You're doing awesome! Don't doubt yourself. I believe that as long as we are all more aware of our eating and exercise habits that we've already won. I think its a huge win that you're doing well enough to be taken off of a medication. I'm so happy for you.

Way to go everyone ! I had a small loss this week which I found odd as I usually have a small gain because it's the week before that awful friend visits, lol.... but hey, I will take it ! anyway I have 2 term papers and a marketing exam this weekend, so it's a really good thing I'm not a stress eater, and am more a bored eater, or I'd be in big trouble ! Keep up the great work ! GO BLUE !

Great job! Good luck on your papers and exam. I'm sure you'll do awesome.

Hey starfishwendy: thank you, I think stevia is OK...its much stronger in flavor to me than regular sugar so I don't use very much.. It's a must for me with my coffee it does have aslightly different taste but is bearable to me..

If anyone has baked with it I would be interested in your results...

Ahh I still haven't quite got the hang of the daily challenges- had my worst eating day in 2 months yesterday, involving the consumption of a large amount of bread and cheese, and, more to the point, about 100g of swiss chocolate. Damn those Swiss chocolatiers.

Am back on the wagon today. Gonna try to nail the no-processed-sugar business (hard for me as I love sweet things...which is prob why I am a fat thing), stay under my cals, drink lots of water and do some serious time at the gym.

Margaret, try not to get too depressed about the water-weight; sounds like it was wholly out of your control. You've been doing amazingly well with exercise (your daily burns are impressive!) and it's all about long-term lifestyle change, so weekly fluctuations don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry team. Added more cardio and strength training this week with an aim to really make a great contribution for blue team. Went from less than 1300 cals a day to consuming 1300 to 1500 instead so my body could cope with the extra. Thousands of calories under my total burn rate consumed and I put on weight. Hope for a woosh next week!

So strange how the body works. I often find I follow up weeks like that with a big loss, so hope that happens for you too!

I have baked with Stevia and I thought it was fine. I used a Stevia blend and a recipe formulated for it. However, the blend has sugar alcohol and my DH says it gave him gastrointestinal distress! I had no ill effects.

That's good to know....did you use the powder or liquid form?
