    What do you think would be the best? Just doing a calendar week? We can start tomorrow and do Sunday through Saturday?

    So who is up for starting a weekly challenge? I was looking at another forum and they have a challenge of burning 3500 calories a week in workout calories. Anyone here up for that?


    sounds good to me. I need to have a challenge. That would be so awesome!!

    Hi everyone! The best day was earlier this week when I realized "Omg, I only have 199 pounds to lose and not over 200!!" I definitely know about long hauls! LOL I started at 360 and on Thursday I weighed in at 349. When I get to 340, I'm getting a pedicure! :-D Good luck to everyone!!!

    Edited to add: Oh, and my goal is 150. :)


    Welcome!!!!!

    Okay so I totally blew it for yesterday but yesterday was yesterday and I will not sit here and dwell on it. Today is another day. I got on the scales this morning to see if I messed things up yesterday and I was down 3.8 pounds!!!!!!! I wasn't going to weigh until Monday and would enter the weight then but I was so excited I entered it and I will have my next weigh in on January 24, 2011.

    Hi Laura, I'm Mollie. I'm new to the site but love it! I'm shooting to loose 200+ lbs. I started with a trainer in Oct. and am now really focused on making the commitment to good food choices and exercise. :) I'd be happy to support and encourage you and would love to have a friend on the site doing the same for me. It sounds like you have a great plan and attitude. Here's hoping we all have great success!
    Still haven't figured out the ticker.
    Mollie :)

    Just wanted to drop in and say hello! Congrats to everyone for staying the course. Even if you haven't seen a loss the fact that you keep going instead of giving up says so much about everyone of us! Keep at it everyone we can do it!!

    P.S. I would totally be up for a challenge, just let me know!

    For the exercise challenge: How about we each log our exercise calories in daily. For example:

    Sunday: 3500-400=3100 to go
    Monday: 3100-500=2600 to go
    Tuesday: 2600-700=1900 to go
    etc.

    How does that sound?

    Wow I was just sitting down to watch some t.v and realized I didn't log any of my food today or log in at all. I spent the day cleaning & going through closets. Ugh, not my idea of a good time that's for sure. I stayed under my calorie goal for today, but I made some really bad choices. I actually kind of feel yucky now. Lesson learned. Hope everyone had a great day. Oh and I am good with entering our exercise calories the way you showed it. No exercise for me today but tomorrow is a running day. I'll check in tomorrow.

    Happy losing,
    Staci

    Hi Laura,

    I just wanted to say that I think it's admirable - what you're doing. You've taken a very important step in just being here and if you stay focused, you will - for certain- reach your goals. I wish you so much luck!

    Hope you feel better, Laura!

    Today was supposed to be my day off from exercise but felt I needed to get something in since I didn't do too hot with lunch this afternoon. My meal wasn't bad but we had chips and queso and salsa for an appetizer. So I guess I will start my calorie count today.

    Sunday: 3500-671=2829 to go
