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! :coach: 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:shrug: 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

Hey everyone! Happy weigh-in day!

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 :D Just to make sure, is your new weight 11.8? Or 118? ;)

TODAY IS WEIGH IN :)

YUP OUR NEW WEIGH IN DAY IS EVERY THURSDAY!

SW: 170

CW: 168.5

Lost: 1.5 lbs :cheer2:

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....
