Trick NO Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

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

bjs--I use fresh cauliflower. It seems to me that the frozen gets a little rubbery texture to it, but if fresh isn't easily available then use the frozen.

I get the goya products at Super Walmart, like bjs said, in the ethnic section. All the grocery stores here carry them as well. You could probably get the same effect using real saffron.

Oh, I did an upper body weight workout tonight AND I did 20 minutes HIIT on my elliptical.

Silly what are you looking for in the goya... watch out for their salt content though. its everywhere here. Have your husband stop into a store in my area and pick up the stuff.

Really Patty? Ok, I'll write them down and tell him to get me some, any store in particular between Slauson and the 105 on/near Alameda?! Thanks for the tip I will drink more water when I use the packets!

Sorry I don't have a ton of time, I'm on a borrowed computer at the moment. My computer is having SERIOUS issues AKA won't turn on. I will most likely be MIA for a day or two, or seldom on whenever I can get access. I'll miss you all. It's definitely going to be a trying period for my WOE just because I'm so dependent on my ADBB time and spreadsheets and diet organizer. UGH. I must stay strong. I love you all and I hope to be back regularly soon!

Have a good night and day and night and day for as long as I'm gone!

I hope to have to add some treats to the chart when I come back! Welcome to the newbies that showed up today! I'll be back in no time to check up on all of you!!!

Hi Christine - glad that you joined the challenge too!

BJS - I went shopping - couldn't find the GOYA products yet... looked in the isle with the ethnic foods, called the local health food stores, But, I haven't given up yet. I loaded up on Cauliflower...LOL!

ahhh Joy... we don't have a Walmart near us either. But, I bet if I call Goya, they can tell me where to buy it out here. Great workout

Silly or Patty - if you find it out there will you tell me. I have to go to Beverly Hills to my doctor tomorrow. I'll stop and pick some up while I'm there.

Hey Sunflwr...welcome to the challenge. I use the WATP videos too (when I get a chance).

Yay Christine! You're joining us. Let the loosing begin!

Saty...Hurry back! We'll miss you while you're gone. My comp crashed a couple months ago (brand new!) so I know how frustrating it is.

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

Hi, all. InHisGrip recruited me. I'm in!

Wow, this will be the first time in I don't know how long that I won't be eating halloween candy.... ours, my kids', the post-Halloween candy dishes at work... ugh!!

**inhisgrip** · August 21, 2006, 08:31 PM

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

Wow Adena...That was quick! lol So happy you're joining us.

I know what you mean...I'm definitely going to be missing my candy corn.

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

Hey.... Christine and Adena... glad you're here!

Saty.... hurry back.... you need to be here to keep us in line!

Ok... I did really well yesterday and my water intake ended up being like 140 ounces. I'm actually surprised how easy it was. During the week I'm filling up my 33 oz bottle and it's easy to keep track of how much I drink. On the weekends when I'm home I think I'm going to keep a gallon in the fridge and I'll know it has to be gone by the end of the day. I'm actually craving water now... this is great!

The only thing I need to do is figure out my exercise schedule and I'll be set. What I need to do is get my butt out of bed earlier in the morning and be at the gym by 6:00 like I used to. Someody give me a shove, ok?

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

Hey Adena! You can do it!

**ValidRouge** · August 22, 2006, 05:37 AM

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

Welcome aboard Adena. Well guys....I'm BACK UP AGAIN this morning. (!#$@#$%^!

So, my starting weight for this challenge is 203.4.

breakfast this morning is 2 boiled eggs and water
Lunch & dinner, who knows, but it will be meat and vegetables of some sort.

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

Joy, my menu is exactly the same, so far. Trying to choke down 2 hardboiled eggs right now.
