BRAVO!! I'm so proud of you, EATING VEGGIES!!! You're doing beautifully and learning to love, or okay, I won't push it, "tolerate" new foods, is a huge step towards being healthy!! GREAT JOB! 

WOE as in With Online Encouragement? :-) Im glad to see you have instilled a life long healthy habit from your BEACH adventure! And all your kudos you've been getting from every, "well deserved!" 

I love your sense of humor. That sense is going to take you a long way in this journey. I really do think of you when I cook, prepare, and eat vegetables. No poo! I mean that my observation is sincere. I do not mean that vegetables are NOT poo! 

Way to go on on not eating the cotton candy and buying some veggies. Congrats on the compliments, you deserve them! 

Good idea getting your friend to keep you away from the cotton candy! Kudos for getting the compliments you deserve after all your hard work! :) Keep on eating those veggies too :D 

Glad you are testing out the new veggies and that you've already found some that you can at the very least tolerate. Compliments are amazing, aren't they? Helps you keep your focus. We all know it's not only about looks, but it sure helps! :)  

Can't wait to see what veggies you're trying this week! 

Congratulations getting the veggies! You have made a lot of progress!  

Hmmmm... pretty soon you'll be joining the Vegetarian and Vegan Group here on FS - LOL! Keep us posted on the ones you like! Glad you had a fun time partying, and getting those well deserved compliments!  

bt...there is no way i will "love" the veggies...lol - amryk the vegetairian group...no way...my fil would love it - he is vegan 

There ya go, see anyone can do it. You go girl w/ the veggie's...lol Don't have nightmares about brocolli ok...lol Oyie kookoyie gonna get you ...... lol GREAT JOB AND KEEP IT UP!* 

Im glad people are finally giving you the compliments you deserve. Sure we know we do this for our health AND looks but it always seems more motivating when others notice our hard work. Your adventure into veggie land seems to be going well. Let's face it, it is healthier to eat them and you are finding some that you really like, so it wonderful that you are such an "adventurer'! 

marriedmom...rofl...i will have nightmares about the brocolli attacking me... 

Hey girl, I'm proud of you, too. I've seen you at your heaviest and now. YOU LOOK GREAT and the compliements from those who don't see you often are VERY MUCH DESERVED!!!!! As for the Veggies, here again WAY TO GO!!!! We've talked A LOT about your hatred/dislike for anything green that most call edible. I'm proud of you for taking on this challenge. Keep it up. COTTON CANDY...YOU DID GOOD, unless you snuck more off the back of my shirt or hair that I didn't feel, you didn't do bad. I can't believe how sticky I got. esp. my shirt. I'm glad I was busy and didn't have much time to sneak any. I eat it it's just not worth paying the price at fairs/carvinals for it. I'd rather have other things like nachos (having both free that night was a challenge to us both). Keep up the good work!!!! 

Thank you for the encouraging words on my journal entry today. I look forward to reading what you have to say every day and I miss you when you are "gone" -- that is to say -- when you don't have an entry!  

BRAVO! BRAVO! WHOO RAY! Don't you feel like you're walking on cloud nine by now! It's such a motivater to have people notice and compliment your weight loss. I'm so happy for you! Keep on going girl! 

thanks every one...i really appreciate the encouragement and well wishes... 

You are so right in what you wrote in your comments on my journal today. I am almost PARANOID about putting fibers and fruits back into my diet. Right now I am having one (1) portion of fresh fruit and one (1) portion of fiber (bread or pasta) a day. I am thinking that might not be enough but you are SO RIGHT! I am trying to ease into Phase II and Phase III. 

You are so funny and insigtful... you should write more! Try going to a farmers market (I seem to be typing that a lot today, lol) Buying fresh and cheep helps! Besides that... ask the people selling it for a fave recipe!
