    start weight: 236
    current weight:233
    Down: 3 lbs.
    48 More Pounds To Go!!

    This week was a week of adjustments for me. I had to lower my sodium, up my carbs and up my calories. Remove process foods from my healthy lifestyle per my nutritionist. I did it. :smile:

    Oh also I have to take my supplements. BLAH PILLS!! :grumble:

    Other than that I'm good. Staying focus on me. I'm prone to allow life to get in the way of my exercise and get me off track somehow, but I've gotten around that. Get to bed by 10pm and hit the gym by 4:45am. :bigsmile:


    5,000 calories reward: Take myself to the movies on my day off.

    Checking in for week 2. I lost 2 lbs. I am really happy with this loss. I have had a really rough week (temporarily moved to a new state, started a new internship). I was only over my calorie limit 2 days this week, and was not able to do my normal workouts. I did not meet the 3500 challenge this week, but I was able to burn 1200 calories. I still have 3.5 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-holiday weight. My goal for this coming week is to work toward the challenge of 5000 calories, stay within my net calories, and finally be rid of my Holiday gain. Good luck everyone!! Hope everyone has a great week.

    1/7/11 197.5
    1/15/11 195.5
    2 lb loss this week and 4.5 lbs lost so far. Only 45.5 lbs left to go!!

    SW- 246
    Jan 8th- 236.5
    Jan 15- 238

    July 1st GW- 196

    I'm ok with this because it is TOM so I didn't expect to have lost anything. Actually I normally gain around 5 lbs during that time so in my mind this means I am doing really great! I hope everyone stays positive as we move into week 3!

    Apparently, despite being under my calorie goal most days, I had a bad week.. :grumble:
    I actually gained a pound this week..

    SW: 226
    CW: 223
    GW: 165

    Looks like I have a long way to go, and, don't understand what I am doing wrong. If anyone gets a chance, could you look at my food diary and give me a few tips? Thanks!
