I am on a 1500 calorie diet. I walk twice a day and have been losing :)

Hello everyone! SW: 194 CW: 183.5 GW: 174 Over halfway there HURRAY! I think I'm gonna be able to do it!

So my starting weight here was 194, now I am 188. So down 6 pounds since December 18th... slower than previous but hey not bad for the Christmas season. :)

Hey its okay to enjoy some! Just keep it small and log it :)

Nice loss!!

Yeah thats me today!! Dinner and a movie with a friend. Oh well... tomorrow is a new day!!

Down 2 pounds to 232 after first week. I have been at this weight for 6 months. Have been waiting for the new year to make some changes. Really want to do this. [/quote] Well that is a great start I love it!

Nice loss!!

Crackers do the job for me great! With a little salsa they make a nice light snack!

SW: 194 CW: 190.5 GW: Easter 174 Longer term goal: 134 Down 3.5 pounds so far and most of that was during Christmas yahooo!

Well done great start!!

"Being overweight was HARD, dieting was HARD .. I told myself I had to choose what "hard" I wanted!" I love this!!! Congratulations!

No! Just come chat now and then and offer support or seek some!! :)

No group to join, this is it! Check in now and then, share your stories too! Informal and supportive yahooo!

I just have to say how happy I am that Christmas and New Years are now over. It's good to be back into the swing of things! Not expecting a huge loss this week thanks to New Years celebrations but oh well!

Oh what a wonderful goal to be working towards!

I did my weigh in early cause of New Years tonight! I lost 1.5 pounds during Christmas yahooo!

I am going to have to check that site out!

Guilty of this too! Definitely have improved though haha!

Interested! The more accountability the better!

Interested!

How did we all do for Christmas?? I did great.. down a pound even though I felt like I ate terribly! Although I am moving my weigh-in day to Saturday, the holidays ruined my groove a little! Thursday is New Years Eve and I will not be logging the alcohol consumed that night ;) Been nice to let my hair down a little but…

-Lose 20 pounds by Easter (March 27th) -Lose another 15 pounds by June 27th -Last 15 pounds by October 31st -Start jogging by midsummer and work up to 5k

Yes you sure can and I do! I am not a huge vaggie eater, and I like meats. I have a huge sweet tooth. I enjoy what I like in moderation. Cutting out condiments helps, and I stay under my sugar macros very carefully. Exercise also definitely helps. You don't have to starve nor eat like a rabbit!

I personally do my weigh-ins on Wednesday (why Wedsnesday of all days?? haha!) But I think Sunday is a great idea to check in :)

It has worked fine for me. I try and fail to completely kick sugar. I instead learn to live with it in a healthy manner. I don't worry abut going over on proteins (I have never gone over on carbs), but sugar is the important one for me to stick to. But IIFYM has taught me to eat what I like, but how to reduce it and add in…

Oh man this is a little hard during Christmas isn't it! I may not see a loss this week but if I can enjoy myelf without gaining then that will be a huge accomplishment for me and the first in many Christmases!

Oh wow what a lovely beach house! Great goals. I'm taking a few days during the break to allow myself to eat at maintenance so I can enjoy the season a bit more with my family :)

Yeah no group I think... I kinda just like this better!

Hey that's fine! I was pretty scared at first too. And the number was higher than I imagined it would be! That hurt. But I can promise... you will feel better once you start and you will never want to look back! The beginning is the hardest for sure though!
