Me!

I have made a TON of recipes from www.peasandthankyou.com I LOVE them, and I really am not vegetarian. I did do the vegan thing for about a month and I really liked it. In addition to the site, the blogger has a book that is amazing!

Oh Gosh. Sorry that I have been slacking and not posting at all :( I have been SO busy with work and planning that I completely forgot! My last weight on Sunday was 205. I am getting my dressed fitted on Thursday, so, I am going to try to lose at least 5 lbs by then! I will try to remember to keep checking back, since I…

Thanks! I have been doing the 17 day diet. I am on day 10 of the first cycle! I actually weighed today and was at 204! (I've been weighing everyday but not recording until Sunday/Monday). I have been sporadically cheating though :( Not terribly though. Although, it is so hard to get back on track when you slip up. I find…

206 today! 4 lbs down this week!!! cant wait till i hit the "under 200" mark!! :drinker:

www.peasandthankyou.com. i love this blog, and this blogger just published an amazing book. you can order it from her site or amazon. there is a wonderful black bean burger in there as well as many other fantastic dishes (lasagna,cookies, jambalaya..) well worth it!

I would like to weigh in on Mondays if that is ok with everyone. I think Monday makes you more accountable for what you eat on the weekend. I did weigh in however today though, because I started the 17 day diet today! My current weight is 210

I just signed up!

Well I got the book, and it does say that if you lose all of the weight you wanted on the first cycle, you can skip to the maintenance cycle. THanks :)

Thank you!

Those are all good reasons! I agree with being able to relax and enjoy yourself! I feel like even now, I am constantly tugging at my clothes or looking in the mirror. As far as "sneaking" things in. Let me tell you, I have become a PRO! lol. My fiance gets his son every other weekend, and when he is at his mom's, he eats…

My fiance hates eggplant too! But he actually liked this! The dress that I am wearing is a halter style with beading and a long train. There are sooo many to choose from, but, you will know once you find the right one!

I made this last night..it was so good! Even if you don't like eggplant! 2 small/med eggplants (unpeeled) 1 "flax egg" (1 TBSP ground flax seed dissolved in 3 TBSP water) Panko crumbs Spices of your choice Cut the eggplant into short french fry like strips. Coat in flax egg, dip in panko, seasoned with spices. Place on…

Cooking challenge for the week! Eggplant! :wink: post your favorite eggplant recipe, pictures if you would like. Good luck!

Bahahah. I needed that laugh. That is hilarious :laugh:

I have a recipe for blackberry basil smoothie! I am going to be trying it this week, I will post it after I try it, if it's good :laugh: And def. get almond butter. I love love love it!!! In case you've never had it, you can eat it on anything! Apples, wasa crackers, toast, waffles, brownies (low fat of course :grumble:…

I have a lot more recipes if you are looking for anything specific :drinker:

I think that a food challenge sounds fun, although, I am not completely sure what that is. lol. Maybe a cooking challenge or something as well? Like, everyone cooks with a certain item and comes back with their healthy recipes? As well as check in and support.

I hear ya! I am getting married November 11. I would like to be at my goal weight but. that isn't going to happen overnight lol.

I had applesauce but it was moldy! haha. I do have regular prunes. But, I bought a new jar of applesauce! :)

Thanks so much everyone! Obviously, I have some "tweaking" to do. But, one of my favorite websites thus far is: www.peasandthankyou.com She has meal plans basically planned out, and I decided to start by following those, but, they are over my calories, so I will try it for a week maybe and if I gain weight, I will cut…

My other favorite site is www.peasandthankyou.com Love it!

I use a HRM. Sometimes, I burn over 700 cals an hour, sometimes, like tonight, I only burned 335 in about 35 minutes. I didn't work too hard tonight.. lol

I just can't seem to do this.. I'm ready to give up! Gained 2 lbs this week. SW: 226 CW: 218 GW: 165

Ugh. I am doing bad. I just can't seem to lose. I keep going up and down. I am 216 this week. SW: 226 CW: 216 GW: 165

2 lbs down this week. SW: 226 CW: 217 GW: 165 Still a long way to go :huh:

My 8 year old step son is SOOO picky. Not really picky, just spoiled. When he is at home (not our home), he eats processed junk, and rarely has a "family dinner". His typical meals consist of: Mac and cheese (the cheap boxed kind), chicken nuggets (the frozen tyson kind), french fries, fast food, pizza, candy, hot dogs,…

Wow, it's been a rough week. Gained 3 lbs. Oh well, better luck next week! SW: 226 CW: 219 GW: 165

I have a public diary!
