Thanks everyone. It took me 5 months but I think that's a good thing. DW

Lent? I thought Lent was over! Oh wait, I guess that's not until Sunday.

Anyone who can get suspended from MFP wins hands down! What kind of food did they serve you in jail Dave?

Way to go!

Thanks again everyone. All in all, it was a good month for me. Hope you all have an even better April. DW

The problem I have Becky is that when I ramp up my exercise I'm more hungry. But I'm doing the same thing as you - ramping up the exercise. I know they say you should always meet your calorie minimum so your body doesn't go into starvation mode, but I'm thinking about just for ONE DAY doing 800 calories instead of my…

Thanks everyone. I definitely made some progress! I seem to be stuck at 185 though (but I'm not complaining). Any tips on how I can bust through? Thanks again everyone. DW

I'm still in Becky. Thanks for the challenge.

My signature came back. Whoever returned it, thanks.

Hey, someone stole my signature! Am I on probation or something? I need to talk to Dave198lbs, who by the way My Fitness Pal tight-wads (read: Loosen the Bone Wilma) has been a BIG source of motivation for me during this March Madness. Yesterday was a GREAT day. The snow finally melted on the ridge of the local hiking hill…

That's impressive TMH. By the way, how many calories per minute to you get to log for gambling? Keep up the good work. I'm glad to be back home and settling into my routine. Let's all have a stellar week!

I am still playing Becky. 2nd day staying within my calorie limit. How are you doing? DW

Bless me father for I have sinned ... Well, so much for the high hopes on vacation. Goods news is that I worked out regularly. Bad news is that I didn't have my scale and indulged a wee bit. Time to get back on the horse. :smile:

Glad to know you are with us Tomyhealth!!! One more workday, then it's VACATION for me. Yipeeeeee!!!

By the way, where is everyone? Who's still in on March Madness!!!!?

I just had a 6 inch Subway ham and turkey. OMG, it was so tasty and filling. I haven't eaten there in about 2 years. That's a lot of food for under 400 calories! And you get your veggies too.

Day 11 was hard. Felt like I was going to blow through my calories but I held it together ... barely. In hindsight, I think the day was tough because the day before I had a big workout and left most of my "earned" calories on the table. Watching two episodes of No Reservations didn't help either. I hope today will be…

Going good here Becky and Dave. But it's COLD outside. About 10 degrees and windy. Can't wait to go to Arizona on Saturday. So far so good for March though. Been staying under the calorie limit. Feeling GOOD. Hope you guys are too. DW

WOW! Day 10 - have a great one all. DW

Thanks amigo.

Dave has me motivated about my upcoming Spring break. I need to accept the challenge and forget about your standard, gut-bomb Mexican food. Grrr. Maybe even hit the fitness facilities at the hotel HARD. So far so good today. I thought I only had 600 cals left for the day, but then realized I had 2 double entries. LIKE…

Okay, that was semi-pathetic. Had to do 20 minutes of workout at the end of the day to stay within my calorie limit, BUT I made it.

Not such a good day for me. I am over a bit on calories (went out to dinner). I have to burn some calories tonight on the nordic track so I don't go over. Oh well. Hope everyone is having a good day. DW

I made it too on the calories. When you get extra calories for working out it makes it easy. I've got plenty to spare today and I'm not even hungry ... unlike a couple of days ago.

Happy Saturday everyone! Hello day 7. I think I'm going skate skiing today and tomorrow to bump my exercise a bit. Hope everyone has a good, productive (on all levels) weekend. Thanks for the motivation. DW

WAY TO GO 50!!! Keep on Becky!

Looks like I made it on day 5. Hope everyone else is doing well. DW

Franciss, this is the first time I have ever counted calories. It has given me a WHOLE new perspective on food and I have been eating much, much better. I have being staying completely away from processed foods and I really feel the difference. If you pick your foods wisely, you can eat quite a bit of food without going…

Day 4, I made it. On to 5.

1/4 cup dry is a LOT of rice then... at least 2 cups wet. Yes, I ate brown tonight. Thanks for the pointer, again. Unfortunately, when I was at an oriental market, I bought a 20 lb. bag of jasmine rice. OOPS. Might have to throw some of that out. :smile: DW
