I believe that there are certain Larabars that are accepted on Whole30. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it says it on the Whole30 website. Anyway, you'll have to watch out for the ones that have peanut butter and chocolate. But the lemon ones are allowed and those are delicious. Also, premaking snacks for…

Beginning to run! I'm starting low with 25, and maybe February I'll be able to make it higher :)

I have done the Whole30 Challenge a few times, and really enjoy it every time I do. It really makes me feel great. Maybe I'll join this challenge :) I found some really great recipes here: http://onceamonthmeals.com/menus/paleo/ I did use a lot of paleo recipes, but be mindful when you do--not all the ingredients are…

If you're interested in a substitute, I recently made sushi using "riced" cauliflower instead of actual rice. I cut a head of cauliflower into medium florets, then put it in the blender and pulse several times until it looks like rice. Then I just sautee it a little in oil (olive, coconut, sesame, whichever) and add a bit…

My favorite is sunbutter! It's made from sun flower seeds. I started eating it when I took the Whole30 challenge. I loved it so much that now that I am done with the challenge, I don't eat peanut butter any more. Only ever sunbutter :) SO tasty.

Hello team! After thinking about it for a while I've decided that it is best that I withdraw from the competition. I really don't want to, but I am not able to keep up with my weight loss journey right now. I don't have enough time to exercise yet, and I am so packed with work and other family things that I all I am able…

CW 146.8 (no change) I carried a heavy sleeping baby around for about an hour... does this count?

Ack! So sorry I'm late. I weighed in this morning at 146.8 :)

I wrote in the main thread because I saw everyone else was.... but I got my exercise in on Thanksgiving! 30 minutes of walking and running intervals on the treadmill. Then an additional 45 pushups (however long that took). It felt so great!

I went to the gym on Thanksgiving morning and did about 30 minutes on the treadmill, half running, half walking. I also did 45 pushups (however long that took). Woohoo!

Happy Thanksgiving! I just now read the challenge, and it makes me happy to know that I had decided to do a workout on Thanksgiving before I saw it! :)

149. i think i gained. it was my TOM. Doing the challenge tomorrow morning. BUSY week. I have hardly had a chance to sit! Oy!

Thanks! :tongue:

Surely people aren't attacking their own team mates because they didn't choose their own menu....are they? I mean the whole purpose of this Biggest Loser competition is for us to find motivation and encouragement in our exercising and healthy eating. This challenge was wonderful in the sense that it has given me so many…

I stayed the same. No change on scale. 147.8

Wow!! These all look fantastic!!! I can't wait to try all these new recipes. I put my vote in for #3 :)

Rachel Rae's Butternut Squash Macaroni and Cheese SUPER yummy. My sister-in-law made it for us and I was PRETTY skeptical about it.... but I tried it and it was sooo delicious. 1 lb macaroni with lines (e.g. tubatini, mini penne, etc.) T tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) 2 tbsp butter ½ medium onion, grated 2 tbsp thyme 3…

Ack. I'm sorry to say that I couldn't get any more exercise in this week. I started a project for work on Sunday that I thought would only be 12 hrs each day but ended up being closer to 15 hrs and I couldn't get any time in. I'll have to get an "attempted" instead of complete. I did about half the work out time. :(

Okay then, I weighed in this morning at 147.8 and I will finish the challenge by tomorrow evening!

Do we need to complete the challenge by tonight? Or do we have tomorrow too?

Yay!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

Woo! Okay, so I have decided that I need to really step up the exercising and MAKE time for it despite my very busy schedule. Therefore, I am including all sugary things and alcohol in my "vices" list. It is all-inclusive! So far I have racked up 288 calories from sweets. I read in the main thread that we don't have to…

Just north of Houston!

Current weight: 148.4 lb I know that I gained since last week... But don't worry team! I actually gained more than that this week, and this is me "losing" lol. I finally was able to get back into eating healthy and exercising this weekend (as my diary indicates). So don't worry, I'll be down again for next week! I…

My ankles are very weak and hurt too when I run. I have found that when I am on the treadmill, putting the incline at 2.0 helps tremendously. While running, it doesn't feel like I'm running up a hill, but it seems to give my ankles a break.
