Ohh, I will soooooo help the team gain points for H20!!!  I down AT LEAST 68 oz. a day!!

"Alive"-POD

I have found self-control again--no more binging I would say 94% cured.

Motivation--feel like everyday is a bright and limitless day.

and

Respect for my body--I had lost all hope before I started CC...and now like annasuzrekab said...every time I feel like giving up I think about CC, and that along with all of you, reminds me why I am on this journey.

OMG.. The challenge for this week is CRAZY WEIRD for me!!! 

I swear on my life (ok, I'm being a lil' dramatic) not 2 minutes before I got on the computer to post my weigh-in, I was putting broccoli and carrots in a bowl to snack on with my veggie dip and thinking to myself...

"what other veggies can I eat like this and not be the same ol'e selection of broc. and carrots??"

....I was about to do a search on the forums for veggies-- then---BAM, read the challenge and was like WHOA....craziness!

Congrats's and Great challenge Baby_Angel_Love....we are like totally on the same wave -length.

Week 6 Oct.15-17...177lbs.  I am so sick of not losing....

FOR THE CHALLENGE-

I tried spaghetti squash about a month ago and thought that was super.  I tried the star fruit about 6 months ago an thought that was... interesting...

I picked up an acorn squash today, haven't done anything with it yet.

Alfalfa sprouts on a tuna sandwich are extremely satisfying(provides good texture other than the tomato kale or lettuce).

Speaking of kale...KALE!!!  I discovered this after reading an article about foods we should be eating-but- are not.... WOW the nutritional value is off the charts and it is really not bad at all... You can put it on any sandwich and you won't taste it...In any veggies dish and it adds that much more value to your dish.  You can even make chips out of it!!!  Fun for the whole family  ;^) Here's that article http://health.yahoo.com/featured/14/foods-you -should-be-eating-but-aren-t

An alternative to starchy taters- Fennel Bulbs....I saw an episode of Giada at Home and tried her Fennel Puree recipe and it was sooooooooooooooo satisfying!  I use to be a potato bread and pasta addict, and now am happy to say ...I am no longer weak to my enemies!  This is the recipe.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-l aurentiis/fennel-puree-recipe/index.html

I know cherries aren't an odd fruit ..but....I had to mention them, all summer long I ate deep red sweet cherries with my fruit salads and yogurt and salads and everything's.  I feel the same about pineapple too!

Here is an interesting site with a list of "the world's most nutritious" http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php

Yey!!!  Congrats everyone on losing! 

I finally am back to dropping after a two and a half weeks of nothing but up and down around 180.

This morning I was at 177.8!!!!

I am so pleased!

I was eating the "bare bones" minimum of 1200 cal. for the first 3 months of losing, and my body was really getting sick of it (I-mentally, didn't mind...but, THIS PHYSICALLY WAS JUST NOT REALISTIC TO SUCCESSFULLY LOSE MORE WEIGHT),I was hitting a plateau while only eating 1200 calories!!!!!!!!!!!

so

in the last two weeks of craziness, I stopped counting for a while...just trying to get my body use to eating more cal's. 

I did gain and lose around 3-5 pounds during this time.

but

  After I started with my new calorie goal of 1600 this week, I am happy to say I am back to losing while eating enough!!! 

AND HAVE LOTS OF  "N-R-G"!!!!!

It was a good learning experience!!

I can't wait until this weeks challenge!

Happy SCHMOOZING!

Great Challenge!!!  I just started to eat spicier foods to help boost my metabolism.  I think I will try the exercising in the morning thing, fidgeting, and chewing gum!

I lost yay!!!!!!  178.5!! 

So I am guessing we are suppose to post our new weight on a new posting?  I posted this last weeks weigh in on my original "weigh in post" and it didn't get posted on the "board".

CW: 180.8....I think is what it was.  unfortunately, I gained :(

I, Chi'Leigh, do solemnly swear that for 3 weeks I will exercise at least 4 times a week for 40 min. a day.

I, Chi'Leigh, do solemnly swear, that, for three weeks I will limit and adhere to a set schedule of time to accomplish things (eg. clean, homework, play, etc...) and my time inside my home to 4 hours a day awake and 7 for sleeping.

Basically, just stop all of my procrastinating....and jump start my swiftness.....hehe..

my measurements:

Neck - 12 

Left Arm - 13

Right Arm - 13.50

Bust - 38

Ribcage - 33

Waist - 31

Hips - 41

Left Thigh - 24

Right Thigh - 24

Why I am here............Well, I am a very introverted person when I am insecure about my size, and a lot of my socializing and happiness ceases to be.  As well, when I start to take care of myself and respect my body, I can tell an immediate difference in mood, personality, spirit, body etc. etc...  The most important aspect of it all for me is health...Bottom Line.  But all the added bonuses are fab. too. 

What is really great about the mood enhancement is that all the sudden people are really attracted to my spirit (character), and I am able to talk to them freely, without any shame or guilt- and this makes it easier to get to know someone!!

Taking care of my body today and today only, keeps me from any feelings of regret and unworthiness.  I love the CC community, and it just keeps me motivated and learning all the time!  I enjoy all of the positive attitudes that bubble up in all the forums.  This is pretty much why I am here!
