    I exercise around 5 times a week. It is the food that is killing me!

    I hope this is a great start in using this tool!

    Welcome to MFP! :D This site is fantastic for keeping track of how much you consume. I quickly learned vegetables are the way to go to be allowed to eat more with less calories. Hope it helps you out! When I'm committed to tracking everything, it definitely helps me out.

    Thanks! I keep wondering if I can stay under my calorie allotment and stay motivated and exercising.

    I joined MFP a month ago and this is my first post. In the first couple weeks I quickly lost 5 lbs.......then I slacked on the eating a little bit. So far I'm at a total loss of 6 lbs with another 40 or so to go.

    I'll give this challenge a shot.

    Good luck to us! :o)

    I definitely want in on this challenge

    July 23- 183 lbs

    Goal weight 147

    I exercise on average 3times a week, but I recently hired a personal trainer so I'm hoping to reach my goal soon. My biggest problem is laying down after eating and not eating right. I hope to gain some discipline.

    This is great - count me in!

    I work out on an elliptical for 30 minutes x 6 days a week, and monitor what I eat using MFP.

    I wouldn't mind joining your challenge. Have been on MFP for 2 weeks and so far my weight just yoyo's up and down each day. I exercise 5 days a week and am really trying to watch what I eat. Now I have to type in everything, it makes a big difference. Thanks.

    I don't know if you guys eat yoghurt, but I just wanted to share that you can have a lot of Danone Silhouette yoghurt 0% for like next to no calories, and as an added plus, the different flavours all taste amazing!

    I usually do not "eat back calories". The only time I do is if it is a special occasion and we are going out to dinner or something. Otherwise I just snack on veggies if I get hungry at night. Cucumbers with lemon pepper... mmm :)

    I'd like to join also. I would be happy to be at 152 in four weeks, but 150 would be my reach goal. This would put me into the "healthy weight" category on the BMI charts! Somewhere I haven't been for a long time.
