Hey everyone :) Ready for the weekend!! I AM FOR SURE! :cheer2:
Hope this week is going great for you all. I got back from Colorado Tuesday night and when I left I was 176, now on my scale I said 177 and today I say 178.... since I have been eating so healthy I don't feel quilty.. I think it's probably TOM being sneaky ;)

WEIGH IN IS TODAY
As soon as I have everyone or almost everyones stats I'll post. Have a wonderful Friday ladies!

Me: Start 177 Today 178

I refuse to weigh in until TOM is over :)

It's just my thing I do. People usually retain water, see that number, and get depressed. I just refuse.

I just try to resist my horrible cravings and go about my merry way.

Expect a weigh in next week though!

I stay away from the scale from about a week before TOM until it's over, because like THE Heather said, it's just too depressing.

Yesterday I ate really well all day. I didn't work out because I had to go into town for grocery shopping and by the time I got home I was not in the mood for working out. Grocery shopping for me (and for most vegetarian/vegans) isn't just running to the nearest store. I have to drive 20 miles just to get to civilization, then I have to go from one end of town to the other to pick up everything I need. I hate grocery shopping day! I've managed to work it so that I only do it every two weeks, but still...it sucks.

Today I will be working out. I'm going to eat pretty light, because my husband is bringing home Thai food, and even though it seems healthy, I'm sure it's not. So I want to balance the rest of the day. And make sure I eat healthy for the rest of the weekend. Weekends are sort of my downfall!

Have a great day, everyone!

Oh it's that time again. 158.5. The weight isn't going anywhere. Ho hum. But, I have now been vegetarian for 16 days :) :carrot:.

A really, really, really big thank you to Jill! Without this thread I'd still be contemplating it and moving in that direction oh so very very gradually. You are the best cheerleader ever!

:thanks:

happy friday, everyone!

i'm still 133.5... same as my start weight.

In other news, I did make a promise to myself to better schedule my time so I can spend more time working out :D


Three cheers!

OK ladies =] Sounds liek a few of us are dealing with TOM, but next week will be a new week! And for the couple of you that remained the same weight... that's great I think.. even though we want to lose weight fast sometimes it comes off slowly.. the most important thing is for that number not to go up. =]

Don't forget... stay stress free!!
Light a candle... listen to slow songs... take a drive in the country... have a warm cup of tea... take a nap... whatever helps you relax :)

OH and due to TOM until I'm finished... I'm definitley not changing my ticker back to 177.. and def not to 178!! lol

Hii
I am deff. ready for the weekend!! I guess I'll wait till next weigh in since i just started..then ill be caught up w/ everyone. Ive been good though so far, bike riding, dance class, and gym along w/ eating healthy! jillnicole i really liked ur article about soy vs. cow milk...have any of u girls tried rice milk?? Good Karma makes a absolutely delicious chocolate rice milk (tastes just like yoohoo) and they also make a line of rice ice cream~amazing! really satisfies the TOM cravings btw..it doesnt have all the protein that soy milk has but it is a good alt. and is great in shakes where u can add maybe hemp powder(which is what i do) to get the protein.
Anyways You all have a wonderful weekend!!:goodvibes

I havn't tried rice milk yet... but I want to :)

Rice milk, imo really has no flavor, although I'll drink the rice chocolate milk.

That's just me though :D

Weigh-in today is 160.5. :)

Thank you Kindy!

Just to remind everyone today is WEIGH IN :)

I forgot to post my weight. It's 213! So I did drop last weekend's pounds, but I'm just back where I started.

Also, I just had Vietnamese food that my husband brought home (I think I wrote Thai food in my last post). It was SO good. Lemongrass tofu and spring rolls. I used to eat this meal once a month (right around TOM) when I worked near the restaurant, but now only make it every 3 or 4 months, which is probably a good thing.

Anyway, I had my delicious meal, I walked 4 miles today and I have the weekend planned full of salads and vegan bbq (seitan satay).

I only use rice milk (I don't drink it straight-just use it for cooking). But I do think the chocolate rice milk is delicious and will sometimes buy it in the winter to warm up for hot cocoa.

Have a great night!

Alright ladies!!! I went to Spiral Diner last night...and had a GREAT meal.

I had the "ate" layer burrito...which was made with taco "meat", mexican quinoa, black beans, tomato, diced red onion, avocado, corn, black olives, sour cream, and chipotle mayo. It was grilled and sealed in a lovely tortilla. I had it with a side of potato salad :D

THEN for dessert, I had a Hot Cookie Sundae...A warm chocolate chip cookie, topped with "I-scream", chocolate syrup, and whipped cream!.

:drool:

I asked them what kind of sour cream they used (because honestly it's one of the dairy products I have been trying to semi-replicate) and they said Tofutti. It tasted so close to the real thing, I was tempted to buy it. But it'd be horrible for my diet...

As if what I ate last night WASN'T. :p
