Please give details about what "eating clean" means.

Checking in...a positive report. The cycle is still in effect. Last week a .2 of a pound ...this week 2.7 pounds :) So, I expect next week's loss to be under a pound if my body keeps on this trend. Of course, this coming week is my spring break, so I am not sure what to expect :) Have a great week. Julia

Well, I see a trend developing, I am not losing 1 pound a week. I lose 2 pounds in one week, and then tread water....lose 2 pound, tread water. This week, I am treading water:) I am down .2 pound from last frinday. 4 oz down is better than 4 oz up :) Julia

bump to find later :)

Good for you!!! It feels awesome doesn't it? Julia

Honestly I STILL have not added exercise to my routine. I walk between 4-5 miles during the course of my day ( I am a teacher)... Having the ability to be a intentional eater has been the best part of MFP. SInce I am only 5 foot tall ,my deficit calories put me at 1270 a day, so I don't have too much wiggle room. I keep…

I went through a similar situation with my father. He was dying of Alzheimers. He was in Colorado Springs and I was her in California. Mom would call and tell me how horrible things were and there was absolutely nothing I could do to help...I cried A LOT. Get hubby on that plane if he wants to or not. I do not regret any…

15 lbs!!! I am down 15 lbs since I started...YEAH. I switched my weigh in day to align with this group all and was worried that I was going to have another +.2 week...NOPE. I was down 2.2 :) So that puts me down 15! Yeah! Yeah!! YEAH!!! Ok. I am done with my mini celebration. No wait. I was wearing 14's this... and…

nice!

YEAH!!! That makes me very happy!!! Julia

I sure hope I am wrong... They nutritional info says that the "dressingS" are not counted. The bag of walnuts is 70 cal( right off the bag) the The bag of cranberries is 35... The reason I think they are seperate is that they are not on the salad when you order it, and they are included in the same baggie that the dressing…

I teach 4th grade and walk almost 5 miles during my day ...without "exercise" I have myself listed also as lightly active. I do not have the answer to your other question, but wanted to let you know that I have the same setting. So maybe these questions will help: Are you eating your exercise calories? Are you using a…

Found it.... Julia

hmmmmm,,,, This week,wii says I am up .l2bs. Bummer... I guess it is to be expected after last week almost 3 lbs ... Hope every one it having a great weekend! Julia

I want to join...going to go look at the challenge first... Julia ( marking thread so I can find it later.)

Yeah! I got a "Your looking good" today...not quite a "Have you lost weight???" but I will take it. It feels good to know that people are noticing even if they do not say anything... I am doing it for me...'cause I want to look good in my clothes...So having people comment in a nice confirmation. Julia

me too...

I have a question. I asked it on the main board, but I am still trying to figure this out. OK...MFP has my calorie intake listed at 1380. I expected that this number would drop after I lost 10 pounds. It did not. So, now I am thinking that 1380 is the lowest intake I will get because I listed my activity level as…

hmmmm...down 13 pounds and it has not adjusted down.... Julia

I sure hope this Wii is accurate. I am beginning to questions it... I have NEVER lost weight this fast before! It said I has down 2.9 pounds! I have done everything to keep things the same for my weigh in...same day, about the same time, same robe. I will take it:) I am getting anxious for someone who does not know I am…

I'd love to join you. I have a story to tell you. I am five foot even... 4 11 and 3/4 if you must be exact. And, have gained 70 pounds with the birth of my 2 children. Translation 5 feet 165 ish at the time of this story. I am at my daughter pediatrcian. She is 2 and only weighs 18 pounds at the time. She ate TONS of food…

Sunday morning weigh in... down 9/10ths of a pound LOL...so I am going to round down :) Julia

SOOOOO, yesterday I actually got on the elleptical..I really really REALLY had a hard time eating those calorie back. I just dont trust it... I am going on faith here.... Julia

Sunday morning weigh in for me. Down 2 libs. I am surprised that the weight is coming off this quickly. I am eating the calories given ( within 100) and, I still have not added work out yet. I am not complaining :) Julia

Observation: Have you ever noticed that when you start losing weight, people will ask: "Have you lost weight?". BUT they never say..."Hey, are you gaining weight?" Maybe that is part of the reason we can stay in denial about weight gain :)

Mid week check in. While I have not got a "Have you lost weight???" question yet, I have noticed that my pants are looser....yeah for me. Can't wait for people to start asking, so I can tell them about this site :) Julia

Sunday morning check in... I am down1.1 pounds from last week :) Yeah! Yesterday was interesting because I could not CONTROL my food choices....I had to make my best guesses as to what I ate. I was served a chicken salad made with cranberries, cashews and apples It was yummy!. Served on an crossoint(SP???) . So made my…

Sunday is my weigh in day. I am excited to report I am down 1.5 pounds today ( YEAH ME!!!). So far, I have only changed my eating, and have not added the exercise piece, but will get there soon. I have a hard time carving out the time to fit it in, but know it is a MUST... I am mostly an ALL IN type of person, so in the…

Well, I have lost 4 pounds since my last weigh in...that works out to about 2 lbs a week. This actually does not sound right to me...but I will take it. I used the wii fit to weigh in and I made sure that I am wearing the same robe for the weigh ins. I just started using MFP on Tuesday. I cant wait to see what result will…

I turned 40 in December. I have been on this site for 4 days and LOVE the calorie counter. I have not added exercise back into my daily routine, but figure small steps are better than no steps at all. I am kinda looking forward to the extra calories since I LOVE to eat LOL. Thanks for having me.
