5/19 Green- Yes Blue- Yes It was 11:40 pm and I had 87 flights of stairs on my fitbit. You know sure enough I climbed the stairs to get my 100 flight badge. Craziness I tell ya! Bruceapple- I'm impressed with swimming 2 miles! Good job everyone! ****************spreadsheet updated*********************

You look amazing! Way to go!!! I am checking out that facebook group too :)

You have the right idea about your calorie deficit. If you are following the MFP calories, set it for 0.5lb per week. If you are doing IIFYM, 10% deficit. I recommend getting a food scale and weighing your portions when at home, because being accurate is very important. Also good idea about doing 30 Day Shred or any…

What's your deficit set to? Maybe it's time to change that up to 1 lb per week or 0.5 lb per week. I went back to May 1st on your diary and it looks like you were leaving a lot of calories left at the end of the day. For example your calorie goal was 2000, but you were eating 1300. You gotta fuel your body for all the…

5/17 Green-yes- BIG workout day, followed by big pizza and beer night :) Blue-yes 5/18 Green- yes Blue- yes Hey, I'm up to 9 green days for the month :bigsmile: *********************spreadsheet updated*******************

Set your goal on MFP to 0.5lb per week. You'll have a 250 calorie deficit so being accurate with your calorie counting is important. Weigh all your food on a food scale so that your logging is accurate. Continue to lift weights and up them as you go along.

Back on track to make goal!!! 5/1- 6 5/2- 3.8 5/3- 6.1 5/4- 5.1 5/5- 2.7 5/6- 4.8 5/7- 3.2 5/8- 5.5 5/9- 3 5/10- 8.8 5/11- 2.9 5/12- 4.2 5/13- 7.4 5/14- 4.1 5/15- 8.1 5/16- 3.1

5/14 Green- Yes Blue- Yes 5/15 Green- Yes, cause Chevy said so. Blue- Yes 5/16- RED!!!! So, so hungry today! Blue-Yes I'm sorry I haven't been as actively involved this month. A big thanks to R_Queenie for keeping us going. Who, by the way I love the new profile pic! *****************spreadsheet updated*********************

I don't think anyone brought this up, but are you weighing your food on a food scale? It's very easy to underestimate otherwise.

Chevy- You are rocking it! 5/13- Green- yes Blue- Yes Had a great day of boot camp, zumba and a little evening walk. *******************spreadsheet updated***********************

5/12 - Green- yes Blue- Yes Slowly but surely getting back on track!

@ktaylor- It sounds like a good plan for you. I've beginning to wonder if that is what is going on with me too. It's nice being satisfied, that's what you've worked so hard for.

5/8- Green- Yes! Blue- Yes 5/9- Green- No I had 200 calories left for dinner and then pizza happened +500 Blue- Yes 5/10- Green- No, not even close. Baseball game beer+peanuts. Over by 775. And sadly I burned 2600 cals yesterday (a big burn for me). Blue- yes 5/11- Green- Yes Blue- yes I'm really struggling here with…

Hi guys! I'm back after a little vacation and an unplanned diet break of about one week. It was very refreshing, but easy to slip into old habits! I realized that I need calorie logging and this challenge, otherwise, I will just eat, eat, eat!!! I've worked too hard to get to where I am and while eating is pleasurable at…

A little below pace to make goal, but it's early in the month! 5/1- 6 5/2- 3.8 5/3- 6.1 5/4- 5.1 5/5- 2.7 5/6- 4.8 5/7- 3.2

There is no such thing as a sedentary TDEE unless all you do is lay on the couch all day. What is your TDEE factoring in your exercise and activity??? Find that number and subtract the 20% off of that. Or use MFP as intended and eat back your exercise calories.

Hi Everyone! I'm going for 24 Green Days and 31 Blue days. I'm going on vacation tomorrow until May 6th. I haven't decided if I'll be tracking or not, but I'll be sure to chug the water. This challenge has been instrumental in my success with this lifestyle change of food and drink in moderation. :drinker:

My goal for May is 155 miles. Thanks!

4/30- Green-yes Blue-yes A nice day to end the month! Great job to everyone, especially our Supernovas!!! The Spreadsheet is updated. I'll check back to see if there are any others reporting in late.

I'm down to the last few pounds (I think) and I have MFP set to maintenance (1760) calories. I also have my fitbit linked to my account. I try to eat less than what I burn daily, especially days I work out I am able to make a calorie defecit (200-400 calories). On days I can't work out, I usually eat at maintenance because…

I got one similar to this at TJ Maxx. It's very light and slim. Any I like to believe Fanny Packs are making a come-back! http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Runners-Waist-Pack-Hi-Viz-Yellow/dp/B006G2F1GE/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1398878890&sr=8-12&keywords=nathan+belt

Hi Everyone! I've been on MFP for over 400 days. I'm 5'4" and my weight ballooned up to 155lb. I was 125lb when I got married 5 years ago and I finally decided, enough is enough regarding the gluttony and laziness. I started walking, going to zumba classes and boot camp several days a week. Now I'm super active and make…

4/26- Green- Nope. Just wanted to eat, eat, eat yesterday. Blue- Yes 4/27- Green- Yes Blue- Yes Congrats to Marjanet and MelissaPhipps for joining the Diamond Medal circle!!! Just a few more days to the month, finish strong everyone!!!! *************spreadsheet updated******************

Had dinner out for our 5th Wedding Anniversary. I logged it, it's anyone's guess if it's right or not. Luckily did not get…

I can't believe no one has said Girl Talk. He's a mash up artist and mixes together all sort of snippets and beats from popular (and not so popular songs). What he comes up with is amazing! All Day and Feed the Animals are his two most recent albums and free downloads. http://www.illegal-art.net/girltalk/shop/index.html
