I'm in! 1240 miles for me. May take a long time!

Heather, I too am starting over. I was doing so well a year ago, but then at the beginning of this year I just lost all my motivation. I am determined to get back on track. Wishing you the best of luck! Sending a friend request so we can encourage each other! Kim

I agree with you! Especially if you are looking at this as a lifestyle change and not just a diet (which is what I am doing). There is no way someone can maintain a super low calorie diet for the long term and stay healthy. Thanks for posting!

I would really encourage you to talk to a professional. I just don't think eating 650-800 calories a day is healthy, no matter what your weight is. Especially since you mentioned having an eating disorder before. Good luck!!

I have done it! When I went on my scrapbooking retreat--it was just to much of a hassle to try to do everything on my phone and guess at the calories in the food we were served. I think the key is to not let it derail you. I have let that happen to me. I would have one day that was just a total loss--and let that totally…

Yes, you will still lose weight. I almost always eat my exercise calories--just make sure you stay under the total calories. Good luck!!

So far this week is going well. I am definitely making better choices when it comes to what I eat. This weekend will be a bit of a challenge because I will be at a scrapbooking retreat. The meals are provided--so I wont have a huge choice of what I can eat. But, I will be mindful of portion sizes and plan on taking healthy…

Hope it isn't too late to join! Where do I put my starting weight in?

I weighed in this morning and was still at 197.5 (lost nothing this week). I am actually pleasantly surprised that I did not gain. It is the week before TOM and I usually gain, plus my eating wasn't the best (along with not exercising most days this week). But am refocusing and not giving up!! I know that next week's weigh…

I weighed in this morning and lost 3.5 lbs!! What a motiviation for me to be good this weekend (and exercise this weekend!!). 201 (SW), 197.5 (CW), 67.5 (pounds to go)

A Friday weigh in would be fine with me. Whatever the group wants. I was going to weigh in tomorrow morning anyway, just to see how my week has gone. But I can weigh in on Monday too!

kimmysue (Kim) Start weight: 201 lbs 71 to goal weight

Count me in too! I have about 70lbs to lose. I am trying to focus on smaller goals, like just reaching a 10lb loss, so I am not overwhelmed. I actually joined three months ago, but it wasn't until yesterday that I really started to log my food and exercise. I think having others to encourage (and be encouraged by!) will be…
