I read an earlier post of yours of how you weren't exercising yet but you are eating healthy foods and losing weight fast...and how you didn't care....and that's awesome. I'm with you on that!!

After looking at those darn before and after pictures, i think for one member (hocuspocus?) she didn't even start with exercising! She just decreased portions and calories!

ah-hah moment for me...hehehe. Thanks for all the love

I hope this week is a slam-dunk anddddd enjoy Vegas. I've gone to Vegas a few times...well, because my dad lives out there...anyways, i KNOW you'll have a good time! pictures? pictures!
 
Girl! Our vegas idea is taking off!! I posted something in my thread about our idea and now we have 4 rsvps. This is going to be so much fun!!!!! OMG. Where is Jess! She has to be there!!

We need to set the date!

We also need to see if we need to make restrictions. Like I'm not inviting "minors" for obvious reasons. That means no kids on this trip. I don't think that will be a problem, do you?

Also, do you think it is ok if people bring people outside the forum? I want this to be a bonding experience for us all, but don't want to be too strict. I just don't want any jealous boyfriends, husbands, wifes, or girlfriends raining on our parade, cuz it will be time to celebrate our 6 months of weight loss!
 
that is so neat that one day off and you're excited to get back to eating right. I guess reflux is an extra motivator. Hope you're feeling better today

I would have noticed the missing meat after the first bite. That is hilarious! Way to dodge the nachos girl!

Congrats on the 1 pound. You are going to kick butt this week! 6 pounds would be amazing! You can do it!!

Well I knew there was SOMETHING wrong with it lol... it seems so small!
To be honest, right now, it seems so easy. I'm just so motivated to get the weight off and get on with my life that I'm willing to do it... and I'm actually enjoy the "somewhat empty belly" feeling. It feels good to not be so weighed down with food all the time! Plus I THINK I'm carb sensitive cuz I've noticed my stomach is a lot flatter when i eat this way. :)

It seems to be working Laura and it's good cuz it's not overwhelming. I figure when my weight loss slows, I will start to incorporate some exercise but until then... one thing at a time, one day at a time. :)

I agree... I think it should just be adults for sure...

Also, do you think it is ok if people bring people outside the forum? I want this to be a bonding experience for us all, but don't want to be too strict.

I agree. I don't want us all to show up with other people and then not get to know each other ya know? But we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable either... Do you think significant others coming or not coming would cause the problems?

I know what you mean!! I feel better too when I'm not stuffed like a turkey at thanksgiving.

I had the empty feeling too a few times last week, I felt much cleaner and leaner and less weighed down.

Thanks hun! It wasn't anything a Tums couldn't take care of but it's crazy how my stomach so quickly turned against those foods! I'm tellin' ya, just testing myself to see if I can go one more day eating healthy and then seeing the results is keepin' me moving! I'm so excited to get this weight off! I can't wait for the "new" life ahead! No more worrying about people seeing me in a bathing suit or shorts... just enjoying my kids and my husband and my life... that's the way to spend it! No food is worth sacrificing those moments. :D

I don't see a problem with significant others coming really, so long as they don't take away from us getting to know each other. I want this trip to be about those of us who are doing this Vegas weight loss challenge! If people know their significant might feel left out or not connected with what we are celebrating, they might be better left at home. They can do that another time. But the significant others might be able to bond with each other too, who knows!!

I just want to avoid people planning to do their own thing and leaving the group, otherwise this is just another vacation. I guess we can see what the others think about it. I think significant others are key figures of support for most people, so I'm on the fence...

I agree... The important part is that WE all connect and get to meet in person. Start the post and let's see what others think... :)
 
Vegas Trip Potential Date

I need your help picking the date ASAP, so we can get this Vegas Challenge Rolling!! :party:

I looked over the calendar and found a date that might work. Let me know what you think!

This would give us 5 months from this coming Friday to lose weight!:sifone:

Depart to Vegas
Friday November 7th, 2008

Return Home
Sunday November 9th, 2008

Let me know if that sounds good for you, and we can start looking up more info on rooms and flights... etc..

Any later dates will push us too close to the holidays, which means we might have to plan our trip after the new year....
