if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO RE-TRY A FOOD YOU THINK YOU DON'T LIKE. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun tasting something you might end up savoring!

i'm going to re-try butternut squash 'fries'. either that, or beets.

This is a great challenge! I always tried mushrooms just to see if I liked them yet - still a no, except this summer I accidentally ate a ****ake mushroom and really liked it! so I will eat those now!

I think I will try brussel sprouts... might think of something else, but there's not a whole lot out there I don't like so I'm limited... and I will NOT eat liver again EVER!!! LOL

forever it seems i've despised tuna.

......then i decided to give it a chance!

i've taken you up on this challenge and i just ate a sandwich made with tuna melted with cheese, topped with a "mayo" made with avocado, salsa, green onion and celery.

yum!

Hey Challenge people!

I am having a hard time keeping my motivation. The scale hasn't moved consistently downward in almost 2 weeks. It jumps up and down around the same weight. I've been at this weight loss thing a long time...so I know one has to be patient, to be honest when there have been too be slip-ups. But, you know? I've actually never had to really LIVE through an honest to goodness plateau. Impatience...yes. A true plateau...no. I've never had a problem loosing weight when I do the right things (its always been doing the right things that was the problem!) So, I am getting sort of...annoyed.

So, yes, I know I have to be patient. But it would be lovely for a few folks to remind me. Because, my mind is starting to go into diet mode (why don't I try diet pills? Why not give up x food group:? Why not try x new diet I read about on the internet?)...because, its hard to turn down the muffins and pizza and drag oneself to the gym when you just stay the same weight you were at when you were spending your evenings eating grilled cheese sandwiches while watching tv on hulu...

Sounds awesome! But as you know... "Everything's better with cheese" :laugh: Wonder if I should put cheese on my brussel sprouts? LOL

Don't give up! Maybe you just need a change of some sort? Buy a new workout DVD or something? All the best! xo

Nothing lost this week but whilst i have been mostly good sticking to my calories I have still been a bit in xmas mode with evening drinkies so my challenge for myself this week is not drink alcohol and to make sure im drinking my 8 glasses of water (kind of detoxing he he!)

Congrats to everyone that has lost this week and better luck next week to those of us that went up or stayed the same.... still a few weeks to go xx

12/31 - 210.8 (-)

It is really helping me to see others weekly WI on this thread... it is so easy for me to get discouraged when the scale doesn't move for a few weeks (or moves the wrong way!) even though I know it is a trend for that to happen with me and for me to typically only have one or two losses in a month. It still helps to see others who have the same thing happen!
