Ummm, sounds like a plan to me!

Wow, you are an inspiration and you look amazing!

I would think it depends on what you would call a diet. Since I started my diet, my 3 year old daughter's diet has changed drastically. Now, instead of cookies, which are no longer in the pantry, she is asking for oranges, yogurt or cheese strings.

I started a week and a half ago at 180 lbs, and it gave me 1200 calories as well. I've been trying hard to make better food choices so I feel full and won't go over, and it's been working so far. Also, I've been earning about 200 calories a day from exercise so that helps as well.

Okay, I kind of fell off the exercise wagon the weekend and my total for the week ended up at 1254. Looking forward to a fresh week and and new challenge! Congrats to everyone who did so well!

For me, when I was 150 lbs and about a size 8 I did, now that I'm 180 lbs, and about a size 14 absolutely not. As for what other people wear, I could care less.

Checking in with 266 cal burned today which brings me to a total of 1258 for the week. This is GREAT for me since this is the most I've exercised in the past year at least. I'm just so glad to be starting to get back on track.

Well I'm feeling kind of lazy today, but I think I'm going to try to force myself to move when the baby naps. I have an extremely busy day tomorrow, so I don't really think I'm going to be able to find any time to exercise tomorrow.

Just checking in. I think I forgot to upday yesterday, so yesterday I burned 223 cal, and today 205 cal, for a total of 992 calories burned so far this week.

I shop at Costco and they sell little tubs of Play-Doh to give out to trick-or-treaters. This is what I'm getting this year to give out, my kids love Play-Doh, so if there is any left over it will be put to good use!

Checking in with 256 cal burned. Totally not what I was hoping for, but I'm super tired. Hey, if I don't make the challenge, don't kick me out, lol.

Just checking in with 308 cal burned from exercise. The 2000 cal for the week mark is probably a bit of a stretch for me, but I'm okay with that. The amount I have used my treadmill this past week is probably more than I've used it in the past year.

Congrats on the job! Oh, and good luck with the apartment. :)

OMG, Serious?!? Well I was planning on being a couch potato today, but I guess not! Off to go jump on the treadmill I guess, lol!

So what should I be looking out for with the challenges? Will it be in this thread, or will a new one be started?

Hey everyone, happy Monday! I weighed myself this morning for the start of the challenges, even though I only started this on Friday, and I was pleasantly surprised! Hope everyone is doing great!

Just checking in. I did pretty good, got in all my water, did cardio, and stayed on track overall. I did decide to do all my measurements and I must say I was a little shocked at the numbers. And I also did "Before" pics, lol! Now I just need after pics and I'll be a happy camper! I'm just really excited to get back to my…

You look wonderful, and you should be amazingly proud of yourself!

LOL, at the juice pusher comment!

I had the same problem. So, I put all the crappy snacks (things like chocolate cover granola bars, candy packs, and other sugary treats) in a box and put them in the basement. My oldest still takes them in his lunch for school (in moderation of course) and I also put them in the diaper bag for when I go out with my 2…

I'd love to find a twin too! If we are close just go ahead and add me! :) SW 180 lbs CW 180 lbs (I just started yesterday) GW 140 Height 5'7" Age 31

I did really good today, 2 days in a row! I even added interval training to my workout and actually ran at 5mph for 10 minutes, I could actually feel the burn.

Awesome job, you look great!!

Welcome, and good luck on your weight loss journey. I have been living in Alberta for the past 8 years, but am from Newfoundland!

Ditto here on the eggs for lunch, they actually keep me full for a long time. I beat the urge to binge last night too. My husband works away, he's gone for 8 days, then home for 6, and on the days I'm home alone, once the kids are in bed I eat as a past time. I actually ate one chocolate covered granola bar, which was 140…

I wish i had the will power to stay away from the scale and only weigh once a week, however I always find myself stepping on every day while I'm in weight loss mode. Now, the opposite happens when I'm not trying to loose weight, I find myself not stepping on for weeks becuse I just don't want to know.

I know it is so hard at social events to keep in control of what I'm eating, so good luck!

So awesome about Wheel of Fortune!! And totally lol about the age thing, I really have to stop and think about how old I am all the time!

Absolutely wanting to participate in weighin, contests, challenges, etc. Sign me up!

So how did everyone do today? I actually did really good! I did 30 mins on the treadmill, drank 8 glasses of water, stayed in my calorie range, and best of all I actually ate fruit and veggies, which I rarely do! And to top it all off, I wasen't even hungry!
