Hey everyone! Good morning

So yesterday I had some brussel sprouts and usually pre-vegan I would eat them in cheese sauce. So I was thinking of my ideas. They ended up turning out soooooooooooooo good! So I thought I'd share.

First I steamed them for about a minute and 30 seconds. Just by taking the frozen brussel sprouts and putting them in a microwaveable bowl with a lid. While they were heating up I put Tbls of Olive Oil in a small pan, chopped up fresh garlic in to small chunks but not too small and added it to the oil, salt and crushed red pepper also. I then put my brussel sprouts in and let them 'fry' for about 10 minutes. Stirring frequently. At the very end I added a Tbls of Garlic Hosein sauce (in the asian food aisle) then left it in th epan another minute.

Oh my goodness, it was really quick and easy and SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!

ohhh those sound good Jill. I'm still learning to appreciate brussel sprouts and normally put a tomato sauce over them.

Jill - I have a season pass to Carowinds and went to Scarowinds a few weekends ago - you do get your walking in!!

I'm down to 202.4 today which is only a 6lb loss for this challenge but I'm feeling my mojo coming back which is more important. I also went closet shopping (I do so about every 6 weeks) and even though my weight hasn't changed much I was pleasantly surprised about some things I could fit into now

151.5 today. Slow, but I can live with that. I'm just thrilled that I'm actually still losing after I stopped counting calories.

And guess what?! Today was my last day of C25K!!! I can hardly believe it. *Lots* of running progress left to make, but dang, it all feels so doable now.

You ladies are doing great! Slow is hard for us to deal with, but great for our body and keeping it off long term!

EVERYONE ELSE DONT FORGET TO WEIGH IN

Today I am 157.5. I have been inspired lately by watching "You Are What You Eat" on BBC America. Does anyone else watch that?

friday already? wow... this week went fast. I'm still not stepping on the scale - part of loving myself and trying to be healthy right now is not letting myself focus on how much I weigh.

weird but after reading some of your recent posts i could really go for some brussels sprouts... they're not my favorite but i haven't had them in a long time and they sound VERY appetizing the way you prepared them!

rock on ladies, keep at it - halloween is almost here!

Hii Girls!!

You all are doing great!
When I weighed in yesterday I was 146. I think some of us are losing slow is probaly because our bodies are at a comfortable level. Well atleast I think thats whats goin on w/ me. BUt definitely on a positive note....I have a past of juggling 10 lbs up and down (almost everytime i would lose, i would be at that weight for maybe a week then gain it right back..I know its the typical yo yo) but since joining you girls i've pretty much stayed the same. So I thankyou all for always being there for support

Hope u all have a fabulous weekend!

jillnicole03, if you don't have BBC America, you can find some of the shows on YouTube. Just search for "You Are What You Eat BBC" and you will get a lot of episodes.
