Wha???... So, I tend to weigh myself each morning to keep track of how my body is affected by different things. Today I wanted to see that my 201 lb weigh-in from yesterday was going to stick. I was amazed to see that today I weighed in at 200.0 lbs. I guess I can count on the 201.0 from yesterday!! So, this means I've lost 16-17lbs in a month. Is this still water weight coming off?? Sheesh! (No complaints though, of course)0

I also weigh myself everyday. That way when the weight is consistent for a couple days, I know it's really gone! Wow...16-17 in a month is a lot! But...you're right, a lot is probably water weight. But definetely not all of it! Keep up the good work!!:drinker:0 -

yesterday I did really well! I went for two 45 minute bike rides & stayed below calories. This morning I woke up and needed something filling & made a turkey burger haha. I guess i'll do my meals in reverse today
I'm staggering my calorie intake each day. So yesterday was 1,100 calories & i think today i will do 1,500...we'll see how this works out. I'm going to only weigh myself every tuesday morning.
Good luck today team!0 -

Anything different that I should do?0 -

Are you guys actually eating all your exercise calories?? I know that if you haven't been, that may be your problem. Or, you may want to adjust you calories for the day to shock your metabolism into full swing again. Just some ideas...0 -

Good ideas! yes..I have NOOO problem eating my exercise calories..that's for sure hahaha!! I am just hoping to see the scale jump down soon...because I am stuck at the same number week after week! Though this IS the lowest weight I have been in a long time so I do have to say..I don't mind the way I look right now..BUT.... if my scale doesn't start moving soon I may give it a good swift kick to teach it a lesson LOL!0 -

Thanks! i'm not giving up NOW..came this far..certainly not going to throw in the towel..that's for sure0 -
I've had lots of mini meals today...I find that it's hard keeping up with exercise calories. But, I went grocery shopping today and got some good, no I lied, really bland Kashi puff cereal to help fill calories. It's okay when you put in some soy milk & blueberries though! I'm off for another bike ride!
Good luck today everyone!:happy:

Well, I just ordered pizza for supper. Vegetarian whole wheat thin crust so it's really quite good for calories (and yay, they have their nutrition info online so I could make a good choice!). But I did 1250 calories worth of exercise today and at 5:30pm had 1600 calories left that I was supposed to eat!! :noway: I had some a couple of weeks ago too. I honestly would have preferred to have a higher quality supper (I've totally fallen for tasty healthy foods over less favourable options!) but this is decently healthy and a nice little treat I guess. I'm going to have to put some serious thought into my meals throughout the days though and find a way to get more calories in. I ate really well today and had TWO protein smoothies as well. The big difference for me on this has been eliminating nearly all sources of refined sugar. I was having nutella on toast most days in the late afternoon and that alone ate up 300 calories. Well, good night everyone! Lets keep up the good work tomorrow!!0
