    let's do it! I'm wayyyy messed up from this week. today i got 2 points (would have 3 if I"d eaten more... but still have 808 cals left) still getting better... tomorrow, new day. ugh and meatless monday?! really :)

    did shrimp have a face??????

    on the plus side b/w being sick and cutting out sugar I did manage to lose 6 lbs this week :) wahoo!

    Hope, you make me smile!
    "Do shrimp have faces?" I vote NO....lol
    Congrats on your weight loss!! Just do it a healthier way from not on, ok? No more illnesses!

    Meatless Mondays actually have been good days for me. I originally thought they'd be harder but it makes me plan ahead and it easier to stay in calorie range. I also like how I feel if I graze all day.

    Hey everyone...
    Here is a really cool site: http://pcrm.org/kickstarthome/

    Although I don't plan to go vegan, this site has great recipes and menu planners. Its really helped me out on out Meatless Mondays.
    Every so often they do a 21 day challenge. Would be a good thing to try some day. I have only gone 4 full days of vegan in a row so far. Then I crave meat!! Not sure if its physiological or psychological.

    I went vegan, sugar/sweetner free, and only drank water for 40 days in Feb/March... it was the BEST I'd ever felt ... EVER!!!!!

    thanks for the website... always looking for a challenge. I could do 21 days :)

    Wow Hope, you did? How cool!
    Hmmmmm... maybe we could get together a team for a 21 day Vegan challenge. We could follow when that other site does theirs.
    I know I'd feel better...but it sounds soooo difficult. Vegetarian is difficult enough!
    The social aspect is what kills be now. Not sure what I'd do out with friends. But baby steps... it would be good to try.

    I hope this isn't considered cheating, but Monday's challenge wasn't posted until after I went to work and had already packed my lunches. I had two servings of fish and nailed everything else for the day, so I gave myself a three. Can we assume that Mondays will always be meatless at this point?

    Yep...Lets assume Meatless Monday as we finish out this challenge.
    The days could stay the same actually...my only suggestion is for water day.... No additional ounces, but try to not drink other beverages at all. Really 8-10 full glasses is a good regular amount. More in hot weather and with exercise.
    Having water only is going to be very difficult for us coffee and tea drinkers . But it might be a big wake up call as to how dependent we are on caffeine.
    Who's with me???

  • Sorry everyone, but I have to go MIA for a few days off of MFP. Grad school applications, GRE studying, and just overall stress will leave me with little time to log cals on MFP. I'll be looking at the challenges for the rest of the month and try my best to do each day's challenge and stick to my weekly/monthly.

    It's just too much for me to handle at the moment to log everything that goes in my mouth.

    I'm literally taking every minute of my day towards these applications.

    Starting October 1, i'll be back, and I hope that we can continue doing this for all those that want to keep the challenge going. We can just repeat what we've done in Sept.

    I'll check in every now and then on the Google docs spreadsheet and give myself the points I know I deserve, although I can't take credit for the dailies since I don't know my cals, I'll try to do the daily challenges anyways.

    Talk soon everyone!

    Yes indeed Beth and I will be co facilitators!!! If you are interested in finding out more about the book check it out at: http://madetocrave.org/

    I will be away for a solid week in October, I felt I needed a rest for challenges yet know that December is a month that comes up quick with it's own set of challenges so I thought November would be perfect.

    Pass it around and send along friend requests for anyone who is interested with "Made to Crave" some where in the request...
