way to go Raynel!! Congatulations on a great week! Keep up the good work, I know you can do it!:flowerforyou:

That is wonderful Tamim....enjoy your well deserved success!!! Congratulations on a job well done. I can't wait to be where you are!! :flowerforyou:

I have a tough time drinking 8 glasses of water a day.....so I've discovered that if I use one of the flavor packets it is very enjoyable....only 5 calories each packet and it makes me think I'm drinking something other than water...just thought I'd pass that information along in case it helps anyone else.Have a great day!…

Congratulations to all of you....it is wonderful to see how well everyone is doing. Thank you for sharing.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Slimsuccess...BRAVO to you! What a total transformation!! I checked out your profile and you look wonderful...you are an inspiration to us neebies. Congrads!!

I have been using the program for only 3 weeks now and am a very long way from my goal...I have another 100 lbs to shed....10 lbs gone so far so I'm very happy about it! I joined the challenge but was wondering who has lost the most weight counting calories....????? Any takers for some well deserved congratulations??…

Forgot to mention my weight: started 2/23/08 at 268.8 March 16, 2008 259 lbs :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hi Team! ! I want to be in the challenge too! I started out on 2/23/08 and have lost 10 lbs in my first 3 weeks!! I have a long road ahead of me....100 lbs but am determined to get there....good luck everyone!! We can all do this if we stay focused. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I sympathize with you. I am good all day at work but the night time after dinner is the worst for me too. I think the best solution is to get all the junk out of the house and only have low calorie snacks available. Jello pudding cups are only 100 calories, and there are a host of other 100 calorie snack packs out there…

Congratulations Steve!! That is wonderful!! I've been dieting for a week and lost 5 lbs so far so I know how good you feel about yourself right now. Keep motivated and we will acheive our weight loss goal. :drinker:

and the number is 5 pounds gone.....hooray for me!!! :drinker:

A new life...a new beginning....that's what I need.... I have to lose a little over 100 lbs to reach my goal weight so count me in for this challenge too. It makes the long road ahead so much easier to travel when you have the support of the great people I have met on this site. Best of luck to everyone. :flowerforyou:

I have a large amount of weight to lose though....most likely a year's worth...that's why I am wondering if sticking to the same amount of calories throughout the entire time applies for me too......:drinker:

I just started this week and was wondering if anyone knows the answer to my question. If at my starting weight I am allowed 1320 calories a day, as I lose weight do I have to redo the BMR to adjust my calories to continue to lose? Or do I just stay with the original set amount of calories throughout my entire diet plan?…

:flowerforyou: I found this site by accident and it has truly inspired me to start losing weight! Everyone sounds so supportive and I know I am not alone in my quest to shed these unwanted pounds. My current weight is overwhelming....I could use to lose 100 lbs plus a few.... One day at a time...one meal at a time.... I…

Hi, I'm new here and was so excited to find this site while doing a search. I am currently 268 lbs and need to lose 118 to be where I should be. This number sounds so overwhelming to me but I know if I can just stay focused I can do it. I've lost a considerable amount of weight on diets before...Weight Watchers, Slimfast,…
