Hey RDW.. did I mention how darn cute your halloween outfit is? Do you keep a food journal? That really helps me, maybe it can help you too! You'll do great this challenge! We will help!

Hey everyone!

I've been doing pretty good. I might have over eaten a bit, but I'm not actually sure. I think since I'm eating lower calorie foods I need to eat more, so the size of my meals have grown. Has anyone else noticed the quantity of food your eating is much more than you used to eat? I have giant plates of stir-fried veggies lol. I guess we will see at weigh in if I've been eating too much.

I've had fun the last couple days cooking. I had some stuffed mushrooms, vegetarian samosas, tufu stirfry, and fake chicken meat enchilladas! I even found a loaf of dairy free bread (hooray! I haven't had bread in three weeks because the stores in Ireland don't carry any bread that is dairy/egg free) I think for dinner I'm going to make tacos with some mycoprotein mince meat I have. Oh, if any of you are craving something sweet frozen grapes are amazing! I just froze another batch today.

Good luck on weigh in tomorrow everyone!

I voted yesterday, its too bad the nearest Starbucks is an hour away! Im sure they will build one here within a few years its only a matter of time.

Thanks Jillnicole I rented that pirate costume! I love your's a vegetarian vampire so cute!

Im going join those of you who keep food journals. I think its time I give myself a reality check!

Thanks jill! You look stunning as well! I use calorieking. Bought the software and love it! So far with everything input as "planned" today about 1000 calories, I ALWAYS tend to add a couple hundred more unintentionally! But, 1200 is my goal each day!

tigger... Yes when I eat lower calorie foods I do tend to eat a little more, and I'm definitely fine with that! Actually, I love it! I love eating more

Jasmine.. How do you rent a costume? How much is it roughly to rent? That sounds awesome! Thanks! Food journal is a bumme rbecause you actually have to write/type it all, but it is helpful! I think ti will help!

RDW... Thank you! Oh Calorieking is awesome Sounds like you are doing great :P

I rented it from a shop in Maine.
http://www.costumesofmaine.com/
they have about 3500 costumes in stock.

I will proabably go there again next year!

it drives me nuts that the day before weigh in im so nervous i always go over my cals....i can be fine all week but then the day before i just am eating all day long and i just ate a huge salad with lettuce, carrots, pickles, red onion and hot peppers with balsamic salad spritzer so hopefully ill stay full until i go to bed lol

HAley... your salad sounds great, as long as you are over eating on veggies you should be fine

Tigger.. Thanks for weighing in so promptly Just to make sure, is your new weight 11.8? Or 118?

TODAY IS WEIGH IN

OK, so I think I need to go ahead and adjust my start weight... its been higher than I thought since the beginning of the challenge... it was o ver 200 but I weighed in at 199.6 today so can we adjust it to that? darn, I was really hoping to go down this week... I have been bad though, and it shows.
Today is a new day though! and I will lose this week!!!!!

I think tigger's is 111.8?

Is today weigh-in day, or is it tomorrow?

I'm trying to make exercise a habit, so I'm challenging myself to work out 21 days in a row (because that's how long it's supposed to take to make or break a habit). Today will be day 4/21.

I think I need one day that's a bit less strenuous, so I was thinking pilates. Does anyone do pilates and can you recommend a good dvd?

Have a great day, everyone!

RDW- so do you want me to put your start weight at 200? Yeah your right I think she meant 111.8 also.

Hi Guys!
Well, no weight loss this week. Still 225. Better luck next week I guess!
Im glad I made my goals reasonable so that I still have a chance to reach it.

Darby1, I have used Winsor Pilates in the past and liked it. Maybe I should start doing it again....
