    what am I doing to lose weight?

    Thats a good question. I'd love to hear what everyone has to say. :) May help some one.

    My plan is to vary my calories but keep it low enoug to lose weight. Today my goal was 1300 and tomorrow my goal will be 1800. I'm trying to keep my body guessing. lol So far its working! :) I have also started drinking more water and eating more fiber. That helps keep me full.

    Sounds like a great plan maybe I need to try it!!!

    Congrats to this week winners!!

    How do you all take the focus from the scale because for me it seem like I am losing inches far faster than weight?

    well I took a peak at the scale today, and it hesitated at 199.9 before it went to 200.1. So I am doing a happy dance. :laugh: I am hoping I can get below 199.9 for Sat weigh in.
    I now have some extra motivation to get an extra workout in, and eat right. sooooooooooo close to oneder land.

    I'm happy with it! Over half way to 10 pounds with more then half way to go. I started running again and I started a new job this week so that's all messed up some habits, but I think it's going pretty good.

    I don't know that I will weigh in this week. First, I've had an AWFUL week. I always do this. I eat healthy and then my work life gets out of control and then I eat junk. Not only that....my sodium at last night's Olive Garden dinner was OUT OF CONTROL! Seriously, you would not BELIEVE how much sodium is in that stuff...never mind the calorie count. :mad: I woke up this morning and everything was puffy. So lots of water for me today and if I can get the swelling to go down I'll weigh in before the chart goes up. If not, I'll just do it next week.

    Off to Zumba! :bigsmile:
