    I agree! I think it is different for women... there is no way I would loose any weight if I ate back my exercise calories...

    I had been sitting on the last 10 1/2 lbs for 3 weeks and i dropped 2.5lbs on my weigh in today! And you know what i did different? I stopped eating back my calories, this past week only. I had always eaten them back and it took me 2 weeks to drop a lb that way.

    It should take you 2 weeks to drop 1 lb when you don't have much to lose, if you drop more than that most likely a large % was muscle.
    I think having my TOM and nothing moving with the weigh in that week may have carried over to this week.

    Sounds great, I have 30 lbs. to lose, so to lose the first 10-15 would be a great motivator.

    Awesome - let us know your tips and tricks this week for being able to drink you all your water during the week post them.

    For example: Yesterday I went shopping for clean foods and I picked up a jug to keep with me at my desk:

    I would like to join also. I have about 7-8 lbs left to lose before I start working on toning and maintaining. I have been slacking big time and needed to get remotivated. Drinking more water is a great start. Can't wait for more.

    Alright so weigh in when you need but let me know when you do so that I can post results for Tuesday (allows Monday weigh-ins to get thier goals in)

    Here we go for sure!!!

    *PS there are all sorts of tips and tricks, facts and fiction out there - a loss is a loss regardless of the number on the scale so whether your body is ok with dropping .5 lbs or 2 lbs it is all good and you are making progress. Be healthy (and I know you all are) and enjoy

    Im up for the challenge! I have about 8-9 lbs to go :) Im currently doing jillian michaels ripped in 30 since finishing 30 day shred- love it! I have my weight to lose set at .5 lbs per week and I do eat my exercise calories. Seems like its going to take forever to get to goal weight but as long as I continue to see the changes in my body, im trying to convince myself not to worry about scale #'s but id still love to get there! When are we weighing in? I normally weigh on wednesdays. Water water water! ;)

    I have been trying to lose 10 pounds for almost three years now. After I gave birth to my daughter the most I would lose is 5 pounds, after this success I would eat my way back to where I started from! Very frustrating!! Staying motivated and continuing to eat right is my biggest struggle.

    Ok ladies (I don't think we have any gents yet) so far we have 23 committments to shed up to 20 pounds - this is great! I am confident that together we will be able to meet our goals! I am posting your "names" please update with your starting weight, your goal, and your motivation or "prize" for hitting your goal. Just add a simley face beside your name so I know who updated and can track it :happy: I think it would be neat to see how much weight we collectively wish to lose, and to be able to track our progress as individuals and as a team.

When I reach the 10 pound mark (and my neighbor does as well) we are buying a new outfit and going on a double date with the men in our lives *they provide a tun of support when reaching for the chocolate bar* :wink:
