I am a vegetarian 30 years and have done it wrong. I now no longer eat wheat (or sugar). I make veggie chilli, lentil soups, tofu stir fry, lite cheeses... Tons of recipes out there if u google.

well u pretty much lost me on the challenge, but i'm still here! just back from our xmas trip to the inlaws, where i managed to gain almost 2 lbs (ugh) so i'm going to stay off challenge, but back on diet i'm so sorry!!!! i will be reading what i missed and trying many of the exercises u picked a hard month for the…

hi just read your last post i was away for the weekend and i am just coming up for air to check my email! the next 2 days are INSANE for me make hanukkah latkes for 20, kid concert, ladybirds singing at nursing home, hanukkah party an hour away next day - xmas breakfast with girls, clean, hanukkah party so on wed nite i…

ok, just got to reading back a few pages thanks carla for the congrats on the halfway will attempt the stairs today - but i'm just on day 1.5 of this ****ty cold - so i may hold off on all exercises My update: last week was awful- i hate not seeing the scale move, then i forget at the end of a plateau the pattern has been…

figured out my ticker, i had accidentally added 200lbs to my loss! oy

hi all, i still havent had time to read thread for last few pages and still "catching up" on the days but i'm still in it my good news - i reached half way today! 74.5lbs! so busy days and nites but hope to properly catch up soon! xo i just wanted to see my ticker and its saying i lost 275 - something wrong, anyone have…

well i have caught up a bit with my exercises supermen done - not as hard as i thought they'd be crunches (i do a ton of them anyway - and let me say - the amount i do, you'd think maybe just maybe i'd see 1 rib!) the knee in/out thing - i did them. i hated them. so i guess they're good for me. i'll see them again sometime…

still need to look up the knee ones i will get to the last 3 days of exercises tonite so hard to make time to do things above and beyond the morning cardio! this week has been very depressing for movement on the scale,...

ok, still havent done the supermans - but i will!!!

oh protein, my nemesis . i may or may not have as my morning granola (which is seed and nut heavy) isn't officially logged as nutrition just as calories - so i'm not taking the points very hard for this vegetarian to reach that kind of protein! i did have the bean/tvp heavy veggie chilli for dinner last nite and…

steph take care of yourself! calf raises - i'm still going to do them, i know it's a daily challenge but still catching up from the first 4 days i missed bilateral supermans after school drop off - first time for me! enjoying the challenge!!

oh Pam, i'm sure no one would mind if you took the Dance credit! i just caught up on the first 5 days by today! :)

all i feel like i do is clean and chop romaine lettuce! i am getting salad supplies like every 2 days! i eat a giant salad every single day for lunch (i'm so boring - a vegetarian who is not eating wheat and has to ease up on the eggs and cheese due to cholestoral issues, so lunch for me is basically salad, salad or salad!)

late on the gratitude i'm so very grateful that we are all well and happy and healthy, i know this sounds generic, but we are, and i am grateful :happy: glad you're ok Steph, take it easy!!!

ok people i'm back just did all my shoulder raises and wall push ups, will get the calf raises between now and the end of the evening and dance - not sure if i'll be doing that today sorry what on earth is a full body sigh??

ok i am really lame only seeing this now i'm just a little confused and with this 5 year old i may have skimmed and not read.....what'd i miss? what am i doing? i'm tina :)

Hi all I'm Tina I'm Mom to a 5 year old girl and a 1.5 year old insane Collie I live in Ireland with my amazing and supportive (he didnt notice I gained 90 lbs over 8 years) husband. I've been heavy my whole life. I lost 98lbs (but still had about 50-60 to go) over 8 years ago, I subsequently gained back 90 or so of it…

Goals: 1. lose 5 lbs i'm trying to go back and figure it out, but it's 7 (or more?) 2. truly try to mix up my cardio, not just do the same thing every day um, well, i quit the pool last week so it was just walking and my Gazelle - so half fail 3. make an effort to do more strength training fail - damn,i definitely did more…

i'm doing the flash challenge today - as that's been my MO all month, late but accomplished not sure how much i lost this month, but definitely met at least the 5lb goal i'm at 70.5 gone today which is better than i expected by this point, and i think a lot of it has to do with the challenges thank you steph! i am IN for…

from Ireland??? :) i will take your flash challenge steph, but F squats! i can barely bend down to pick up something i dropped let alone do a single squat - they KILL my knees!!! maybe in another 50 lbs :) as for me time - i had to forfeit my pedicure to go see the chiropodist for something wrong with my damn toe and there…

Well we had our Americans in Ireland thanksgiving today. And I am officially sick from eating too much and not proud of it I did however reach my goal of 70lbs today (70.5!). As today is exactly 7 months since I went off sugar and wheat and started my 6 day a week exercise regime. I will probably gain at least a lb from…

wow steph you're at 117!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just sayin' mazel. :)

i totally forgot about the spreadsheet!!! sorry.... as for the protein, i'm lame.

well not sure if this counts as out of my comfort zone but i ran for 6 minutes this morning (most i think i've ever done was 4) and for each mile i walked i ran for a much larger majority of it - 2 minutes or so at a time....tomorrow i'm going to push myself to run the entire way from my house to the sea (it usually takes…

well i finally read back a few pages - and i missed the spontaneous exercise challenge, i will get to that tomorrow today i did my 5 planks over the course of the day, and guess what? i f-ing hate planks! i didnt try any new foods except this amazing Raw Cacao Coconut Slice - which basically tasted like dark chocolate…

sorry didnt read all just chiming in on the quinoa i recently tried it for breakfast - cook it plain, then add cinnamon and raisins delicious!

contemplating starting a list of things i want to do when i reach my goal - on said list: buy a pair of knee high boots (hell thigh high! just kidding, knee high) wear horizontal stipes cut my hair mid length (i use the length to hide my double chin in most photos) overalls - even to wear around the house because overalls…
