I know this is kind of a late reply, but where have we all moved to in terms of a month-long challenge? I would love to just be on the sidelines and see where you all are, and just help out with cheering on if you don't mind. Message me back! Btw, I have been struggling with so much lately, which is why I had to be MIA for…

Sorry everyone, but I have to go MIA for a few days off of MFP. Grad school applications, GRE studying, and just overall stress will leave me with little time to log cals on MFP. I'll be looking at the challenges for the rest of the month and try my best to do each day's challenge and stick to my weekly/monthly. It's just…

Ready for WEEK 4 men and women of WOMR!? LET'S DOOO EET! It's getting easier no? I had a few bad days last week, but learned from it.

Just to update everyone... I've been juicing for breakfast every day for the past 2 weeks. My FAVORITE so far is: -Carrots (1 cup baby peeled) -Beets (1 small "chioggia beet" (white with red cocentric rings inside), 1 small red beet) -Green Chard (about 3-4 leaves with stems) -Celery (2-3 stalks) -1 small apple (i prefer…

we could and just repeat what we did this month.

I did better today. MUCH better! Ughh...now i gotta balance the meals out better, drink more water, and have more protein at every meal.

GO WOMR!! Thanks for the words of encouragement. Today won't be so bad for me...I cut up a bunch of vegetables and they are now roasting at in the oven with olive oil, garlic powder and some natural pink salt. Lunch was avocado salad. I LOVE EATING ALL NATURAL! So good for you! Hopebuck: Why does sugar mess up your body?…

Me too! -Only 8 glasses of H2O (barely!) -Ate Kashi Go Lean Cereal (WHEAT / GLUTEN, plus it has CHICORY ROOT <----gives you tons of GAS! Don't buy this cereal!!!!) -Went over cals by over 300 (but still less than my maintainence calorie requirement) I'm just starting to give up :( I need more motivation despite this skin…

16.25 glasses of water today...whoa...not sure if i can, but i will TRY!!!!!

The no eating before bed thing works if you brush your teeth after your last meal. I've heard this over and over from other people (I'm a recovering binge eater)...and honestly, it works. I just brush thoroughly, and floss well, and the clean feeling makes me lose any appetite. I know it's common sense, but it truly works…

I put myself back on the 1200 calorie plan...I can do this...just gotta focus...I can do this. No more excuses!

Upped my cals! PHEW! I feel much better about my diet now, and more relaxed. I won't lose that much weight though...well according to MFP, only 0.5 lbs per week (as opposed to 2 lbs). But i'll try to lose more with 12+ glasses of water and lost of walking, cleaning, and other types of calorie burning (sweat free)…

Maybe you can swap the day with Monday and make today meat free? I think the point is to try each of these daily challenges throughout the week, one challenge per day. If you can do that, that is the same to me and it should not matter which day you did it. However it helps to keep us all doing the same challenges to…

I did EVERYTHING (all challenges) today except staying under my cals :( I might change my calorie goal for the moment while I am taking a break from exercise to let my skin heal. Otherwise, I will always go over my cals (1200 cals). What do you all think?

WEEK 3 SPREADSHEET HAS BEEN UPDATED: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au4IAEZ94WeKdGk0QlljSC1aQjlFVWpfd0hBX3VMV3c&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0 I haven't been losing weight as i would like to have...i think it's the overconsumption of healthy oils that I am taking...i want to cut back, but it's been helping so far…

JUST FYI... i only report thursday weigh-ins b/c i'm doing another challenge and only wish to weigh in once a week for reporting purposes.

FLATTER STOMACH! SMALLER THIGHS! And your arms are much smaller compared to day 1! Nice job rubyrenga!!! You're looking GOOD!

FLATTER STOMACH! Nice job rubyrenga!!! You're looking GOOD!

I won't be hitting my weekly challenges (the part where you stay under your cals) cause i'm not exercising and I"m eating healthy fats to combat my skin condition at the moment. This may take all of september! I'm gonna try to stay under my cals with light exercise (walking, doing some pushups, weights etc), but for the…

I must say....after so many days of eating healthy since Sept 1, the "no processed foods" daily challenge today was not that hard. Good job every one for meeting the monthly and weekly!

I figured out what's plagueing me and my skin... PITYRIASIS ROSEA No known cause, but it may be associated w/ something viral. Looks kinda like eczema patches. :( I'm going to eat extra virgin coconut oil (4 tablespoons a day) and exercise less since the sweat and heat worsens it. It itches like a mother! I put oil on it…

Holy Cow! 15 glasses of water!? I'm gonna try, but i'm so tired for some reason. Woke up early, slept late. what a bad combo.

HAHAHA! Choirgirl! You are preaching to the choir! hahaha...i can be a "glutton for gluten" if it weren't for this challenge! lol

I UPDATED THE SPREADSHEET to match the clarifications above... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au4IAEZ94WeKdGk0QlljSC1aQjlFVWpfd0hBX3VMV3c&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0 Maylan is on the team, as she is putting her info on the spreadsheet. The weeks start on Mondays, end on Sundays, so look at how this changed the last…

LOLING! hahahah For those who find it hard to avoid the meat...VEGETABLE STEWS and veggie or bean chilli's are good replacements! Plus you get the protein you need from the beans! I'm gonna try that next time :)

whatever is relative to your norm...i eat fish regularly...i will not today. if you eat steak, chicken, hamburger, turkey regularly, maybe it is good that you "changed" to fish only. don't let a good expensive piece of salmon go to waste! even for this! of course you could always freeze or eat the next day, as for whether…

TankGirl--Eggs, tofu, vegan meats, and nuts are all good protein sources. Cheese too. If you want to make it easier, just try no red meats. I mean people are going based on what they can achieve, and it's all about taking concsiousness to our eating habits. We're taking things to another level. So if you're used to…

BTW... This Thursday (9/8/11) will be no processed foods day, 100% natural foods only.... I just wanted to clarify to those out there also struggling with "processed foods" .... because there are many definitions of what constitutes "processed". If you google or wiki the words "processed foods" there are many definitions.…

ughh...i forgot that today was no refined flour / wheat day! I had a wheat flour naan/tortilla....also a roti (both are indian foods and are made from wheat). BUT they were vegan! i also ate some chocolates tonight ***embarassed*** NO MORE CHOCOLATES!! i start challenge level 3 today! right now! (no refined sugars) I'm…

Tank Girl--Whatever works for you! Spreadsheet or this thread is fine. I think Ralph can read it just fine either way. Choir Girl--The monthly challenge is to follow your food plan aka challenge level aka custom plan. It's whatever you set for yourself. The weekly and daily challenges are specific rules to follow each day…
