    Grrrrrrrrr - I failed , but on the upside - I lost about 200grams - I'm armed with a new exercise DVD so next week I should have a better result . :happy:

    I average 1-1.5 kg / week I think, so I'm in by default!

    I didn't quite make it. I lost 1.3lbs, but I'm happy to take that loss. :)

    You should be very proud! You are much closer to your goal weight than I am.. iso it's harder to shift the excess weight. Congrats!

    There's no such thing as late... The idea is to have a PERFECT week. Make the commitment and stick to it to:

    A) walk at least 10,000 steps each day for the whole 7 days
    B) drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, and,
    C) manage your food so that you are close (but not over) your daily allowance

    .....then come back in a week and tell everyone how you did :)

    I am new in myfitnesspal. I lost only 900 gramms last week, although I stay under my calories goal. I would like to go for 1kg this week. I need all the help from older members...:love:

    actually I am not sure if I am doing it right. I have to consume 1200 calories per day. I consume usually 1000 -1100 calories, and there are some days that i gain weight. what am I doing wrong?

    I'm in! Go ahead and add me to your mail string. I'm supposed to be around 1300-1400 cal/day. Often I go over....I suspect this is too low. What do you think?

    Done!!! 1kg is off!!!!!!! Yay! My ticker doesn't show the full amount as I put on 0.5kg about 4 weeks ago and was too depressed to change my ticker, but now that is off plus another 0.5kg! :-)

    I lost 2kg this week. I'm averaging around 1.5, but I stepped up the exercise this week. Feeling great though, stronger and more stamina, so I'm not worried about the speed of loss. Just enjoying it.

    I've got some spare kilos/pounds hanging round. For the next week I will get in the 10,000 steps a day, drink the 8 glasses of water and stay just under my calorie goal. Oh, and I'm going to say goodbye to some of the sweet stuff.

    this has inspired and motivated me because i didnt know 2.2lbs was 1kg! when i lost 2.2lbs+ i wasnt very proud or happy but i should have been, i lost a 1kg bag of sugar - and thats a lot, im in!

    Gary, ive bought a bag of sugar for every 2lb ive lost, just so i can see the difference...then try and lift it:noway:

    This is how my week went......

    1) I walked to work Monday through Friday (roughly 4.5 miles) so went beyond 10,000 steps a day.
    2) I drank 10-11 glasses of water each day, normal intake for me.
    3) Hit my calorie goals, although I ate back most but not all my exercise calories. Just for good measure I kept the chocolate eating under control.

    .....and I didn't lose a thing (in fact up 1/2 kilo) and measurements stayed the same. However I will not give up!!!

    L_oudman... That is disappointing. I think the only difference in what're are doing is that never eat my exercise cals. That enables me to keep at least 1,000 calories a day void between what I eat and what I burn each day (I consume 1,200/day.. And, with exercise, generally burn between 2,200 and 2,600).
