I will join you. I need to weigh in though. I have weighed about 129 for last year RAW, but stopped weighing myself a few months ago. I think I am the same based on my closes still fitting. My skinny jeans are still snug. When I weigh 124 I can easily fit in a size smaller so that is my goal. SO I want to lose about 5 pounds.
I am doing an apple diet this week. I like mono eating and I am SOOOOO BUSY that is is fast and easy. :p
I like a time period. I work best under pressure. :DQuote:

So it's December 31!
Food log for the day (I will edit as I go)
1/2 apple and 2 glasses of lemon water
1/2 banana
generous handful of pumpkin seeds (or pepitos, I'm not sure which)
4 carrot and cucumber mini sushi rolls (with rice - I finished my son's lunch)
2 sun-dried black olives
2 dates w/ almond butter (OK, I'm getting off track now...)
medley of cruchy veggies
another date
Several glass of water
My weight chart:
10/25: 160.0
10/26: 158.0
I'm in too! This will help me get back on track, when fall arrived in the Seattle area and the weather changed (colder, grayer, wetter!) my rawsome summer of eating went out the window! Gained a few pounds already and just don't feel nearly as good as I had been. So back on track with all of you!
This is so incredible with all of the support...(even have our own cheerleader!!!!!!)...last night- I was tempted by a "triscuit" who told me how good it would taste with my almond cheez- I knew I would have to tell you guy's if I ate it....so, I walked away and had a few carrots instead :D
Today I will edit as I go- I did this on my post yesterday also!
10/26- weighed in at 143.5lbs
Meal #1- Green Smoothie (Kale, Banana's, Flax, Strawberries)
Meal #2- 1 small gala apple w/ 6 brazil nuts
90 minute workout 45 strength training/45 minutes cardio (Treadmill at 4.2 mph)- 1 large Fiji water.....1 hour later 1 oz Wheatgrass-woohoo :D
Meal #3- 1/2 cantaloupe filled with blackberries-yummy ;-)
Meal #4- Carrots with some Raw ceasar dressing dip!
Meal #5- Large GREEN salad with red peppers, zuc's, avocado. Orange strawberry banana juice.
well...wish me luck with meal #6 this is always where I struggle :confused: It is only 7:00pm so, I can't go to bed-haha "WILLPOWER"
Gotta run.....have appointments this am- will post this afternoon and we can also talk about the FIT walk!
Have an amazing day everyone!
Much Love and Many Blessings..........!
December 31 sounds good to me. I kept track of what I ate yesterday and consumed around 1200 calories. I didn't have time to workout so I will make sure to do that today. When I charted my food I came to 15% fat, 4% protein, and 81% carbs. How do I get the protein up to 10%?
This is what I ate:
1 pear
1 mango
5 bananas
handful of collard greens
2 apples
1 orange
1/2 cup almond milk
Butternut squash soup
Weight:
10/25 153
10/26 152
Goal:
140
Wow Maraw! You already lost 2 lbs. Way to go! You might not need the Dec. 31 deadline. I am very excited about this. I hope everyone does well. We will all have to post pictures when we reach our goal. I can't wait!
More greens. They'll add protein without adding fat.Quote:

OFFENSE OFFENSE Yeah for RAW OFFENSE :D
How do I get more greens without adding fat? I just can't imagine munching on kale, collard greens, broccoli, etc. without something else. I know I can put more greens in my smoothies but you have to be so careful about the yuck factor.Quote:

Okay, I'm new here, so I don't know what 8/1/1 is... :confused: Does it have something to do with the first of August - when I should have started this 15 lb challenge?Quote:

I forgot... were we trying to LOSE 15 lbs, or GAIN 15 lbs?
Now I guess I have 16 lbs to lose! Okay... back on track! See... I was just revving up my metabolism for the enormous weight loss that I will post tomorrow!!!!!
Almost forgot... Saw a news article yesterday that said the obesity problem in the USA wastes an extra 2.2 BILLION dollars worth of gasoline per year (due to cars having to haul around all that extra weight and getting poorer gas mileage). Interesting, eh?

Do you have a juicer or blender ?Quote:
