    I've been keeping it at 1200 Calories and 30 minutes of exercise three times a week. And I agree, the writing it down definitely helps. The first 2 days I was over 1200, and once I figured out what I could and couldn't eat, and how to calculate, and write it all down, it came easy. Also, I don't eat after 8 PM. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

    Yeah the food diary is the best reality check!

    I try to save 150 cals. for my night time snack... If I didn't eat after 8pm I would have to go to bed at 8:05! :laugh:

    We must be twins, Skinny-to-be. I started this thing Monday too, and weighed in this morning--lost 4 lbs. I'm keeping it at or under 1200 calories per day, and also have set the 8pm cutoff for food intake. I was a big nighttime eater, and I think that probably has a lot to do with it. I'm doing 30 minutes of Pilates type exercise 3 times per week and I walk at least 2 miles everyday. I have 4 dogs and no fence, so I have a really good motivation for the walking--3 of the 4 dogs are overweight too. So me and the pups, we're in this together.

    Keep up the good work everybody!

    Great job everyone!
    Having a night time snack is ok.. as long as you stay within your calories.

    I agree--it's really eye-opening to see your calorie count. Little snacks throughout the day (popcorn, candy bar mini, etc) really add up! I've gone over my calories a couple of days and it's mostly due to snacks. I work in an office and unhealthy snacks are too accessible! I'm working on it, though.

    wow 4-5 lbs in a week is awesome. But I think that anytime you start a 'new' program the first week is usually the biggest. So don't be disappointed next week when you see a 1-2 lbs loss (and there is nothing wrong with any amount of loss). : )

    Good jobs.

    Its my first week as well but I won't weigh-in until Monday.

    Great job everyone! :flowerforyou:

    You sound like I did back in October; it's amazing how the food journal will impact you, just don't get obsessed! :laugh:

    I too lost several pounds this week, and for the first time in about 5 years am in the 150s!!!! :blushing:
    I usually weigh on Mondays & take my measurements, but something felt different so I thought I'd check (really excited 'cause I'm PMSing too)! :happy:

    Word to the wise, I did well for about a month at 1200 cal + exercise cals. Then I came to a screeching halt. I am now consuming about 14-1600 cal + exercise and the weight is moving again. SO, if you see the same thing happening, mix it up or you will get frustrated! :tongue:

    Thanks to everyone here who has kept me motivated, you made the difference! :flowerforyou:
