    Love that city. We were there over the Thanksgiving holiday and got to eat at a pizzarie down on the dock. It is so beautiful at night and day there. But tooooo busy of a city for me. Love to visit but wouldn't want to live there!
    Had a wonderful time with my 4 grandchildren that came up while parents had a mini honeymoon after 2 years of marriage. We had a blast but I did go off my program. I was so busy so I might have consumed many extra calories anyway!!! :tongue: :smile: I forgot how busy 4 children can keep you!
    It was so worth it though.

    I am back on track and have accepted the challenge. I will even log in any "tastes of food" this week. Hopefully there will be none but I do love to taste my homemade meals when cooking to make sure I have it flavored nicely. :blushing:

    Hey everyone! I am back home after my wonderful weekend trip! Anyway, I haven't been able to read all of the messages, but I did see that there was some confusion about the new Challenge. Each challenge is a personal challenge for you, therefore it is okay if the challenge isn't comparable for everyone. I want you to make your calorie goal, if you exercise, EVEN better, I want you to focus on eating healthy, and staying within your calorie range. That's it... it is actually a rather simple challenge, but the hard part is EATING HEALTHY. How did we put on all this weight? not by eating healthy! hahaha so simply focus on your calorie range, workout, get your water and watch the weight drop.

    What I want you to report is your total calories consumed for the day/over your goal
    For example today I have had 500/1200 if I were to workout and burn 500 calories my new total would be 500/1700 calories... everyone understand?

    Remember weigh in is on Friday! I will post again once I have everyone's totals logged! Keep up the amazing work everyone! You are all doing great!

    Okay, so can I just say, this was the worst weekend for tracking food for me ever. Confession time . . . My husband took me out for Valentine's Day, which was wonderful! I did a pretty good job of watching my portions, but it turns out that the restaurant we went to doesn't post or provide any nutritional info -- bummer. My dad was also in town for a visit, so I got out of the food tracking mode for a few days. Today was especially bad as I caved to graham cracker and icing cookie treats with my kids. I haven't had those since I was in college -- and trust me, that was a while ago :wink: Anyway, thanks for letting me confess. Tomorrow I'll be back on a somewhat normal routine and it WILL be better.

    You all are doing great on your calories, so keep up the excellent work!

    Question for everyone.

    I am logging my food and I noticed that you guys only have to eat like 1500 calories a day. Mine is saying I should be eating close to 2300 and I wondered how. 2300 seems like so much to eat in one day and i dont know how to do it. How did you guys get your calories down so low?

    MAN I AM BUMMED!!! I realized this morning that I had forgotten to log something yesterday :grumble: and when I did, I had gone over my calories!!!:sad:

    So correcting yesterday's numbers:
    Mon 2/16 1369/1360

    Yeah, yeah, I know it's only 9 calories, but I blew the challenge on an accident!:noway:

    Pinkable Love, You might need to reassess your goals. By putting in your height, weight and your weekly weight loss goal, the website determines how many calories you should eat each day. Like my baseline is 1360. However, everytime you exercise, that number increases because you EARN extra calories when you burn them through exercise. Hope that helps!:wink:

    Sorry I have been MIA for the last week. I had a crazy busy week last week with promotion testing and lots of other craziness! I also have a confession to make. Last week I found out that they were starting the basewide biggest loser contest today and I let myself completely fall off the wagon and eat like a PIG all week just too boost my starting number. Even though I knew what I was doing I was very annoyed to see that number this morning. I was at 212. (Although the does account for a VERY VERY full bladder full of about 40 oz of water too.) After spin I weighed in at 210. Normally I wouldn't have been tempted to stray, but the prize is a Wii System and a Wii Fit. I just want those SOOO badly. Well, here is to being back on track and HIGHLY motivated. :drinker:
