    Hi there! Just checking in. I've been doing the P90X lean program for 3 days (today is day 4), and tracking my food. My weight is pretty steady, but I can already feel myself firming up, and little changes in my shape. :)
    So, although I love to watch the number on the scale go down, I'm going to keep eating all my calories and exercising.
    It's a new thing for me, as in the past to lose weight, I would totally create a huge deficit. I have always yo-yoed back up further than I was initially. Eating my calories back seems healthier for the long term. :) I'll let you know how it goes.

    Just checking in, lost 3 pounds in the last week and half, But have noticed my cloths are starting to hang off me, tried on winter jacket from last year, and it was way to BIG !!!! What a great feeling to have cloths not fit because they are to big, I have lost 31 lbs since July 2, 2012 and feel so much better. Will make my goal of ten off by Christmas :drinker:

    Lost 3+ pounds since Thursday (Thanksgiving). I need to hustle my bustle and stop going over my calorie limit (1330) and also burn even more if I plan to get to ~157 by Xmas. :)

    I can't believe it but I swore that scale said "264.4" this morning, and I got on it about 10 times in 10 different spots because I couldn't believe it. No, I don't have a tape worm! I just have so much to lose. I have to give a lot of credit to this diet which I LOVE, It may not be for everyone but, it has been great for me! I know, I know it has only been four days, but normally I would have quite or seriously considered quitting by now, but I find with this diet I look forward to the next day. I even found that I enjoy food more. For those who don't know, I am on the IF diet (intermittent fasting), One day I eat normally and the next day I fast eating only 500 cal a day, which I mostly eat rice cakes (45 cal each) and spread them out all day and drink tons of water ( I know it sound like it would be unhealthy, but I talked to my doctor and he said it was actual very good for me as long as I was only fasting for 24 hour at a time and drink lots of water). today was a eat normal day and you would think I would pig out , at least that what I think I would do, but I find that I am more conscience about what I eat and I eat really food. example, ok, before the diet I would eat anything, no, I would eat everything, cookie on the counter, my son's half eaten candy bar, half of cup of soda left over from my husbands dinner, bag of chips while watching TV, everything. Today I had egg sandwich for breakfast, Beacon egg and cheese on a really hard roll, small bag of chips for snack (only eat half the bag) but didn't really think about, lunch small plate of pasta with cheese, salad with dressing and roll , didn't finish my plate, again didn't really mean too and dinner, BBQ pizza , one slice, when I would normally eat three (sad I know) small handful of fries and more salad with croutons and bacon. Didn't once feel deprived or like I was missing out! No craving at all! and believe it or not but I am looking forward to m fasting day, I like feel free from food but not like i will never have it again. I am learning from my fasting days to walk past food, to do things with out eating (watch TV) and finding that It fine, I enjoy the active just as much with out food. I start at 273 lbs and I am only 1.4 lbs away for losing my first 10 lbs! I never imagined it would happen this easy. I know it won't continue to lose at this rate, but even if I wasn't losing weight I am learn to have a better relationship with food and that in its self is good!
    Sorry for the long post, I am just so HAPPY!

    I've lost 1 pound so far and been at this for 5 days! So, I'm quite a newbie. I've done MFP before but NEVER lasted more than 5 days. Now that I'm in the groove of things, it's getting easier. The people on these boards who have stuck with this for so long and lost so much weight are great inspiration.
