I didn't exactly "cook" this for myself, but I did prepare it for myself. Hunger hit me badly (I skipped lunch and suddenly realized it was after three o'clock in the afternoon). I decided to make something quick, filling, and easy. I took out the blender, threw in half a cup of frozen mango chunks, a banana, and 2…

Sorry. I nearly forgot to post this morning's breakfast. I'm really not a breakfast person, so this challenge proved to be the toughest of all this week!:smile:

Hello everyone! You ladies have been really supportive toward me this week, and I just want to take a moment to say thank you! I want this really badly. If for no other reason than to prove to myself that I can in fact loose weight. In our group, I feel held accountable which in turn gives me motivation to be successful. I…

Sorry. I couldn't afford fish twice this week (although I love fish!) I eat fish quite often, but times are hard right now, so I did what I could with what I had in the cupboard. Salmon Burgers it is!

Today was just AWFUL!!! I don't know how much longer I can hang in there. Life gets in the way of my weight loss. I'm an emotional eater, so when life challenges get in my way, it makes this weight-loss goal so much harder to reach. :sad:

I like this idea for the most part, and am still willing to take part (and win! :wink: ) Let's have some fun!

Deciding against my first choice picture (although I do like that picture), I am adding a current (exposed) picture so that I can have a better comparison later.

This is the first I am hearing about evictions, but as I think back to the show, evictions were all a part of the game. I think there should be evictions based on percentage loss. Tough, indeed, but very motivating! As far as those who are not communicating, have they technically evicted themselves? Their lack of…

Sorry. I thought you would automatically get our weight by weighing in on the main screen. Anyway, yesterday I weighed in at 245.8 lbs. Sunday: Cardio: 45 minutes walking New Exercise: not today Squats: 50 Water: 3 cups

I'm on the Brown Team. I weigh about 250 lbs in this photo, and can't wait to compare it to my "after" picture in a couple months. Let's do this, Brown Team!!!

I stewed a few thin sliced steaks with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and green bell peppers. Below I attached a before and after photo of this dish:

Hello Brown Team! I've got my fingers crossed that we each accomplish our goals. I'm excited, and quite honestly...SCARED TO DEATH!!!! I know that I want this, but my confidence isn't quite there yet. Good luck to you all. Let's do this! -Kora

I definitely see a change! You body shape has begun to change. Your stomach has reduced in size and your breast and waist are more defined. Looks to me like you're doing a great job! Keep it up, and good luck.
