I really like it. Look at my thighs! They are smaller compared to last week. What I want to get rid of is the love handle. They are bothering me! Any suggestion?
Some of my meals this week:
You can tell how much I love Broccoli!
What I Love about this Challenge: I didn't expect to lose 3 lbs in 5 days! I set 5 lbs for the whole 30 days. And I didn't set any formal exercise. However, I am very active during the day, carrying my laptop and tons of books up and down the hill and walking everywhere on campus. Maybe I should increase the calories a little bit? What do you think?
It is easy. Almost effortless. I don't have to think about food at all. If it's my big meal, I eat. If it's not, I say no. How can it be simpler than that? Most importantly, eating this way is cheap. I spent $5-8 for one big meal.
What I Hate about this Challenge: Clean up. Cooking big meal is a mess. I was used to buying food from the cafe's/restaurants or eat processed packaged food. So cleaning up is a new challenge all by itself. Another thing is I'm not (yet) a good cook. Some days my big meal tastes (and looks) horrible, but I manage to add or twist to make it tolerable.
Goal for next week: More water. It's getting cold so it's hard. I have to remind myself to drink even when I don't feel like.

Great job this week! Wow...that's awesome that you're more than halfway to your goal of 5 lbs. after just ONE WEEK! You're off to a great start! :)
That's an incredible start!
You can't spot reduce the love handles, but as fat comes off, they will eventually go.
Meals looking good too! You'll get more efficient at clean up as you go. Cooking too! I am no cook either, but so far, am fooling my husband, LOL!
