OMG!!!! SO frustrated these days cuz something always seems to be wrong with me. If it's not my knee, then I'm too dizzy to even sit up, or it's my stomach refuses to keep anything in. Every time I start to work out something happens. Does anybody else have a problem like this?0

Good morning. ..My fantastic group. . . . . Sorry I have not been posting much on here. . . You guys are so awesome. . I will be posting a message to please come here and talk. . . I would like to get to know one another better. . .
We still can post favorite recipes on Mondays. . I would love that. . .
Today I am asking. . . HOW was AUGUST. . . . what things would you like to improve on this month??? I will be posting the challenges everyday. . .There is the pygmy series and the Bushman. . . I really would like to form a team out of the 200 club members that I can submit to Gary. . .
That would really push it to the next level here. . If you want to do that let me know we have to form groups of 10. . . I would have to submit them today. . .
Just a thought we don't have to do that. . everyone can just do the challenges if they want to, but it is a lot of fun. . . I had a great team for August. .
Hope you all have the best of a day. . .I will be checking in later. . .

Hello! hello! The month of August started off great. I was going to the gym five days a week then the third or fourth week (bad memory!)my knees really buckled and I took a rest for two day, then I got sick, not hospital sick, but none the less I was in bed for two days and took almost a whole week to feel normal again. If that makes sense that would be my explanation of how I didn't finish off great. I was bumbed and felt disappointed in myself, Mfp Friends really helped me out by offering encouragement and I got off my but once more and started walking. My total weight loss was five pounds for August, I think it's ok. This month I would like to continue going to the gym and walking with my kids as well as get a hold of my eating habits. That is so difficult but I will persevere! My goal this month is to find low impact exercises and loose eight pounds!0

Butternut and Goat Cheese Lasagna:bigsmile:
Ingredients:
4 medium butternut squash (about eight pounds)
2 sweet onions, slivered
3 inches of ginger, roughly chopped
1/2 cup plus 4 T. canola oil
4 T. thyme, plucked
1 T. cinnamon
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 T. ground coriander
1 T. agave nectar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package phyllo dough, thawed
1 cup olive oil
1 cup soft goat’s cheese (Chevre)
4 T. honey
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
Procedure:
1) Preheat oven to 375°.
2) Slice each squash in half and remove seeds with a spoon. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 cup canola oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and
pepper. Bake for 45 minutes, or until fully cooked and can be mashed with a fork.
3) While the squash are baking, sauté sweet onions in remaining canola oil on medium-high heat, until translucent. Add ginger and cook until ginger
softens. Remove from heat.
4) When onions have cooled, add thyme, cinnamon, cayenne, coriander and agave.
5) Remove squash from oven (leave oven on) and cool. Scoop flesh into a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Stir in onion mixture, and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
6) Gently roll out thawed phyllo. Gently place six sheets of phyllo into a 9”x13” casserole dish. Using a pastry brush, brush phyllo with olive oil. Scoop in butternut mixture and flatten out. Layer goat’s cheese on top, cover with six more sheets of phyllo and brush. Bake in 375° oven for 30 minutes, or until top begins to brown and flake.
7) Remove lasagna from oven and top with pecans; drizzle with honey just before serving.
PS: I will get back to you on the nutritional info as it was not provided. . and I am probably going to use noodles instead of the phyllo dough.0 -

Hello. . my amazing group.. . . everyone here has been doing an amazing job. . . . I just want to say I would love suggestions for fun days we can have here on our thread. . .
We have our recipe day . . . I vote today. . is post a fun picture day.
Hope you are all having a great Saturday. When I receive all the weights tomorrow. . I will be posting the new spreadsheet. . If I haven't gotten your weight. .you will find that the weight just won't change across the board. . Thanks for being so patient with me.:bigsmile:0 -
My first name is Melanie.
I'm sorry I haven't been around. With the summer vacation I was kind of busy. Lately I have been on a Harry Potter fan fiction site and I can't seem to stop reading. I love to read and it is amazing how talented some people are on that site. I feel silly as I'm 45+ years old but I love to read all those cute romance stories that young people make. It reminds me of when I was young. I'm also back at work with more strict hours so my "puter time is a whole lot more limited. I got to do other things like work and cook and pick up/drop my daughter at school and activities. But I still log in everything and keep up with my calorie intake so the important stuff is been done.
I'm very excited as I reached "onederland"! Sometime in the last couple of weeks. My goal is 197 as that will be 15% weight loss but I'm having some issues with my scale. I got to 199 and then it went up to 201 the next day then it came back down to 199 two days later. I thought "okay, I gained some water weight and now is okay" well I got some weird weights after that. went down to 198 then back up again the next day (I know I'm not supposed to weight everyday but I do as I like to see how some things I ate affect my weight loss). Then 197 and then back up to 199. Anyway, I don't know what to think but since the higher weight is 199 now, at least I know I did reach onederland. My official weigh in is on tuesdays so I'll see what it says then. My husband jokes that tuesdays the gravitational pull is less so thats why I weight less on my official day and then it goes up a couple of pounds for the rest of the week. Weird... In any case the difference is about 2 pounds so I'll take it as a range.
I need new clothes, people are finally telling me to go shopping as everything hangs off of me. I just laugh because it makes me feel great even if I look like crap in my really baggie clothes. My job is pretty casual so I can get away with it for now but since fall is coming I might have to do some shopping since my winter clothes really look bad. At least a couple of pants that don't like like "hammer time" pants. I told hubby to check the attic for my old clothes. I'm sure I can find every size needed there.
Anyway, I'll try to post more often as I'm still going thru this journey like all of you and even if I reached onederland I still have a long way to go!
