    Hope you ladies don't mind me jumping in...this seems like a great way to stay accountable!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, if anything too low.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't have one...just joined this thread today.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day surrounded by unhealthy concession treats without splurging.
    What would I have done differently? Paid closer attention and eaten more...was quite a bit under my goal and had an awesome headache going to bed.
    What is today's personal goals? meet macros (esp protein) and reach 20,000 steps


    GW at the end of the Summer 2013 check in? 175

    Any suggesions? Only lost .2 in 4 days. Didn't really do anything different from when I started this 18 days ago where I lost 7.5 in 15 days. I was hoping if I continued doing the same I'd keep on the consistent pace of 2 lbs per week.




    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes! Again stayed within all categories tracked!
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Drank more but still on 8. Only about 4.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Exercised
    What would I have done differently? Special ordered my taco salad to not serve it with shell and sour cream! I could have taken off but didn't!
    What is today's personal goals? MORE WATER! Stay with nutrition goals.

    Eating too few calories can put your body in starvation mode and prevent weight loss. Try staying at or above 1200.
