Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Kitty - you're so right "eating this crap isn't worth it" we're reminded of that anytime we have a binge of bad carbs! So, where ever we're at... let's just get back on track!
At least by Friday we should feel better!

Liz - congratulations on the scale moving down - that must feel great!

Welcome Misslili from Hawaii and Olga from Greece - how fun to have people from beautiful places join in... post pictures along the way!

Hey Lisa - nice to see you Welcome!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

ooh..ooh... ( Waving hand in the air) Can I join too? I want to lose 10lbs by Halloween!

I plan on doing this by sticking to extended induction, hitting the gym treadmill at least 30 minutes 4x a week ( aiming for 5x a week)

Hey you guys, here's for accountability today:

Eating on Plan (OWL not induction)...CHECK!
Exercising on Plan...CHECK!
Water....No Check, not enough I think

Good Job joy---

Well my cauli rice was a flop-- the cauli was bitter-- so reminded me of turnip-- guess that is why I prefer frozen cauli if cooked.

My poppers tonight were delish-- I have left overs will chop them in the am and throw them in my eggs!! YUMMY

So, all in all I had a good day too--

How is everyone else doing?

Welcome LaLa...glad to see you here!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Today was a lot better! Dinner was great. Made Blackened King Salmon with Sauteed spinach for me and Rice for DBF. Trying hard to cleanse my system with fish today!

Joy - sounds like you're doing great!

bjs - sorry about your cauliflower - what are poppers?

La_La - Welcome to the challenge. Of course you can join.

I use feta to stuf them ! Thank's for reminding that to me
So good morning eveyone, I'm ready for my first day and I feel very positive. I had my breakfast ( eggs with tomatoes ) and I'm on my way to buy the resistance band and weights. See you all tonight, hopefully everyone with good reports

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Good morning everyone!
Cher-mmmmmmmmm blackened king salmon and spinach sounds just heavenly! I love fish, but my DH won't eat it

Bjs--man, that bites that your cauli didn't turn out right. I've never had a problem with cauli being bitter. You know I tried turnips again night before last....and they were still bitter.

I didn't eat breakfast this morning and my belly is growling. Maybe I can run over to the cafeteria and find some sausage or something.

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

I would like to join the trick no treats challenge. I have 3 kids who I have to take trick or treating (or be shot by them). But, I would like to do anything that would help to motivate myself. I am going to pledge to run at least 1 1/2 miles per day and use my home gym 4 times a week. What do I do to get the little pumkin to pop up?

Welcome misslili!!

You've got all the support you need right here! Anytime you are tempted just drop in and we'll talk you right out of it!! 1.5 miles a day!!! That sound like a great plan. You can do it!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Here is what I’m going to do in order to meet our goal:

• I’ll start eating breakfast for the first time, as an adult .That means that my greens will be 3 caps per day
• I haven’t figured out how yet , but I’ll work around my schedule so I’ll eat every 6 hours.
• I’m going to add lower and upper body exercises. I believe my cardio is OK .

So, first thing tomorrow I’m buying a resistance band and dumbbells.

Welcome Olga!



Breakfast is so crucial on this diet, that is a GREAT thing to add to your plan. Sounds like you are cementing the basics which is the best thing you can do. Let me know how you like the resistance bands and dumbbells!



Have a good one!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

BOOOOOO!!!!


Count me in for this - I don't stand a chance in h*** of losing 10 starting when I weigh on Sept 1 (after my no-weigh challenge ends) but I need to give it all I've got because being the wild animal that I am, the harvest month has always been when I start instinctively craving more food than normal, perhaps a throwback to the caveman days when fattening up before the winter was a matter of life or death. I always get fall munchies, as the days grow shorter.

In fact, I don't need to eat any more at all than usual. My house has heat for the winter, and there will not be a food shortage likely anywhere near me. Instead, (it is already starting), local retailers will bombard my senses with the smells and sights of all manner of tooth-rotting franken-delights, followed in rapid, overlapping succession by buy-me campains for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines, and Easter carb-laden junk food. Coworkers will bring the stuff to work to share, too. And my Birthday is betweeen the first 2.

So if this challenge can keep me from succumbing to the extra pressure, I'll be happy if I can drop 7 or 8 by shooting for 10.

Welcome Susan!

We will do all in our power to keep you motivated all the way to Halloween!!! It seems that all the cravings of the holidays start squarely on halloween.

Have a good one!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Well, shoot...if Boonie can do it, so will I.

Partaking in the harvest festivities is more my families game, and my addiction to carmel apples have slowly subsided over the years. I said slowly.

But...and it's a big BUTT, my birthday is 5 days after all hallow's eve and I'd like to join in this little gang of hulligans to keep me straight during these hectic days of going back to school, if in you all don't mind.

So....My goal is to drop down to the 180's (anywhere in that vacinity) by...

Burning rubber on my treadmill
Drinking my water like a good kid
Keeping on the straight and narrow of avoiding smores (see my journal for confessional)
and...
Staying away from the evil scale for no less than 14 days, because I like to be surprised and not feel attached to the metal monster.

LISA! Welcome!

I'm glad to see you joined! Caramel Apples are my deal too, but I know I can be strong! We are going to kick these ten lbs right out the door!!

Welcom La La!

I'm glad you found us! Exercising is a great way to kick the weight loss into gear! I'm on extended induction too, so we should keep an eye on each other.

Have a good day!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

I'M BACK!!!

It killed me not to be online more these past two days, and I got very depressed and semi stressed out, and food was becoming tempting. I didn't want to come back here and tell you all that I had cheated, so it was thinking of everyone here that stopped me from going off plan. THANK YOU!!

I think I'm up to date on the thread. I hope I welcomed all the newbies! If not WELCOME!

Please report any loss clearly so that I can update the chart. I'll post the chart on Mondays! For those of you who are new, for every one lbs. lost you get a "treat" on the chart!

Keep up the good work!!
