SW (4/1/11) 180 wk#1 (4/7/11) 178.4 wk#2 (4/14/11) 176 Stacy

My goal is set at 1200 as well. I make sure to exercise every day. That way I earn another 400-800 calories per day. In 5 weeks I have lost 14 pounds. I track everything I eat and drink. I have had a few times of going out with friends and having a few drinks. I log them. It has put me over my calorie count somedays. I…

Check out my food log if you like. I also have a 1200 calorie goal. However, my exercise usually raises it 400-800 calories a day. I usually consume around 1500 calories a day. I work night shift so some days my food is a little off. I am never hungry. However, I drink plenty of water (don't always log it though). I think…

My gym has a scale in the locker room right by the shower entrance. Therefore, it is hard not to step on it everytime I walk past it. However, I only record my weight once a week, usually Fridays.

Chic fil A has some good salad choices. My favorite is the Chargrilled Chicken Salad w/Berry Balsalmic Dressing (340 calories total).

A womens vitamin w/B complex will help w/energy. The melatonin for sleep is a must (but you have to be able to sleep at least 6-8 hours or don't take it). I rest so much better when I take my melatonin, which in turn makes me a happier camper at work...lol

The only time I have counted it I was sweating while cleaning. I think that should count!

You've done great! I am looking forward to similar results :)

Open :) Feel free to take a look, mostly good choices but I'm honest so if I eat it, it goes in the diary. Stacy

I work 7p-7a also. I have changed my meals from "breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks" to 4hr time frames (0000-0400, 0400-0800, etc). I log whatever I eat as I eat it, no matter the time. So, when I look at my food (calorie) diet occassionally I have days that have almost no calories (usually my first day back). However,…

I am a little late posting as well, but... last week 180 this week 178

I know you can do it. In just the first 21 days of being on here (and being 100% committed to documenting everything I eat and exercise), I have lost 12 pounds. Having the calories, protein, carbs, etc displayed everyday really keeps me in line. Then if I want to eat something a little over my calorie intake, I know I have…

Keep up the good work :) and I am so glad I know what NSV is now...lol (I was clueless)

You guys are awesome! It is so great to have a group of people out there encouraging me. I am still on track for my fitness and doing my best in every day life to preserve or persevere...

5'6" 180lbs US size 10 pants Medium tops Looking forward to wearing my size 8's that have been in my drawer for 2 years!

Guess what? I hadn't done laundry yesterday either and had to put on a scrub top that I can't stand to wear b/c it is too tight in the chest. It is loose!!! I have lost 10 lbs and of course it comes off my chest first...lol...

Ok, I'm in. Let's get to burnin' some fat! Current weight: 180 May 1st: 170 (or less!)

I run (ok, jog) every now and then. I like to run. I did my first 1/2 marathon last fall. Unfortunately, my hip joints don't like me to run too often. However, this morning (after working a 12 hour night shift) I am doing a 5k. Here's hoping I still have the energy after working all night.

I won and "Honorable Mention" and lots of goodies from the National Parks Foundation for a picture that I took of a moose drinking water :)

I also work 7p-7a 3-4 shifts/week in a hospital. Our cafeteria is open at night. However, I find that I do better when I bring my own food (portion control and calorie control). I usually get up around 3pm and hit the gym before work, eat a good meal before work, then 2 small meals throughout my shift. After work, a glass…
