    That's fantastic!! Great work! :)

    I guess it doesn't technically matter what day you weigh in... I've been thinking about weighing in on Fridays so the weekend doesn't derail me LOL

    After several months of being a depressed slacker, I got back on track this week and lost 6 pounds! Super excited to see what I can do over the next few weeks, especially with getting back in some semblance of shape through exercise. I'll be going for a walk/jog in a bit when my breakfast has settled. Can't wait to hit the road!

    Hope you all had a great week. Let's push ourselves and make week 2 awesome!!

    As of today I'm down 4lbs from last Monday. I thought we were weighing in on Mondays, as that's what the chart says. I guess as long as we weigh once a week we're good, right? I might see another half pound gone for tomorrow, so I'll log on the chart tomorrow. I've been a good girl all week, hitting the gym 6 days, burning just at or over 1,000 calories each session, and staying at or under my calorie goal. Oh, and I've been getting in a minimum of 8 glasses of water daily, too! Maybe that's why the weight has jumpstarted back up like this, even though I've been working this program since April. No matter...I'll take it!!

    Congratulations to all of you who are losing, and to those who are trying, and working the program of logging, exercising, and counting calories!! Keep up the hard work, and we'll all be improved come Christmas Day!!

    well after a roller coaster of a week, i'm glad to have lost .2lbs since i weighed in last. I will definitely be pushing harder so I can hopefully break out of the 170's by Christmas. For me, it was just a matter of dealing with school stuff, arguments with the husband, lack of work, and dealing with my child's doctor, plus ankle injury and knee flaring up.

    Good luck to everyone on week 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've decided not to weigh in because it's a trigger for my eating disorders apparently, but I can feel a difference in my body after this week of stricter training and more mindful food choices.

    Whoo!

    Way to go, everyone! I ate some things I shouldn't have over the weekend, but managed not to snack every time I turned around, either. Overall, it was a win. I ate quite well all during the week and avoided all the goodies that I normally eat. I also managed to get my 4 hours of exercise in! Week 1 was a great start for me, and I'm down 1.1 pounds. I'll take it.... More importantly, I'm back on track with my exercise mindset, and much better on the food side. Woohoo! :happy:

    I am up 1.8 since last week, but last week was the first week of me eating more calories. I had upped them by 100 or so, but was STILL under my TDEE by 200! So, I am forging ahead eating more calories, and will get to the gym at least 3 times this week. I know it will take a few weeks to show any kind of loss, so I am not worried. This is an overhaul by Christmas, and my present to me will be a fitter, healthier me on Christmas Day! :smile:

    I didn't lose anything, kinda makes me wander because I upped my calories because of my TDEE.

    I lost 5 lbs this week. I'm a little stunned. I honestly didn't keep up with working out but I did log everything and I was under my calories every day this week. And I majorly increased my water intake.

    Well, I am exactly the same as last week but I'm ok with that for now. I think I'm going to get on your guys schedule since I'm tracking on the spreadsheet, so I'll weigh in again on the 10th and get on the new schedule. Maybe I will have lost something then.

    I've lost about a 1lb down these last few days not great but this is making me so determined.
    Will way in on the 10th yes I need to drink more water but so hard when it's so cold here so I go for coffee or tea instead.
    Trying to focus this week.

    It's been a rough week, and my diet has reflected that. I really need to find some other way to soothe my stress, instead of using junk food! Anyway, I will get my exercise goal in for the week, so that's my bright spot. I'll just have to wipe the food slate clean and start over next week, while not completely pigging out this weekend. :)

    It's been a really difficult week for me but I still managed to lose 2lbs so I can't complain. I've finally managed to incorporate strength training in to my workout regimen so I'm pretty sure those 2pounds were fat not just water weight and lean muscle. I just really need to get my eating habits in check went over my daily calories several times this week :( .
