    That is a good way to think of it.
    So, for today, I did good. I stayed under calories and threw in some extra time on the wii active.

    Good morning! I'm down one pound for today's weigh-in, which is awesome cuz yesterday I was feeling bloated and crappy and thought for sure the weight was creeping back on.

    But I drank a TON of water, and today feel great! I gotta remember to always have water at my desk during the day....

    I have the same issue. I never drink my water because it's not right at hand while I'm trying to work!! I need to get into the habit of pausing and refilling my water cup!!

    KC what is wii active like?
    i love the step on wii fitness and doing marching bowling easy things really but great fun i bought wii active ages ago at a bargain price but havent tried it yet i kinda stick to what i like exercise and avoid new things so id love to know what its like

    I like the wii active--you have a personal trainer that you follow and they encourage you as you go through the workout, as well as call you out when it think that you didn't put in full effort. I have never not gotten a good workout from it...I only have two dislikes for it: one, the running portions. You run in place for them, and that bothers my ankles. two, the actual wii sensor--sometimes it doesn't pick up your motions correctly (too slow, delayed, etc) and so you don't get into a regular rythm for the exercises.

    overall though, it is pretty good.

    Hiiii, I go by JD to friends, I currently weight 228 lbs and I'd like to be down at least 50-60 lbs by summer. My parents, my sister and me are going to Florida on July 10th for two weeks. We've been once before, but it was 11 years ago and I was only 8. This time things are so different, I dont want to be too fat for the rides!

    Nothing bizarre really, but I did walk right by Susan Lucci in New York once in 2008, she was hiding behind bodyguards. Closest to a celebrity I've ever been!

    Awesome job! Absolutely, eat those exercise calories.

    I forgot to report in yesterday. I'm at 196 this week for an additional 4.5 lb loss.
    My goal for the summer is basically met, so I'm mixing in strength training and increasing calories.

    I stayed the same this week. Only 1/2lb in the last 3 weeks. I'm not overly worried but it's a bit frustrating. :ohwell:

    Hope I'm not to late to join in on this.
    I'm Amanda. I'm 21 and have an 18 month old daughter. Before pregnancy I weighed 117. I gained FIFTY pounds when I was pregnant. I blame it on the summer BBQs and the fact that my pregnant butt LOVED chicken wings. I currently weigh 153 (I think, scale is broken lol). I'm being ambitious and hoping to lose 25lbs by the beginning of June. I know that it will require a BIG lifestyle change. I'm currently waiting for Turbo Fire to be delivered. Should be here anytime between Monday and Wednesday.

    Something interesting that's happened to me.... At my old job at a golf course, we had Eddie Money come in and I met him. Of course, at the time, I was 15 and had no clue who he was and couldn't have cared less lol.

    Hey everyone. My name is Heather. I just joined MFP this past week. I was looking for an app for my new phone to help me count calories and found this one. I'm just thrilled with it so far. I weigh in for the first time on Monday so I'm looking forward to seeing how strong a start I've had. My ultimate weight loss goal is 40 lbs, and I'm hoping for 20 by this summer

    I don't know if I"ve every done much that was really outlandish, but I did live in Russia for five years which is pretty interesting to most people. Loved it too. Now I'm back in the states and living in Georgia, went back to college recently (in my mid-30's so that's pretty scary) to pursue a degree in Russian. Been putting weight on a litle at a time for some time now, and decided it was time to head off some of the potential health problems that come along with all this extra weight.

    I am Penny and my goal is to lose 33lbs by the summer. I got to meet the Beach Boys when I was in high school. My father had a boutique they walked into in Manchester, UK. He agreed to close the shop for them the the following day so they could shop in peace. He took me along but when I told my friends at school, not many believed me as they were No 1 in the charts at the time. It happened so quickly that later on, it seemed surreal. Wishing everyone success with their goals for the summer :smile:

    Okay, so I did my first weigh in and lost 2 lbs the first week! As my goal is 1 lb a week, I was pretty thrilled with that. I didn't do great on calories some days, but played 4-on-4 volleyball for several hours Friday which pretty much saved my butt (it burned about 1800 calories!). This week's goal, keep within my calorie range every day and don't count on burning extra to get me by.

    Happy hump day everybody!

    I think exercise is turning me into one of those annoying people who wakes up perky. :laugh: A non-scale victory I guess.

    It will be interesting to see what the scale does on Friday, because although I've been good most days, Valentine's Day was unreserved gluttony. Oh well - back on the program the next morning, so hopefully it won't be a big blip.
