I take it back - the prunes work WONDERS!!!
I've had two good days, quantity-wise, though probably not quality wise. I don't know why I am so averse to eating fruit - I certainly don't have that problem with chocolate! I did cheat and eat a small chocolate chip cookie yesterday, but I don't think I have eaten anything I oughtn't to today. I don't feel hungry now, but I still want to go in the kitchen and rummage around for something. Good thing there is somebody here keeping a watchful eye on me!
The Heffers!
This is our Diet Challenge blog; each of us is looking to lose weight, and we are challenging each other with specific goals every two weeks. Whoever doesn't meet the goal, pays a penalty into a bank account we've set up, and at the end of the challenge - July 2010 - we will use the money to support a 3rd world family through Heifer International (see link below).
Mom / Carol
Mom / Carol
20lbs down!
Esther-Marie
Esther-Marie
30 lbs down!
Eileen
Eileen
16.5lbs down!
Heifer International
And so we begin...
| Actual | Goal | Target | |
| Mom | 213.5 | 179 | -34.5 |
| EM | 234 | 180 | -54 |
| Eileen | 262.5 | 199 | -63.5 |
See the Success Rate chart at the bottom of the page to track our success!
Weigh-In 01/27/10
| Start | End | Loss | |
| Mom | 188.5 | 187 | -1.5 |
| Me | 201 | 202 | +1 |
| Eileen | 246 | 244 | -2 |
This means that at the end of roughly 5 months:
Mom lost 26.5lbs
I lost 32lbs
Eileen lost 18.5lbs
What a fantastic result!! See the Success Rate chart at the bottom for the weekly totals...
We continue with a goal of 2lbs per 2 week period - it seems to be working ok for us so far!

Chelsea doesn't like fruit either. What about smoothies. Chelsea will drink fruit smoothies as long as their aren't chunks. She mixes them herself which is huge because fruit is a real issue for her!
