Hello my challenge-mates! I'm doing well today! Although I burned less and ate more this past week, I lost weight! (Yea, finally figured out I was in starvation mode. Oh well!)

I love this. So true. and what a GREAT suggestion! It's my plan for next summer, my own garden!

Agreed. I've been a vegetarian for about four years and am currently making the switch to vegan. For me, it's been REALLY easy. If you love cheese, find substitutes. If you love your scrambled eggs in the morning, tofu scramble does the job (it's all about the seasoning). I eat processed foods very minimally. It's all…

Loved it! And l love Netflix for all the inspirational shows/ documentaries streaming free :o). I usually work out to them!

pahahahahaha:laugh: :tongue:

You are painfully accurate because you want to be accountable to your mfp friends :oP

I've been doing lots of squats!! Maybe there is a difference that I haven't noticed yet? I'll kick up the weight soon, I suppose. I don't want to look beefy!

pahaha. Ditto. Loving my freckles all the way. ... and the chlorine skin I suppose. :laugh:

The women in MY family have NO butt... when we gain weight it's all belly, thighs, and hips... and boobs I guess, we have big boobs. NO BUTTS. I've been trying exercises... but to no avail. Pancake-butt. Oh Well. I would appreciate a bubble-butt :laugh:

but you need carbs :o). Lots of whole grain carbs (quinoa, brown rice, sprouted-grains, whole wheat, oats, etc)! They keep you regular, well-nourished and feeling fuller longer.

I'm a vegetarian (for about four years) currently transitioning to vegan... so I'm all about recipe experimentation right now! Feel free to add me!

Ok sorry I was camping on Friday! Uhm... Cw: 179 (8/19) Lbs lost since last week: 1.6 Calories burned: 2404 Nutrition goals met: ish Miles traveled: 21 I did a lot of biking/walking :o) Waist: Bust: Hips: Workout plan: Sunday- went walking Monday- too sunburnt to move Tuesday- 8 mile bikeride approx Wednesday- Gazelle…

lmao: veggies are great for everyone *including* diabetics.

In the end, they tell you not even to take their word for it and do your won research on top of it... If you only read half, it does seem skewed. It doesn't ban the organic farming industry and that sort of produce.

I'm Tina, I'm 22 years old and have struggled with my weight for ...years. My self-body-image has never been healthy. I either think I'm bigger than I am, or smaller. I'm 5'5" and currently 180. My highest weight was this past January at 209. Since then, I've decided that I wanted/needed to get back into shape. In March I…

I too found it fun. Then again, I'm not offended by the language and have already made most of the basic steps towards health that they discuss (other than the no-cheese).

I literally JUST read it, cover to cover. (I'm a very fast reader and it's written so simplistically). I knew a lot of the facts inside (not that I'm claiming to know it all by any means), but upon completion, I'm still unsure of how I'm processing it. I've read/seen some conflicting facts (see: Fat Head) and am now just…

hahaha, omg. I'm super freckly, this made me LoL

Veggie here! You can add me if you want, I'm a great "friend" haha.

When will the challenge start?

I'm on my LAST semester of College... so... Until December, count me as a college buddy, haha. After that: it's soon-to-be med-student!

Oh I am so in. I've been looking for a challenge to join for about a month now! :o)

That is your opinion. I respect your opinion. I also, however, believe that you could have said that with more finesse so as to not insult everyone who does make that life choice. Personally, I don't like meat: the taste, the texture, and the fact that it is dead animal carcass. Maybe you could educate yourself on the…

Thank you all very much! I love donating blood: people need it!

I make it a point to usually never eat back my exercise calories. To me it just seemed like breaking even, then. Once and a while I will exercise my butt off so as to enjoy a heavier eating day, but that is rare.
