Mary - why does DH give you grief over take off? I make salads for my DH also when I do takeoff - but if he's not up to it, I make him whatever he wants to eat... He told me yesterday that he "loves his new wife" :)

he gives me grief about how unhealthy he thinks it is- he thinks it is faddish and that you can only lose weight by long term changes. Blah blah blah he's even more overweight than I am! I really dislike TO myself but it is great to get a boost when you are stalled.

Yea, I used to get some looks when I did takeoff, especially over the juice. Everyone thought it was that hollywood juice that makes you "run" for 2 days. I just smiled gave a brief description and went on.

One Week Mark
 

Ok guys, it's been one week since I posted this challenge, I know we all joined in at different times, but make sure to update and let us all know how you are doing.

My mini goal today is to really get all of my veggies in. I've been doing ok with everything else but have really only been getting 2 veggies in a day. So I'm going to work on that today.

I also found out my mom is going to come visit in 2 weeks! I'm excited and am trying to use that time frame as a goal to get 5 more lbs off by then!

I really hope you all are doing well!

Well, I am moving right along! I may even surpass my Vday goal! That will be a HUGE first!

Keep it up chicks!

Wow! Was it the threat of the picture in bike pants that has you all so motivated?! I am very impressed :)

oops - I think that threat was in the Race to 20 - but it could work here as well!

LOL, it was etched into my brain Julie, it has me motivated everywhere!

Hello...I am on track with my weekly exercise goal having completed 8 of the 10 miles...yippee! I am trying to create a 2-week menu plan by this weekend with the hope that it will make my last 2 weeks on the LA Express Menu plan (Plan 3 with lites) will be easier.

:)

Hi everybody,

I did okay this week. I didn't lose quite a pound but I'm still happy with any loss. I have been excercising very well since the beginning of the year. I made a promise to myself that I would put my health first this year. I know that I will never be perfect with my diet (I just like too many things that aren't great for you). However, I can always do better with my diet and there is no reason I can't walk every day. Well, enough with the soap box. Here are my numbers this week.

1/2/09 - 153
1/9/09 - 152.2 (-.8) yeah!

Can't wait to post next week.

Hi everyone. Hope you're sticking with this challenge. Whew, this hasn't been easy for me. I've been fighting and clawing not to eat late at night, and PREVAILED! I'm posting my weight as of this morning 1/10. This was the first week I've stayed entirely on plan for MONTHS! We're supposed to be getting snow, so I'm headed to the gym early today. Have a great day everyone!

1/03 172
1/10 167

P.S. were we supposed to edit our weight on our original post? I know some challenges prefer that....or maybe someone is starting a new weekly results thread?? I'm posting here for now and will await further instructions. Haha!

GREAT LOSSES!!

Lady-it's up to you how you want to post! I happen to like seeing the updates as new posts just so I don't have to go back, but i know it makes the pages more lengthy.

I'm so amazed at everyone's progress. I w/i tomorrow. I was not perfect this weekend, but I hope I can still show a loss.
