If you start the day with with being able to consume 1200 calories, then you exercise, your calorie allotment will go up. You are supposed to eat the 1200 plus whatever you exercise off. MFP will calculate all of that for you. You have to eat more when you exercise to keep your body fueled up and to not lose muscle tone.

Wow!!! You look great!!! Congrats!

This!! Hahaha I always weigh more on weigh-in day! Darn you gravity!

Yep, I know better. If I'm eating my calorie goal or less and exercising, I know I'll lose the weight. It just gets frustrating when you want to tell someone how much weight you've lost and you really don't know!

We have one bathroom, so I guess I have to play "hide the scale". LOL My hubby always yells at me for weighing myself that much but it's like an itch waiting to be scratched!

Yes, daily weighing drives me a little nuts but I can't stop! Haha

Another good idea.

This is a great idea, and yes, I am totally into that kind of thing. I like seeing trends like that.

Yep, I drink a ton too. I'm a naturally thirsty person. The other day I was 6 pounds heavier from all the water!

Maybe I just need my husband to hide the scale? Because I can't not weigh myself when the scale is right there. LOL

That app sounds like a good idea and so does taking averages. The reason I weigh myself every day is because I need motivation and with my Type A personality, need to see results yesterday. I don't get too discouraged with the fluctuations but I do get VERY happy when there is even the tiniest loss, which is why weighing…

Nope, that's actually a good question. But we did just change them when I started the whole process 2 weeks ago. Good idea though, thanks!

OK, let me put it this way: I have obviously lost weight because I've dropped inches. But how do I know how much if it fluctuates constantly? The whole "weigh yourself at the same time every day" isn't cutting it for me.

I guess that's the frustrating part for me though. Even weighing only once a week I may only be down a few ounces. But the day before I may have been down 2 pounds. See how off-putting this can be? I don't feel comfortable saying "I've lost X amount of weight" if the scale fluctuates so much. How do I know what to use…

I'm actually an obsessive weigher so I usually step on the scale 5-6 times a day. The main reason for me, though, is because I like to see my fluctuations and figure out what certain foods, water intake and exercise does to my weight. I'll usually take the weight from the morning, naked, after the bathroom and before I eat…

Much better than Janeane Garofolo. LOL I hate that people say that because in reality, we look different other than glasses/dark hair. YOU remind me of a young Kathie Lee Gifford!! Classy too!

I had to look at more pics but you kinda remind me of Ellie Goulding! I LOVE her! So pretty!

Pecs!

I don't have a ton of support from family like my mom. She's said some pretty awful things about my weight before and all they did was hurt instead of motivate. My husband, however, does encourage me and compliments what I'm doing. I find that in order to stay motivated, I have to keep thinking about being around and…

LOL you guys are so awesome. By cleaning, I didn't , mean your typical doing dishes. I meant hours of scrubbing floors, sweeping, mopping, using rub scrubber and vacuum multiple times, scrubbing walls and windows, lifting heavy furniture. I'm still at it actually. I've been sweating all day then went hard with Turbo Jam. I…

Wow, that's really helpful!!! Thank you so much!

Not all of them were burned. I think I had like 600 left before that. LOL And tell your hubby GO BILLS!!! EJ Manuel is gonna kick some butt in year 2!!! :) (Also, I've always liked the Bears. I spent 2 weeks in Chicago and fell in love with the city. My mom's a Packers fan so I've had to familiarize myself with that…

Me!! About 40 min south of Scranton...Waaay out in the country!!

Ahh, that's another idea. I have always had super, super low blood pressure and now that I'm working out, it may be even lower. I'm usually always cold to an extent too but lately it's gotten much worse. Did he say it's ok though?

I found the way to track iron. I have been short of the 100 goal by 30-60 every day. Maybe that is it? I have been anemic in the past before too...

I don't think eating enough is the issue, because I am. But the iron thing is something to think about. Can we track that on MFP?

I still did the workout. It just seems I was more out of breath. Decided to take a rest day today and heal up a bit. Maybe that's what I needed.

That's a good idea! I need some motivation on my fridge!

Technically I should have taken a rest day today but I didn't want to! The first week they have 3 scheduled days off and I think that's too much.

But 77 pounds lost!!! You go girl!
