I would imagine, especially the first couple of months that there will be ties. I would be happy to send these lucky winners a FQ as long as there weren't more than 10. If there are more, that is great!!!! I would like to be more informed on becoming Vegan or at least Ova-vegan. I tried it once but can't eat nuts. what is the next best for protein. DH isn't thrilled with tofu. I need lots of help!!!!
Think long and hard before going vegan.You must get enough protein or your body will not function properly.I figure we were given canine teeth for a reason.If you do go vegan you will need to do supplements.Have you thought of just cutting out beef and doing only chicken and fish?

If you need a little incentive to lose weight then check out the fat quilts for fluffy people thread. This was started by thelondonzoo. You make a weight loss block for every pound you lose. Some of us will need to make more than 1 quilt but that's ok.

For Gwyn and Mary Jane, Carrie did start a thread for making a weight loss quilt http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-68430-1.htm. You won't see any of my blocks there, since I haven't lost a pound since we started it, GRRR. Actually for December I gained a pound. Sigh
When I tried to access the above site this is what I got:The requested resource (/t-68430-1.htm.) is not available.
Try it without the period at the end. :)

Today is the BIG day! I will either eat up all the goodies left from Christmas....or THROW it out! Time to remove it ALL from this house! Who is with me? Ready to start pitching? 1....2....3 PITCH! :D
Big sigh, I would like to lose 30-40 pounds...I CAN DO THIS!
For those who hate exercise as much as I do, here is a motivational saying to keep you going.

Everytime I walk, I leave fat in my footsteps :thumbup:
