    Lets have an official weigh in on Wednesdays. If you currently weigh in on another day, just weigh again on Wednesday and start from there. Hope everyone is having a great week. Set a goal for the next week, whether it be increase activity, stick to a plan or learn something new.

    Gluten free Guilt Free Pizza....ok it isn't pizza but it tastes pretty good

    "Rice" one head of cauliflower (not the stems) To rice it means either to cut it up really small or put it in a food processor
    Cook it in the microwave for 8 minutes and let it cool
    "Ring" out the extra water by using a tea towel

    Add 1/2 cup of ground flax seed
    3 eggs
    1 c veggie cheese or parmesan
    1 T dried basal
    1T dried oregano

    mix by hand with the cauliflower and pat into a flat circle and place on parchment sprayed with oil

    Put in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

    Put on your favorite toppings and place under the broiler

    I used chopped fire roasted tomatoes, basil, and sliced peppers

    so how does it really taste?

    The diet I am on is totally grain/bread free, so it tasted somewhat like a bread product. Given that pizza is my all time favorite food, this was a nice replacement.

    Hello Group, Today is Weigh in Wednesday. Hope everyone achieved their goal this week. If you haven't, you need a plan not just "I want to lose weight" you need a "I'm going to lose x pounds this month by doing x,y,z."

    Good luck to all.

    I weighed myself, didn't lose any weight this week but my jeans are slightly looser, so, that's good. :smile:

    Lost 3 pounds this week. Not expecting that because I ate all my food, drank my water, .....
    Down to 133.2. My goal is ultimate goal is 125 which will get me firmly into the normal BMI.

    Workout 30-50 minutes per day, cardio and strength with one day off per week.
    Meditation twice per week.
    Drink at least 64 oz. of water per day.

    My goal was to lose 4 pounds in the month but since I'm ahead of schedule, I'll change it to 6 pounds for the month.1318753hrho4qy6r8.gif

    I know tomorrow is weigh in day and I'm not looking forward to it.:frown: After having that nice unexpected large weight loss in a week, I went back up and then some. :explode: So tomorrow morning will be an interesting weigh in.:glasses:
    I am starting to play with my calorie intake based on time of day. Perhaps if I eat more for breakfast I won't feel ravinous by 4 pm.:tongue::tongue:

    I had a higher calorie breakfast today and I'll do it again tomorrow. I hope that helps me keep the cravings under control.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    As I expected, the scale revealed a high number: 137.2. Bummer.
    What's weird is I don't feel bigger by 5 pounds. My waist is the same, my water content in my body has gone up slightly which is good. My metabolic age is still 44 even though chronologically I am 52. Maybe my body is readjusting itself. I'll have to see if this is a trend.
    Good luck to everyone else.

    How is everyone doing with their goal? What has been working or not working? Do you weigh yourself daily or once a week? Exercise or no exercise? What is your favorite recipe?

    Don't despair it is most likely water weight or constipation. Go my your measurements and wait 2 weeks. Good luck!

    I have 10 pounds left to lose and find that weight loss is crawling to a snails pace of 1 pound a week! Frustrated....
