    so I'm averaging 1200 calories / day eating healthy -- lots of veggies, very little junk, lots of water, usually taking in 60-70 g carbs, 80-90 g protein, 50-60 g fat. I'm 61, 5'4"..... hoping to lose 1 pound week. I'm not that active but am planning to add 30 minutes brisk walking most days. Am eating within a 9 hour window each day. Any thoughts? Key goal right now is planning and tracking food as a consistent daily habit. three days strong!

    I'd say if it's working for you keep it up! Everyone will be different and our challenge is finding what works! Once your weight loss starts to slow, I would definitely increase your exercise. Great job Nancy!!!

    Quote to embrace today:

    “The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.” – Oprah Winfrey

    How's your attitude with the upcoming weekend? Are you feeling strong and on top of the world? I am formulating plans in my head on how to deal with hunger and boredom and what I shall eat. It always helps to have a plan!!

    Yesterday was another great day with almost 15,000 steps! No loss on the scale yet, but hopefully something by Monday morning :)

    BTW...no quotes over the weekend. My iPad and MFP don't like each other very much :) Luckily I can check in, but it crashes a lot.

    This week has been good, I’ve tracked everything. Now comes the hard part, the weekend. I’ve lost every month this year, two of the months it was 1lb. I know if I did this 7 days a week instead 4 or 5 I would have better results. Thanks for the challenge i thinks it’s just the push I needed.

    Hi all,
    New to the forum, and a few days late. Hope that is ok!
    Sick of starting over.
    October 12th weight: 156
    Height: 5’6”
    Goal Weight By December 31st: 138
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130

    Starting tomorrow, I want to religiously track my foods, and find ways to deal with the cravings when they pop. I need to find another outlet for my stress eating.
    I also want to workout 5 days

    I will post again on Monday. Have a great weekend.

    This is similar to me! I have been working on and incorporating diversions for a long time. I find if I exercise most days even a fun walk--less apt to stress eat. You will find what works. 5 days sounds like a great goal.

    Well my challenge is to sleep at this point and stop the caffeine at 2 pm like I used to. I need a quick protein powder that in not chocolate. Some work days are 12 hours and it is hard to eat on the job. Don't want the caffeine in chocolate later in the day. This lack of sleep is throwing off everything.

    Happy Saturday!!! Well it’s the weekend and we need to stay diligent - make new habits for weekends and it can start today! Maybe even pre- track so you know where you stand? Yesterday was another low carb day (finally 5 in a row!!) and I will continue today and tomorrow!! What is your plans for the weekend to stay consistent?

    Good morning! Success: I'm down five pounds since starting this challenge last week. Very happy and relieved as I'd been climbing slowly but steadily for several months. Thank you to everyone for being in the challenge, I find your postings very helpful and encouraging. I'm new to MFP and am enjoying tracking my food and exercise, I hope this lasts :) I had a good brisk walk after dinner yesterday, first one in a looong time, and enjoyed how I felt during and after. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

    I'm joining in here because I've hit a plateau. I've been tracking my meals on MFP for 140 days in a row. I'm much more conscious of what I can and cannot eat, and it's resulted in a loss of about a pound a week. I've relaxed a bit though, gotten comfortable, eaten a treat here and there, been lazy instead of going for a walk. So, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I don't want to see the same #. As soon as I post this I'm putting on my tennis shoes and walking. H: 5'5", W: 153, Age: 38, Goal: 145 before the year ends.
