    Hi ladies, sorry to keep you waiting :embarassed: ...Well I was thinking of a crunch challenge, however, I think another might help too.
    Idk if any of you have heard that eating slowly helps to lose weight, b/c you let your stomach tell your brain that you are full. Anyway, my challenge is to count your bites of food (this helps me slow down). My normal goal is 25 - 30 "chews" per mouthful.

    This really helps me, hope you all enjoy!

    So for each bite you take, you chew it 30 times before you swallow it? Now this is a challenge.:laugh:

    Okay, I am going to have to remind myself every time I eat about this. :tongue:

    Ooo! Great challenge, Patty. I have heard the same thing. This will really help me when I get home late and am starving. I normally eat way too much but don't realize it because I eat so fast!

    great challenge - sometimes when I eat too fast, my brain hasn't caught up and I think I'm still hungry and go for seconds and when I'm done I feel over full and stuffed. I t hink slowing down ur chewing will let ur brain catch up and let u know that u are full or satisfied when it is the right time.

    Congrats, pa_treusch, on such a great loss!!
    I forgot to weigh-in SAT as well... I usually weigh-in on Wednesday... Does that totally mess things up if I weigh-in on Wednesday or do I need to do it on Saturday?

    I did lose 2lbs this week, even with the Thanksgiving holiday...which I ate way too much at! ... BUT I weighed in today (a day early because tomorrow is going to be so crazy I'm not going to get the chance to weigh and post)... and I was down 2 lbs!
    So, I will wait and see how I do and post this Saturday...hopefully I will remember to jump on here and post it in Bikini Babes :smile:

    Way to go girls, on your losses!!! :drinker:

    If you want to post on Wednesday, feel free to. I will include it in the upcoming week's weigh in. For example, you post tomorrow, and I will use it for this Saturday coming up. If that's alright... To me, it doesn't matter what day you weigh in, just to make sure that it is in by Saturday, that way we can all do our results together:smile:

    Good challenge! It's something that I am going to really have to pay attention. Like others, when I am really hungry I tend to inhale my food, so this will be a good one for me.

    Good luck everyone!

    Ok, so I have discovered how this challenge could help a person lose weight. Last night I went to the movies and had nachos (I know, shouldn't have, but couldn't resist) and this morning had corn flakes for breakfast. With both of these foods, by the time I got to the teens in chewing, there was absolutely no food left! I didn't even have to swallow :laugh: So, it kinda made me feel like I ate a lot less. LOL.

    i've been trying to count in my head, but then i start thinking of something and i forget what i am doing. it is a real nice challenge.

    well I'm not counting cuz I forgot but definately slowed down the chewing and making sure my food is well chewed up before I swallowed. Last night I got ohme famished! and heated up a lean cuisine meal - it was santa fe rice & beans there was nothing to cut (like if it were chicken/steak, etc) and I started inhaling my food. BUT I caught myself and slowed down and realized at the end that I was full. While I was inhaling at the beginning I was already thinking what else I would eat cuz I thought this would not full me.

    So great challenge!

    This is what happened to me too. Although with different foods I find that I can count either more or less chews. <-- hopefully that makes since. :laugh: Great challange, you definitely pay more attention when eating.

    :laugh: funny.... my jaw would probably get tired and I would just stop eating because of utter exhaustion! :happy:
