Hey Jillnicole,

I kept checking to see when you would start this thread. I'm really excited to be in it from the beginning this time! I hope to get to know everyone.

Everything is going well. I'm experimenting with quarn, soy meats, and tofu and having a lot of fun. I've noticed that I have a lot more energy now and my skin for some reason has improved (from the fruit and veggies?).

I'm trying to learn to be happy with my body right now as it is. Although sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and am not happy with what I see, mostly I like my body. I don't think I need to loose much more weight so I'm experimenting to see where I'm happiest.

CW: 112
Thanksgiving: 110
Christmas Eve: 107?

I might not want to go down to 107. I'm pretty short 5'2''. I think I might just work on building some more muscle to gain the figure I want.

Dee

Hello again Tigger I'm glad you joined! I'm still trying to empirement with different recipes There is so many new things.. my favorite site to get recipes is www.vegweb.com they have lots of vegan friendly recipes and most have pictures, which I love! We are all about new foods, and loving ourselves more so this is the perfect place for you. I usually try to post a happy goal every week, because its definitely not just about losing the weight, but loving ourselves inside and out.

Have you seen the tv show How to Look Good Naked? That's really great with helping women have a new positive outlook, I really like it. Your goals sound perfect! I know you can do it!

Hey chicks! I'm really excited about our new challenge. The last one got me so motivated. You girls are great support!
Also, today marks my 3rd week as a vegetarian. It's been amazing, I've honestly never felt better.

Nov. 3 (start)- 146.4. I gained a wee bit.
Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving)- 140.
Dec. 24 (X-mas Eve)- 135ish. I've never been that low before, so I may not 'look' right. I'm almost 5'9 with a big frame. I guess we'll see!

Good luck everyone!
