Starting Weight: 193lbs

Week 1: 192.8 (-.2lbs)
Week 2: 190.5 (-2.3lbs)

Total loss: -2.5lbs


Very happy with this week's loss! I owe most all of it to my new FitBit, which reminds me when I'm being a lump and when it's time to get up and move (and takes away my calories if I don't!).

    Well done! My fit bit one is now my new best friend! It serves as a constant reminder of my need to pay attention to what and how I eat; MFP drives it home with me logging EVERYTHING! BTW, do you, [or anyone] know what is means to have "earned' extra calories in MFP which thereby increases my daily calorie budget? For example, my daily goal is at 1350 calories. If my budget jumps to say 1550, is it saying I should consume more calories? It is confusing for me.

    Thanks to all. Take care!

    Hi Tom!

    I have a Garmin Vivoactive not a fit bit so I am not much help regarding the Fitbit. When I exercise I get added calories back to my daily calorie bank. I don't like to use them though. These fitness trackers are a great way to keep us accountable aren't they? Anyways, good luck to you.

    Hey Tom! It means that, because you've exercised and burnt up a handful of calories, you indeed DO earn "extra calories" if you need them or you want them! Most people carry on as usual and do not use the extra calories, because it will help you lose weight quicker. However, it's awfully helpful when you exercise on the day of a special occasion dinner: 1350 calories can turn into 1900!! You can choose to eat on those extra calories, or don't -- the one caveat is, you cannot save them. Use or don't use them today, but tomorrow they are gone!

    Challenge Starting Weight 204.9
    Week 1: 203.1 (-1.8)
    Week 2: 200.5 (-2.6)

    Total Loss 4.4

    I weighed in 1 day early this week because I had a doctor's apt this morning. I'm so happy. As of today I have lost a total of 85.4lbs. And today the doctor says no more diabetic meds...no more cholesterol meds...and drastically reduced hypertension medication with possible removal within the next few weeks. And I'm almost at ONEDERLAND! Today is a good day!

    That is SO FANTASTIC that you're off your diabetic AND cholesterol meds!! You are completely transforming yourself!! AND you're just a half pound away from being under 200 pounds -- this is SUCH an accomplishment!!! I'm staggered and amazed, and I can't wait to see how you take this to completion! I'm grabbing the popcorn (so to speak) and sitting back to watch!! ;)
