    Celia,
    First go to tools and to the tracker section and it should let you get a code for your tracker. Then you'll come back to the message boards and go to the signature part and you can paste it there.

    OK I'm new here and I have a dumb question. How do you lose 2 lbs in 1 week. ? How many calories are you eating? MFP has me at 1200 calories and that seems so low, I don't know how I would cut more. I mean, to the point where I'm questioning if I can have a banana or pear since it's 100 calories.

    If you are at 1200 calories/ day - that setting should allow you to lose 1-2 pounds a week. My suggestion is make sure you eat clean food with little or no processed foods. Keep us updated with your progress!

    I'm in for this too! Hopefully. I'll start from my current weight since I'm a little late and work extra hard.

    I'm 5'7" and my goal will be to his 228 by March 31.

    :laugh: last night I did my workout JUST to eat a few ketchup-chips! My bf arrived from work with a bag of chips (I wasn't really happy, that DOESN'T help my diet!!!) but when he said : We still have so much snow to shovel...
    I decided it was MY JOB and that I really really needed to do that!:laugh:

    I weigh myself everyday that I do the Wii Fit. It keeps me motivated to see it go down just a little bit each day.

    HELLO EVERYONE,

    HAPPY MONDAY!!

    I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN AND SEE HOW EVERYONE IS DOING? HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?? ARE YOU STICKING TO YOUR GOALS AND DRINKING YOUR WATER? HOW ARE YOU FEELING? ENERGIZED OR SLOW POKING IT TODAY??

    I ATE HORRIBLY YESTERDAY AND PAYING FOR IT TODAY! I AM SO TIRED AND DRAGGING, I AM GONNA HAVE TO HIT UP THE GYM MUCH HARDER TODAY SO I CAN FEEL GOOD AGAIN! BLAH....

    Doing alright, but I struggle with breakfast! I try and grab something on my way out the door and eat when I get to work, and I haven't done too bad. Water is never a problem for me.

    TOM just ended, and I had logged a 2 lb gain because of it, but I just re-weighed this morning and I'm down 1.2 from the start of the month. Not a great start, but a loss anyway! Felt great yesterday, but dragging today. Up really early this morning, didn't have much energy for exercise, but did a 30 minute dance/cardio dvd anyway, plus went for a 20 minute walk with a co-worker earlier.

    Hoping for more of a loss on Saturday, my official weigh-in!

    I am over a week late, but I am going to jump in here and see how I can do! I just started on Sunday, so I think that 8-10 pounds could be a realistic goal! I am at 241 and going for 231! Good luck everybody!

    :flowerforyou: Fantomette:

    It is probably just water weight! Drink lots of water and watch your sodium intake! And sometime you can gain a few when your first starting out....its your bodys' way of figuring it out! Keep doing it and you will see a drop soon!!!
