    Talk about needing sleep. I drank so much water last night that it kept me up to 3:30:yawn: AM, after that I just passed out and woke up again at 7AM. Hope all are doing great. We can do this!!!!

    I would love to fully support everyone in their endeavor to lose 40 lbs, but i realize now, after doing the math that i actually do not have 40 lbs still left to lose! I am 5'10 and am currently 179 and 139 would be about 10 lbs less than where i think my absolute bottom should be because i plan on being quite physically fit by summer, not just "thinner"... with the muscle weight and my height, i dont think 139 would look healthy on me, nor would i be able to preform well on my high-peaks hikes or half-marathon training.... so backing out of the challenge, but rooting you all on!! Here is to a HEALTHY 2011!!!!!!!!! :)

    GOOD MORNING ALL!!!
    THIS IS A SHAKE RECIPE FOR ANYONE HATEING VEGGIES LIKE ME.
    SOUNDS GROSS, BUT BELIEVE ME YOU WILL NOT TASTE THE BROCCOLI
    ITS HEALTHY AND IT TASTE YUMMY!!!!!!!

    1 CUP FROZEN BROCCOLI FLORETS
    1/2 CUP FROZEN BLUEBERRIES
    1/2 CUP FROZEN STRAWBERRIES
    1/2 MEDIUM BANANA
    3/4 CUP OF SOYSLENDER - SOYMILK ( VANILLA )

    Calories 221 , Carbs 43, Protein 10, Fiber 11, Sodium 123

    The frozen fruit & broccoli I sit in a bowl filled with water just to thaw out 1 minute while I'm pouring the soymilk in the BLENDER. Then I drain the water out from the fruit bowl. And I add just the fruit & broccoli & banana to the Blender.

    TRY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT :flowerforyou:

    I was thinking, since so many people are having a hard time finding the weigh-in thread, maybe we can post the link in this thread every week so we an all get to the weigh-in thread quickly..
