    Yep, that's the right attitude! And there's going to be tough days but pull through it sooner than later... instead of "well my day is already screwed, might as well keep eating junk"

    I loved this one thing my friend told me. When you drop your phone, do you pick it up or do you continue to smash it?

    Well I pick it up of course.

    So do the same thing when you screw up your diet, or don't work out, just pick it up, forgive yourself and carry on!!!

    This is what I definitely need to take to heart. Thank you for posting it. I know it but I need to remind myself of this one often.

    Welcome everyone and hopefully I did not miss anyone. To stay fully accountable, my personal plan is post a status of whether or not I ate less than or equal my daily calories + workout calories. Anyone in the group doing 1,200 calories per day other than myself? Believe me when I say that I am happy for you if you don't need to go that low. But just checking to see if I am alone on that front. Let's do this everyone. Now Go Win!

    Thanks for including me.

    My calories are about 1,400 per day....although I work on a weekly average. Basically, I want to stay under 10,000 calories per week.

    I lift four times per week. I cardio only one time per week.

    To succeed at this, I am going to have to UP my daily water intake, ELIMINATE my after-supper snacking, and EAT only 2/3 of my plate for lunch and supper. (I skip breakfast everyday.)

    Hi Beeps2011. Your calorie limit is not too far from mine considering sometimes my workout puts me at that amount. I recently started omitted breakfast in that I drink a green smoothie that's averages only 50 calories. This is really what I call my daily medicine (spinach, cucumber, celery, and 1/2 apple). I try to have it every week day. I digressed. I'm glad that I might be able to check in with you on staying at my limit on those tough days. Lifting 4 days a week that spells "sexy". :-)

    Catwoman... I guess you give us that solid number 10. This should be perfect number to be able to keep up with.

    I did alternating walking and running on the treadmill. Still just getting into fitness but I surpassed the goal I set for myself! My goal is 1400 a day on here but I aim for less. My biggest problem is drinking, I take in way too many calories that way

    Count me in for this goal! I have a lot more to loose but I take it in small "bite sized" chunks lol, setting smaller more manageable goals along my road to success. Feel free to add me, I am always here to give encouragement, log everything and really try hard to stay focused. Let's do this!!!

    Just finished my 25 minute brisk walk at work. MFP show 125 calories but I will count 100 to eat back if needed. Now I will have my lean green morning smoothie for measly 77 calories. Now Go Win!

    Imcginley02, how I wish I could drink for you and you could maybe eat dessert for me. I drink maybe once a quarter and sometimes maybe only once or twice a year. Nothing at all against it as I just forget that I can take a drink as it almost just doesn't occur to me. LOL. But sweets... that's another story. If I could get away with it, I would eat "too much of it" every day. LOL

    Sounds like a great group for me. I really started my MFP journey on Halloween. I'm going on vacation at the end of January and I'd love to lose another 10 or 15 before I go! A motivating group would definitely help! Can I join you too??

    Haha I can handle myself with sweets but I'm really tempted by a nice old fashioned or rye and bitters on the rocks after work! I get free bottles of great whisky, gin, and vodka from my job. How I wish they were calorie free lol!
