    I worked out nearly everday and didn't really go over. Not too sure what's going on but I gained 3 pounds

    Building muscle which weighs more than fat. Keep at it and the weight will go

    So are we doing a weigh in every Sunday? Or what? We should make small daily goals as well I think. If you walk for an hour a day make it an hour and ten minutes. Doing 20 squats make it 30.

    (I can't believe my thyroid has caused this much weight gain..)

    Hi I would like to join the group too please. My starting weight 2 weeks ago was 300. I am now at 290. Goal weight is 150. So I have a long ways to go. But I figured if I count by 20s it won't be so bad.

    Hows everyone doing?? I had a setback while at Epcot Wine/Dine (again- twice this month! ) LOL! But I just couldnt resist fireball shots, sangria, and Canadian beer...and then it was downhill from there...hahahaha! But, its ok. Its not a huge set back. Keep it real and have fun, everyone! :)

    I'm on board with this. I have been working on this for almost a month and have lost 3 lbs. I realized yesterday that I had my job set as active instead of a little active on this site. It really effected my daily calorie goal. After recalibration my calorie goal is 600 less than it was before. Hopefully with the adjustment made I will have the pounds slide off

    i never follow the cal goal they give me it is always way to high i think mine was like 2000 cal.a day changed to 1300 and usually less between 11 and 12 often in the 1000 bur never lower. i also do not weigh my food so my amounts can be off sometimes
