So, as we are all working hard to make 2011 an exceptional year - how frequently will people be checking in? Is there an official day that we should all try to check in? I have found that having to log my calories, exercise, water consumption is good if I have to do it more publicly. I am pretty sure that there is already…

Happy New Years! Updated my goals through the end of March. 2011 is going to rock!

Just checking in. Detoxing this week and my 15yo daughter is partnering with me. I have met the 2010 exercise goal - what will be my 2011 one? Or should I go by months? Minutes?

Good Morning! I hit my year end goal yesterdayt, so now I just have to maintain through the next week and half. that will be a challenge. Trying to determine goals for 2011. I believe that my weight loss will most likely reduce in speed, so I am trying to be realistic. Is 8lbs a month reasonable? Also I may change # of…

Do people enter their meals at the beginning of the day hoping to stick to it or as they go or at the end of the day?

LittleSpy - congrats on the new baby picture - you amaze me that you are staying on track while pregnant. It was my excuse to go crazy and I am paying for it now. Keep up the good work.

Heather - Keep it up! I usually only weigh once or twice a week, but last week I weighed daily - wow does that scale bounce around. On high days, I found it negatively effected my eating.

During the first trimester of my first pregnancy, the tiredness was so overwhelming! I actually fell asleep in a meeting sitting next to my boss and the VP of the group! At that point I had to fess up to cover my *kitten*.

Thanks to all for the feedback. I think I am doing pretty good. I read the posts about the calculations and reviewed a handful of mine. I went to the BMR said 1557 and trainer has said between 1200 and 1500 (high end on exercise days). Based on above, I think my calorie intake is good and it is becoming amazingly healthy…

Love the clean slate! I still have to lose 1 lb to meet my mini goal by Tuesday. I am trying for 30 minutes daily, but so far only every other day seems to be happening. If I am going to take off another 5 lb by New Years - I am going to have to pick up the pace to match my holiday munching! Someone had asked me to share…

Elmox: Congratulations on your Baptism!

Can you eat too much fiber? Especially if you are eating well as far as calories, etc go.

Yes, I live in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis - Champlin if you have heard of it.

I love Land's End! They really do have all the different body types covered as will as sizing, tops and cute to boot.

count me in! I need to set some short term goals as well. Excercise 5x per week, doesn't have to be at the gym. Keep calorie intake at or below 1500, prefer 1200 November End - lose 5 lbs New Years - lose 5 lbs February End be under 200 (where will I go then for support? :wink: )
