Everyone, we are 5 weeks in and doing great. Everybody is right on track.
For those with big goals, keep reminding yourself it is a marathon not a sprint.
For those getting very close to your goals, its your call how you go from here, but you may want to slowly add a few calories to your meal plan. The group plan will continue for everyone until all people reach their goal so you will want to look into establishing your maintenence levels. This allows you to see where your "baseline" number is so you can maintain that weight while the others are still losing. You can really do this in a variety of ways. "Cheat days" are nice because it allows you to eat some bad food every once in a while. If you like the cheat day idea, I would calculate your calories, carbs and fat on a weekly basis. That way, when your cheat day comes, you will know how much you can eat. Or, if you want the more healthy approach, you can just add in some more calories every day. Its entirely up to you.
If you do want to adjust your caloric intake, remember to change it in your profile so you can still track violations.

Also, if you are going to do a cheat day on Saturday then move your weigh in to Saturday morning instead of Sunday so you have an accurate reading0
