I try and post multiple times during the week as it keeps me accountable and I can see my progress. I guess it is up to you...0 -
I usually post 1-2 times a week in the weekly thread, but the bulk of what I post is in my MFP daily summary...... I will absolutely record my results here at the end of the week.. and the 360 minutes of training is any way you can do it... Today I worked out for 47 minutes, yesterday was an hour.... etc.... Good work so far everyone!!!!!!0

Carmen, where is your daily summary thread? Should we check it out? So far so good!!!0

1. Log all foods - DONE!!! Well, have to log dinner tonight but I will.
2. Stay under 1600 - So far so good!!!! I still have 600+ cals for dinner so I think it will be accomplished.
No Super Bowl food for me.
3. 3 glasses of water: no problem for me, I drink about a gallon a day. More than done!!!

not bad...would have liked to have done the last 11 minutes of working out. if you count stuff like cleaning house i made it...but if you only count real workouts, i was short. darn.
also not stoked to NOT lose any...but expected it all the same...and at least i didn't go up next week will most likely be my losing week. the trick is going to be working out now that i feel like i'm getting sick. yuck. 0 -
