I try to eat 1500 calories a day, but sometimes I really blow through it. (I ate 2600 calories last Friday.) On the days that I can stay at 1500, it is because of no junk food and no alcohol. So cereal, fruit, and coffee for breakfast (300 calories); a salad with beans and no oil--just white vinegar, salt and pepper for…

Height: 5'6" Christmas Goal - 149 Current weight - 152.2

Same weight as last week. Going to focus this weekend!

I am modifying my goal. Starting weight - 157 Current Weight - 154 Goal By Christmas - 149 Goal by May 2018 - 140 Ultimate Goal - 127 I have been slacking. I need to get serious again.

I am hovering at 154. I need to eat less. So...I'm going to make the following commitments: 1) I'm going to stop drinking my calories--just water, tea, and black coffee for me. 2) I'm going to stay within my calorie allotment of 1600 calories everyday. 3) I'm going to walk an hour every day. -Deb

My target is 1600, but I have been going way over. Last week was baseball playoffs, family wedding, and travel. Will get back on track today.

Great idea! Starting Weight: 154 Current Weight: 154 Goal Weight (by Christmas): 145 Here we go!!!!

I want to make lifestyle changes that are sustainable because I'm sick of gaining all of the weight back. My tip would be to try to lose one pound a week, so your goal can be to lose 8 pounds in 2 months. A pound is 3500 calories. You have to burn 500 more calories a day than you eat. Shoot for 1600 or 1700 calories a day…

Roasted asparagus--olive oil, salt and pepper. Delish!

It seems that every healthy diet includes a directive to "eat more fruits and vegetables." The USDA says to eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. It is a struggle for me to eat that much, but I try. Also, prepping on Saturday for food to bring to work for the week helps. I make fruit cups for breakfast (that I eat…

I have been doing strength training now for about a year. I travel for work, so I try to get in at least once a week. I go twice a week whenever I can. I have not lost any weight, but I am stronger. I can now lift a cooler full of ice and beer out of my trunk to put on the ground. I used to have to look for a strong guy to…

I picked 127 because it is the lowest I can go and still feel good--not tired. I haven't been 127 since 2005. I got down to 140 in 2013, and then I gained it back. Perhaps 127 is not achievable. Hmm? Height: 5'6" HW: 167lbs CW: 154lbs GW: 127lbs

I take about 2 hours on Sunday, and make my lunch and snacks for the week to take to work. I usually have: Greek yogurt, with nuts and a fruit for breakfast. Salad with a protein for lunch. Snacks--carrot sticks, mozzarella cheese sticks, grape tomatoes, nuts, etc. I just like to have it ready. If I don't have my lunch and…
