Azoodie's Weight Loss Challenge
Okay this *****. I've gained a bunch of weight since last year and I'm dying to lose it all and then some. I figure if I'm forced to post what I do everyday here you guys can yell at me to get my butt in gear!
Anyone who wants to lose weight and post their daily menus and excercise is free to do so here!!!
Okay so I'm going to try to really stick it out with ww...I'll post my daily menu and excercise goal and update everyday to see if I've stuck to it!
Anyone is free to join! The more motivation the better!

Oh my goodness that's awesome!!! See this is the kind of inspiration I need! 37 lbs is a great achievement, congrats on that!
Jen, I just did the menu from things I had in the house (obviously I have a lot of bananas  ). We're going to order pizza tonight so I just need to stop at the store to get some salad.
When I go shopping this weekend I'll pick up more point friendly stuff like ww bread (the bread I'm using today is potato bread and is 4 points!!! ww bread is only 1 for 2 slices!) I'm going to pick up more fruits and veggies too.
I lost 100 lbs a few years ago but gained almost half of it back I need to get off my lazy hump and do something about it. I just have to stick to the program!!!!!

Re: Azoodie's Weight Loss Challenge
I'll join you Azad.
I need to lose about 20 pounds. I am currently 148 pounds and would like to get down between 128 and 130.
Last night I went to the gym did some weights and ran for about 20 minutes.
I got in a tiff with DH, so I went on a 2+mile walk after dinner. It was beautiful out.
I decided that I don't want to be the wife that "let herself go." I need to correct this problem before it gets waaaaay out of hand.
Breakfast:
1 1/4 cup Fiber One Honey Clusters
1 cup skim milk
Coffee w/ splenda and non-fat creamer
Lunch:
Smart One - fettucini alfredo w/ brocolli
1 cup romaine lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, onion with balsamic vinegrette
Dinner:
TBD
If it's cool out, I will do my 2+mile walk again. If not, to the gym I go.
Good luck all!!

How did you lose and how long did it take if you don't mind me asking.
Thanks  It was great but I have really let myself go. 
Anywho, focusing on the positive! I first just did it on my own, stopped eating fast food, cut out soda, it was very easy at first. Watched what I ate, did the low fat/cal thing. I then added excercising but it wasn't enough I plateued.
Then I joined ww and I must've dropped like 45 or so of the lbs doing ww and excercise making it a total of about 100.
I really feel any amount of weight loss is a significant achievement! I know how hard it is to lose every lb!
Yay so glad more are joining!! If you all want we can start a more official thread on monday with everyones planned menus and excercise goals?

congrats so far!!!!
good luck with your goals!! the girls here can really help keep you motivated!
Can I make one suggestion?
You need to eat protein with every meal! You aren't getting nearly enough. you should eat 1 to 1.25 grams per pound of body weight. this will really help speed things up!

Re: Azoodie's Weight Loss Challenge
lori my homemade hummus is really easy but I'm not sure if it tastes "geniune" i make it how i like it. this is my "diet" version (cause usually I'm more liberal with the olive oil) and i don't use tahini...i just don't love that taste.
Basically you put one (or two) cans of chick peas in a processor, blend it. It won't all blend though cause it's dry, so I add some lemon juice (maybe about 1/2 cup???) process it again. According to how many servings of chick peas I have in there I add that much tsp of olive oil so for each serving it's one serving chick pea, one tsp olive oil. Then, the most important ingredient is crushed garlic. I usually crush a head or two at a time and keep it in a tupperware in the fridge and throw it into things. So I take a heaping teaspoon of garlic and throw it in there. Then just add water until it's smooth and all blended and add salt to taste.
Okay hope that's not too confusing. I don't work well with recipes. I do things by "feeling" But this way, I can eat a half cup of it instead of a couple of tablespoons and it's sooooo low in points
let me know if you try it!
