Weigh in: 183

Changing my eating habits to Vegan Raw Food.
This should be interesting...I did it a few years back, lost weight but went back to SAD (Standard American Diet) and gained it back. 22 lbs in 2.5 months. Only thing that ever took it off.

I added you in Autumnbreeze, did you have a goal weight that you want me to put in the chart? I didn't see a prior post with one in it. I'm fascinated by the idea of your new diet, though doubt it is something I could accomplish. But would be interested in hearing more about it.

I'm the same! Again!

Autumn I am also curious about your diet. I like meat too much plus hot food but I am still intrigued.

140 this last Friday. Der, but I'm already coming back down. Salt?

Trying something new with a bunch of webtools I've found around. I have a google visualization thingy tracking my overall body composition, a twitter feed keeping track of what I eat (just not how much) that I can update from my cell phone, and some "inspirational" photos that randomize (may not be the safest for work!)

Please just don't ask me how I did it, 'cause I'm still wrapping my head around the code...!

Hi Ladies,

May I join you?

I've had a very busy year or two, and have not taken care of myself the way I should have been. And sadly, not nearly enough riding as I would like.

SOoooo, I joined Weight Watchers a few weeks ago, in an effort to drop off some of these extra pounds I'm carrying around. I do well in the structured environment of a program like WW, because I have to track everything, write down everything that passes my lips, etc. It keeps me accountable, and I like that.

Joining you ladies would help keep me accountable to someone other than myself! Which I also know works for me, from experience. When I was 20, I wanted to quit smoking (I'd smoked since I was 14yo). So, I told EVERYONE I knew that I was going to quit, figuring that the embarrassment of failure would be enough to motivate me. Well, I'm 39yo now and I haven't had a cigarette since then, so it must have worked!

So, if you can add me to the spreadsheet, that would be super.
11/7 would be 165lb. 11/14 would be 162lb.

I guess I need a goal, too..... Let's say 155 by year end. The holidays are going to be tough.

Thanks!

Susan
