Super Challenge 08Okay! Barb and I have a Challenge!But I haven't cleared the rules with her yet exactly so I ehh, what's that? I heard something 
Here are my ideas and any way... Anyone who wants to lose some weight is welcome. You must pick an amount to lose. You'll have 11 full Days. Tomorrow to the weigh-in on the morning of the 17th of February, 2008. Who needs a full two weeks? Sheesh 
Don't be afraid to show your weight. Look at the people on Biggest Loser. It's incentive. Or forget all the above and just post your numbers. I've been trying to get back to the original 40lbs I lost and I've been failing! I've been up 10 around 164 and I can't stand it. I'd like to be 149, but will take 154 to start with. Today I was 161.7. I want to be 154lbs by the 17th. No more Mrs. Nice Guy  I tell ya!
I'll send $1000,000.00 to whoever loses the most weight with the picture of the scale & paper. If you just post your number no way in hell am I sending you the green 
WOW I meant $10.00! I'll send $10.00! to whoever loses the most weight 
WOW I MEANT $1.00!!! just kidding! I'll gladly send $10.00 to the winner if I reach 154lbs by the 17th And I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger today 
Best wishes, Avalon 
Look what I can do |

I'll post in the morning

Hey Avalon I'm in! I need some major motivation! I swear I havent been on the wagon since freakin november.
ehh...I dont have a camera though, at least not a digital one with me. I'd have to hold my computer (I have a mac-it has a camera) and that would skew things a lot. So i will just post my numbers, don't worry I'm honest.
I'll post it tomorrow morning. |
||||
| Carnation |
Ok, here it goes, but I want extra points for bravery. I'm in. Starting at 137-138, and I want to be 135.
|
||||
| barb0324 |
My picture of scale is in the mail...
but I"m in, will lose 4 pounds. Scouts honor...
And we're off! |
||||
| Avalon |
Good Morning! OMG! I had wine and chili last night! OMG! OMG! OMG! OK here I go... hey opti what about using a cell phone?
I discovered if I hop off the scale the number stays for a few seconds and I didn't have to hold the camera and show my ugly feet. Carny, Socks! what a great idea DOHHH!!! Starting weight 164.3 but that's not entirely accurate because of how one wine and chili dinner will digest by tomorrow. Did I mention Pringles and licorice?
Come on everyone! You've got a day to post your stats! |
||||
| Avalon |
Yay! B! 
|
||||
| adwred |
Wow, those veggies and 1/2 cup of ice cream yesterday really packed more of a wallop than I expected them to. I had 40 carbs yesterday and gained two pounds, unbelievably. If I'm lucky, by the end of this challenge I'll be back where I was 4 days ago at 148. So I guess that's my goal.
Oh no, now everyone knows about my finger-length second toe. 
|
||||
| Avalon |
Yay! Red!
|
||||
| woof_woof |
It should be counted as cheating. Ballooning yourself up with ice cream just before the race.
|
||||
| adwred |
It wasn't purposeful, like ava's cheat.
|
||||
| Carnation |
Oooh, red, flowers!
|
||||
| adwred |
As you can see from the growth, that pedicure was from New Year's! I just can't bear to remove it because it's so cute. I need to get another one done so my 'roots' aren't showing.
|
||||
| adwred |
Oh and C. it looks like you're fully clothed in your photo. What were you thinking!! Who weighs themselves clothed!! | ||||
| Carnation |
Geez, you're right! I didn't even think about that. I was just so concerned about showing toes. | ||||
| woof_woof |
Does it mean you are naked in the pic? |
||||
| adwred |
I'm always naked, woof woof. | ||||
| opticon107 |
okay so I was 131.0 this morning. By the 17th I want to be 125! I used to be 110 back in October (isnt that depressing?) so I gotta slowly get back to that! 
|
||||
| Avalon |
Avalon naked too
|
||||
| barb0324 |
Sorry I've been distracted and not sure I can do this challenge... so many temptations, but maybe that's a good thing, have to learn to withstand peer pressure and do my own thing, no matter what!
I did take pic but no time to upload and post right ... I think I've lost some weight, hard to tell with my scale, it's all over the place. Might pick up a new one tonight. Love all your footsie pics, lol, I need a pedicure, BAD!!! KUTGW! 
|
||||
| adwred |
Ahhh, there's nothing quite as satisfying as gaining two pounds, then eating really well for a day, zero-carbs, a reasonable amount of food, moderate calories, working your ass off outside shovelling for an hour and a half and waking up the next morning to see that you're a half pound lighter. Yeah... nothing quite like it. Good times.
