    Good morning everyone,

    Starting weight 12/31/09: 184.4lbs

    1/7/10: 181.6lbs :bigsmile:
    1/14/10: 183.4 (+1.8lbs, TOM eating was kinda bad) :grumble:
    1/21/10: 181.2 :happy:

    Total lost: -3.2lbs (from starting weight)


    I noticed when I eat clean my weight drops :bigsmile: ... I was having a hard time the past week eating right so I've been reading motivational boards, nutrition, etc... to keep informed :smile: . It's been helping alot but don't get me wrong it a daily struggle some days :grumble: .. I think I was getting bored with the same old foods I've been eating so I researched some new healthy recipes I will be trying and change it up weekly. :drinker:

    Last week's weight: 205.8
    Current weight: 206.6 :noway:
    Goal weight: 145

    1/21/10 245.2

    ST Goal weight: 200lbs
    LT Goal weight: 160lbs

    I have lost 9.8lbs since starting on this journey and 1.6lbs since last week, I'll take it! :flowerforyou:

    I have been waaay under eating, I was under 1,000 calories on average so my goal is to eat 1,200 calories this week and not to fall short. What's this week's challenge?!

    Good luck all,

    Cris

    I've got a question. If my BMR is 1614 calories/day and MFP tells me to eat 1200 calories/day to lose 1.2 lbs or so per week, how can that be since the difference between 1614 and 1200 for 7 days doesn't equal even 1 lb per week? I know that when I exercise, I'll burn more, but then MFP tells me to eat those calories. I'm confused.

    Hi all!
    I was out of town for a week and didn't get a chance to weigh in. I was on vacation and didn't have any expectation of weight loss, even though I did exercise (flying always makes me retain water like crazy!)
    Here's my stats for the week:
    12/31- 190 lbs
    1/7- 187 lbs
    1/21- 183 lbs
    Total lost in 2010: 7 lbs

    Goals for the week:
    Eat all 1200 cals + exercise calories
    Exercise at least 4 days
    Get 8 glasses of water intake to take down my water retention from the flight!

    :happy: I am happy to report my 6 pound weight loss this week. I did a Biggest Loser workout and this is the first time in a long time I have seen great results. My starting weight was 207 and after the first week I had gained 2 more pounds. Then this past week, I had to find something that will make me drop the pounds so I did the Biggest Loser workouts (i.e.2 different cardio workouts for 30-45 minutes ea, w/ circuit strength training after the cardio. i did this for 5 days. And of course, I am eating right, and when I grave sweets, I will stick a piece of Extra gum in my mouth. I found myself eating no more than 1200 calories because what I eat fills me up especially when I drink water behind every meal. I also spread out the times I eat, and I do not put anything in my mouth past 7:30pm except water.:smile:

    Current weight is 202
    My goal weight is 150-155

    I will be continuing this regimen until I reach my ideal weight because it works for me.

    Good luck everyone and have a great week!:flowerforyou:
