I'm glad to have found this post! Found out I was expecting a few weeks ago (1st) and at first was dismayed that weight loss would halt, but I am definitely planning on tracking, etc. to try and keep myself healthy over the next weeks and months and then it will hopefully help get back down to where I was (and lower) once…

Weekly Goal: 2500 (OK, it was 1500 but I've now exceeded that so I'm upping to 2500) Mon: 400 - walking dog, hiking, chasing around a 4 year old Tues: 300 - working out with trainer Weds: 250 - dog walk Thurs: 532 - dog walk, elliptical, working out with trainer Fri: 100 - dog walk Sat: Sun: total burned: 1582 To Go: 918

Weekly Goal: 1500 Mon: 400 - walking dog, hiking, chasing around a 4 year old Tues: 300 - working out with trainer Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 700 Left to go: 800

Ok... this is my first week and I don't know if I can come close to 3,500. I am going to realistically set my goal at 1,500 this week and hope to surpass it!

This is right on... looking at your food diary, there are little to no fruits, veggies, etc. Our bodies are not designed to process artificial stuff, preservatives, high levels of processed carbs/sugars, etc so sure you might be "technically" under your calorie goal but you are not feeding your body. I am not trying to be…

I do HIIT 2 times a week on the treadmill, med 2 times a week on the elliptical and low most of the other days (leisurely walks with the dog, that kind of thing). Thank you!

Wow! It has seriously never occurred to me to EAT MORE! You have all just made my day ;) I am going to try and up the cals over the next 3-4 weeks and see what happens. Our CSA is starting next week so the timing is perfect!

I get this all the time - it used to annoy me but I've learned that these people are just self conscious about what they are ordering for themselves. I usually ignore it, it's not their business what or why I eat certain things. If they really push me I pull out the gross FAT picture of myself that I keep in my phone. Good…
