Very Few Rules

1. A New Thread will be started every monday
2. Weigh Ins are at the start of the week. Or whenever you feel like If you want to report your weight 1 time per month - totally fine with that.
3. Google Doc Spreadsheet is here: http://tinyurl.com/Lose8By2014
4. Post anything you want and support one another.
5. This is "not" a group - it is just a "free and open thread"

This thread was created specifically to promote a "Slow and Steady" approach to weightloss and fitness!

    CW: 165 - 2.2 loss for the week
    GW: 160

    I am doing much better hovering around 1400 calories. May change my goal to .5lb per week instead of 1lb. so I can around that number.

    Chevy: Thanks for your work here and the Keep in Green Challenge. It's definitely keeping me motivated! :drinker: <--coffee

    Rock on!! :glasses:

    @Rhon - Great Job. I have you in the spreadsheet. and Thanks so much for being in the other challenge.
    It is so good to hear that you are having luck upping the calories.

    in 2012 and 2011 I lost 30 lbs by eating only 1200-1400 per day (I am 5'7" and started at 200 lbs) I lost it all, but got "skinny fat" and gained it all back. now i am "eating more" and getting fit... it feels a lot better.

    Tagging in - weigh in on Weds.

    Well, ignore what I said last week - I'm an idiot, I have been averaging around 1700 a day. So I have now dropped to 1600 and will stick with that for 4 weeks. :bigsmile:

    My weight may not be budging much, but my clothes are fitting better.

    @tplenge - Thanks so much - You said it exactly right - I made this up to prove a point that it doesn't matter the rate.. it is about the lifelong habits and transformations!

    Up 0.1. I know this is in the noise and basically staying the same, but.... Trying to keep focused on the long-term number and not the daily.

    I've just decided to do something similar to this. I only weigh in on the 1st of every month and eat at or under 2000cal/day. I'll still get in my activity but will just go by how I'm FEELING and how my clothes are fitting vs trying to go by just the number on the scale. :bigsmile: Feel free to add me, too!!!

    CW (as of this morning): 174
    GW (for NYD): 166-168
    UGW: 152-155
