So besides sleeping for 12hours & feeling more than a little crappy when I woke up, I do have some good news! Despite the period monster being present, I still managed to lose a few pounds!! I started at 190.6 & I weighed in today at 187.4, which means I've lost 3.2lbs!!!! :carrot:
Congrats everyone on your losses as well! Great job, & keep it up! MY WEIGH IN: 187.4 My Vote: Zucchini Bikini Babes |
Congrats on getting to the 180s Urthworm!!!
|
Weigh-in: 157.3
Vote: Veggie Vixens I'm kind of unimpressed with this number--two weeks ago before the challenge started, I was down 2 more lbs than this. THIS WEEK WILL BE BETTER! |
Thanks Twish, & congrats on your 5lb loss!! That's great! Sorry that you hurt your ankle, but I'm impressed that you're persevering through it! Keep on walking and doing whatever you can, that's the best you can do; just don't push yourself too hard, okay? You still need to heal.
|
Thanks urthworm!
I can't believe how excited I am over 5 pounds. I had been at the same weight for over a year. I guess I am excited that I am finally doing something about it. I lost a lot of weight (80 lbs) about 6 years ago and then put it all back on (and then some)for various reasons. I didn't feel this positive last time, so hopefully this time I'll keep it off! |

But I worked real hard, like really really hard and took some off. So my official weigh in is....225! I know its 1 pound above my SW, but I feel better weighing in at 225 then at 228 which I was earlier in the week!!! Good job guys and keep up the great and hard work!!:hug: |

Hey Veggie Vixens :devil:
Great job! Does anybody know whatever happened to JackieRN? I haven't seen any of her posts for a while? Hmmmm?! Well guys, good job and being on the Veggie Vixens is such a motivator! Thanks guys Good job Z.B.B & S.S |
yeah there are a couple missing team mates i noticed! :P
|
So today was a good day. Last week I went to the gym 6 times, and today I still felt excited and motivated to go. At the gym, I ran for 6 km on the treadmill (the farthest I have ever gone before was 5) and at the end, the only reason why I stopped was because all the machines were taken and there was a lady waiting (there is a half hour max on the equipment)...at the end I felt like I could go forever. It was amazing. I lost a pound of sweat in that hour (hot, huh?)
So, tomorrow I am so excited to go. I have a goal of being able to run 10km and weighing 190 by mid may, and right now for the first time I actually feel like that attainable. I think Ive just discovered that having an honest faith in myself is the best motivator I have ever had. For all the reasons to succeed, not wanting to disappoint myself is the best ever. |
WOW ErinMagill!!! that is amazing! Great job!
|
Great job Erin!! :cheer2:
Good morning dieters! Hope you all are having a great week :) |
i had a cup of my moms mcdougall chili omg soo good!!
tommorrow is my surgery EEEEEEKKKK!!!!! what happened to everyone? 2 people of my team are MIA. |
Erin-that's awesome!!
Haley-Can you post the chili recipe? Also, good luck with your surgery! We've been having really nice weather lately, so Jill and I went hiking Sunday (I'm guessing it was between 3 and 4 miles) and yesterday I went on a 4 mile hike with my husband. I am loving this weather! Looks like we'll be back into winter by Saturday, though, so I'm going to try to get out a few more times before then. Have a great day, everyone!! |
Spicy Mexican Chili
2 cups dried red beans 1 medium onion -- chopped 2 stalks celery -- chopped 7 ounces green chiles -- canned 1 cup tomato sauce 1 tablespoon oregano -- ground 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 bunch green onions -- chopped 2 teaspoons lime juice 5 cups water 1 medium green bell pepper -- chopped 2 teaspoons minced garlic 28 ounces chopped tomato -- canned 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, whole -- chopped dash tabasco sauce Place beans and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for an hour. Add the remaining ingredients except for green onions, cilantro, and lime juice and cook an additional 2 hours. Add green onions and cilantro and cook an additional hour. Stir in the lime juice. Put in seasonings and stir in some tabasco sauce if desired. Source: "McDougall All-You-Can-Eat Cookbook page 22" I don't think it's very spicy so if you like it hot add more of the spicy seasonings Darby1-Thanks for wishing me luck...I imagine it will be uncomfortable to swallow so maybe it will help my weigh in lol |
erinmagill - you're amazing! the words you post really caused me to do some reflection. thanks!
