    Hey guys! I went down a pound this week, woo! It was honestly a miracle that I didn't gain any, considering that I had thanksgiving this week.

    While we're all eagerly awaiting week 3's results to be posted, here's a recipe from the "Hungry Girl" cookbook that I'm thinking about trying. To give you a point of reference, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have 130 calories, 7g fat, and 14 carbs per cup (not per package).
    chunky & nutty frozen pb cups
    PER SERVING (1 pb cup): 78 calories, 2g fat,
    123mg sodium, 11.5g carbs, 0.5g fiber, 2.5g
    sugars, 2g protein

    Ingredients
    1 small (4-serving) package sugar-free fat-free
    chocolate instant pudding mix
    One 8-ounce container Cool Whip Free, thawed
    2 ounces (about ½ cup) dry-roasted soy nuts
    1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1 tablespoon reduced-fat peanut butter, room
    temperature
    Directions
    Place pudding mix in a medium bowl. Add 3 ounces
    (¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons) warm water. Stir until
    smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
    In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon Cool Whip with
    peanut butter until mixed well. Stir into the pudding
    mixture.
    Stir in half of the soy nuts and all of the mini chocolate
    chips. Fold in remaining Cool Whip. You don’t need to
    mix it in completely—the marble effect is cool.
    Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups and spray
    with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute pudding mixture
    among the cups. Sprinkle the tops of the cups with
    remaining soy nuts.
    Freeze until solid, about 1 hour. Store in the freezer
    until ready to serve.
    MAKES 12 SERVINGS
    HG Tip! Eat or serve these within a day or so of
    making them. After that, they’ll need to be slightly
    thawed before eating.

    Hello! If you've not done the board yet, can I update you of my new loss. I am now at 182, woop woop.
  • I am at 137 now (sorry for the delayed response - was away on holidays).

    PS If you want this to be a closed group perhaps it would help to change the name of the group from "Week 1 Challenge" to "Closed Group"

    Good work ladies!
  • I'm back!

    Unfortunately, due to much pigging out on our honeymoon, I won't be weighing in again until November 1st. I don't want to get discouraged and I need to get my body back to a healthier place. I need to detox for a bit. Too much delicious international food and wine fest at Epcot :-P

    I'll keep in touch til weigh in!

    Good luck on Monday, ladies!

    Is it too late for me to join?! I need some support here in my last 8lbs! It's been hard to lose them and I've been slacking off big time!
    I would love to join if I can!


    Name or nickname: Heather
    Current Weight: 134
    Goal Weight (It doesn't have to be for the holidays necessarily): 126 is my ultimate goal. I feel like this is realistic for Christmas but I also know how hard it is for me to maintain, let alone LOSE during the holidays!

    Back from a fun filled week at Disney Orlando with the family! With soo much great food there (and the portions are HUGE - enough for 2) I thought I would have put on 10 pounds. But all the walking must have burned a lot of it off since I am only up a tiny bit!


    Today's weight: 226.2

    Wishing everyone a week of success!

    Hello Hotties!
    Last week- 162.5
    This week- 164
    :cry:

    I made the PB cups I wrote about above, and they are fabulous! My boyfriend went back for seconds. I would recommend adding a few tablespoons more water to the pudding, and another tablespoon of peanut butter. Divided by 12, an extra tablespoon isn't going to change the nutritional information too much, and they could stand to be a little more peanut buttery.

    I have completed 30 days of my 10 lb slimdown workout plan, and I've decided to start it again. I think I'm going to go back to 5 lb weights though; I'm having a hard time completing the full circuit with 10 lb-ers,

    What's your favorite workout routine? Anyone found something they really enjoy that works for them?
  • 135.2 now. Going down slowly :)

    You went to Disney, too, Donna? Wonder if we saw each other there?! :-)
  • I'm down to 146.2 this week. Slowly, but surely, it's coming off. I'm hoping that since I got a new elliptical for my b-day, I can speed things up a little bit!!

    Hi all, sorry I'm a day late! This week I weighed in at 173.2, I can't honestly remember what my last Monday's weight was, but I don't think I lost any. I've had family in town the last two weekends and with all the dining out I found it really difficult to stay under my calorie goal, also the time constraints mad it hard to fit exercise in... excuses excuses... I need to get better about making healthy eating and exercise a part of my lifestyle ALL the time, not just when it's my standard routine especially with the holidays coming up.
  • Hi Everyone sorry I missed last weeks weigh in I've been away from mfp for a week and a half now! Had a weigh in this morning and I'm still 159lb which is the same as a few weeks ago. Back on track now though!! Good luck for the rest of the week :-)

    Hi everyone!

    Last week I was 173.4 (I think?) and today I am 172.4, so it is a loss but I am still a little up from where we were when we started the challenge. Fortunately all of my eating challenges (family in town, weekends out of town) are behind me for the foreseeable future so hopefully I can get back into the groove of my healthy eating/workout routines!

    Hope you all had a great last week and weekend :)

    Hi! Last week 222, this week 220.7. A bit confusing, my weight was going up and then down again during last week...
  • Lost 1.6 this week
  • 135.4 today.

    Would anyone else be willing to do the charts with everyone's progress? I've noticed it hasn't been up for like 4 weeks.
