Weekly weight loss meal plans

Did everyone have a nice Father’s Day yesterday? My husband was spoiled with a breakfast and dinner fit for a king. We also spent the day swimming in my parent’s pool which assisted in burning off those extra calories consumed via pancakes and bacon.

This past week I lost 1 pound bringing me 6 pounds closer to my goal weight of 135 pounds. I am so close I can taste it however for some reason I feel like those 5 pounds may be the hardest to lose considering I have been trying to lose them for the last couple months. But just like I preach to all of you it is really important to stay positive because there are going to be times that will be more challenging than others. A positive attitude will keep you moving forward and that is what we want!

With that said my menu plan will still reflect 1300 – 1500 calories a day. I am going to outline it a little differently this week listing the meals as options for you to choose from for your own menu plan. Let me know which way you like better.