haley - good luck with your surgery! everything will turn out just fine! also, that chili recipe looks great! i'll have to try it! i made some yummy butternut squash bisque this weekend. it was great! it's been a great week so far as i am down 1.5lbs. yay! i need to exercise more!! |
Way to go Lentilbean :cheer2:
|
You guys are doing awesome!!! If you have teammates that don't want to continue I would be glad to take someones place! I decided March 1 I was mentally prepared and serious about losing this time! Good luck to you all and let me know if you need a new teammate!
|
Hey RDW1... You can definitely still weigh in every Friday we have one other person who weighs in on their own :) The teams can be re-arranged after St Pattys Day!
You can do it! Glad to see you back around girly :hug: |
hey all, veggie vixen checking in! I am exhausted, just finished a proposal for a project (really haven't slept in about 48 hours) but other than a bag of chex mix I didn't over-do it eating while i was working. Yey!
Hope you all are having a good week, and I will be back tomorrow once I've gotten a chance to sleep! |
Cool- My start weight was 212.4 on March 1... I will just go from after that~! Unless you started a while before that in which case the week before was at 214.6... either way you wanna start me is fine!
|
Hey Guys :wave:
Well I just left class and I'm at Whole Foods. So I was wondering does anybody have any ideas that I can make for dinner since I'm already here!!!?? thanks for any inputs! |
Sorry I haven't been checking in. I officially have no internet, so I'm only posting because I'm at my GF's mom's house. It's pretty difficult right now because I have no hours at my official job, and the only money I'm making is from my online business. I had applied for foodstamps as did my GF, and we were both getting support until we found out today that she'll only be getting $16 a month now instead of $176!!! They added her income for December from our online businesses, and decided since she made $2000 that month that she doesn't need support for the other 11 months of the year! Now we're making barely enough to pay rent, and perhaps the bills, but eating is apparently out of the question. I already spent my food stamps this month on stocking our pantry with spices and some frozen veggies & pasta. I'm thinking I should return half the crud I bought and try and make that money last for the month. Just oatmeal for breakfast, salad for lunch, and soups for dinner. We'll probably do okay if we go off that (I hope!).
|
UrthWurm-Do u you have a store like Mr. G's, where the dented cans and smooshed boxed food go, they usually take food stamps and it's much cheaper.
|
Iris.. good job on not over snacking! Chex mix can be hard to resist :)
Ok Rikki I will start you at 214.6, the challenge started Feb 19th :) Shananigans is also weighing alone, so you can be each others support, as well as have everyone else still! :cheer2: Urthworm... I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time!! One cheap thing you can buy is a big thing of spaghetti sauce and cheap spaghetti noodles, that always lasts awhile for me for cheap. :hug: and Haleys idea is also a good one.. can food stores are awesome. Big Lots can be good for odds and ends, and a lot of towns have places where you can go get food boxes. |
By the way, I can't give you an official winner of last week, because we had a few people who did not weigh in, but out of the people who did weigh Twish lost 5 lbs last week!
Way to go Twish... so the Veggie Vixens of Team 2 are week 1 winners :cheer2: :dust: |
Hey Urthwurm-Sorry you're going through such a tough time. I've heard a lot about Angel Food Ministries. I don't know how much vegetarian food is in a box, but apparently you get a lot of food pretty inexpensively, and anyone can get it.
Jill-I know you're leaving tomorrow, so I just wanted to tell you to have a safe trip! Let us know when you get home safe and sound! Haley-your chili recipe looks good. How did surgery go? |
Angel food is really great price-wise but at least in PA where I know we had it it was a LOT of meat. But maybe you could look into that and "trade" with someone who eats meat?
|
Haley - hope surgery went well!
urth - eek sorry, dried beans, cheapo pasta, canned veggies. It's not ideal but hopefully it will get you through in a pinch. I've been uber busy girls, sorry for not being around! I am out of town right now on business in Elgin, SC. It's sorta near Columbia. I did drive into Columbia last night and got a hot meal - seitan delmonico from Rosewood Market. OMG it was soo good! There is a totally veggie and mostly vegan place in downtown also but I dont' think I'll have time to make it there before I leave :( |
