week and this week. I may jump on next week once I return from Dallas.
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
I would have one cheat meal/day per week and I took off for the holiday weekends and a couple of other special event weekend since May. I have lost 31 pounds since May 6th doing this and I feel great!!!
ETA: I want to point out that some of the weight loss was regained weight. I had gained back up to 217. When I weighed last week, I was 186.4.