I think I'm broken. Seriously. My body just wants to be fat, too much, I think.
|
||||
| barb0324 |
Red  
Epsom salt bath, anyone? 
|
||||
| Carnation |
I lost my two already. 
|
||||
| adwred |
Whyyyyyyyyy? Wait, let me guess. Butter-sipping.
|
||||
| Carnation |
|
||||
| opticon107 |
whats butter-sipping?
Also, I feel your pain red, I'm actually up a pound from yesterday. This sucks!
|
||||
| Carnation |
I melt about a tablespoon of butter, and chug it like a tequila shot before every meal. It helps to increase my fat to protein ratio. When I want to lose weight, I just do more butter shots. Be careful if you try it though, suddenly upping your fat intake could mess with your digestive system. | ||||
| Avalon |
Remember there was that whole butter diet thing... Girls were eating sticks of butter and losing weight. I have to search for that link...
I had a rough day emotionally but it started off terrific. Down to 161.4 this morning, but that always happens the first night after I've been bad. Tomorrow's up for grabs. Don't get discouraged. We've got more than a week ahead of us! B, get that new scale. From what you told me, it's messing with you, and knows it. You have to call 555-666-6666 and the Men in Black will come right to your door. Don't forget to wear your shades
... They're here now, gotta go... Best wish... ..... <End of Transmission> <Very Quiet Now> <ZZZZZZZZZZ> <Ground hum> <clicking sounds> <Cat meows> <really quiet now> <really really quiet now> |
||||
| Carnation |
After I lost that weight last month, I did a search and found an official butter diet. Who knew? It's just something I'd stumbled onto on my own, and since butter really agrees with me, it's a good thing. I sort of hesitate to promote it because I'm afraid someone who has an ED type of mindset would take it too far.
How were you bad, Ava? |
||||
| Avalon |
Oh do post a link. I wonder if it's the one I'm thinking about. Inquiring minds want to know. | ||||
| opticon107 |
lol butter diet? what is that like the atkins fat fast? I don't know, but for some reason, butter alone doesnt fill me up, i need something with protein too. | ||||
| Carnation |
Butter goes well with veggies, right X?
WARNING! POSSIBLE TRIGGER FOR THOSE WITH EATING DISORDERS Ok, most of the links I found were to pro-ana websites, which I refuse to link anyone to. This one was a little less freaky, but not very complete, and the info was whack. It says that the reason you lose weight on a butter diet is because it makes the other food you eat more slippery! Good for a laugh. http://www.freewebs.com/butterfast/ Which one were you think of? |
||||
| Carnation |
OMG, priceless, in the pro-butter forum, you can sign up for "Butter Buddies," three guesses as to what my mind read the first time!
|
||||
| Avalon |
OYG! Well Done! I spent a good while searching and hadn't thought of 'fasting'  That's not the website I was thinking about, but it is the same kind of plan! For a second there I thought they were all deceased. It's good an Underground movement is (literally) going on.
Bookmarked that immediately! Thank you! I suppose if I'm loose with the vegetarian thingy.. I mean, dairy and all, what's a stick or two of butter between friends? 
On that note, no time to be playing around with butter, or is it
Toes Exposed 
Is this day two or three? God Help me I'm taking my Father with his scooter to the Mall and that means lunch with a capital L that rhymes with Hell and that stands for DOHHH!!! Best wishes, Everyone, Xeta |
||||
| woof_woof |
Thanks for the reminder. A good one. The only problem is that they have no idea why they loose weight on this kind of diet. It has nothing to do with slipperness.
I've found about this diet a while ago and I like it but you must know when to stop. Otherwise you may get wasted. It's how I operate for years when I'm very busy. Butter, coffee, very little protein, some booze. Better then drugs. |
||||
| Avalon |
Did you mean, Butter then Drugs?
|
||||
| woof_woof |
LOL
Av I've checked your blog. Your diet is just plain madness. Kind of Sparta madness |
||||
| diana76 |
too late??Is it too late to join u guys on ur challenge??? I am so wanting to b down to 175 by then. im 179 right now. this is right up my alley. if u insist i post a pic of my big butt on the scale then ill try and figure out how to do it. Just let me know...lol im am so ready to get the last of this dumb weight off.grrrrr
|
||||
| diana76 |
ewww ewwww side note: lookie im not a newbie anymore..SCORE!!!! | ||||
| opticon107 |
Get wasted? lol. Are you sure that wasn't a side effect of the booze?
|
||||
| Carnation |
Aw, come on, everyone knows about the effects of acute butter intoxication! | ||||
| Avalon |
Woof
I resemble that remaaarrrrkkkk! Sparta!!!!! Diana, Please join in! Grrrrrrrrr!!!! Roar!!!! I'm so hungry!
