Welcome tigger :) You definitely can join :hug: I read the book as well Sept 2and and have been a strict vegetarian since. No meat, or dairy products. It actually is much easier than I realized. There are so many great things to eat! Feel free to ask any questions if you get stuck. I make something new usually every other day. I also love 'fake meat'. :welcome2:

Don't Forget Everyone Tomorrow Is Weigh In,

And It's Actually Our Last Weigh In Before Halloween!! (And if you are new please let meknow your beginning weight for now, and you can have a 10 day mini challenge!

9 Days Until Halloween!!! So Make Sure If You Do Not Weigh In Tomorrow, Definitley Weigh In For Halloween! That's The Big Day ;) Ok I Also Wanted To Let Everyone Know, After Our Halloween Challenge Is Complete, I Was Going To Make A New Challenge For Christmas... How Does Everyone Feel About That, Or Would You All Rather A Thanksgiving Challenge? Let Me Know! :hug:

Can't Wait Till The Weekend!

Either challenge would be good. It's so hard to believe that we're so close to the holidays!!

Arrrggghhhhh Holidays - cannot believe they're here already! I'm in for another challenge. lol my goals won't be quite as lofty this time!

I am totally in for another challenge, I think I would prefer Christmas challenge though-but I am up for either!!!

I was thinking Christmas also, longer to get their lol... Yeah now that I know I lose about .5- 1 lb a week, it will be easier to set a reasonable goal. :)

Christmas with maybe a Thanksgiving check-in to remind us to stay on track during the busy eating months!

Great Idea... Ok our next challenge will be a christmas challenge, and Thanksgiving will be our mini goal!!!!! Yay :)

Remember tomorrow is weigh in :)

I'm new.
I probably didn't lose too much this week, but I know I lost!
Starting weight - 155

Hello veggies! Is it okay if I sign up for the mini-challenge? I'm a fairly recent convert to vegetarianism but I LOVE it! I lurk around the boards for support all the time and I figured it was time to start writing as well.

Starting weight- 147.6

I made hummus today and it actually turned out good! I've tried it before in the past and couldn't get the texture right.

jillnicole-I was inspired by your wrap post, so we spread the hummus on a tortilla, added lettuce, bell pepper and onion slices. Delicious!

I like the idea of a Christmas challenge with a Thanksgiving mini-goal.

Jill, when are you coming to California, and what parts?

I love the idea of a Christmas challenge! Im in Canada so Thanksgiving is long over for me!....Plus, Christmas gives us more time.

Ooh, I want to start the mini-challenge before Halloween! This morning I was: 215.2

Halloween goal: 212. We'll see what TOM has to say about that, though...

Morning Girlies :)

I'm at 201.6 this AM. I'm going to try VERY hard to at least hit 199.8 before next Friday but we'll see. My weight loss has significantly slowed down from before. Partially because I've upped my calories a bit due to running more - I was literlly starving stomach growling at the end of the day. I'm accepting the slow-down the just keeping on keeping on.

What are your weekend plans?

I'm going to see Saw V tonight and then tomorrow is my roommate's birthday. I'll be making her strawberry cupcakes (vegan!). She's very cool about me being vegan and profits from the tasty treats I make! We're going to a "Gravediggers Ball" Saturday night and I get to dress up - yea! Not quite where I wanted to be weightwise for costumes but I feel pretty good in it.
