    Way to go Steph! Congrats to everyone who lost or feels good about their week!

    Can you put my starting weight at 156lbs? That's what I weighed 2 weeks ago. I don't know LW weight and only joined May 1. I had been away for a family illness/funeral and was sure I had creeped back up to 161 and was shocked today when I still weighted 156 for all the crap I have eaten.

    ok, so i just got this idea. for those of you that don't have much to lose or are just maintaining, toning up, it won't matter much to you regardless. (i'm jealous by the way) but if you are overweight and trying to lose on a weekly basis, this will be for you. ofcourse you can choose to participate if you want. but starting today, the person that loses the highest percentage of weight this week gets to choose a challenge for the week. it could be anything from working out everyday to drinking a certain amount of water everyday..etc..etc..etc. ofcourse not all challenges will be feasible for everyone, since we're all doing different things, but just try to keep the challenges as adjustable as possible. I keep up with the percentages, so i will let yall know by 5pm my time who gets this honor this week. i'm doing percentages so it will be fair for the ones that dont' have quite as much to lose as others. I also think weekly challenges will be fun and a way to keep us motivated. if you don't weigh in on tuesdays or first thing then you just won't get to be in it. sorry, but we need to know the challenge today so that we can all start it. maybe this will motivate folks to get in here and weigh in also. i'm thinking lots of people have quit :(

    I haven't quit Kim, Promise!! :smile:

    But I'm gonne need to show my weigh-in results on Sunday this week, Buuuuuuut I'll carry that result forward to NEXT Tuesday and then get in line with you guys, okies?

    Liking the results I'm seeing from you guys! Will be interesting to see how they change as the weeks progress!

    All I can say is that I've been eating higher protien,good fats and lower carb and clean as poss for about a week now (official MFP joining day was Sunday) . I'm really liking that I'm not hungry at all (unless I'm due for a meal) aaand I've definitely lost a lot of bloating (my double chin has gone already!) and I don't feel I'm carrying a lot of extra water weight either, like i usually do (probably cos I'm drinking a lot more water, but I'm sure carbs just don't agree with me! at the moment if i eat any tiny amount of sugar i can feel it making my heart speed up and just makes me feel really yukky the next day!) sooo, heres to our successes fellow 'No Grain-ers' Yay :D

    LOL, maybe yall should just let me do the math!!! Nicole, yours would be a 2.2 loss this week
    and Rachel, I'm confused!! if last week was 158, and this week is 150, how is there no loss?? help?

    so we're clear LW means last week's weight, CW, means current week, and if you would like SW, would be your starting weight to your weight loss from the beginning

    Sorry it took so long to get back! I had to make dinner and hit the gym. Wow, ummm, caught me off guard a little. I would have to say.....Let's all try to get at least 30 mins of daily exercise. There are days I am tired or just feel like being lazy. I gave myself two rest days last week and at the end of the day, regretted it. I feel so much better when I do something, even when it isn't a hardcore workout. So, lets all make sure we get a little something in everyday!!

    Someone PMed me for the banana flax pancake recipe so I am sharing it here also:

    yield about 3-4 medium size pancakes.

    -½ cup mashed banana
    -2tbs almond butter
    -1 ½tbs ground flax seeds
    -1 egg
    - Coconut oil, olive oil or butter for frying



    -Place ingredients in a bowl except for the oil and combine well.
    -Place some oil in a frying pan on low-medium heat, and then place a scoop of pancake mixture into the frying pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes min before flipping over and cooking for a further 2-3 minutes on the other side.

    They are not fluffy pancakes, kinda heavy and flat but so GOOD!

    Even though I'm not weighing in regularly, I plan on doing the challenges you guys pick every week.

    I'm just so happy to find like-minded eaters :)

    today I did 30 min elliptical, 20 min gazelle, and 10 min weighted hula-hooping.

    and maybe later I'll go for a walk :)

    This sounds awesome. I don't eat a lot of bananas, but when I'm really craving pancakes (which does happen), this is definitely a decent option.

    Last night I walked my dog for 30 minutes. Tonight I'm taking Zumba class. :) Last night I ate pasta and hershey kisses to be completely honest. Oops.. Not a good day of low carb eating. I have good intentions for today though! I'm having a spinich and strawberry salad for lunch with some cottage cheese. My "regular" lunch the last couple weeks has been about 40g carbs and today it'll be like 15! Slowly but surely! For dinner I'm going out for mexican and will have a taco salad with no shell.

    I hate to say it, but I didn't do any form of exercise yesterday :( but i plan to the rest of the week! My baby was sick last night, I didn't get much sleep either, I pretty much had to hold him all night.

    lol, Kimberly, I ate bad yesterday too! we are in crazy need of groceries! and i am going tonight! today i'm determined to eat good, but i haven't ate yet at all, and all i have at work to eat is some hard boiled eggs. was thinking about just fasting today, but then scared when i go grocery shopping i will totally screw up!! and your mexican dinner sounds yummy :( i always get a fajita and just don't use the tortillas :) great, now you got me craving it! maybe that's where me and darron can go for our anniversary friday.

    Does shopping count as exercise? I was walking around the mall for awhile. :wink:

    At lunch I'll be walking a few blocks from my office in order to buy socks because I forgot to stick them in my gym bag. Tonight I'm doing my final short run before my half marathon on Saturday. I'm looking forward to logging the 1400 calories I'll be burning on Saturday!
  • Hi, guys & gals!

    On the exercise, yesterday I FINALLY made it to the swimming pool after six months off and swam for 30 minutes.

    Tonight I plan to do 30 on elliptical and 15 minutes of strength training (lower body with Jackie Warner DVD).

    :-)
