    Question for everyone.

    I am logging my food and I noticed that you guys only have to eat like 1500 calories a day. Mine is saying I should be eating close to 2300 and I wondered how. 2300 seems like so much to eat in one day and i dont know how to do it. How did you guys get your calories down so low?

    MAN I AM BUMMED!!! I realized this morning that I had forgotten to log something yesterday :grumble: and when I did, I had gone over my calories!!!:sad:

    So correcting yesterday's numbers:
    Mon 2/16 1369/1360

    Yeah, yeah, I know it's only 9 calories, but I blew the challenge on an accident!:noway:

    Pinkable Love, You might need to reassess your goals. By putting in your height, weight and your weekly weight loss goal, the website determines how many calories you should eat each day. Like my baseline is 1360. However, everytime you exercise, that number increases because you EARN extra calories when you burn them through exercise. Hope that helps!:wink:

    Sorry I have been MIA for the last week. I had a crazy busy week last week with promotion testing and lots of other craziness! I also have a confession to make. Last week I found out that they were starting the basewide biggest loser contest today and I let myself completely fall off the wagon and eat like a PIG all week just too boost my starting number. Even though I knew what I was doing I was very annoyed to see that number this morning. I was at 212. (Although the does account for a VERY VERY full bladder full of about 40 oz of water too.) After spin I weighed in at 210. Normally I wouldn't have been tempted to stray, but the prize is a Wii System and a Wii Fit. I just want those SOOO badly. Well, here is to being back on track and HIGHLY motivated. :drinker:

    Today was much better! I got back into my routine after falling off the wagon over the weekend and had a super workout.

    good morning everyone, I haven't been checking in daily on the message boards...very busy week at school.. but I have been keeping track of everything. I stayed under my calorie allotment every day, I did stuggle to stay under on sugar and protein several days. When I eat fruit (which I love) it throws off the sugar number... one banana takes over half my allowance..... oh well, could be worse, could be chocolate throwing it off!!

    Weigh in this morning - 211.5 (down 4.5 this week... finally a good change!)

    Have an awesome weekend everyone and keep up the great work!

    how is your eating? if your eating right than just switch it up a little start eating a few hundred calories more thats what they said on biggest loser and it worked
    i would try it for a week
    i was the same by the way i had only lost 2 pounds since starting it and i didn't eat quite right on the weekends but still a ton better than when i wasn't counting my calories who knows how many calories i would pack away i can't even imagine but this week for the first few days (on accident) i ate about 200 more calories than normal and i lost almost 2 pounds this week alone so you should try it for a week and see if it works for you too

    good luck!:happy:

    Well, I am plesently surprised with my weigh in today. 206.5, not to shabby considering what I did to myself last weekend! Hope everyone has a great day. I am hoping for a good week next week but I am going on a business trip to a conference with breakfast/lunch/snacks catered. I got a room with a full kitchen and the hotel has a gym, so hopefully I can at least break even!!

    Here is my log since jumping back on track Tuesday.

    Tues- 1810/2020

    Ajasak: Hey! I think I know what has happened. Your body has gotten used to your routine. it KNOWS you are going to workout for 65 minutes mon-friday. You definately should do some weight training or try some other cardio machines. You may have also plateau'd, which is no fun either! When someone hits a plateau it takes a lot of power to not "fall off the wagon" so to speak. Anyway, when you plateau, follow Jocelyn's advice and switch up your eating. You may need to eat more calories ( i know weird huh) to "shock" your body into losing again.

    So switch up your food and workouts and you will be back to burning in no time.

    Hope that helps!

    My weigh in today is 220.6....but I can't remember what I was last week off the top of my head.

    I was pretty close on my calories every day except the weekend where I completely blew it - but I am still down in weight so I am trying not to dwell on it .

    That was me for the previous 2 weeks. I made myself eat more of my exercise calories and take a day off a week to rest... this week I had a nice loss. Check your inches and hang in there... it evens out over time.

    WARNING:

    If you have not posted anything for the last two weeks, I will be taking you off of the spreadsheet.... We currently have more members not reporting than are reporting :sad:

    Do not give up on yourselves... This next weeks challenge will help you get back into the swing of things again! I will definately be making a new thread this week. Last week was too hard. Now my internet is back up and running smoothly.

    I remained even this week (no gain or loss for me) considering everything I did, I am actually happy! hahaha

    I have to get back to the gym, I miss my little home away from home! hahaha

    AND, I have missed chatting with you all!

    Ultimately I would love to say that my goal for next week would be to lose, but given my trip and everything I am hoping to maintain. So my goal will be 206.5 (would love 205, but probably not realistic!)

    I think you can do it! Will you be walking around much? Just don't go Nutso with food and I think you can hit that 205 goal! Don't think you can't but try and if you don't hit it at least you tried!!

    Where are you going for your trip?
