Thank you guys for setting me straight. Sometimes my mind just tricks me into not doing what's good for me.

Mickmelie: Nice. margurithrt: I just made an appointment for tomorrow at 6 pm, which works perfect for my new schedule.

Yes, I need to talk to my doctor. I'll actually call her right now.

Well, I really don't like taking them for one. But, the more practical reason is that I've been trying to switch my sleeping to days rather than nights for my new job, and I've been really unsure when to take them, so I end up not taking them at all. Which I know, horrible reason, right? But, that's what's happened.

Thank you for your response. I'm not trying to zigzag my calories, but because of my infrequent workouts and my frequent weight changes, that messes with my calorie goals. And yes, I need to start logging every single thing every single day. It's been a couple of really difficult days for me, and tonight I start my night…

Okay, so here are month one's unsuccessful results. But I am going to keep working. Measurements: Weight: 175.4 lbs Chest: 39 in. Waist: 38 in. Hips: 41 in. Right Thigh: 22 in. Left Thigh: 22.5 in. Right Arm: 13 in. Left Arm: 13 in. Pictures: As you may be able to tell, I'm not a very happy camper today. But, I will keep…

I'm in! Do we have any goals set up yet?

May I join? My current weight is 177. I would love to get down to 165 by Christmas. Goodness, that would be awesome!

Oh, I would love to join the Easter challenge! Maybe it'll give me some motivation for things to give up for Lent as well! My starting weight is 177.0. I'll be checking in next Tuesday around 4 pm!

Is it too late to join?

Well, I don't know what I'm going to do for Thanksgiving. My weight is up from lack of sleep, schedule change, and eating to keep up my energy (plus some) I'll do what I can to turn it around so that hopefully by Thanksgiving, I can be at a decent weight.

I didn't think that what I wanted to lose or my activity level had anything to do with my basal metabolic rate, but I am looking to lose about 50 lbs, and I'm lightly active. Going off of the weight I just weighed myself at, I'm now at 177...therefore my BMR by most standard calculations would be at 1613. Going off of my…

Okay...just so that anyone who knows me or is following this knows...I am taking up an overnight job, so that is why I changed my eating schedule the way that I did. I start next Monday, so I'm trying to get my body to switch to night time awakeness. But, in the process, my eating habits might be a little...weird. So, if…

I've got an entire crockpot cookbook. I'll rummage through it and get back to you.

SW (11/26/11) 170 lbs (my current weight is 173.8, but I would really like to jumpstart it and kick myself in the butt to get going) Week 2 (12/03/11) xxx lbs Week 3 (12/10/11) xxx lbs Week 4 (12/17/11) xxx lbs Week 5 (12/24/11) xxx lbs goal = 160 lbs. (I want to lose 2 lbs a week. Very badly) Week 6 (12/31/11) xxx lbs…

Thank you for your advice...right now I'm kind of addicted to caffeine, so it would be good for me to get rid of it. I'm also bad about eating fruit, so another good thing to try out. I stink at drinking water and measuring things...so I will try those out. I already eat every 2-3 hours...I just need to cut my portions…

Weight today....172.4....progress...0%

I'm a bit late coming into this, but I think I can do it this time.

Tried to have fun with my sister tonight by going out for halloween weekend. Didn't work. :frown:

Well, I would say that it depends on your weight and body fat, but more than likely, it's not healthy for you to be eating so few calories. And even if you are missing an appetite to eat that much, it still might be unhealthy. When I had an eating disorder, I was never hungry. I could barely get myself to eat 300-500…

Thank you for your advice. I gained my weight while recovering from an eating disorder as well, and also excess post-recovery...I went from 95 two and a half years ago to 171 now...I've been trying so hard to use the exchange system as a means of losing weight, but I've had a lot of issues with it, because I'm usually very…

Okay...I forgot the weight update yesterday. But this morning, I weighed 172.8...not the direction I want to be heading. So, I need to step it up a notch...or several. Any ideas?

Slowly getting myself to stick to my calorie budget. I couldn't do TurboJam today though, cuz my blu-ray player is not playing dvds right now. Oh, the suffering I must endure :laugh: Although, if you're a gamer and you keep losing on League of Legends...it gets really frustrating. Anyway, I'll have a weight update…

Okay...how do I get myself to stop overeating?

Well, Turbo Jam kicked my butt today. Oofda. hmalin1, I think what I'll do is write out my answers to the points you put in your article, and post them on here later. But, so far, I'm staying on track for the day.

Sweet! Thanks. I could use some good will power exercise, so I will look into that.

Ugh...this week is sucking....I'm excercising for 45 minutes everyday and my weight is not budging. :angry:

Well, I'm a little over one pound down. Yay! And I'm totally ready for this week's challenge! Let's do this.

Well, I'm 90 pushups in and 1 mile so far. 10/1: 0 10/2: 0 10/3: 90 pushups, 1 mile 10/4: ? 10/5: ? 10/6: ?
