Calling all Maintainers - join us for NO-vember!

[forfreddie]

aaargh! I forgot!!!! Late night foggy brain and had a very plain and boring biscuit with my cup of tea! logged onto the forum and have just remembered the challenge!
I don't think I will ever get a mango or anything like it
Oh well. Better luck next week.

Ok found some cute little emoticons for the group to consider as a reward for NO-vember.

[jlou]

I like the strawberry or the banana.... Broccoli turns my stomach!!

What does everyone think - I was thinking claim the reward for the whole month but if someone slips (like FF forgetting LOL) I don't want them to say they have blown it and not bother...
Thoughts?
And thanks heaps GUG!!

[giddyupgirl]

What about we make it a weekly reward for the entire month, that way we could claim up to 4 of them for the month. It would be too disheartening if by eating 1 biscuit you could blow your chances of getting the reward, personally that would probably initiate a lot of negativity and a binge.

[jlou]

I think weekly is good too.....

[jlou]

NGU we have a worm farm that all the dead stuff goes to - vege garden is
Coming so then we will pick as we eat

Had a thought in my diary.... NOvember for me will
Be like a long reset (avoiding more than just the things I am saying No to - trying to be as CMF as possible - already I have dropped down under 66
Which i had been over a while) in December I will then tiptoe back into maintenance - reintroduce one thing at a time each week to really assess the impact.
Gotta say - it's nice this morning to be only 1.6kg over maintenance start weight (when I was 2kg heavier than this 2 or 3 days ago..... Oh to bottle this feeling!

Have to be a strawberry for all you sweet thangs

I have come so close to deviating with some chocolate or nuts over the last 24 hours but it was this thread that kept me honest!

[giddyupgirl]

hmmm, what is he sucking up for? I like the strawberry too, he is cute.

GEEZ what ever happened to tuff love in this world

Don't be too kind to ff cause she's off on hols to the Gold Coast soon and will be licking gelato (sobbing loudly....)
Make her have the broccoli head

Jlou, I don't mind what the reward emoticon is, (but the "she'll be sweet" strawberry sends the right message).

[Never Give Up]

yep, strawberry is great. What about broccoli if you're not so good (hee hee!)

[mcpsych]

if you misbehave it should be a pineapple ( or at least the rough end thereof hehe)

[Never Give Up]

awww, but I LIKE pineapple (like broccoli too though!! )
have you had any pineapple yet mark? very good for the digestion I believe.

[giddyupgirl]

I struggled to find the good food that I did, strangely enough I found heaps and heaps and heaps of junk food, what a reflection of our society that is

Check out my signature for the NO-vember challenge reward and let me know what everyone thinks, we could have one strawberry reward and do a X for the number of weeks we have said no for, like the mango and waterwise ones.

[mumandnana]

Hi Jlou, wasn't able to post last Monday so will speak for both last Monday and this one as it is just in the morning and I am heading to bed ( no lollies or bought biscuits in the house anyway . I have been very good concerning my two no foods for No-vember, all ship shape and Bristol fashion.

[jlou]

Thanks for reporting in Mumandnana!
How is everyone else going?
GUG how do we get those strawberries into our signature now???

I had a blowout weekend - not a break of NOvember, just bread! I was on a course for 2 days and they had only sandwiches and biscuits. Let's just say it got carb ugly and on Sunday - 2 days before my 4 month weigh in - I was nasty over my danger weight! Carb reset going well - more than 2 kg gone in 2 days. Have stayed carb free today so looking forward to seeing the scales tomorrow morning!
