    I burned off 500 calories at the gym, awesome, got all of the rest of my water finished (yay), but that was all.

    In other news: spaghetti squash, where have you been all my life?


    I had spaghetti squash last night with homemade meatballs and fresh marinara! Yum-O!!!

    It's Wednesday! I have to go out of town tomorrow, counting on Applebees under 500 calorie dinners to save me tomorrow. I generally eat ok when I go out of town, but without me cooking the meal myself - I don't really trust what's in it. The other thing is that my husband travels with me (yay!) but he likes to snack (boo!) we bring trail mix and jerkey, but he usually grabs some candy or chips when we stop. I am going to challenge myself not to "munch" on the drive. If I decide to have a snack, I'll have just one portion - just once. The drive is only 5 hours, I should be good if I have lunch before and dinner when we get there.

    Oh that sounds great! I may go about it differently though. I'm on P90X right now, and it seems to be working well. But your plan should definitely work for you. Are there going to be weekly check-ins?

    i'm so in...I don't know what week I'm on because I've always been working out but I just started cutting my calories. but 25 lbs by summer was one of my goals and that would put me at around 130...It's on...

    Now i'm praying i just don't get stuck!

    I'll join too. I'm a slow loser if you know what I mean but this gives me more accountability to stay on track and meet my goal. 30 pounds if my first goal so 25 by July would be great. After my first 30 I want to lose another 30 over the next year or so. Slow and steady... Glad to join the group. Right now my plan is: Eat within my calorie allowance, balance my carb intake over the day, exercise at least 4 times per week for 45 to 60 minutes, drink 8 glasses of water daily. I'm also setting monthly walking goals with the SWaT walking group. My goal is 45 miles for February. :smile:

    Woo hoo!!! What a great group of losers, lol!!

    Talking about weigh ins.......how does everyone feel about an end of the week weigh in? I drink alcohol on the weekend and tend to consume all of my calories - and usually take Sat. or Sun off of exercise, so I would like to weigh on Friday or so.........anyone, anyone?

    I'm in as well. I'm trying to lose 20 more pounds before June 1st. I just started this last week things are going well so far. Mainly watching my caloric intake. I've found i'm not eating near as much as i use to.

    Glad to hear you got back on track - that's all that matters in the end :) Last night I ate too many chips, but I paid for it with my workout for today! I don't enjoy GOING to the gym, but once I'm there I try and make it count.

    Not sure about everyone else but I weigh in on a Monday morning so here goes...

    SW: 160.3 (72.7kg)
    Week 1: 157.2 (71.3kg) - loss of 3lb
    Week 2: 156.08 (70.8kg) - loss of 1 lb

    Total loss - 4lb

    Only 1lb this week so not great but still a loss so that's good. If I lost 1lb each week it would take 24 weeks to get to my goal weight which would be the 25 July. I would still be happy with that.

    How did everyone do with Superbowl yesterday? I did ok, just ok. Drank a little too much so my head hurts this morning - so I am totally unmotivated to workout UGH. The food we ate was ok, made it as low-fat, low calorie as I could - but honestly wish we would have just had a normal dinner instead of snacking on cheese, crackers and bread all day.

    I weighed in this morning, still @ 203 so at least no gain.

    Starting weight 209
    CW 203
    1st goal weight 180
    2nd goal weight 160
    we'll see after that..........
