Farewell to Fat Friday!

Well...week 1 was...not exactly a success. I was hoping I would be able to blog today about 7 days of a strict new diet, a new work out routine, and possibly a few pound lots...but that's not the case. So I guess today's FTFF is going to be a Q & A session from you success stories out there who have made this happen for yourselves!


Q: How do diet during Holiday's? When you're having family cookouts and grilling with friends, do you eat the same thing as everyone else, just a smaller portion, or do you bring yourself something else?


Q: Is it better to join a program like Weight Watchers and count points daily, or just keep up with your calorie intake yourself?


Q: What is a reasonable about of weight that you can expect to lose in a weeks time?


Q: What are some of your favorite healthy meal options? Particularly breakfast...I'm a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal, and an apple or an orange just doesn't cut it for me! 


Q: I know "they" recommend to eat several small meals during the day, rather than 3 large meals. Are the extra "meals" just snacks? 


Q: Do you cheat...and if so, how often? I know that just sounds like I'm wanting to fail...lol...but in all honesty...you have to give your self a break occasionally...so once a month...once every 2 weeks?


Thank you guys so much for the response to last weeks post! I really appreciate all the comments and encouragement! I'm not going to let myself fail at this...I know I can do this...just have to commit!


Another question from the newbie blogger :)  How do I respond to all your comments on my posts? 


I'll leave you with a few photos from my "Thinspiration" album on Pinterest!
