    Last Sunday I was 141.7, today I am 139.5! Dropped 2 pounds. I have upped my exercise and eaten 1200+ calories a day. This week I am abroad competing in a tennis competition, its going to be a challenge keeping my intake low as they give you food so I don't expect a loss this week. Maintaining would be awesome!

    Weigh in Today

    In the last couple of weeks i have been fluctuating between 160 and 158 due to me over eating on the weekend and trying to bounce back during the week. I finally am where I was Friday because I actually watched what I was eating this weekend, with that said.....

    Sw: 160

    Tw: 158

    Every night I come home tired from work, take a rest, have a light dinner, get tempted to fall asleep in front of the TV but finally get up to the fitness club for my 45 min workout and thanks to that usually finish about 400 to 500 cal under goal which is already very low at 1500. However I am asking myself if I am too aggressive ?

    Just signed up today. If you ask friends to join can you see their weight in their profile. I have a friend who wants to do it with me but doesn't want to show her weight. Thanks, from a newbie

    No it does not show. You cose your own settings and sticker like in my signature. I chose one to show my weight and target weight, but most people choose one that just shows how many pounds they want to loose, some chose no sticker and show nothing.

    However for me the pressure to keep up is much higher with sticker and most important with friends showing their effort.

    Hi everyone can join. I recommend you pick a few of us to add as your friends to receive automatic updates about our daily activities. Very motivating not to skip excercises or eat too much food ;-) works for me. At least add Dave as our coach.

    Never to late to get motivated to lose weight. So just join in and work with us. We are all excited to receive post of encouragement from time to time.

    We are only 6 days from half way so just adjust your goal. Make your goals something that will strech you but that is attainable.

    Look forward to hearing from everyone soon.

    I think I lost another .5 lbs overnight but I won't be logging it till the scale says 212. Very excited about this :)

    FWIW, I have a very accurate bathroom scale - it's made by a German company Soehnle and it's awesome. I was plateaued in April due to a bad inaccurate scale, so this new accurate scale motivated me a lot. I manually reduced my daily cals to 1300 max from 1350. And now I'm losing about .5 a day.

    Work hard today my friends try to get in a good calorie burn and resist any temptation to go over your calorie goal for today.

    MFP's 5 week weight estimate, if I do what I did yesterday will be 228. I wonder how close to that I can come.
    I am thinking about starting a new challenge, "Hit your 5 week estimate" but not until we finish May's 10 pound challenge

    Just curious what does you 5 week estimate say and does it motivate you or not?
    mine says I will be 165 in 5weeks :-)
