oooh... 10 pounds is a little aggressive for me, but I am going to give it a shot!!! CW: 157.6

definitely look into companion planting. you don't want to plant veggies that will be competing with one another for nutrients. dig deep... don't rototill the soil... plants need crazy root space. beets are awesome :)

tee-hee! gotta bump this one for later :laugh:

This IS a great question. I would think if your heart beat is beating less frequently (medication or not) that you are burning few calories. But that is just an uneducated guess. :)

I agree with the comments about spot reduction, but I am intrigued by the wheat comments. I had a similar experience with eliminating soy products. I just thought I would share my experience. I am a vegetarian, and for a long while I relied on eating meat substitutes and soy products. I read somewhere that soy contributes…

good one!

I am an architect, but I tell everyone I am a UPS driver

Seems unlikely that there would be a lot of damage, but the $100.00 tops comment seem premature too. The price that contractor's charge varies significantly by location. You would not get a contractor to mobilize for less that $250 dollars in my area.

Hello Everyone!! I went to the service and reception. I didn't eat any cake, but did have a soda - now I have to burn some calories or I won't be able to eat dinner tonight! The service was unconventional and kinda awesome. I have never been to a service where songs of the Beatles were treated like hymns, and there were…

Last night was tough. I so wanted to eat everything. I was watching the Biggest Loser and they were cooking and eating. I was supposed to be inspired to work hard and lose weight watching the show - instead I just wanted to eat. I think that I had dinner too early and didn't get my bike ride in so I didn't have any…

WOW! Congratulations everyone! Merl is in the 200's!!!! That is fantastic! :drinker: I had a bit of a slow down on the weight loss this week. 151.2 only .4 lost. I am a little relieved. I thought that I wasn't going to lose anything. I peeked at the scale earlier this week and my weight was up, so the .4 is welcome. Oh and…

Hello Everyone! I ended up not going to my friend's last night... not feeling so hot. Didn't get my bike ride in and didn't eat so well. Still in the range of my calories, but nothing green. (Katcena - not as bad as donuts all day, but still not good. Thank you for the wonderful reminder.) I did hit my water goal. :) It is…

Love this challenge!!! Already veg. 24/7 ... I always encourage people to cut back on their meat consumption. One day a week is do-able for everyone and the environmental impact is huge!

sorry, didn't see your post about right of refusal.

Absolutely check your contract. If there is language in there about the quality of construction, you don't have to worry about how you phrase the letter. Just be matter of fact about it. You should get what you are paying for. End of story. If this person you know is offended, they are not professional. You are the one who…

good morning everyone! I was significantly under on my calories yesterday. I thought that it would even out with my plans for this evening. Every Wednesday I go to a friend's for dinner. It is really hard to guess what the calories are on those foods and sometimes a have a couple of drinks. I just assume that I go over on…

Merlanda: That smoothie sounds so good! Judy: I am going to have to try that recipe with the cauliflower. My hope is that I will have some homegrown cauliflower soon enough. This is the first time I have tried growing it. I hear that it is temperamental, so my fingers are crossed. Snowflakes: Next time keep your cyber…

Good Morning Ladies! Everyone is doing a great job. Those of you who haven't been meeting your goals still seem to have a great attitude that will pull you through the small set back. Keep up the good work! corinne: I love that you posted a recipe. Sorry, I don't know how to post photos. If anyone has any great non-soy…

Fell a little short on my water yesterday, but I have already started this morning so it should be easier today and I won't get stuck with the choice of not getting all my water or waking up in the middle of the night. :/ Got a bike ride in too. Not sure what today holds in store for me, I woke up with a sore throat.…

oooh.... water is a tough one for me. :)

check out that waist!!! great job! congratulations.

Happy Sunday and Daylight Savings Time Everyone! Today is going to be awesome!!! I can feel it!!! Who's with me?

I am sure that it is perfectly fine at Denny's with your family, but if you go into a fine dining establishment or have a meal with colleagues I wouldn't advise it.

some of those are excellent points... others seem a little nit picky... like unbuttoning shirts. seriously? do you scrape your plates at restaurants and stack your dishes for the busboys at the restaurants you eat at? I am sure that if you did, they would not hate you too.

Hellllooooo! If there is still room, please count me in! My name is Elizabeth. I live in the Napa County. I started here 15 pounds ago. I made it down 18 and got distracted... fell off the wagon and gained 8 of them back. I stopped myself before I did undid ALL my hard work and restarted again. I seem to do reasonably well…
