We can stick with the original Jill- I was back down this morning so most likely it was water weight- thank goodness!!! as much as I would like to count those 2lbs it wouldn't be right ;)

Yeay~! I AM PUMPED about this challenge! Good luck to everyone!
My biggest problem is getting all of my water and exercise- I need more of it!!!! Jill- I like your lil bunnies- I think I will go put some of those in my siggy!

My goal is to hit 200 by Easter! I was looking and I am heavier than I was this time last year- and that makes me soooo sick! I won't be next year! Hopefully I will be near goal!

Thanks Rikki.. I updated it :) You can do it... 9 lbs is a great goal for you!

:welcome: Robot.. glad to have you!

I'm excited!

Hope you all are having a great Tuesday morning so far... first week of our new challenge as one big team again..

I have put my McDougall MWL plan on hold since I drove from Colorado to Cali a couple weeks ago.. but luckily I'm still doing well... I've been pretty busy lately so I'm going to wait until my weight goes up or stops to go back into MWL, but I'm still being McDougall regular plan friendly. :)
I had a root canal yesterday, didn't actually hurt, a little sore today.. the only thing that hurt was the $500 bill lol ;) but oh well, it's fixed. Today I have a dermatologist appointment, hopefully that goes well!

How is everyones week so far?

Before I went out of town I was 132.5, but I do believe I've picked up a few pounds on vacation! I'm planning just to weigh on Friday w/ everyone if that's okay... to give myself a few days to re-coop!

I weighed in today and got a surprising 183 lbs. It's surprising, because I've been eating Amy's frozen foods while recooperating from the car accident. Also taking into consideration that I started my TOM yesterday. Overall though, I'm happy the numbers haven't gone up!

Hey all! Jill- sounds like you have been busy- I get so behind in these long threads- but I am going to try to do better this time :) I generally post in the SBD forum on here and sometimes forget to check in here- but I have been good about it the past couple weeks, just a couple more and it will be habit! LOL

Urthwurm- how you feeling since the wreck?

Iris- Vacation weight is pretty much inevitable for me- although, I am going to try my best to keep myself under more control from now on while out of town!

I am having a terrific tuesday! lol, went to the salon today and got almost 6 inches cut off, and the time before that it was 4''! so- i am a stylist who is afraid to get her haircut, this was HUGE for me!

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l256/rikkibri/IMG000107.jpg
ok, so I am goofy.

Your hair looks great! :)

Rikki, love the haircut! =)

I'm new to the site and I've been a vegetarian for 12+ years. The vegetarian threads seemed like the right place to start. I'd like to know more about the challenges, they seem like a fun motivator. Are you accepting new participants?

Im sure Jill will chime in soon- but of course we take newbies in :) :welcome:!!!

Ok great! Thanks for the welcome. I'm still trying to learn my way around the forum. :)

:welcome: Kelso!!!

So my weight seems stuck, but i figured it is b/c Tom maybe coming to town this real soon!!!!(*sigh) It explains all the overeating I have been doing....yuck :(

Thank you. :)

Good morning everyone! the scale is being kind so far so I don't wanna push it too far by posting, but I am a happy girl this morning! :)

Well, its off to a long arse day today.... *sigh* have a great OP day everyone!

:welcome2: Kelso, we'd love to have you join, we weigh in every Friday :hug:

Justhave2try... Tom is such a blittle bugger, but don't let him get you down, try to plan your over indulgences for those few days, that usually helps me. :)

Ok, sounds good! Thanks! :D

hey everyone...this week is just awful...having major boyfriend problems and i havent been exercising.....i wont be weighin this week, ill be back next week when ive figured things out.......have a good rest of the week!

Hey girls. My sister is finally out of the hospital but I'm now behind on work and many personal things. I also still need to help out a bit with family stuff soooo I'm not entirely focused on weight loss and don't really have time to dedicate to the forums right now. I hope to join back up once my life is a bit more back to normal!
Hope all is well with you all.

Start Date 3-20-09 If you have not gave me your Friday start weight please let me know :)

Zinkemom:

Last Thursday I was 239.4. This morning I was 242. I might have indulged a little to much on my weekend away. ;) I'll weigh in again on Friday. Hopefully I can get it back down a little.

Before I went out of town I was 132.5, but I do believe I've picked up a few pounds on vacation! I'm planning just to weigh on Friday w/ everyone if that's okay... to give myself a few days to re-coop!see above, lol.

Hope all is well with you all. I am so glad things are better. I know your sis still has a long way to go but at least she is home. :hug:

Kelso is your start weight 219?

Ugh, unfortunately. Lol, but that's why I'm here. So basically, we weigh in on this Friday then on next? This is my first challenge. Is this a team one or solo?

I'm moving on Friday, but I told my boyfriend not to pack my scale! lol

Hey girlees!!

It's soo late and I can't sleep!! and i have work early tomm.! Anyway I think I'm gonna start Eat to Live tomm.. I have a best friends wedding in a month! I'm happy to start a new challenge:carrot: Summer is just around the corner!

Kelso.. yes we weigh in every Friday, our final weigh in is May 1st (for this challenge) We are doing a solo challenge this time, the teams were hard to keep up since not everyone always weighed in. :)

PeatrixPotter... Good luck with the move! If you needed to weigh in early that would be fine :)

ChickPea... I went to sleep at like 6:30 last night lol I took a hot bubble bath totally made me sleepy... I want to read that book too! Let us know how it goes for ya!

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing? I'm scared to weigh in this week because I think I went a little overboard on desserts. I'm trying to make myself eat fruit when I have a craving for sweets.

Eating fruit daily definitely helps me with my sweet cravings... try to have it early in the day so it will throw off your craving all together :)

Morning everyone. :wave:

I managed to get my weight back down to 240.2 which is quite an improvement over Mondays weigh in.

Hey there,
I'm still at 212.

Welcome to the new veggie challengers! Glad to have you here!

Heather-hope everything is going well for you and your family.

Haley-I hope things are going better for you!

Well, I've been hanging in there. I started working out regularly again, which is good. Let's hope I stick with it! We had a big blizzard overnight and as my husband is out of town, I get to do all the shoveling. We have a snowblower that I've never used, so that should be interesting.

Have a great Friday, everyone!!

Good job Zinkemom!

Darby.. hey girl! Miss ya! :hug:


Don't forget today is weigh in everyone!

My weigh in: 157 (-1.5 lbs)

Hello Everyone! I would like to join the challenge also! I am weighing in at 141.4 this morning... how long is the challenge (so I know what a reasonable goal will be)?

I stayed the same at 196. I'm actually happy about that because I didn't gain.

:welcome2: AMI... We weigh in every Friday... our Mini Goal is Easter (April 12th) and the challenge ends May 1st :)

Robot.. I know what you mean.. some weeks it's nice just to stay the same.. definitely!

:dust:

Darby1-Thanks, I'm not really, we broke up....ugh oh well.

jillnicole, you're right when you said to eat fruit early to help curb the sweet cravings. I had a few plums for breakfast, and I didn't crave dessert :)

Weigh in today: 174.4

Best weight in ever :D

Arrrggghhh!!! So as I said before, I moved yesterday and my bf packed the scale. No biggy right? I figured I'd just weigh in this morning...well, now I can't find the darned thing! Lol! There is only one box labeled "bathroom" and it is not in there. It could still be at the old place, but I can't get ahold of him to ask him. I was especially anxious to weigh in because I did so well this week and was feeling especially light. I even survived a bridal shower last night that was catered italian food from Mazziano's! I ate before I went, then only ate some of the asparagus. :) I PROMISE to weigh in at my nearest convenience! Hopefully, I can locate the scale tonight.

JilliNicole It is so great to see you losing so much weight! I remember when you were in the low 170s in Jan when I first came on here. It's amazing that you are so motivated! BTW, my sister lives in Davis and my cousin lives in Citrus Heights, so I am up there alot. :)

Finally got around to weighing today,& I'm down to 181.4!!
By the time I reach 179, I will have lost 25.8lbs. :carrot:

Hey Team :wave:

Sorry I haven't been so involved!!! The week of the weigh in I had soooo much do! Stressed with school (had 2 exams, 2 5-7pg papers ughh) work, my son (who turned 1 yesterday) so the party planning was stressing me out, my mother...I was just OVERWHELMED!!! But I did find time to weigh myself but I didn't post it!
Even though I am late my weigh in for Friday was 223!!!

*I was glad to see we have new people so I want to welcome you all*
:welcome:

I avoided the scale on friday and have been doing so... :o rough week w/ too much stress eating for me! I will check in tomorrow and see what the damage is.

I just printed the Chana Masala recipe from vegweb.com so I'm going to make that for dinner - sounds yummy and I'll have leftovers to take to work for lunch!

Congrats on losses (and maintenance too!) this week.

Hey chickies... Tom is here and as expected my weight shot way up. 211.8 for me this morning and that really really makes me sad! But, I have been so hungry and tom being here explains why... I have also been away from the boards and that is really not a good thing for me! When I am on here I eat better and have friends to keep me in check! I need to just post! No excuses...

Peatrix... Citrus Heights is super close to me :)

Jillnicole: Not to be a bother, but I started the thread at 183. Any chance you could mark that in? :halffull:

Okay I found my scale and I'm 143.8. Huh??? I have been doing well and staying OP, so I don't know what's up. I WISH I knew where my scale was on Friday because I was feeling so light, I know I was lower. Oh well. More loss for next week!

Urthworm-- no problem at all! :)

Peatrix-- I hate when that happens! howd the move go?

Hii

Sorry I haven't checked in...been busy. I started Eat to Live again today! It worked sooo well for me last time I tried. Hopefully I will stay on track:D

SO, this morning I woke up and my freaking scale is the highest it has been in over a year. I don't understand other than TOM is here and that must be at least part of the culprit!!! GRRR! I am so disappointed in myself for letting it get that high. I was disappointed enough when it got back over 200 but I was hovering around there and this morning it said 215!!!! WTF. I am losing the carbs for the rest of the week and going back to South Beach diet phase one( I have been in phase 2, but cheating some) I know it can't all be my fault because I have, according to the scale, gained 9lbs in less than a week. no more alcohol either- it sets off cravings and binges for me and I know that so I don't need to go near it for a while~!!! OK, sorry for the rant... I can do this!!!!!

RDW... dont give up! TOM makes me about 5-8 pounds more than usual sometimes... keep your head in the right place :) :dust:

Its here, staying level! LOL... its just sooo frustrating! I am going to have to start hiding the darn thing around TOM or something!!! Well, Off to make a super veggie stirfry for lunch! Hope you chickies are staying OP today! I am more than happy to share some of that :dust: Jill gave me ;)

rdw1 Thanks for the willpower dust!

JilliNicole The move was exhausting! But at least I was burning more calories. Luckily, my boyfriend moved all the heavy items. I am down .2 from yesterday--143.6. My goal was 140 by today--I didn't make it, but I sure was close! :)

Peatrix.. Good job! I hate moving but that is how I look at it 2 lol

:dust: for all ;)

Hey everyone! Yay, I am excited for this challenge. Sorry I have been offline. I was in Japan for two weeks! How does the challenge work?

idrinkcoffee... welcome back? how was it!? we will weigh in every Friday as before, but one whole team :) May 1st is our challenge end date.

well, i sure lied - i'm STILL pretending the scale doesn't exist. I'll get back in the game on Friday. I hope you all are doing great!!

Japan was amazing! I still lost a bit of weight, even though I was eating out everyday. I guess all the walking helped. :)

Where does the "challenge" part come in? Are we competing with other teams?

idrinkcoffee... welcome back? how was it!? we will weigh in every Friday as before, but one whole team :) May 1st is our challenge end date.

