    Great Job Everyone!!!

    251 this morning.... that is a 7lb loss since starting back to MFP last week! I noticed on the days I truly make sure I drink my water and drink a little extra that I do not have trouble staying within my calories... I had one day over and that day I drank only 2 cups of water. So my goal this next week is to stay on top of the H2O!

    I don't really have a secret. Maybe because it was my first week, and just cutting my calories down caused that reaction. I'm sure the weight loss will slow down though and not every week will be like that for me. You should still be proud of your loss!

    Awesome job everyone!

    No secret here either I think it is just because I just started and soon my body will level off and be a lb or two a week.

    For those people that have been doing this a little bit longer how much did you lose your first couple weeks?

    Hugs everyone!

    I hope all of us will be someones inspiration, my little brother is mine. Today has just been a bad day for me in general. I feel hungry and nothing seems to do the trick. If I eat something it makes me hungrier. I also am on here more then facebook now. So my mom is starting to kick my butt on my games but thats ok this is more important.

    Today I had a talk with my husband and let him know that I felt like he wasnt supporting me like I thought he would. So I am hoping it worked. Just a few people know I started the year out on a mission to eat healthier. So I dont have much support so you girls are a big part of my support group.

    So tomorrow weigh in..... ? I am in Washington so it might be later then some of you.

    We are all on the same journey and its comforting to come here and find people who are positive and have an interest in our success. :flowerforyou:

    I am SO PROUD of EVERYONE! I went from 306.4 to 300.8, so that's 5.6 pounds for the first week and brings me tantalizingly close to the 200s. (Thicansxy just leaped right on down to the 200s in one week, so a special hurrah for that accomplishment!)

    Losing 5.6 pounds in a week on 1800 calories and no exercise makes me feel like I was okay in raising the calories a bit, but on the other hand, thicansxy probably ate the least calories and lost that astounding amount... hmmmm... will have to experiment in future weeks, I guess!

    I wish there was some way we could keep a group chart of weigh ins, that would be fun and motivating.

    Way to go thicansxy!!! You did awesome this week. So did everybody else! I am proud of our group accomplishment.

    I am disappointed in myself because I have yet to weigh myself since I started on Monday. I feel like I lost weight too, so I don't know how to log that. My starting weight has not been recorded this time around. I went from my old number I had recorded on MFP, and know I had gained since then. My scale has been crazy (even with changed batteries), so I will be taking my weight at my sister's tomorrow.

    Any suggestions on what to log for weight? I want my ticker to reflect this week's loss. I was under calories all week by about 250 or so. I am aiming for 1850 cals a day and have been getting between 1500-1600.

    Hopeful, I think if you edit your profile you can change your current weight. So you can plug in your start weight. Then when you weigh in at your sister's, you can click check in on the "My Home" tab and put in your new weight.

    Hopeful, here's what I would suggest if you want to monitor weight... if the system will let you do this, that is. Weigh at your sister's tomorrow, and then add 5-6 pounds to that and call that your starting weight. Hopefully you can retroactively make an entry, or edit a previous entry. Does anybody know?

    (I guess Trish may have already answered this above... ?)

    Thanks. I am going to try that today. I just wish I know how much I lost. I know the first week is always the most... Oh well.

    Hi everyone! I am looking forward the weekend when I can really control my food and my exercise. I had an ok week but it was mostly and eye opening exerience. I have one more dangerous meal and that is tonight when I go out on a date with my husband for my birthday dinner. We are going to a new place so I don't know what I will eat of how bad it will be. I am planning on making sure that I get a salad at least to try and fill me up with good stuff and the rest of my meals during the day will be low so I save as many calories as possible.

    I hope everyone has a great day today!!

    Is this new place new to you or a completely new non-franchised chain? If it's a new chain restaurant, you can probably look up their nutritional info for their menu online.
    If they don't have that, then... IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! ENJOY IT!!

    Happy birthday. :)
