    Hi girls!

    Before I joined MFP I used to weigh myself on Sundays so I could hold myself accountable for the weekend. Since I joined this group I started doing official (meaning I record it) weigh ins Fridays and Sundays. That way I can still post my Friday weight to you guys and hold my self accountable on Sundays for my personal weigh in. Well Sunday I weighed myself and I was at 226.6 (I was at 228.4 Friday). I wasnt overly excited because I had been since Friday and hadnt eaten or drank much so I figured I had an empty belly plus I was dehydrated. I started drinking my water and eating again yesterday and this morning the scale was at 226!!!! I am praying that it stays this way through out the week, my FIRST mini goal is to be 225 by March 31st and thats so cloooose!!! I will then be officially halfway to 200!

    JLB- Good challenge! I think I have slacked on the cardio myself so hopefully the extra work this week will show in my loss!

    I just enjoyed a very yummy bagel for bfast! I dont know who was talking about bagels but I was craving one for over a week, and finally went and got the lowest cal/sodium bagel I could find and fat free cream cheese. It was heavenly!!!:love:

    Have a good day, be back through out the day to stalk you all! :laugh:

    Hello everyone,
    I just wanted to introduce myself and get in on the conversation if I could. My starting weight was 274 lbs. so I am definatly in the over 200 club :) I lost 50 pounds on my own by just watching what I ate and then I sat at 50 lbs lost for WAY too long so I am trying out the fitness pal. At first my caloric intake was set at 1390 and the weight came off the first week, but I actually gained the second week. Now my calories are down to 1200 on the days I don't exercise. I feel like I can't eat much on those days. I am hoping that this works. I have almost 70 pounds more to go to meet my goal weight. That is a lot when it is not coming off as easy any more. Did anyone else have this problem?

    To answer your question, yes I've had the same problem! I started at 270 and hit a wall at 53 pounds lost. I had to start eating more. I was eating 1200 calories a day and not eating any exercise calories. Now I try to eat around 50% of my exercise calories (which puts me around 1350-1450 calories most days). I stayed the same weight for about 3 weeks but about 2 weeks after I started eating more, I started losing weight again. 1.8 pounds week before last and 2.4 pounds last week so eating more definitely seems to be working for me. :smile:

    Hello mlejoy3 it is nice to meet you. I am glad that you decided to check us out. We would be happy to have you as part of our group. But we moved. We move every week because our posts get so long. We are a big group of talkers. I think as far as what you are doing you should eat back some of your exercise calories. Stick with the min. that mfp gives you on the days you do not exercise is a good idea. Now here is our link to the new topic, please join us over there

    Welcome! I would have to agree with JLB. I'm about to increase my calories as well because I hit a plateau at about 38 pounds lost. From what I have read this is what a lot of people have done to get over their plateau. Welcome to the group!

    Nice to see you Renea_Kay ... I too had a bad start already this morning, which makes the rest of the day a challenge. But we can do it! With some exercise and choosing lower cal foods we can make it through today.
    BTW - we are on a new thread now:
