I'm impressed with everyone's numbers! Keep up the great work! Checking in with: 2/7 -- 0 cardio (rest day) 2/8 -- 20 minutes cardio 2/9 - 68 minutes cardio

That's great about your measurements! Wow! What type of exercise are you doing to lose the inches around your hips? I've lost inches primarily around my waist and belly, but my hips won't budge! Keep up the great work!

Hi everybody! Just checking in. Today I weighed in at 201.8. That's 1.6 lbs down from when I started this group on Feb. 2. Yea! I've been doing good on my water, too. Feb. 2: 64oz; Feb. 3: 64oz; Feb. 4: 64oz; Feb. 5: 72oz. I've gone for such a long time without losing anything. It's amazing how much accountability and…

Hi Flo! You've got it right. Soda is any type of carbonated drink like Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, etc. It's mid-afternoon in the central U.S. and I've got about 32 oz. of water to go. Shouldn't be a problem, though. I've still got to work out today :smile: You have a good day, too!

Excellent! Thanks!

Yikes!! Talk about a motivator. All the best to you!

That's awesome! Great job!!

I know how you feel! By the way, what is a PT test?

It's tough when there's little or no movement downward on the scale. I've been there for a while! That's when I totally reassess what I'm doing -- from diet to exercise to water intake to my caloric intake and expenditure, making sure everything balances out and that I maintain an 800-1,000 calorie deficit each day. I also…

Hi MissLissa! Where did you get the cute smiley on the treadmill graphic? I love it!

Good morning, everybody! I made my water goal of 64oz yesterday (Tuesday). I probably would have had more if I had worked out, but it was my day off :) I've got a big workout scheduled for today, if I can get motivated. Has anybody noticed that when you drink more water, your thirst is more noticeable? It seems like when I…

That sounds really good! I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, good! So I guess I'm not crazy after all, regarding the pop-top water bottle. Have a super day!

I agree, it's hard to take in all of the water we need, but boy, does it help with getting rid of the excess water weight! The other day, I got on the scale and had gained 1.5 lbs in one day. How did that happen!! I looked at my food diary and realized that I had been eating salty foods and not drinking enough water. I…

I'd love to join in, too, if it's not too late. Start weight: 203.4 Goal weight (4 weeks): 197 Ultimate goal weight: 145-150 I just barely finished my 64 oz of water for the day. Whoo, hoo! Now, if I can just make it through the night! :wink:

You go girl!! Fitmom2b

Thanks for the encouragement! :smile: Take care, Fitmom2b

Thanks! Great advice. Take care! Fitmom2b

Thanks! I'll get that checked out. Take care!

Hi everyone! I just joined myfitnesspal.com and am excited about getting serious with this weight thing. I've been working out a lot and have built muscle, but haven't lost any weight. According to my BMI, I need to lose about 60 lbs. I hope that logging my food and excercise helps me to realistically see what I'm eating…
