I don't know about where you live but February is cold and miserable in Detroit, Michigan USA.
I do not know if that is part of the problem (needing warm comfort food) but I was over my calorie goal 4 times last week and I just need a uncomplicated 7 day challenge. Simply stay the hell below my calorie goal for 7 frikkin' days. Anyone with me?

    Me too! I was doing so well, but this week I exceeded calorie range by several hundred on many days. I made some crap choices too. This week I'm gonna get back on track. I know what I did wrong...no advanced Planning for lunches, and late dinners eating out. That's just silly, and a lifestyle from my past. Game on!!

    Same here! I went over by 1,901 calories this week...really? UGH! I already posted as my status that my goal was to do better this week. Let's check-in daily and keep each other motivated to remain within our daily calories;)

    Luckly I have never been over my calorie goal but I think its because if I start to get close I just force myself to get some exercise in to help cushion. It has worked for me so far!

    I'm in! It's only my 3rd day here, and I need a nice simple challenge to get me started. I've been within for the past 2 days, so here's hoping I can keep it up!

    Okay, I'm with you, too. I've been very busy at work, and it's cut into my exercise time. I hate cutting back on calories, but I don't want to lose conquered ground. I'm in!

    You had me at HELL. Count me in, but one thing-Im trying to burn 1000 calories most days this week-how much more than my 1300 should I adjust so I can stay @/under goal? Check in to this post daily? Love this!

    I am sooooo in!!! I lost focus on nutrition this week, and even though I was within calorie goal, some days it was just plain crap! I am going to do better this week, and set myself up for a great rest of the month!!!

    I'm in! I got in a car accident almost a week ago and my injury has stopped me from exercising so it's been hard to stick to my calorie goal, but this will help me!

    I am in. It's mid-summer here but I have been having far to many treat foods. I had decided to commit to a treat free 5 days so this will be a good help to me thanks