Just Kidding! Sorta
We've got a whole week ahead of us and anything is possible. Sounds like i've been drinking or eating butter
|
||||
| diana76 |
i want u people to know that all this butter talk made me go out and buy more butter. u know my mom told me i was always one of those kids that would leave finger marks down the sticks of butter when i was little. so im thinkin this butter thing could b some kind of addiction transfer for me.....lmao im only playin but man there r worse things i could b addicted to.**CARBS** | ||||
| opticon107 |
hey carnation, how much butter do you generally eat per day? | ||||
| adwred |
I just ate 3 T. butter and 4 eggs for dinner and I hope to be a leggy supermodel by some time next week.
|
||||
| diana76 |
well if butter and eggs is all it takes to make ya turn into a leggy supermodel i am getting me a milk cow and some chickens first thing in the morning.
|
||||
| Carnation |
I eat between 6-8 tbsp. of butter a day. I don't really think there's anything magical about butter, it's just that we have the highest quality homemade butter, and it really agrees with me.
Red! Dairy?  What happened to your duck fat?
|
||||
| adwred |
I don't know what happened. When I started to put on weight, anyway, I just thought 'fuck it, I'm eating butter'. | ||||
| opticon107 |
I just read somewhere that butter is good for the GI, so I'm going to start eating more of it, in hopes that my acid reflux will go away! | ||||
| Carnation |
Link please. Pretty please? |
||||
| ecrivain |
I believe I'll get that put on a t-shirt!
|
||||
| Avalon |
Good Morning!
Why am I so happy? I broke 160! Yay! In fact, at around 6:00am I weighed in at 159.9lbs. I didn't drink any water, took my morning walk which is to the supermarket and back, about a half an hour to and back- and I'm... 
God I need to be strong right now and not take liberties. It's so easy to relax and feel I can have a binge meal or something. I have 7 Days to lose 5lbs
Maybe the Butter woosh!??? Best wishes, Avalon
|
||||
| barb0324 |
Ava, I'm impressed by your resolve, would love to see you do it this time, I'm willing to put money on you ...oh wait..
And I want that T-shirt too, Red comes up with the best slogans, evah!
Oh, I feel like I'm down another 2 pounds, but have no proof, y'all will have to take my word for it! I think I have everyone beat already..
|
||||
| diana76 |
Well im up a pound this morning and im pissed off about it.

B, thank you for your encouraging words. On that note...
You can weigh yourself at the supermarket No excuses, Of course if we're getting picky the original post challenge said nothing about weighing during the week
|
||||
| barb0324 |
Love your new avatar.. Now I have to get a new one!
|
||||
| Carnation |
Me, too, Ava, so pretty. Congrats on your breakthrough! 
|
||||
| Avalon |
Thank you so much B & C!!! We're in it to win it. But honestly, if you know anything about my history, it's been a long time since I've been trying to get back to 154. And I'd rather make 150lbs. I have to keep my focus and stuff
Looks like this Veg wannabee might be having Beef for dinner  My months quota
I'm going in! Best wishes, everyone, Avalon
|
||||
| opticon107 |
129.2 today! 4.2 lbs to go in 6 days...
Love your new avatar too avalon! hope everyone else is doing well! |
||||
| adwred |
Are you trying the butter sipping opticon? | ||||
| diana76 |
o i know im not gonna make it now. i had a fight with the damn valentine cookies and they won!! but today im vowing to do better and i told the boys they have by this afternoon to have them gone or they go in the disposal. grrrr i have more control that this too that is what pisses me off.
on a happier note its beautiful outside and i am going back to get in it. yay!!!! |
||||
| opticon107 |
I didn't do the butter sipping specifically but I added more butter to my diet. I have butter for dessert now  I also changed my ratios to 80/20. Although I just ate an hour ago and I am really hungry today! I dont know what it is..probably my acid reflux flaring up making me think im hungry.
|
||||
| adwred |
I've been starving today! I've eaten, I think, at least 10 Tbsp. of butter, too. Just one of those hungry days. | ||||
| Carnation |
Is it agreeing with you? I worry about you and the butter. 
|
||||
| adwred |
No, I'm bloated as a beached whale. But then, I'm also brewing one hell of a TOM, so it's hard to say. | ||||
| opticon107 |
I had about 9 tbsp butter today too, just felt starving after eating so much. I know its the acid reflux though, it makes my stomach feel all acidy and hungry all the time, such a pain. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between that and real hunger.
