THAT my friend is FANTABULOUS!!! :) @ptkat: That is still a wonderful result! I keep thinking about a pound of butter when I lose a pound. That's a lot of butter!!! :) Welcome to our newest friends, please feel free to add me as well!

Ooooo I like that idea! Let me think on it and I'll come up with something! I'm discovering that sustaining high levels of fibre every day is harder than it looks! My body is rebelling a bit but getting used to it. Kegels almost complete! :)

Hello to all you new folks and welcome to the thread! You've joined a fantastic group of people! @lylu73: That's how easy it is to join us! :) @MischelM: Love that saying and I love the example you used of cleaning a kitchen. The other thing people sometimes don't realize is that this marathon will never end. Like…

Sounds delicious! I've been good with my fibre (up until today that is). I have to say... my body is rebelling a bit... I'm getting much too intimately knowledgeable about the wall colour in my bathroom. LOL Kegels are ok. Forgot today so I'm doing them now! @MischelM: Jeepers you keep me in stitches girl!

woot woot! Awesome job! I also did my 25 today and I'm over my goal by 1. :) So far so good! Any ideas for next week?

@melkithall: Gratz on the 10% That's awesome!!! @ all the new peeps... WELCOME!!! We're happy you're here and feel free to add me if you haven't already! @helend78: I know it sucks when that happens... I've been there and my guess is that most of us here have also gone through it. What you need to do is remember that you…

So I reached my fibre goal yesterday and I'm fully anticipating a day spent in the washroom! LOL Also did 25 Kegels on the bus on the way home... :) I know no one noticed but I kept looking around to see if anyone was looking. LMAO

FANTASTIC LOSS! WOOT! Your hard work is certainly paying off! Did groceries today and loaded up on apples, avocados, cottage cheese, double fibre bread, and quinoa! It's gonna be an awesome challenge this week! Oh! I almost forgot! THE FITNESS CHALLENGE!!! WE'RE DOING KEGELS!!! So here's the challenge, do 150 kegels this…

Lots of awesome losses today! Gratz to everyone and for those who may not have lost... don't get discouraged. That's what starts a backslide and I refuse to allow my buddies to backslide! :) (Like there's anything I can do about it... lol) We are all in this together! @ptkat28: You're a better person than I am! When I peek…

Man that recipe sounds delish!!! I have to try that!

@MischelM: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! CELEBRATE BIG TIME AND HAVE FUN!!! @bregalad5: That must be a huge weight off your shoulders! (Pun completely intended lol) Congrats!!! When do you move?

It's awesome to see the love avocados are getting! I'm the only one at home who eats them lol

Finished off my colours with yellow corn! Woot!~

Agreed! My problem is always sticking to the usual... It's getting boring and that's when my will power starts to fail. This has helped me find alternatives and I"m hoping next week's challenge will too!

@MischelM: I was always told that it's always better to be a "smart *kitten*" than a "dumb *kitten*" :) Have an awesome day everyone heading into a fab weekend!

Just found this link.... http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20553010_3,00.html Great info including this tip: "If you only eat (low-fiber) foods right now, don't suddenly switch to eating 40 grams of fiber a day, because that will cause a lot of stress to the digestive system." So don't over compensate! Be safe!

LMAO prof_newman! I never thought of cole-slaw! I could have gotten all my colors in one fell swoop! Having corn tonight in a turkey shepherd's pie. So that's green, red, white, yellow.... Oh! and plum yesterday (Is that red too or is it considered purple???) LOL Hmmm... OK, heading to the store to get purple potatoes for…

Goooooooooood Morning Peeps! @drakeshattuck: Thanks for that info! I'll have to check that out on Netflix (I hope they have it on the Canadian version). @2ledbetter: What amazing weight loss achievements and I love that you've got small goals to lead you up to your final success! You are an awesome inspiration!…

@directen: I enjoyed my time with my personal trainer but going to the gym never became a part of my routine. I've tried so many times and I just can't motivate myself to do it. *sigh* @lae721: Welcome! Congratulations on your loss, that's fantastic! I wish I could live on a low-carb diet but knowing myself, I don't think…

You guys are fantastic! I still have 1 or 2 colors of food to eat (depends if potatoes count as white lol). Biceps are screaming in happy pain! :)

Good morning! @2run2ski: That is great advice! I can't do more than 5 minutes on the elliptical and that's based on 1 attempt. I gave up on the elliptical after that... It's important to understand our limitations but not to just accept them! We can do this and we need to work at it and it will be a lifetime battle! But we…

Hello everyone and welcome to all the new folks! What wonderful achievements and affirmations I am reading here! I hope it keeps you as motivated as it does me. I'm hoping to start walking again soon. My knees have been acting up and it's a pain in the... knee. :) Happy Tuesday to you all and congrats on being you!

LOL You guys crack me up! I had arugula (yes I'm addicted) and spinach, baby tomatoes and potatoes (is white a color?). Today I have a banana in my lunch but again... it's kinda white. Anyways, I'm planning on some beets and oranges and maybe some purple potatoes. :) Ohh! Blueberries! :)

Hi All! Hope everyone has had a wonderful week and that you have all taken the time to tell yourselves that you are beautiful and worth all the effort you're making! I got my hair done today and feel like a new me! It has revitalized me and I can't wait to shed some more negative crap from my life... pounds, people,…

Hi guys! Tonight was my second fruit recipe. We had moroccan chicken with dried fruit, olive, and white white served on couscous. Delish!!! Wall sits I struggled with this week but I did them once at work in the hallway (seems to be a trend lol) and didn't get caught! LOL The others at home. New challenges coming tomorrow!…

@melkithall: Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work! You are rocking your new lifestyle!

OK! Wall sites have been done at work in the hallway... luckily no one walked by LOL and also up against my house. I've got my two other fruit recipes ready to go... we'll probably have them tomorrow night and Sunday night. :) How is everyone else doing?

@want2behappy31: Hippychick is right... you have friends here. I can't imagine battling depression on top of having to lose weight. When you are having a bad night, feel free to reach out to me. I am not a counselor but I still have wide shoulders (although hopefully not for long lol) and I can certainly empathize and try…

You gals are rocking this! Dinner tonight for me is sourdough bread with mascarpone cheese, warm blueberry sauce and brie cheese, topped with arugula! I can't wait! As for my wall sits, I forgot them yesterday... I'll do an extra day of them this week! By the way, if you guys have any ideas for the challenges, let me know!…

LMAO that's awesome!
