Thanks everyone...I will prob keep the cheat day...but I will log that day...and workout one day on the weekend. Jillian says its good to zig zag cals...so I guess a cheat day is good...just have to be veeery careful on the other days. I cant wait for the day I can come back here and say Im under 200 lbs

Thank you!! Been wanting to say that for MONTHS now!!!

I think I finally got it! I read part of my Jillian Michaels book again, and followed her recomendations for the amount of calories I should consume. Finally shed some light on all of this, even though its a pretty simple answer! We need a calorie deficit of 3500 a wk to lose only 1 lb. So, after calculating my workouts, I…

Maybe it is the type of calories Im eating. I usually do stay within my calories, but I honestly think I may be cheating too much. I know lots of people have to add calories to lose wight, but maybe I need to decrease...maybe I cant have cheat days. Or....maybe once a month. Ill keep tryin...just really hope I can see some…

Me too!! Im in the same spot, and I have lost tons of weight before...I dont remember weight loss ever being this hard.

might be right Destiny...Ill drink more water...I tend to drink a lot on the weekdays and not enough on the weekends.

clothes are fitting a tiny tiny bit looser on SOME days, but not all. Also, I lost an inch in my waist, and then gainded it right back. :sad:

Im eating a lot though...following Drs orders...he said under 2000 a day, and Im eating 1850, and like I said, when I work out, sometimes I go over by 100 or 200....and I have a cheat day.

Wasabi Peas are AWESOME! I like chocolate rice cakes with a lil peanut butter ( good protein), and veggies and hummus or low fat dip. This time of yr...I am making candy apples...they are high in sugar, but its ok once in awhile...and I like light popcorn, with seasoning on it.

Hi everyone, and welcome, new vampires! I dont like working Fri nights, I should be oput doing something fun, but atleast it keeps me outta trouble!!

Fit, I totally get where you are coming from. I lived in NYC and went to school there for years, and I partied like CRAZY..I am just NOW starting to wind down at the ripe age of 29 ; ) hehe I still drink twice a wk. I was in great shape back then, so it can be done. Honestly, I dont think NOT going to these events is the…

hehe kinda have to agree with u there! I love not worrying about how many cals Im eating, COUNTING everything, ect. I wonder how much time I spend counting and logging. I do like to work out though.

oh! and you can add protein powder to pancakes, muffins, pretty much anything baked

Im really into protein shakes lately, if you google protein shake recipes, there are a ton, and some of them are really good! Just watch the calories because some of them are really high in calories and fat, for body builders. I usually just use half a scoop. A huge canister is about 20-30 bucks, and you get a lot of…

hehe...dont feel bad Meg...I had a lil cake too, but just a lil bit this time. I brought my gym clothes and Im debating if I should go and lift weights after work, I already worked out when I got up, but just cardio. Not sure if I have the motivation to do a twice a day thing, but it helped me lose a lot of weight before.…

I dont understand how a subway sandwich...even an italian combo, has more calories than a value meal...

Welcome to the thread! I do workouts at work too..mostly lunges and squats, and I have a resistance band here :smile:

Small cup good Allie...that cakes from last night are STILL HERE. Why would anyone need to buy TWO sheetcakes? We a re a small group! Its cool...Im staying strong!!

It is getting big! I always felt so alone at night...now Im not, its great! We need our own website...myfitnesspal, vampire version :tongue:

thats a great idea!! looks good

great job!!!

oops meant to reply to that... i feel gross after eating that cake...wasnt even that good!!

I wish I didnt like frosting...truth is I LOOOOVE it lol. I didnt eat the cake yet,,I wonder if I could actually not eat it? I would be soooo proud!!

oh no, I came in tonight and there waas leftover food from earlier. Somehow, the healthy fish and veggie dinenr I brought is turning into pizza and cake!! help!!! lol

yep! Excactly what I thought! Work out was great, I never saw another sshow like it. Thintervention has been done over and over again

You know what I did to make it easy on myself? I stopped logging my workouts, and I increased my caloris by 100 each day, so I should be losing half a lb a wk, but that is without workouts. I do notice my clothes are a lil loser, so its working for me! This way, my workouts are exytra calories burned, not ones I eat, and…

I like it, but I think it could be better. I used to love her show "Workout". It was great because it was different! This show reminds me of the biggest loser 100%, workout was much better.

its really up to you, my scale just broke, and Im not buying a new one, so Ill probably weigh myself at the gym once a month. I take a measurement of my waist only about once a wk. Since I started doing weights, the scale went up a lil, so I decided to not weigh myself for a little while. I dont want to hinder my efforts…

Meg, I have the same exact schedule :smile:
