Hi friends, how did everyone do this week? I am totally bummed because I maintained again this week, LAME!!
Here are the stats:
Current Weight Loss: -20 lbs
Goal: 5 lbs to go!
I did really well working out this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I did an hour on the treadmill and Thursday and Friday I did level 2 of the Shred. I'm pretty sure the down fall for me was late night snacking on Cheez-Its twice this week. I don't know what it is, but I have been having intense cravings for those crackers lately. I know I have been saying this every week, but seriously next week I will see a loss. I just need to really get strict because I know the last five pounds are the hardest. I thought I would share some yummy sweet and healthy treats this week from one of my favorite sites, enjoy!

Hey Girl, you 're doing just fine and I'm sure you'll definitely see the loss next week! Something that really helped me was to substitute my dinner with a Protein Shake. I was able to lose the last 3 pounds and to maintain my ideal weight. It is just an idea... Thank you for sharing these healthy treats with us! Have a Blessed Day!!!
Mmmmmmm S'mores!! I think I will be making those this weekend! =)
Oh.. how I wish I had the determination like you did to lose weight.. I keep talking about losig 20lbs, but that damn McD's is the devil!
Have you tried the Hot & Spicey Cheez-It's? Chris loves those.. they are kind of addicting.
(sorry not helping much with your snacking habit) =(
yum! Thanks for the s'more recipe! I LOVE them!
Have a great weekend =)

I've kind of stalled myself, but I just keep thinking "I can do this!" Love these recipes!!!
I actually just jumped back into being fit! I took a hiatus during the winter because I was too cold to work out. Luckily the damage wasn't too bad, and now the warmer weather is calling me outdoors! Those S'mores sound so yummy too :)
I can't wait to try to the s'mores recipe!
We do our official weigh-ins for our office biggest loser contest every other friday and I was only down 1.5 over the last 2 weeks so I'm kinda bummed too. And I totally stepped up my workout routine this week too, my buns are burning!!! LOL....
That smores sandwich looks yummy!!!
The smores sounds delish. Next week will be the week.
At least you maintained and it sounds like you’ve been doing really well with your workouts! Love HG and that S’mores Sandwich sounds yummy.
YUM! These looks great! I love how you aren't discournaged - you will get those five pounds off in NO time! And in the mean time, know that you are still STUNNING!!!
Um. WOW. Look at how many words I mispelled! Do I always do that?! EEK! I need to pay more attention when I comment! :o)
AND I JUST DID IT AGAIN! MISSPELLED! Hahaha, Okay, I'm leaving now. Have a great weekend, friend!
you're doing soooo awesome!! mmmmm smores!!!!!!
You're doing awesome, keep it up! It's hard when you get to a plateau, but you just have to keep pushing through!
I still have 3-5 lbs (depending on the # of Oreos I've eaten) to lose, but I honestly don't know if it will ever come off. I think my body must just be happy with my current weight.
I'm 100% going to try that Smore sandwich! It looks so fantastic for so few calories!!
Dont give up! I was on a "even streak" for almost 3 months and then I finally started to drop weight again.
Thanks for sharing the recipes!
Girl you are still doing fabulous just for maintaining!!! I've been horrible lately and have packed on the pounds since Christmas. I'm back in the saddle next week though. Keep up the great work!! XOXO
the apple in a cup sounds fab!
Mmm...hello smore sandwich! :)
you are doing great & your going to be looking good by the summer! Thanks for these tips, Im gonna do the g cracker one, yum!!! xoxo LA
Both of these recipes sound delish. You sound like you're doing a great job with the weight loss. Keep up the hard work!
Way to go....smores sound yummy!

Maintaining is better than gaining! The last five will come off in time. I'm starting the Shred over again :)
Congrats girl! That is awesome on the weight loss!
Congrats lady!! THat is so awesome. You are doing great! Lets see some pics of that Svelte new figure of yours!!
I know I am guilty of feeling the same way as you, I hate maintaining and would rather lose, but in reality, maintaining is better than gaining! Keep it up!!
And btw, I do something similar with my apples - I put the apple slices in a bowl and microwave them for a bit, then sprinkle cinnamon over it and put a sugar free 60 calorie thing of jell-o pudding on top of it! Yummy!
Maintaining sucks! I've been fluctuating within the same freakin pound for three weeks! We'll get there though:) Keep at it!
Oooh those sound fabulous! YUM!
You're doing great and at least you didn't gain! I LOVE Cheez Its too. Those little bits of salty goodness and too tough to resist!
Now those treats look super YUMMY!!! and low calories!! I love it! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! :-)
