    Silly question...The carbs in fruit/veggies eg.mushrooms are those ok for the carb free day? I hope so lol I will definitely be staying away from the starchy carbs breads, potatoes, rice etc...just getting my menu together for tomorrow and noticed the carbs in mushrooms lol. I just want to be sure that I am doing it right .

I will ask if someone can put this on the thread as I don't have access to a computer.. Thanks guys do your best I'll be back later to see how your all doing xxxx"

    That's a message from Andreaie, good luck guys :)

    guys just to verify i wasnt meant to write idiot it was suppose to say if you can do the normal ones but my stupid phone decides to make up its own words... so for those of you who have done normal ones YOU ARE NOT IDIOTS YOUR MY HERO!!! LOL

    today will be my carb-free day..as I decided it, my mother started making pasta, buyed bread, was making homemade yummy crackers... :sick: :grumble:

    Is anybody else struggling with the 8 cups of water, or only me?

    Speaking of challenge, I so not have strength in my arms.. doing so many, even with the modified version is terrible. xD I'll try it though, if I'm not able, I'll just do the rest with situps or squats!

    thats a nightmare... how did it go anyway (your carb free day )

    Andreaie: Happy Thursday.. As most of you are doing no carb today I'm gonna set the challenge as a 20 min brisk power walk.. Make sure that today of all days you drink all of your water it will help with the weigh in tomorrow.. Can one of you post this on the thread again please :) next week I'll be asking for ideas for mini challenges so get the thinking caps on :)

    Good luck guys.

    thats a nightmare... how did it go anyway (your carb free day )

    It went fine, I was just eating soooo many carbs and proteins, and am now lowering in general everything down, yesterday I felt really tired and without strength, but it's getting better.
    I didn't eat anything carby like rice etc, BUT I had carbs anyway, because of eggs, veggies and fruits :S I hope this doesn't matter!
    Also, I'm keeping it up with exercise and the 8 water-cups (well, now 10 too!!) ! I hope it really does help, lol!

    For today's challenge, I wan't to eat 5 pieces of raw fruit/veggies and do added to my daily workout 15 min of ropes!

    Good luck everybody today! Keep it on, friday (and so -1 week) is near! :D

    I think your decision to keep it open is fantastic! :)
    I managed to drink 10 big cups of water!! more than 2 liters :D

    I'm struggling though with my mothers cooking.. in my home everybody is very thin, the only with thyroid problems is me.. and they cook cakes and pies and stuff, and I have to restrain so much to not eat anything of it.. sniff
