Debbie,
I am still trying to figure out who is your mom????

Love Love Love it!!! Your amazing deb and I knew you would do this. Congrats on your 30 day challenge and of course I will still be following you

Debbie,

Congrats on sticking to your challange. It seems like you really do well when it comes to challenges.

Also, your weight seems to be improving. I remember seeing you DW stuck at 176 for a while. Now, you're at 174. That's great!

I was all over the place today, but reading your posts has motivated me to try to get back on track. Tomorrow has to be better!

Thanks for sharing your world with us.

Hi Debbie,

Reading about your challenge gave me the idea to start one of my own. I'm on day #4. You made an interesting comment about being in mourning over not having dairy again. I SO know what you mean, except I am in mourning about not being able to eat chocolate. While
living in Europe, I tried every type of chocolate in every country I was in. I can't imagine going to Germany or Switzerland again and not having chocolate or cheese!!!! Interestingly enough, I lots 100 pounds the first time while living there...so I guess it's possible. How odd we would mourn food, but we do.

In any case, congrats of finishing your challenge!

Debbie,

I like the way you keep up with your numbers. Although I'm still struggling with getting back on track, I enjoy knowing that you are hanging in there. You inspire me in so many ways.

Losing 4.5 in such a short time is incredible. I wouldn't worry about the weight. It seems as if you are losing fat and mainting/gaining muscle, which leads to smaller measurements like the ones you've reported.

Re: vegan chocolate. At the VegMichigan camping trip I took last weekend they had vegan smores! Vegan mashmallows from Whole Foods, vegan chocolate from Trader Joe's and gluten-free Graham crackers. Who knew? I will admit to eating two smores. Worth every calorie - but only as a once a year thing .

I remember having s'mores at a Girl Scout function. I was maybe in the 5th or 6th grade. They were so good. But I never had them again. Dont think I would do good with vegan chocolate either, just better to keep it out of my life. At least for now. Right now, chocolate, if I think about it, I can't remember how it tastes. Funny, something that I loved so much, less than 6 wks into this & I can't remember what it tastes like.

Funny but sad, about the man almost running his wife over with the cart.

Debbie, I pm'd you.

You are doing great! How much have you lost sinc eyou've 86ed the BC pills?

My weight is still the same, but then again, I haven't been following the plan. I'm sure that once I get back on the plan, the weight will come off.

Your doing great and such an inspiration for others

I've been hoping you would post a link to your blog soon! I will look forward to reading this when I get a chance.

Take care, you're doing great!

Good, I look forward to reading your blog as well!

Hope your day is good

I look forward to seeing pictures! Yes, writing in your journal really keeps you on your toes!

Hope you feel better and have a good day

Hey Debbie,

It is cooler today, at least in Stockton. 92 for the high so it should be cooler for you. My a/c is on a timer & won't come on until it reaches 82, during the day, it came on around 10 yesterday. Today, it didn't even come on early in the am, I had it set for 530 am, so it would cool off while I was getting ready for work, but now that I am not employed, I guess I need to change that. Tuesday was the 1st day of Aug. that I had turned on the a/c. I seem to run cooler when I eat vegan, anyone else notice that? Anyway, it hasn't been on since about 1030 last night.

I was looking thru your recipes, some of them look good. I like the Tacoless Taco Salad with the missing piece. LOL!!
