IRIS... Sarah Palin would bea good one! She's really pretty, I think that's a great compliment.

Im going as...uhm...a brand new mom that has no where to go on Halloween?....
*sigh*....Oh well! Theres always next year!
BUT, my adorable son is going as a skelleton and for him I have a baby halloween party. Should be adorable!

PS...JILLNICOLE....Thank you sooo much for keeping me on track through these challenges and encouragement! I appreciate your enthusiasm!

Erin... I hope you can take pix of your lil skeleton!! That will be soo cute. Of course baby outfits are the cutest =] and you're welcome. I'm glad to be of any help! I love having our lil family, support is always the best!! So many other people just dont get it like we do! lol

hey all, i've noticed a huge difference in my food choices since going vegan! i keep a food journal on paper and i have a space to tally my veggie servings in the day....before id scramble to get one but the past couple days i have all kinds of marks on it! i rode my bike to school today and on the way home i was caught in the rain so i was wet and cold for 1.8 miles oh well lol

what day is the weigh in for the veggie challenges?

haley, we've been weighing in on fridays - and this friday is halloween already! i've been a mess so i'm just hoping to keep it together this week and then get a fresh start on the next challenge.

jill, i agree sarah palin is really pretty. i don't know if people will get it though if i'm in business dress with an american flag pin or something. i don't really think i look like her! =) I was considering buying a stuffed moose and sticking an arrow out of it to carry around... cos she hunts... moose. which blows my mind. ahh but anway. i don't as of yet have anywhere to go on halloween so who knows if i'll even dress up at all?

thanks iris!

the only place im going is trick or treating with my daughter, and now that i can't have chocolate i feel so relieved, i dont have to worry about how much mini candy bars ill be eating because i wont be eating any lol but i might go to the veggie friendly store in my area and get something for me so don't have to miss out on treats all together lol

Haley... I always try to walk everyday around my neighborhood.. and the other day i was walking it did look like it might rain, and half way through it started pouring down lol... but oh well!!! I guess it hapepns to us all!

IRIS... Haha Moose! That is CRAZY! I hope she eats that thing. Poor lil moosy And I think even if I didnt go anywhere I'd still dress up and take pictures lol I think its just fun being 'someone else' I guess

The scary PMS monster has arrived in a big way and I'm trying to fight it. I lost last night, but today is a new day.

Have a great day, everyone.

Hey girls I've been a bit sick this week on top of TOM - the scales aren't looking pretty. Hoping to reel it back in before Friday. I also need to post some pics from dressing up past Saturday - will do when I get caught up with everything else!

Sorry I've been MIA a bit - things are a bit hectic but I'm still around for the veg girls!

i just finished a 4 mile jog.....ive never done that before....lol my previous personal best distance was 3 miles!

That's awesome! Way to go!



I am very cranky today. I think it is PMS. Uh oh!

great job running, haley!

i'm just popping in for tonight because i'm very tired. couldn't sleep last night for some reason.

Hey everyone. I made it back from my weekend trip on Tuesday and I managed to eat strictly vegetarian the whole time! I ate a little more than usual so I gained a little, but it's almost back off. I'm happy with my weight anyway. So now today is officially two weeks of strict vegetarian eating. I really think that being a vegetarian is something I can do long term and I'm really excited about all the benefits both for my own body and the environment.

Good luck everyone on your weigh-ins tomorrow. And happy early Halloween

Darby... I finally came to terms with the fact that I'm a woman and I'm going to have cravings during that time, so I try to 'plan' that as my chocolate time lol

FatChickBGone... Awww sorry! I hope you feel better. Just take care of *you* and dont worry about the scales to much, that just makes it worse.
Can't wait to see your pix!!!!!

Haley... 4 miles!!!! That's so awesome. I've never been able to run, I can speed walk like a champ, but running.. no. Congrats!!

Kierr... seems like half our group is dealing with TOM!

Iris... peppermint tea is suppose to help you sleep, lavendar tea too i think

tigger... Welcome back! Congrats 2 weeks vegetarian! You can do it!!!




Ok ladies remember TOMORROW IS OUR FINAL WEIGH IN!!!! I will then post the new thread for our fresh start- christmas challenge!

Don't forget to weigh tomorrowwww!
