Thanks!
I'm 5'4" and MFP has me set at 1200 calories daily with a goal of losing 2 pounds per week. I stay close to that amount every day. I haven't been eating my exercise calories back--I know that is a touchy subject with some people. If I'm hungry, then I eat something. I don't go over 1600 calories. I pretty much walk my dog daily--we try to walk 5 miles but some days are shorter. I also usually do an exercise dvd in the evening (Rockin Body is my favorite but I do Hip Hop Abs sometimes too). I am thinking about starting Insanity in January but I don't know if I'm up to it I am not the healthiest eater but I try. My diary is open to friends so feel free to browse through and you'll see what I mean. I have been trying to drink half my body weight in ounces of water which for me is 14-15 cups. That's pretty much all I've been doing over the last few months. I also tend to give in to my cravings if I need to. It works to get it out of my system so I can move on. I don't do "cheat" days, I just build whatever I want into my calories. If I go too far over one day I may cut back later in the week.You're doing such an awesome job Queen!!! COngrats on all your success. If you dont mind my asking, What have you been doing to achieve such fantastic results? I need a few pointers, I am so far off from my challenge goal.0 -
@ fitanndfab,
You are sooooooo RIGHT! I did the "water before meals" thing and it works! Those pounds fell off! I was like :noway: :drinker:0 -
I passed my October goal!! I'm down to 308.6 :drinker:I WANNA JOIN!!!

GOALS: AUGUST - 321 (lose those 5 pounds i put back on!)
SEPTEMBER- 315
OCTOBER - 309

I missed the first check in so here is a rundown of my weigh-ins:

I really have a lot of trouble with water weight gain. I exercise at least twice a week and try to stay under 1600 cals (I dont always log it in, though). I definitely need to cut back on carbs. Any suggestions would be great!