We are challenging ourselves to lose the weight and get healthier!!! :)

Yup exactly.. we are challenging ourselves, and as a team we have support from each other... and a kick in the butt when we need one ;)

Well, I was back down to 141.8 this morning! Let's just hope that stays for tomorrow's weigh-in. :)

idrinkcoffee: Welcome back! I hope you had a good trip. =]

rdw: Don't fret about it! I'm sure once TOM is done and gone all that weight will miraculously disappear, along with an extra pound or two! My period always plays games with me as well. Just keep in mind that it's a natural fluctuation, and try not to get upset over the increase in number.

I was down to 180.4 yesterday, and up to 180.8 today. I'm hoping that's just a fluctuation as well, perhaps some water weight my muscles are holding on to because of working out yesterday? After all, it was my first workout in almost 3 weeks (since the accident).


UPDATE: Alright, well I've determined that my old digital scale needs to be retired after some faulty weigh in comparisons with clothes both on and off. I've brought in another used scale, non digital, that seems to be reliable. If I'm going by what it says (which I really, really want to), then I'm actually under the 180's!! More like 179 to be precise, which was actually my original April Fools day goal. It might be early for celebration, but I've decided to stick with this scale & it's readings from now on. Hopefully it will be more dependable than my finicky digital one!!

Peatrix.. Tomorrow is Thursday.. we are weighing in Friday ;) but maybe you are talking about your Biggest Loser Team?

Urthworm... cute new pic!

Hi ladies! I think I had the best day with my diet and exercise. I filled up on veggies and beans and I did 30 Day Shred. I am pooped, but so proud of myself. I hope everyone else is doing great too :)

jillnicole: Thanks! That's actually one of my graduation pictures from last year. Sadly, I haven't taken any recent pics.

Robot: Great job! Keep it up.

Thanks chics- I am not worrying too much, weight went down a bit today and I am hoping it goes down a bit tomorrow too... sticking around 1200-1400 calories did go eat mexican tonight but I only had a salad and rf beans no cheese... I did have a couple beers but within my calories :)

Robot... great job!

RDW... yay.. way to not let anything get you down!



Don't forget ladies... tomorrow is weigh in :)

So, today I was back to my start weight of 209... HOping the scale is kinda gain tomorrow... crazy day at work today., glad to have it over with. Very busy and my calories were super low so I had a nice dinner of Morningstar riblet and a sweet baked potato plain with some plain green beans... and 2 glasses of wine :) ending the day at about 1250 calories! Right on target!

Hope you chickies have a great OP day tomorrow!

arghhhhhhh 242.5

Hey Team:wave:

Well lately I have not been going to the gym. Last week I didn't go AT ALL!! :(
And this week I have gone only once, then my son, bf, and I have had the stomach bug. I got over mine much quicker then them. My son turned 1 on Saturday and he has diarrhea since Saturday!!! :( So I have been all over the place trying to care for my 2 sickos!!!

Well the good news is I lost 1lb and my weigh in this week is 221!!!
I am not too excited with it but it'll do and I know in order for me to make goal I'm gonna have to KICK myself in my VEGGIE BOOTY!!!

*I hope the rest of you are having much success in your journey. Keep up the AWESOME work!!*

I had a nice dinner of Morningstar riblet and a sweet baked potato plain with some plain green beans... and 2 glasses of wine :)

That is one of my favorite dinners! (only sometimes it's with sweet potato fries :drool:) I understand the Morningstar riblets are taking the place of Gardenburger riblets, which have been discontinued. I haven't tried the Morningstar ones yet, but I have a stockpile of the Gardenburger ones in my freezer for side-by-side comparison when I get a box of the new kind. They're owned by the same company so I'm hoping they didn't change much.

Weigh in: 172.8 :)

Today is weigh in... :goodscale:

My weight is down 1 lb from last week: 156 lbs today :)

For everyone who has lost or maintained :bravo:

and for those of us who are having a harder time, don't you dare give up, I know you are all troopers! You can do it, we will do it, together! :drill:

:cheer2: Go Team :cheer2:

hey everybody, how's it going? Congrats to everyone making progress! I'm alright, boyfriend and i are working things out. I think i'm gonna step out of this challenge and join the next one, but i'll still pop in and see how everyone is doing. My exercise has been good this week and I've gotten back into the habit of writing down my food. i have no idea how much i weigh i havent weighed in a couple weeks and i think i wont until the first weighin for the next challenge. Have a good friday everyone!

Haley... glad you are working on things, hope all is well. I will take you off the spreadsheet... but you know you are always welcome to hop back on, and gladfto hear you'll still talk to us! ;) We love listening, so feel free anytime :hug:

I am down a few this week to 260 I have been going through some stuff relationship stuff... actually since I got back from vacation. I will write more when I get some more time.

Stepped on the scale and was getting somewhere between 179 and 178.
I think I'll stick with 179 for now though until I can see some real, tangible movement in those numbers!

Weigh in: 179

Hii

Well I weighed in this morning at 147...again! I've been doing good though so I'm waiting for that number to change!! You all are doing wonderful!

Have a great weekend:)

I'm up 2 lbs (198). What the heck? I hope it's water weight, because I've been good this week. I don't want to go back to the 200s

Congrats to everyone who's losing :)

I weighed in at 139.6!!!!! Down 4.2 pounds this week! AMAZING since I am so close to goal. I was up two pounds last week though, so the loss is probabky some of that. :)

JilliNicole My internal clock was off, and I was about to post my weight yesterday cuz I thought it was Friday. Lol

Peatrix.... lol no problem :)

*If anyone hasn't weighed in- make sure you post your Today's weigh in before Monday morning, when I will post :)

:dust: for all the great ladies!

My weigh in this morning was a much kinder weigh in than the last! LOL 207.8. much better than the 215 I did weigh a couple days ago!

Hey everyone,
Sorry I've been gone; I've been having computer issues.

Anyway, I'm up to 213. This has been a very stressful week and I've done the stress eating to prove it!

Also, if this snow doesn't quit I'm moving to California with Jill ;)!

I will try to post more later this weekend.

You guys are doing great! Hang in there!

Yikes... I haven't posted in awhile. My weight yesterday morning (and same today) is 250.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Hello Ladies - I unfortunately gained weight (weighing in at 145 this time) which I attribute to the fact that the rain has kept me inside instead of outside. I do my exercising outside, and tend to sit on the couch and eat when I stay indoors... Boo. I need to get back on track! I want to get to the 130's!!!
Jillnicole- are you on any particular diet or do u count calories or do u concentrate more on exercise or what? What is your secret??

Thank you everyone for your weigh ins.. if you'd still like to post your Fridays weight you have until tomorrow morning when I will post! :)

Darby.. I hope it keeps snowing then ;) because it'd be great to have you around!! :hug:

Ami12345.. I do mostly the McDougall Diet, he is a doctor that has a book, it is a very healthy vegan diet.. pick up the book.. it is a little boring but great information definitely!! I started curving the diet a little between the regular plan and the Maximum Weight Loss which is what I did the first 2 months straight. :)

I just got done making this deliciously thrown together meal. It was a quickie pizza since I didn't want to make dough or marinara. I just lined the bottom and sides of a cake pan with a large tortilla, spread a generous amount of marinara, mixed up a fast batch of cheese-less cheese sauce which was then incorporated into the marinara, and sprinkled broccoli & shredded chik'n cutlet on top. Tossed it in the oven for 10 minutes to get the tortilla crisp & shell like, & voila! Italian-style "taco salad". :jeno:

I will look into McDougall for sure! I have been vegetarian since I read Skinny B*tch in September -- it's just so hard to live vegan! Especially with my husband and child around! ha! Anyway, I ran one mile yesterday (without stopping)! =) And had brown rice and stir fry veggies for dinner... and realized I was PMSing before so maybe some of my increased weight is from that... hoping it will go away in a few days... Was going to bike this morning, but it's awfully windy so I will most likely run this evening instead! Have a great week ladies ;-)

Also Urthworm & Twish... way to go with the 4 lbs lost each... way to start a challenge... :cheer2: :cheer2:

I am about the same weight. I am crabby so pretty sure I have PMS. No weight loss in awhile. I have been eating fat free Easter candy and laying around. My gym closed last week, so I go to a new one now and it is like going to a dance club compared to my old gym. This one has so much to do, all the bells and whistles, and I look forward to going. I went 5 days last week. I am looking forward to my weight going down accordingly, after that TOM. :)

That is awesome Kierr... I hope you like the new gym going forward.. is it a chain? :hug:

UrthWurm - that pizza sounds yummy and easy! I never thought to use a tortilla for crust, that's genius.

I'll be out of town spending Passover with my in-laws so I'll probably miss weigh in on Friday, but I'll check in Monday when I'm back. :)

No problem as long as you weigh in by Monday :) Maybe I'll even post our weights Tuesday because of the Holiday :P

I just want to say that I rode my bike 7 miles yesterday around the bay and it was GREAT! It's not as physically exhausting as running, so it is more enjoyable/relaxing... I am trying to run 2 days, bike 1, repeat. And after only 3 days of this I am down a pound =) What is everyone else doing for exercise??

Great job AMI!!! That is awesome.. trying to enjoy your exercise really helps, I went and walked on a trail near my house, I definitely need to start exercising more, the only thing I do so far is walk and not even enough.. I'm thinking of trying to join some fun exercise classes after easter :-)

So yesterday I went to TGI Fridays and had a Tropical Mojito and French Fried Green Beans with BBQ Sauce... def not "diety" sheesh... but also went on a nice long walk! :) Hope you all are doing well this week!

:dust:

The gym is MVP fitness. They are in Michigan and Florida only, as far as I know. :)

Ami thats awesome! I would love to ride bikes again but last time my arse was bruised for a week!!!!! LOL, Kinda discouraging! I think when I lose 20-30 more lbs I will try again... but for now my buns are too big! LOL

I have been walking mainly, sometimes throwing in an occasional video and wii fit... but not exercising near enough...

Hello Ladies :)

Tomorrow is weigh in, I will post our weights on Monday, so feel free to weigh in anytime by Monday. Hope you all got close to whatever Easter goal you set, and if not we still have until May 1st!

I'm starting to lose again, after being stuck for about a month. I have worked out 9 times in the last 2 weeks so that must be it. :)

Weight is currently 195.6. :)

kierr- if you posted your menus we could all also give out advice on why possibly you haven't been losing! But great to see you are losing again!!!

240.2 this morning. I think I'm going to try and do 1-2 days vegan a week. I've been talking with Heather and she pointed out I've been making excuses. She is very correct. I haven't been willing to move out of my comfort zone. Today I am going to start.

Hey girls,
I'm still at 213. I worked out this week and have been completely on plan but I think the PMS monster is at work. It kind of stinks that I have PMS for a full week before my actual period starts. Is this normal? I seem to remember when I was younger that it only started a few days before.

Anyway, I make hamburger buns from scratch and I baked some yesterday and they smelled SO good that I had eaten 2 of them before I could stop myself.

Today is going to be a bit challenging as well. My sister and I are going to a spa up in the mountains. I'm super excited, but I'm worrying about my eating. I've been to this spa before but it was a long time ago. I think they provide fruit, which would be great, but I also remember there being lots of other snacks (pretzels, chocolate, etc.). We probably won't be done till about 3, then we are going for a late lunch/early dinner. It'll be tricky, but I don't want to stress about it too much.

Anyway, you guys are doing great! Have a wonderful Friday!

Weigh In: 178

Well, I didn't reach my original goal of 175, but then again I haven't been exercising. I get really sore now for days afterward. I think that maybe I need to give myself more time to heal, because the little exercise I have done has left my back and knees hurting. I'm a little worried about injuring myself since I'm so stiff. The only downside of not exercising is I'm afraid I won't really lose... I don't want this accident to get in the way of my goals and my ability to accomplish them! My new adjusted goals are 178 for Easter, and 175 by May 1st. I'm going to work really hard to make sure I get there!

On a side note, I had a question. I've been eating mostly vegan, with the exception of small amounts of milk or cheese in frozen products I buy (like Amy's). My family has been a bit wary/negative towards my dietary switch and will often make comments concerning it. I can see their eyes glaze over in horror when I invite them for dinner. Well anyways, I've been battling with the decision whether or not to go pescetarian. I caved last night when I found an all natural wild-caught Alaskan smoked salmon fillet for half it's price at a bargain store in our area (they commonly have organic and all natural food shipments. It's available as they get it though). I haven't heard many bad things (as far as personal health) concerning those who eat fish. My GF and I are debating eating a pescetarian diet that is salmon exclusive. By that I mean that would be the only fish we ate, and we'd get it organic ( or all natural), wild-caught from Alaska. Does anyone have any resources I could exploit about the health benefits or hindrances of eating salmon? If you made it all the way through this message, thanks for reading!

Hey Guys :wave:
I am so sorry I have not been on as much!! But man I would have to say that I am not happy with myself! In a strange way I feel like the fire that started my journey is begininng to go down :( ! I have no idea what it is! I want to say I just maybe overwhelmed with EVERYTHING but even after they are taken care of I still feel like eating and I mean eating A LOT!!! I always seem to be stuffing my face with something!! Whatever this is I would like the fire to come back and make these "eating temptations" JUST GO AWAY!!!
In addition to that my weight is just stuck at the same number and I am starting to get sick of stepping on the scale!!
***If anybody has any pointers to help, PLEASE HELP ME!!!***
As much as I want to make my goal this time I don't think I will!!

Poo, my weight is up to 200. Uggg. This week wasn't so great.

My weigh in this week is 223! :(

justhav2try... I have been there so many times. I would just say make the small changes just eat less of what foods you normally enjoy, and try to get bits of extra movements in during the day. Its taken me a long time to lose what I have so far, and its still an up and down struggle. Every persons journey is so different.


my weight is 258

Thankfully I met, and then surpassed, my Easter goal by 1/2 a lb!
Weighed in today at 177.5!!! Now I just have to resist temptation at Lunch and Dinner with my two families!!
Wish me luck. :D

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss :)

I’m at 173.6 this morning. I was expecting worse actually, with the traveling and eating I’ve been all out of whack and the, um, plumbing downstairs hasn’t been working as usual for a few days if you know what I mean.

My MIL tried really hard to make things I would eat for the seder meals, I ate some of the potato noodle lasagna she made the first night even though I knew the soy cheese looked way too real-cheese-melty to be vegan. Checked the package in the fridge the next day and sure enough it had casein. I also found out she put Promise margarine (whey) in all the green veggies. I had to break it to her that the stuff wasn’t vegan when she started pushing food on me the next day, she felt bad. Oh well, maybe she’ll bring her reading glasses to the health food store so she can read ingredient lists next time she tries to shop for me. I really appreciated the effort anyway. After a few days of living on matzah, sweet potato kugel and charoset I’m looking forward to getting back to normal eating!

On the bright side I got my training runs in (5 miles and 9 miles) while I was out of town and I’m usually really bad about exercising when I’m out of my normal routine. Plus I walked almost 6 miles on Saturday between walking my in-laws dog and walking around DC while visiting friends. I expect the weight will balance out over the next couple days once my body gets back to routine eating/sleeping/exercise.

My half-marathon team has a twitter page now, I’d love to follow anyone here who tweets too! http://twitter.com/team_vegan

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, no guilt on the bad eating, it is a holiday you are allowed... now we just have to get back to business!

Kierr.. good job on all the working out! Glad to see its paying off! You go girl.

ZinkeMom.. Vegan a few days a week should help, especially if you try to find yoru sneaky lil culprit.. we all have them, that one thing we add to our food that we shouldn't! lol

Darby.. I PMS a full week before too.. so I think yes, it is normal. Hope you had fun at the spa!

Urthworm.. you can make your new goal!! :cheer2:

Justhave2try.. dont give up girl, posting before you eat may help, it helps me :) and adding more veggies to what im eating, or having veggies prior to my meal.

Robot... next week will be better keep your head up :hug:

Jasmine.. hope you had a great Easter!

Shananigans.. I wish I could run!! lol I should start but I get nervous, I love walking, I need to push myself out of my comfort zone!

JillNicole: Thanks for the support. :hug:
One more thing.. I weighed in on Friday at 178.
Is there any chance you could add my weight to the list? :halffull:

Sorry guys, I feel like such a failure...I weighed in at 145.6! I started binging on Passover (and I'm not even religious!), and haven't been able to get back on. I was doing well yesterday, but didn't banish the bad foods from my environment, so started in with the late night eating. :( I'm sure much of the weight is water weight, so I expect to be much lower next week after I've been back on track. Good luck everyone!

Also, I was in a bad car accident on Saturday, so I feel completely disoriented from that. I just need to get back to my routine and I will do fine. :)

woops sorry Urthworm! :)

Peatrixpotter... sorry about your accident, just worry about feeling your best! :hug:

Peatrix - I've been bingeing too. It's not fun :( I hope you feel better.

I need someone to kick my butt. I have a feeling this week will be a huge gain.

Robot :hug: yeah I have been eating too much this week.. i hate that! We all need our butts kicked huh! lol


Don't forget tomorrow is our weigh in! :)

:dust:

PeatrixPotter-glad to hear you weren't hurt in the accident

good job to everyone

i am trying to survive the last couple weeks of school without eating too much lol. this week ive been really good with eating and exercise but its the last 3 weeks im worried about when i finally weigh on may 1st or whenever we weigh for the next challenge. its been hard not to weigh cause im so used to doing it all the time but its a good practice of self control lol

have a good friday everyone

Weigh in: 172.6

It is so nice outside it is killing me to be cooped up in this office all day. First outdoor farmers market of the season is tomorrow, I am super excited to start buying local produce again. Gonna get me a big bunch of over-wintered spinach, yum!

Half-marathon training is going great, I'm really diggin spending all the time outside now that spring finally appears to be here. I'm doing an 8k event next weekend to get warmed up and in the racing spirit.

Hey all.. don't forget to weigh in today :)

Today is weigh in... already!

A few days ago, I was down to 198, but this morning, I was at 201. I'm going in the wrong direction. I hope everyone else is doing much better.

Shananigans - I think people that do half marathons are awesome. Maybe it's the envy I have because I couldn't run to save my life.

Yesterday I was down to 176.6, and now today... 177 lbs greets me when I step on the scale. I have a sneaking suspicion that TOM is swiftly on it's way.

Weigh in: 177

238.4 today. I saw 237's for a few days but TOM is here.

142.6--I don't know what's wrong with me. I was doing really good and now I have no will power whatsoever! Argghhh!

I'm at 214 today! It's been a crazy few days. TOM makes me feel completely out of control.

PeatrixPotter-sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you're doing ok.

Well, we got nearly 2 feet of snow and I'm fed up!! This should be the last storm of the year, but...that's not how it works in Colorado. When I first moved here I had planted a little container garden on my deck and came home one night in early June to find it had snowed and killed all my plants!

Anyway, I can't play around anymore at losing weight! I NEED to fit into some of my work clothes because I am going job hunting. I'm losing my mind sitting at home. I probably need to lose 10-15 lbs to fit into my work wardrobe and I'm NOT buying anything new.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

ugh. I went up- 208.2

I am just now looking and I noticed this challenge. Am I just completely too late to throw my hat in and get on track with y'all? :o Thanks

Is there any chance I could get someone's opinion on my new avatar? It's a more recent picture. The one in color is me, and the person in black and white is my gf, Sam. They were two seperate pictures (you can probably tell) both that I took. I edited them in photoshop, and I happen to think it looks rather cute. What do you think, does it mesh well? ;]


Welcome westtexaschick!!
I'm not sure if it's too late to join or not, that's up to jillnicole. But either way, you are welcome to follow along with us and weigh in independantly!
Glad to have you, and congrats on your losses so far!!! :hug:

Urthworm... new pic is supppper cute!

UrthWurm - Your avatar is lovely.

UrthWurm - I like your avatar too

so ladies everyones benn quiter than normal!! whats going on :)

Well, I'm recovering from a week-long binge! lol Not fun to see that I have gained back all the weight I lost in the last 6 weeks. Granted, it's hopefully alot of water weight, but I can't wait til the scale shows that I have gotten back on track!

I can relate PeatrixPotter; I was bingeing most of last week.

This week is completely different. I've been OP since Saturday. :)

sorry about missing that last weigh in I have been picking up way to many shifts at work however my weight as of today is
257.0

-urthworm your avatar is really awsome! great picture of both of you
-jill your new pic is great! you can see that you have lost more weight! I had a great Easter thanks for the wishes I hope your was great too.

Robot I've been OP since Saturday as well. We must be psychically in tune to each other. :) Unfortunately, I have not gone to the bathroom since early Sat, so I have not lost any of the water weight. I've been on Vicodin for the last week because of a car accident, which always backs up my system. I just drank some senna tea, so hopefully I'll lose it soon! lol

PeatrixPotter - That's awesome. We sending positive vibes to each other :)

Hello All! I have been out of town and not exercising and eating way too much of whatever I wanted... so yeah, it's gonna be bad this Friday. I couldn't weigh in last week obviously and I must admit, I was glad not to have to do it. I know I have gained several pounds... I gotta get back on track!!!

**Tomorrow is weigh in ladies**

ok i did it, i made 2 stickk.com commitments with money stakes haha. not much but still i dont want to lose any money. $5 per week per commitment for 4 weeks.

I've been in hiding. I ended up with a UTI this week. Bleh. I just had my annual pap last week and had my cholesterol checked. In the 4 years since I had it checked last I've dropped it from 202 down to 149! I do need to lower my triglycerides a little but a little extra flax should help.

237.1

I'm at 213 this morning!

We're going out with friends to a Mexican restaurant tonight and looking at the menu online, it doesn't look terribly veggie friendly. They do have a vegetable burrito, which will probably be ok without cheese. At worst I could order the a la carte chips and guacamole.

zinkemomx2-how does flax lower triglycerides? Mine are a bit elevated too. Congrats on lowereing your overall cholesterol! That's awesome.

haleygirl-nice to see you back! I checked out that website when you first posted about it; it's very interesting!

UrthWurm-I like the new avatar too! Isn't Photoshop awesome?

Well, I guess I'd better go work out before I eat my weight in guacamole!

Have a great Friday!!

Hope you feel better ZinkeMom!! :hug:

Today Weight: 156.5 (Grr better be wrong lol)



Don't forget to weigh in! :)

171.8

zinkemomx2 - that's great news about your cholesterol! Too bad about the UTI, hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm running Crazy Legs tomorrow morning, a very popular 8k event to support Badger Athletics. However, I have a 10 mile training run scheduled, so I'll be running another 5 miles home. I won't even get to enjoy my complimentary Bud Light after the race, so sad for me. :p

omg i gained weight. i'm up to 147 again. that sux.

I'm at 198.

Oh Ive missed you girls! Ive had a really difficult last 2 months with my Grandpa dying and my great grandma falling down stairs and being hospitalized for a month....Anyway, It feels nice to FINALLY check in here again and getting in on the next challenge again.
My weight loss, needless to say, has taken a huge backseat to my normal life and Ive gained a few pounds although Im not ready to admit that on my ticker yet. I start a new class on Monday and Im super excited about that.
You ladies all seem to being doing fabulous with your weight loss! Im proud of you all!
Anyhow, Im glad to be back. Talk to you guys soon!

flax and triglycerides (http://www.optimal-heart-health.com/omega-3.html)

my weight is 256,
I have had a bit less appetite this week due to a horrible virus I have been battling.

Wow, we really don't like to post on the weekends, do we? I hope that means everyone is out doing exciting things!

I had a pretty good weekend. I did not eat my weight in guacamole on Friday, but I did drink a margarita as big as my head! I really didn't realize how big they were when I ordered it. But I only ate half of my veggie burrito and about 3 chips. All in all I felt pretty good about the night. And I had a lot of fun, so it was totally worth it!

zinkemomx2-thanks for the info; I'm going to buy some flax on grocery day!

Jasmine-I hope you're feeling better.

erinmagill-I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope your grandmother is doing ok. It's hard to stay on track when all that is going on.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good weekend. Let's make this a great week!

With everything that was going on, I forgot to post my weigh in!!! D:
Sorry, and I hope it's not too late to count.

Weigh in: 174.5 lbs

I was out of town until now. I got on the scale and 146.6 today! Crap! I wanted to lie about how much I weighed today, but what's the point if I do that? I just have to get back on track and have a huge loss this Friday!

A couple days late but my weigh in was 206.8... better than last week anyway!

**Fridays weigh in above :)

The past few days were just terrible. I think I ate a total of 5,000 calories just yesterday. I weighed in this morning to see the damage, and it said 203. Wow, just wow. I went from 198 to 203 during the weekend.

Today was a much better day. I filled up on fiber and kept myself busy.

Robot.. sorry about the slip up.. dont let it get you down! you can keep up the great work.

:dust:

Thanks, jillnicole. I have to think of this as a small slip up and not to drown my sorrows in junk food.

Hey ladies! Tomorrow is weigh in... yall have been pretty quiet lately.. feel free to burst out ;)

Robot I did the same thing. I was up to 146.6 this week from binging, BUT was already down to 141 this morning since I have stayed on track. :) So don't be discouraged! You can lose it again.

Thanks Peatrix.

I weighed in a little early and am at 197, so I'm happy about that. I had a great day, and worked out for an hour.

My brand new Tanita Solar scale arrived today! I'm so happy to have a more efficient and eco-friendly addition to my bathroom. My other weighing options were a digital and non-digital scale, both over 5 years old. One weighed on the high end, one on the low. Both were cheap-o scales. The one I just bought was a bit more expensive, but worlds worth it! Tanita not only sells personal scales, but also professional ones for doctor's offices and gyms. I've seen the brand several times in both types of places, and have grown to trust it's results. Can't wait to weigh in tomorrow morning and see how close or far my current weight is from the truth!! Wish me luck. :D

169.6!

Wasn't expecting to see 160-something today, but there it is. Almost back to where I was before I started gaining weight like crazy last summer. I've been working on upping my veggie intake, but I've still been indulging on some junk, just trying it keep it to a more reasonable amount now.

The half marathon is just over three weeks away. I'm pretty excited. I'm also looking forward to doing something other than running once this training program is over. I’ve been fitting in a little yoga here and there, but I’d really like to get back into the habit of going to Power Pump class twice a week. My upper body needs it badly.

UrthWurm - Enjoy your new scale! I love new toys and gadgets.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring weather! I have been getting out and walking a bit more which has made me feel really great! I am feeling much better after that cold/flu I had last week.

I am at 254 today!

So, I am at the same weight this Friday as I was last Friday. I am not shocked. I have been slacking. I am a total emotional eater. My husband and I have been arguing and he wants to join the millitary and my mother has been staying with us for nearly 3 mths now and my son can't seem to kick his cold (snot face!) and everything is just NUTZO! Anyway, this challenge ends today & I think I actually managed to gain 2 lbs -- I feel like such a failure. BUT... I think we should extend this challenge or start a new one... I want to be 135 by my son's 1st birthday (June 17)... that's 2 lbs a week... that will take some SERIOUS will power and motivation and control! You guys want to keep going? I really want this.

I am down to 139.6 today...7 pounds lost from Monday. It should be exciting, but I have bounced around these same weights for two months now. I have binge eating disorder and will binge, but the weight comes right off if I stay on track. I am really trying to stop. :( I want to be consistent and stay at or below 135. But I guess that puts me at a 2.2 pound loss for the challenge!

Todays weigh in: 155.5

I have a sore throat :/ yuck im so tired. Hope you all have a good weigh in!
As usual I will post your weights Monday :)

Today's Weigh in: 174 !! :D

I'm so happy that my new scale weighs lower than my older ones!!

Well, I started Jogging so my weight was back up to 209 today- I am sure water weight has a LOT to do with it!!! So what is the next challenge? :)

Peatrix - WOW! 7 lbs since Monday?? That's amazing -- how'd u do it? I have a tendency to binge too, it sux...
Urthwurm - hooray for new, lower reading scales!!! =)
rdw1 - i wish i jogged on a regular basis! go girl! oh, and i like ur quote.
jillnicole - i hope u feel better... hot tea helps me when i have a sore throat...

I'm seriously getting serious about losing this weight guys - what's our new challenge gonna be??

I'm at 213.5 today. I've been bouncing all over the scale this week! At one point I was up to 217, so I'm glad to be where I am, even though it's a bit up from last week.

Jill-I hope you're feeling better! I've been feeling a little under the weather too. I think in my case it's the extreme temperature changes. We are at 70 degrees one day and 40 the next! Anyway, take care of yourself!

Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Amy12345 The previous week's binge was just water weight from a huge binge so all I have to do was start back on my normal diet (WW)!

I was thinking about doing weight watchers - i heard it was mad expensive tho -- what do u think about it??

There is plenty of info about ww on here and on the net- but I would recommend at least going to one meeting to get all the tools and starter kit that they give- lots of times they run specials where you don't haev to pay the joining fee- or the first week is only 15 bucks... I would call your local center and ask if they have any specials!

Thanks for the good wishes on my cold, its driving me crazy :) Please let me know if I missed your weigh in!

I haven't been doing so well (big surprise). For the past few weeks, I've been having the worst indigestion. Not cool! Yesterday was my worst birthday ever. This weekend my mother told me she was going to find a soy ice cream cake and we'll celebrate it then. Apparently, it's very hard to find a soy ice cream cake in my area. Not cool. I'll probably end up getting a slice of vegan "cheese" cake from a vegetarian restaurant I like.

Robot-Sorry your bday wasn't the best ever.....Happy Belated Birthday!!! vegan cheesecake sounds soooo good!!!!!!

Thanks haleygirl. Yes, vegan cheesecake is delicious!

Happy Belated B-Day, Robot~!!! =) I'm sorry your birthday was -- shall we say less than amazing... hope your week gets better ;-)
I am so excited I'm getting new bedroom furniture today :) and I weighed 145.8 today thank GOD it's moving down instead of up now! So what is our new challenge anyway? I am thinking May 1-June 1 goal: 8 lbs...

how about 1st goal mothers day to fathers day and 2nd goal till july 4th?

Sounds good, i'm in!

Thanks Ami.

I'm in for the next challenge too.

I'm in!

ok im convinced that its not possible to eat a grapefruit and not get the juice all over the place....what the heck!! i really hope im not the only one lol i guess i could cut into bite size pieces...ive been making wedges but it squirts everywhere!

Hey girls!

I'm at 211.5 today! I've had a crazy week, but I've been able to stay on plan, which is great. Usually when I'm stressed the first thing I reach for is bread and Earth Balance!


Have a great Friday!

omg i luv grapefruit~! i'm going to publix 2day to buy groceries -- send me some healthy vibes ladies! i am weak! anyway i rode my bike 15 miles yesterday (with a 20 lb baby boy on the back no less)... but then i had gained a pound this morning...???!!! what is that about? I am thinking maybe it's sodium/water weight bc my fingers feel swollen. i ate healthy yesterday, so i have no clue. whatever. either way i think it will go away. so i am at 146 today.

Don't forget today is weigh in...

keeping the challenges coming sound like a wonderful idea :) July 4th is a good one.

196

Weigh In: 173.4 lbs !!! :carrot:

I was so excited to see those numbers! My weight hadn't moved for a while, and then went up by half a pound! I was so scared that I might go and gain everything back. But here it is, next week and the scary little gain has vanished, along with another pound. :D

172.6

what happen :(

206.8

151

Glad to see the scale back down to an even 170 today. Must have just had a bad week! Or that 12 mile run yesterday did me some good and got some water weight off me. *phew*

Hello ladies.. I will post your Friday's weights a little later today just in case if anyone else needs to weigh iN! :)

Also I wanted to let you know I know alot of you are ready to start a new challenge with new end dates..
so if anyone would like to be the leader/moderator of the new challenge feel free to speak up :)

I'm a lot busier now and would like to switch over if anyone has some extra time... thank you everyone :hug:

so if anyone would like to be the leader/moderator of the new challenge feel free to let me know and we can start a new challenge, sorry ive been so busy lately!!

wow its a ghost town in here what happened!! I had to cancel my internet and at this moment i'm on a wireless connection but it's not dependable so i wont join the next challenge but i was hoping to pop in and see how everyone is doing. Yesterday was awful i just couldn't stop eating, it was all TOMs fault though lol anyway im back to being good. Does anyone have a Moe's southwest grill near them? I just heard about them and i hear they have vegetarian things! and vegan as long as i tell them no cheese and sour cream. Im going there today!

I've been up and down the same 3 pounds over the last couple weeks. Not sure what's up with that. 171.2 as of this morning.

We have Moe's here but I usually go to Qdoba since it's right across the street from my house. Pretty much any of those "make your own burrito" type places are vegan friendly, you just need to make sure they don't use pork in the beans (black beans at Chipotle are veg, pintos are not).

I just got my shipment of Go Max Go (http://www.gomaxgofoods.com/products.htm) candy bars. My plan is to make them last a good long time, but damn they are heavenly. I have to pay shipping to get my hands on these now, but my co-op is considering carrying them, in which case I may need to practice some self control. :o

Half marathon is 1 week 2 days away, I am freakin excited! :carrot:

Hey there,
I'm at 210.5 this morning which is a pound down from last week, but irritating because I was at 209.5 on Wednesday. But I'll take the pound!

This is the first time I've been able to get onto the site since Tuesday. For some reason I keep getting locked out. Is anyone else having problems? I only have problems on this site.

Anyway, have a great weekend!

Darby-- I'm not having any problems getting in, but haven't been getting in often! :hugs:

How do you really feel? :) I wouldn't mind doing it but I'm not really sure what to do and I am also new to this board. - If you can explain to me what needs to be done and no one minds a newbie then I am in.

Hello All! I would have offered, but I just started school -- I am going back for elementary education. So between that and my baby I have alot on my plate as it is... Thin4Good, you've got my vote!
I weighed 145 yesterday. Then I ate veggie pizza. And candy. I do not want to weigh myself again until I have done better. I feel so guilty for eating that crap! I need to be eating salads and fruit!

You would just start a new challenge thread.. post everyones weight every Monday... remind everyoen to weigh in thursday and tell them it is weigh in on Friday.. that is pretty much what I did :)

ok- I'm sorry. It turns out that I will not be able to do this for the next few weeks. I will be out of town. I am not sure how often I'll be able to get online during that time. :(
