Good job, all! I love to see that group weight lost number!

262.2, finally a move on the scale!

My goal sounds high now! I'm aiming for 180ish but I'm not even sure of that. My LBM is 161 and if I keep all that, 180 might be lower than I need. My real goal is 20% body fat!

264.2 today

I recently had my lean body mass measured and it was 161 pounds, I'm 5'7". It was kind of awesome to know exactly how many pounds of fat I'm carrying on my body... and to know that my goal weight probably shouldn't be 160 pounds. I just won't ever be a size 2 and that's fine! Maybe LBM decreases with weight loss (I haven't…

264.4, not much

265 today!

I like beets so I just roast fresh ones and eat them as-is. Try salt roasting. You just take a pan, fill the bottom with salt and nestle the beets in it. Keep the skins on and don't even really worry about cleaning them off too much. The salt draws out their excess moisture so they're not slimy but also not salty! When you…

Hahahaha, yes the drink is basically the waste from a big old fungus. Kind of. My parents are big hippies and when I was young it was a thing in their group of friends to grow kombucha. It is a big saucer-shaped fungus/bacteria culture that would grow in a solution of Lipton tea and white sugar. The hippies would talk…

I'm in... 10 pounds would be awesome!

I had that problem too... and I'm relieved that I'm not the only one! I loosened my shoes a bunch and try to keep my weight on my heels some. Surprisingly, when I tried Zumba for the first time last week I had the same problem. If anyone knows what that's about, let me know!

265 this morning

I was raised vegetarian (with eggs and dairy) and I'm actually trying to broaden my protein options. I still would never really eat red or processed meat but I'm trying to incorporate a little chicken and fish. I have a lot of vegetarian experience, though!

Is it kind of leathery or is it soft? Maybe kale? or just a different kind of lettuce (there's a huge variety that we don't normally see in the grocery store). Post a photo!

I used Curves a couple years ago and had great results. I worked really hard during the circuits, though, and the mostly older other ladies kept telling me to slow down. It made me feel self-conscious about being the only red-faced, sweaty woman hopping around, but it's great to be sure that you got a workout for your…

Take shots!

266 this morning

Tuna salad. Even though I'm not a big fish fan, there's only like 100 calories in an entire can. If you add a little mustard or whatever you like ( I use canned jalapenos) and use it as a dip for lo-cal crackers it can be a perfect high-protein, low calorie lunch a couple times a week.

I'm really liking the Nuvaring. I tried so many pills that I can't even remember and the copper IUD freaked me out. )A friend had to have hers removed due to incredibly painful periods with it in.) The only side effect that I get from the ring is that I only have a period every other month. I've been assured that that's…

Sushi! I hear it's the best there.

Look at you! These kind of progression pics just make me happy. Thank you for posting them!

Today's weight: 265.8 I'm like the heaviest chick in this group... that's motivation! :)

I'm 5'7", weigh 268 and wear a size 18 in jeans. I'm top-heavy or something! Even when I was 180 I still wore a 14.

I want in! CW 268.6 Need any other info?

I want to join too! 271 today 261 in a month would be awesome!

For chickens we have a Barred Rock, a Golden Sex link, and a Indian Runner duck an Anacona duck. Duck eggs are actually pretty awesome, like super-eggs. In my hippy town, everyone seems to be an urban farmer. There are something like 25 backyard chicken keepers in my small neighborhood. Not to mention veggie gardeners and…

Nice, I'm starting to get the gardening bug this spring too. I have a garden every year although last summer in Oregon was so late and soggy that it was a frustratingly short growing season. We added ducks and chickens to the mix last year so in late summer it's almost a full meal coming out of our yard!

I'd like to join this challenge, too! I haven't posted anything before and it looks like I'm a day late. Do we just post the Monday weigh-ins on this message board? My current weight: 275
