Done! :)

I log it as Circuit Training - General; and I know of people with HRM watches here confirmed that is accurate :)

cereal bars, rice cookies, fruits (apple, banana)

I rinse everything canned: green beans, lentils, tuna. It shows in the taste and definitely in the sodium intake :)

I only crave for sweets, so I made a big bowl of diet jelly (strawberry) and I ate as much as I wanted ;)

What I see is that you are eating under your Daily Goals and not eating your exercise calories back. That might be one of the reasons of your plateau. You need to shake your metabolism. Change your exercises as well as your body gets used to them and manages the burning more efficiently ;)

Thank you so much Curlyclo! Actually my "guided" goals were a little above (100 calories), but now with your explanation I found out my real goal to reach 1lb per week :)

Great work Sayne! Keep up the good work :) Could you share your diary please? I set up the same goal but I don't seem to accomplish it since in my first week I lost almost nothing...

Great post Gerald :) It makes me want to keep on going!

I added you :)

Have you lost 3 kg in 3 weeks? That a lot...! Let your body adjust and start eating more. 1200 is the minimum to stay alive therefore your body is saving energies. Eat more and you will continue descending. MORE does not mean MORE QUANTITY; just eat around the same amount of food but with more calories value (specially…

Why is that? You could help your friends to see how you magnificently lost those 23 lbs! :D

*Calorie cycling provides same amount of calories per week, but 'tricks' your body by constantly changing daily calories. This helps to prevent or break plateaus :)

The Weight Loss Plateau Over time our bodies adapt to the lowered calorie level. Our body becomes more efficient at using energy (lowered metabolism), and therefore burns less fat. This is why most of us reach a weight loss plateau. At this point, the only option is to boost metabolism; increased cardio, weight training,…

My BMR is 1469 cal / day, I don't know if that is low because my nutritional goal is 1,340 calories/day (not that much of a gap like yours)

Congrats for your achievements Anthony! Feel free to add me as friend :)

Welcome Ash! I added you as friend :) This website is great!

Oh so missing beer...! You'll find this community awesome! Feel free to add me :)

Hi Claire! Welcome to MFP :) Today was my first day here and I found it AWESOME (gotta love the diary!) PLUS, so many great people, stories, etc. I'll add you :) Regards, Leti / 30 / Argentina

After execise please make sure to not eat right away, because it is probable you'll eat more than you need Regain your energy with water and some fruit (banana, apple), it will bring your body back to normality. You can have a nice light dinner at night :)

OK, my first day ends with 300 calories saved :) It feels really good, I'm not hungry at all and I have read so many wonderful stories/blogs/posts throughout the day that it makes me wanna continue tomorrow! See u tomorrow all!

If you're losing wait, bear in mind the bride dress fitting !!! I watch "Say YES to the dress" on E! and that is a common issue among the brides (a good issue, but an issue to avoid on your wedding day!) Good luck and congrats!

Hi genlo! I have started today so I could use some friends :) Regards, Leticia

Hi B, I'm starting today as well! Friend me if you like :) I'm 30 and I'm from Argentina Regards! Leti

I will start to take me pictures once per month to show all the progress :blushing: Nov.13th, 2011 - Day 1 - 73 kg.

Glad to read about that small person less in our world! :D Congrats both! Looking forward to start my whole experience (I'd love to share a lot UPS and not longing for too many DOWNS!)

Thank you liveinthemix! Congrats for your weight loss (those tickers are so motivating!)

Hi Madrock! Actually that pic is my goal, I had 10 kg less than now :) (and few year less as well! ) Actually my sedentary lifestyle is my main problem: sitting behind a computer 24/7 = half for work and half for fun = need to change my sedentary ways asap!
