Hey guys,

Im posting this while waiting for my flight -_- Just found out that im sent to do an interview last night and got a backpack tossed at me. I loveeeee me job. ><

My weekly weigh-in:

Pounds: 122.5
House Points: 225
Exercise Owls: 5
Food Owls: 3
Spirit Owls: 3

Have a good week guys

Am weighing in at 104 Ibs have had a really crap last week and it's turning out to be the same this week so am not sure how many OWLS and house points I got last week.

Scarlettdawn764, Congratulations on your engagement.

Thanks everyone on the engagement congrats. :flowerforyou: It's nice to be with someone who doesn't stress me out so much that I eat just to have something to do. First time in my life. And he's so supportive of my weightloss journey. It makes it so much easier :bigsmile:

I'm trying to get back on track with everything today. However one day of success doesn't get me back on track so hopefully I can stick with it!

hey ravenclaws! i hope everyone's having a great day and sticking to their goals!
i just readjusted my carbs/protein/fats percentages to try something new, so i gotta go get some protein supplements to meet my new protein goal!

Well, my goal for November has been 141. I'm not sure if I'm going to make that right now though.

My best friend, who lives three hours away and I had not seen in two months, came to visit last weekend, and naturally this involved lots of eating out and late night girl talks involving chocolate and dr. pepper...

My scale is now telling me I've gained three pounds over the last three days, and even though I KNOW i was eating more than I should... I was not eating that much. I'm hoping some of this is water retention from the extra sodium/fat/sodas/dehydration... Anyway, logging my current weight will send me running to the freezer and into the comforting embrace of Ben & Jerry.. so I'm going to delay logging until mid week or next weekend and hopefully be back to where I was Friday morning.

So, after that long explanation, if it is OK, I would like to stay with last week's weigh in, 144, for this week.

Eggplant is a wonderful substitute in Italian cooking! I LOVE it! And no, it is not hard to cook at all! My favorite is eggplant parmasean, which is very simple and very very healthy (if you don't fry it and bake it instead)

Morning Ravenclaws!

I'm going shopping today and was wondering if people had preferences for meat substitutes. I've added fish to the week, but last week we struck ojt with salmon- man that's a lot of calories. I thought I'd try others, but am not quite sure what would be good. Also thought about using eggplant instead of meat for a meal... is that hard to cook? Is it any good?

Thanks for the input!

Also have been dying for curry. I wonder how many calories that is...

we've been enjoying tilapia lately. lower in calories and fat than salmon (though i really love salmon also). easy and fast to prepare.

Checking in tonight at 279.6 and 90 house points. Crazy week and still busy! But that's life : )

good morning Ravenclaw and happy tuesday!! i'm trying to change up my workouts as i hadn't been burning as many calories with my routine so i tried an old dvd i found in the closet. it was the turbojam kickboxing workout. burned just ok as i had trouble keeping up and figuring out what they were doing. i suppose i should give it another try to see if i do better once i learn the moves. may just go back to the biggest loser dvd. looks like bike riding is out for the time being. chiropractor said to see if staying off of it would relieve my back pain, and (sorry to say) it has :grumble: . gonna have to find other thing that are fun i guess.
hope everyone has a great day!!

good morning ravenclaws! wish me luck today, I'm going out to interview for internships at accounting firms! I'm so nervous! if i get one it'll really help out because most of them are paid and i get to stay in school and it counts as credit! eeeeee

Hello Ravenclaws

I'm hoping you will accept me in your Ravenclaw group. I just joined MFP yesterday so this a perfect way for me to stay motivated. Look I already earned 1 House Spirit OWL, 1 Food OWL and 1 Exercise OWL ...Woo Hoo!

Starting Weight: 235 lbs = no weight lost - I will weight in next Monday morning before breakfast and post my results here!

oh man guys i didnt weigh this week i feel to much like a fatty that binged on egg nog and ice cream. Put me in Detention and i will do better this week.

Afternoon Ravenclaws!

I found out something important about myself by doing this exercise challenge. One would think it's easy not to eat after 9pm, and still meet your calories. I, however, have found this difficult. I work all day, and have class until 10pm 3 days a week. I've only been successful once. Dinner at 5 is too early, and I often find myself below 1500 calories by 10.

I do think I have a plan. I pack my lunch everyday which works out great. I think I also need to pack a night meal to help, eet my target. I could eat it around 8pm and then I wouldn't have to worry. I'll try on Wednesday night and see how it goes.
