Last week I was 230, this week 228.....8 more pounds! I have high hopes!

Hi girls- I have been gone for so long its like there is no catching up with yall! Thats ok though- I am sure there will always be another challenge... I just saw where you were thinking on how to eat your brussel sprouts jill and I was remembering when I was a kid my mom always used to make them with a nutritional yeast gravy that suprisingly enough was pretty good! and very healthy!

CHICKpea... Good for you, sometimes just staying the same weight can be the most difficult!! :hug:

Kindymom... I didnt even think of youtube! Thank you! :)

ERIN... you can do it!! We know you can! :cheer2:

RDW/RIKKI.... Mmm that sounds yummy! Even if you arn't losing you can still always post! :hug: I think after our halloween challenge we can do a christmas challenge. Dont forget about us!!


HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND :)

quick question... I want to try this recipe for vegan mac& cheese my coworker gave me. It's made with nutritional yeast. Where in the grocery store would I find that?

I'm doing okay, as I mentioned, letting the scale collect dust for awhile and trying to focus on getting healthy. I started putting stickers on my wall calendar for good days (nothing like a little grade-school style motivation) and I can say that I had 4 good days this week. Really I should say 5 because the fact that I ate a few cookies Friday at a social event isn't the end of the world.

enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Iris you can do it I know you can! :hug: I have no clue where you'd find nutritional yeast, I'm always walking around the grocery store like a idiot lol in circles.. trying to find anything!!! They hide things I swear! lol

I always get it at the local healthfood store or from the co-op.... I think maybe it would be in the health food section of the grocery, not sure though!

I will keep posting and popping in occasionally! I am gearing up to start fresh with South beach tomorrow! Lots of good food bought this afternoon for the week! I will definitely be in for a Christmas challenge! I am still challenging myself for halloween just after gaining from the wedding and honeymoon my goal is to be back under 200! Sheesh!

The store I usually shop at is a big health food store... but I have no idea where the nutritional yeast would be located! I tried looking all over last time I was there, thought about asking but I have some anxiety issues and I just couldn't.

I bought it for the first time at Wholefoods - it was in the vitamin and supplement area. Big can, like the ones protein powder comes in.

Hey! I'm new here! Thought I'd give the challenge a go.
I'm a lacto-vegetarian. Been that way for 3 months! I started doing it for the animals, but discovered I lost 5 pounds without trying.

One day I'll drop the milk and become vegan. :3

Nooch (nutritional yeast) - I've only found it in the "health" food stores. I buy it in the bulk bins because it's quite a bit cheaper there. You can also order it online.

Welcome skinny teen!


Have a good day all!

Welcome SKINNY TEEN! :hug:

OK if you dont have 2 weights, you didnt weigh this week :) So be ready for this Friday. Lose or gain we're all still here for you, and it happens to all of us. Of course we all want to lose weight, but come on since when did things get easy! We can do it, slow or fast, all of us! :dust:

Hey there,
I had such a crazy week last week that I was too scared to get on the scale! So for Friday's weigh in I'm just sticking my head in the sand.

We went to Boulder on Saturday to have lunch. The restaurant was all vegan, fast food type of place. It was AWFUL!! It was very expensive ($40 for 3 of us) and the food was just terrible.

So, if you're ever in Boulder, avoid VG Burgers.

You guys are doing great with the weight loss. I'm so proud of you all.

I find it hard to find tasty vegan places. I am not a vegan, but have vegan tendencies so I like trying vegan restaurants out. I suppose that makes it all the better when you do find one.

DARBY.. ok was it soo bad because it was so fattening or gross? :P

Littlelily, what state are you in? It's great to look up on a search engine like yahoo or google different vegan friendly restaurants. I went to one while I was in Denver, CO it was so dang good! Watercress I think it was called. :)
