I am SO excited, I haven't been this weight in at least 5 years. Ready to say goodbye to the 200's and never look back!
I know the feeling. Much like you, I'm so close to hitting the magical Onederland that I can barely contain myself. If I keep losing at the rate I have been the past couple of weeks I may just make it there before the end of the month.0 -

Not a bad week, I def could have done better tho, but a loss it still a loss! Last wed I made it down to 223.6 and kept it there till friday, but then went home and had takeout, and too many sweeties the next day! Was up to 225 on monday, but eating well yesterday has brought that down I really want a great weigh in next week, so I'm planning to drink alot of water and eat better/less sweets this week. Water is my goal. I've had 5 pint glasses of it today + 2 cans of diet coke on top of that, I'm constantly peeing...0 -

Sooo disappointed to not be under 200 yet this week!!! (Esp as for a couple of days at the beginning of the week I was!!!) But had a really stressful week so perhaps those hormones don't help???:ohwell:
Never mind suppose will accept half a pound!!! Perhaps it's also cos I started the C25k this week???0 -

This week was once again super frustrating with no loss. I'm staying right around my calorie goals, working out, and drinking a lot of water. I don't know why I can't lose anything. I guess I have to just keep at it.0 -
For those that can't get the scale to budge... I think this site is interesting.
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
Especially about the zig-zagging of calories. Also, I've read on MFP, that our bodies really like to hold on to fat when we're stressed and if we are not getting a good nights rest.0 -

Well that is better than last week.
I am frustrated though because I’ve been eating the same and working out more. But my weight loss seems to be slowing down and I am only half way to my goal.0 -

Interesting. That website says that I should be aiming for 1600 calories for a healthy weight loss and 1300 for extreme weight loss. I wonder if I should be increasing my calories? Any ideas or suggestions?0 -

I think you should go with the numbers MFP gives you but try zip-zagging if the scale isn't moving. And read up on here about eating back exercise calories. Here is what one person said...
"Eating Exercise Calories?
3 months ago by NoAdditives
A big part of it depends on what your daily calorie goal is. You don't want to eat fewer than 1200 net calories. So if your calorie goal is set at 1200 and you exercise you need to eat those calories back. Otherwise you risk eating to little and sending your body into starvation mode. However, if you have a higher daily calorie goal, like 1500, and you only burn 200-300 calories from exercise, you don't need to eat those calories if you don't want to."
Here's another... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/61706-guide-to-calorie-deficits0 -
Blah- I missed weigh-in and cannot get the scale to drop! I guess I'll have to kick it into gear and work harder this week!!
