Stronger, Better, Faster Challenge August 28

I am on meds for it and have been for 10 years. I'll bump my calories up if you bump yours up! I may try to bump it up tomorrow. I have had a headache today and yesterday and I think it's from not eating enough. Carrie, you're right. What have a got to lose except more pounds? I almost wonder if my pregnancy/miscarriage last month messed things up too. I will probably bump my calories back up to my BMR and go from there. We'll see what happens. I know it will take a couple of weeks to see a difference. Come on Mary! We can do it!
I will keep you guys in my prayers too. We do seem to be going through a lot right now.

I did it. Now, your turn. Oh, I went to 1/2 lb a week.

Oi. I did it Mary. I bumped it up to 1350 cals a day which comes out to about .8 pounds per week. Doesn't sound like enough. My BMR is 1396 so I figure this is pretty close. My husband does not understand why I would eat more to lose weight. I've tried to explain it to him but he doesn't get it. I was going to try to go with 1 1/2 pounds per week but it only went to 1240 which is 40 calories. That's not a big enough difference I don't think. So we will go with what I've got and see what happens. Remember Mary to give it a couple of weeks. It took me two weeks to see a difference the last time I did this.

Oh and I forgot to say that I changed my profile from lightly active to sedentary. I didn't realize that's what it had been on. Not that it would have made a difference. It would have been worse. lol
Here we go! I have 1150 calories to eat for dinner now. :laugh:

Let's make this our rule: take care of ourselves! (that goes for me too. . . )

Hear, hear! :flowerforyou:
