    i'm in. I probablly won't make it because I only have that much total to lose, cause I am not starting out that heavy, but I sure will try! I am 133

    I have been doing well the past two days, and dropped two pounds to 155, but like the above poster I think it was mainly water weight from the horrible eating this weekend. We are having a work dinner party tonight so I brought my lunch to work and ran two miles on my lunch break. I will be doing Turbo Fire 45 after work and need to squeeze in some abs maybe after the dinner. I hope I can behave at this dinner tonight! They are having jambalaya and I am not a big fan so that should be ok, but we will be having cake because my birthday is this month so I gotta do my best to just take a small slice!

    I did really well at the holiday party luckily! The jambalaya was really good so I had that and some salad, tried some green beans (for the first time and ehhh.. lol), passed on the bread and butter and cheese and crackers. Then I just had a small slice of the fudge ice cream cake for my early bday and had one cookie. This past weekend I would have gone nuts lol, glad to see my motivation back. It was a great party because there were no appetizers or food to pick at, just the meal. I was so glad to see that! And I passed on beer/alcohol because that just makes me eat worse!

    I have had two good days! Since I have been studying non-stop for my finals, I haven't gotten as much exercise as I would have liked, but my calorie intake was very low since I was concentrating too much to stop and eat. Haha. I was also down another two pounds today so thats great. Only 8 pounds to go! =) My current weight is 234.8.

    Aww =( I missed the new list by about 2 minutes.

    Thanks! Yeah it felt good to be able to not obsess over the food. I don't know what was going on with me last week but that was all I could think about-junk food. Eating clean and getting more calories that are good in this week seems to help! My body bugg is already up to 3138 calories burned for the day!

    Yay, you guys are doing great! I weigh everyday, up some on tuesday and back to the same again today. Can't complain though because I sure have been eating crappy and not exercising. I just can not find the time right now for a full work out so I am going to start walking around the work complex 3-4 times a day. Each lap is 7.5 minutes - every little bit helps.

    Echo, where did you get your body bug? Do you like it/

    I got it from Apex and I LOVE it. I use this site to log my calories/exercise but sometimes my burn on the bugg is way higher than here so I go by the bugg instead. It is great to see how much you are really burning. I am so addicted to it, I can barely find time to charge it. I don't want to take it off and miss a calorie burn! lol Plus I was really really overestimating my calories burned using this site. Like two hundred-three hundred over. So it is good to have a better number now.

    Hi,

    Are you saying that MFP is giving us incorrect numbers in calories burned? Thanks!!

    Hi,

    I'm not sure I understand your question?

    But yes, sometimes MFP is off on their numbers. Most accurate way to know your number of calories burned is if you use a heart rate monitor or HRM.....
  • I'M IN!!!!...my weigh day is tomorrow so i'll post my starting weight in the morning..what a GREAT idea!!!
  • OK...I am in too! Not an easy task with only 17 days..but will put my very best effort in!! Good Luck everyone!:smile:

    I've been having a hard time the last few days finding time to do a good workout! I've been trying to make up for it by going for a few short walks, but I really need time for a good one! I'm going to try to head out tonight after my daughter's Christmas concert.
