    It works really well making it in a blender, too. I have a mini-prep processor (and a HUGE one) but I use the mini one for my hummus. Less clean up.:happy:

    Well DUH*smacks herself in the head* I didn't even think about using a blender. I use to have a mini processor but I sold it in a yard sell because i didn't know what to make in it:laugh: i was a newlywed so my cooking was basicly hotdogs and spaghetti:laugh:

    This sounds like a do-able challenge for me:happy: Ive been measuring everything I eat anyway, so this is easy:blushing: Plus, I eat tons of fruits and veggies (mostly veggies) everyday due to drs orders:wink: , so another easy one for me! And I promise to add ab work into my strength training at least 3 days this week:grumble: Lets do it!:drinker:

    OH, this is a good one for me. I eyeball almost everything. Will be looking for a scale this week..

    Abs 3x a week - very doable - my abs say thank you for a day off inbetween.:laugh: :laugh:

    Fruits and veggies 3X a day no sweat.

    Thanks for the new challenge. We are seriously going to kick butt this week.

    Have a great day all. janiebeth

    Well if the measuring requires a weigh measurement I can't do that, I don't have a scale. And the town that I work in (I live 10 miles out in the country), doesn't have a store that sells such a thing (there's only 1000 people here, not very many stores in town). But for the cup measurements I can do that, I's gots cups.

    But I can log everything before I eat it, except breakfast, cause I log that after I get to work and have faster internet. I do eat the tons of fruits and veggies so that won't be a problem.

    Are we suppose to keep up with the abs too?

    This will be good-- I measure just about everything, but somethings I've grown accustomed to eyeballing, peanut butter being one, unsalted peanuts the other-- time to get back to basics.

    Actually, my personal challenge for this week is to cut out the peanuts. It's too easy to grab a handful when I'm tired and looking for something to keep me awake as I type at night-- I know I'm having too many calories.

    Good news/bad news-- bad news is pre-TOM hormonal stuff prevented weight loss this week-- bloating has been present. Good news, I didn't gain. This time next week, if all goes well, I SHOULD be in good shape.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I don't have a food scale either, Anna ... measuring is fine! I bought a cheapo food scale at WalMart and ended up pitching it in the trash because it wouldn't weigh anything the same twice. :grumble: As long as I'm having success with my measuring cups & spoons, I'm not going to sweat getting a food scale.