But I did have one small victory - I was very close to going out and buying some peanut butter (my poison) but opted instead for the butter. It was a good save, I can only eat so much butter before I want to puke, but I could probably eat an endless amount of pb. |
||||
| Avalon |
There was a moment today where I was walking past a Dominos Pizza place on my water run... If you could have heard he thoughts in my head! But over everything I shouted NOT YET. It would be so easy to cave. And I so wanted a glass of wine! Sundays are rough I tell ya! | ||||
| diana76 |
i second that about sundays bein rough. i feel like my whole routine is out of whack. Tomorrow will b easier cuz im gonna b busier around here.
i been a good girl today to make up for the dumb cookie mishap...lol gettin ready to go to bed and get a good nights sleep or at least try to have one. hope u r all doing good too. check in tomorrow.
|
||||
| adwred |
This is quite literally the WORST POSSIBLE time of the month for me to be engaging in a weight challenge. Unless the challenge is to gain weight, that is.
|
||||
| Avalon |
Don't worry Red, When I reach 154lbs next Sunday , it's on to 150! Then maybe 4 more for buffering Sunday Brunch . There's always a Challenge!
|
||||
| diana76 |
i second that red i think i set myself up for failure with this one......LOL |
||||
| adwred |
I'll still show my toes on the weigh-in day! Even if I'm heavier! Assuming I haven't been incarcerated for murdering someone in a TOM-related violent rage. | ||||
| Carnation |
If you're making a hit list, I've got some suggestions.
|
||||
| diana76 |
Ya i have a few to add to that list also!!!!!! But at the rate im goin i might just need help with the messy cleanup.......LMAO |
||||
| diana76 |
ok im at 178 now so i have 3 pounds to try and get off by next week. i hope i can do it. YAY!!!!!!!! | ||||
| diana76 |
ok so here is my pic of the scale cuz i cant believe im down anther pounds too. so i figured i better prove it.. WOOHOO 2 pounds to go.
kinda dark but u can read it and yes i hate my feet too...LOL |
||||
| Carnation |
I'm going to post this now since I stop weighing myself during pms. My starting weight was 137-138, and now I'm 132.
|
||||
| adwred |
WTG, you guys!!!!  
|
||||
| opticon107 |
I don't think I'm going to make it by tomorrow, I'm back to 130.4  I seem stuck at 129-130 right now.
|
||||
| adwred |
Yeah, I'm back up to exactly what I was when it started. But then, I have something hormonal going on right now, I think. 
|
||||
| opticon107 |
I'm thinking of trying a short butter fast to kick things up cuz nothing else is working for me now I can't even use the TOM excuse or anything either
|
||||
| Avalon |
I didn't make it either, though I think I'm down 3lbs.
I'm so depressed today I may just pig out and explode! Veggie hot dogs anyone? |
||||
| opticon107 |
well this is ironic! I'm at 131.0 today, exactly what I was when I started!!! forget veggie hot dogs, anyone up for ice cream? (just kidding!!!)
|
||||
| adwred |
I'm in. My weight's exactly the same, today, too. 152. |
||||
| diana76 |
well im actually up a pound but i have no excuses i just ate like crap this weekend and wasnt focused at all. o well ill get back on track. overall im not gonna beat myself up about it.
|
||||
| Avalon |
The meaning of Life. What is it? Can you tell me?
Challenge aside, what a horrible day until I started laughing. Anyone heard of Eddie Lizard? I've heard of him for years and never once seen him. God he's funny and scareligious ! OMG! But I'm watching BBC American and laughing! I'm also drinking red wine, eating a neighbors pizza and have some potobello ravioli for later
Maybe Pantheism is my destiny. Thank you Meg for turning me onto it.
I love to wallow in despair! I also love to laugh! Right now I'm leaning towards laughter! OMG! This won't last for long! Hang on! We're going in! |
