I've been trying new things too! I'm definitely trying to eat something green at least once a day, I strive for more but some days I don't make it. I've been eating spinach, green Beans, sweet peas, edamame, green grapes, green apples, and pesto (which is something new for me but I can't eat a lot of it because it is high in calories). Oh, and I was down another pound today, YAY!

I know spaghetti squash isn't green, but I've been eating a lot of that too. My initial goal was to not only eat green foods for this month, but to eat healthier foods in general. I'm definitely trying new things and I have been pleasantly surprised so far.

I'm still trying to Go Green for the environment too: still using more natural light during the day, washing with cold Water, etc. We started using cloth napkins instead of paper towels. It's really fun trying to come with new ways to go green.

Anyone else want to share how they are "going green" and "eating green"?

Im keeping up with the WL part, but I havent really changed anything diet wise or environmentally. I am a BIG veggie eater naturally. One of my biggest fears about banding was that I wouldnt get to eat raw broccoli (no dressing), its my fav.

Im also pretty Green. I use Compact florescents. NYC requires that we recycle. Mass transpo is the standard here.

I have always washed in cold water- hot Water makes fat girl cotton shrink!! I have been eating heavier broccoli, lima Beans, peas and turnips. (well pre-fill that was) I even bought a new shirt that was GREEN! hahaha ha! I have been conserving fuel by limiting our trips to town to twice a week. I also opened up all of the blinds in the house to let the natural light in. Everyone seems to be doing great!

Mia, you're doing great! Congrats on your weight loss! I updated your stats.

How are you doing since your fill? Do you think you have more restriction?

Congrats on the weight loss Hazeleye! I will update your stats. You're getting closer and closer to Onderland! How exciting!

Everyone is doing a great job, keep up the good work!

Well, my weight has been at a stand-still for a few days. I knew it would be happening soon. I ALWAYS lose in spurts. I just hope I start losing again soon to meet my goal! I didn't make the last one and I REALLY want to make this one. I started back exercising today, so maybe that will jumpstart my weight loss again.

I swear we were seperated at birth. My weight is at a standstill as well. I am kinda bumbed today. I know the scales will go down again, but everytime I have one of these plateaus I have this slight panicked feeling. Like, "Oh my, is this it. Am I going to quit losing now." I know I won't, but those old thoughts are sneaking up today. My dh thinks I'm not eating enough. Who knows. Last night I ate a 6 oz steak and a small cup of steamed veggies. It was VERY yummy. My restriction has also loosened up. I don't really want anymore fills for awhile. I am at 8cc and I have been very aggressive with fills. I am just going to keep on keepin one and I'm sure the scales will drop again.

Georgia, I'm with you. I was a few pounds short on the last challenge, and I REALLY want to make this one!!! I also am SOOO ready for onederland.

Let's all hang in there and we will see those scales drop again!!!

LOL, I often think we were separated too! I know how you feel. These old thoughts of "I'm gonna be fat forever" keep poppin into my head. I mean, I know that's not true, but old habits are hard to break!

My restriction is loosening up a little too! Nothing major, but I can definitely eat a little more. I've still been doing really good, with the exception of Sunday. Sunday was a day full of bad food choices for me, but I started back strong today, so we'll see what happens.

I think my biggest problem is that I don't exercise on a regular basis. I did exercise today and I plan on doing it from now on. You know, I really haven't had to exercise, I've lost very consistently without it. I know that eventually I won't lose anymore unless I exercise, so I guess it's time to get my lazy butt up and start, lol!

You are soooo close to Onederland!!! I know you'll make it!!!

We still have 12 more days to go, we can do this. Our bodies need a few days to catch up with the weight-loss. We're doing great. Today I woke up at 182. My goal was 180 and I can't believe I am almost there. I have never made my goal with weight. How great is this!!!!! We're in it together. Don't feel bad about crappy eating, I do it when I get nervous. Oh well...

[georgia girl 35]

Congratulations darr!!! You're almost there! I updated your stats, keep up the great work!
