Dragonfly- still don't know how you did that fast. Glad you are eating again! How is p90? Isn't it kinda like p90x? Sounds like a good workout and great job on your eating. Smileydays- great job getting a workout in in the morning. I always feel better when I workout in the morning. I find it so hard to workout after work…

Polliesgirl- Hope your number sticks! I know the feeling a number being too good to be true! Your grocery ideas sound good. I have been eating a lot of wraps, salads and soup lately. All are relatively quick to make. Oh, I also make one big meal on one night and save left overs for a few more nights. Easy and don't have to…

Polliesgirl- good job so far, sorry to hear you are sick! Cynder- Not to late to join! Welcome! Beccera- Welcome and good luck! dragonfuly74- I am doing p90x- a beachbody product. I am not aware of their fasts... good thing it is only two days, I am not sure if I would make it one. Are you doing a beachbody program?…

Do we want to check in daily with a report on whether we met our daily calorie and exercise goals or just weekly with a weigh in? Maybe we can do both and people can choose what they want to do. Today I was within my calorie goals (1600 w/ exercise cals) and ran 4 miles (400 cals burned) Day one down. My starting weight:…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. You are right today is just one day and tomorrow is a new day and it will be better. The reason I probably gave in was because I often feel like I am not good enough and I had some of those feelings at work. I think I need to do something relaxing (medication, walk etc) after work to…

I think that the best thing to do is always only eat half. Most restaurant food weighs in around 1000-2000 calories for a meal! So they you are only eating 500-1000. Good job on only eating 1/2. I'd say toss the rest!

Great job everyone! I have been sticking with it; Yesterday I really wanted something sweet after dinner (I usually eat ice cream every night!) but I resisted and brushed my teeth! One day down!

Thanks for your replies. I am used to working out pretty hard and do not consider myself a "beginner" in the work of exercise. I really enjoy running. Do you think it is possible to do the p90x program and keep up on my running? I am training for a 1/2 right now but after October it will be more recreational running 3-6…

I'm in, I'll start Monday morning. Looking forward to the daily check in.
