I'm the same height, but a few lbs heavier than you and MFP has my daily cal goal set at 1330/day (2 lb loss/wk). Even without exercise I've been losing steadily when I stick to my cal goal. I have crazy friends so I don't tell them what my cal goal is for fear that they'll start in on me, LOL!

Checking in from work tonight. I've been resisting the urge to eat a slice of the pumpkin cheesecake my husband made a few days ago. I wanted one yesterday, but it would have sent me waaay over my cal goal (I ended up going over a little anyways) and then today I wanted one, but didn't want to have to log the cals it would…

momtofour - I know how frustrating it can be to be stuck at the same weight for weeks on end. I can't see your food diary, but have you been switching up what you eat? Sometimes if you eat the same things for every meal (i.e. breakfast) then your body gets "stuck". Sometimes if you just switch up your foods that's enough…

Whaddya know. I want 199, too. I'll chant with ya'll as well. 199, 199, 199, 199, 199, 199

202 even for me this morning. No complaints here! I can't get the chart to show either, sorry Denise.

Good luck in future endeavors, porterbaby. I've logged my foods for 2 days now and I'm almost back to my 64oz of H2O/day. Slow and steady. I forgot what a PITA weighing and measuring food is!

Holding myself accountable again. Weighed in at 205 today. Not as bad as I thought it would be. :smile: My2Loves04and06's (Trace) Weigh ins: Nov 1: 202.6 Nov 8: 201.4 Nov 15: N/A Nov 22: N/A Nov 29: 205.0 Dec 6: Dec 13: Dec 20: Dec 27: Jan 3: (goal: 194 - halfway to goal weight)

I'm here. Time to confess. I've been MAJORLY slacking. Not just with exercising, which I haven't done in nearly 7 weeks since I hurt my ankle, but in eating, too. I can't remember the last time I tracked my food OR drank 64oz of H2O. I've been trying to get my H2O intake back up to par bc I know that makes a bit of a…

I'm still reading daily. I skipped weighing in this week. I just wasn't feeling the love and I don't need to be discouraged right now when I'm so close to ONEderland.

I saw that vkp posted on her profile a day or so ago about someone (family maybe?) being moved from the hospital to hospice care, so I bet she's been tied up with other things and just hasn't weighed in yet. I didn't see a new weight reported on her profile, either.

Hmm, not sure why it posed my last post twice. Anywho, hope everyone has a successful week!

Robyn - I love that we have the same goal weight for early Jan! :glasses:

Hahaha, Denise! Game on! I'm not tracking my foods or exercising, but I'm still in the game. I'm not eating crappy and I'm watching portion sizes. I like that I'm still losing and and I don't have to be hardcore strict with logging/measuring, kwim? I'm down again this week to 201.4 (-1.2 lbs). Woot! Oh, and Happy 6th…

Congrats Denise on making your goal! Keep up the great work! I also hit a milestone today. Nothing weight-wise, but I was able to wear a dress for my daughter's bday party today that I haven't worn since my honeymoon almost 7 years ago! Woot woot!

Yes. :smile: Surprisingly, down 1.4 lbs since last week. My2Loves04and06's (Trace) Weigh ins: Nov 1: 202.6 Nov 8: Nov 15: Nov 22: Nov 29: Dec 6: Dec 13: Dec 20: Dec 27: Jan 3: (goal: 194 - halfway to goal weight)

Still here reading. I just don't have much to say since I'm still lacking motivation myself. My ankle doesn't seem to be healing properly, and I'm still not tracking cals. Pretty sure I'm up a few lbs. Argh. Work schedule had me on 3 days, off for 3 days and now I've got 1 more night tonight to top off 3 more on days.,…

I can't seem to catch a break! I now have bronchitits (thanks kids!) and all I do is cough, cough, cough. I woke up this afternoon with a stuffy head and a drippy nose so I think my sinuses have kicked in now too. I've just been feeling like death warmed over lately, which has me in a funk. I've not been diligently…

204 even for me. So up .06, I think? Not bad. Still working on healing my ankle. It's feeling better, but the ligaments are very stiff. I need to work on stretching those!

Hi all! Survived my 4 nights of work, although this afternoon I'm dragging @$$ despite getting 6 hrs of sleep today. I'll try and remember to weigh myself in the morning so I can report back. I think I've stayed pretty much the same weight (give or a take a few ounces) since I hurt my foot 2 weeks ago. Maintaining has…

Back to work for me tonight after a nice 7 day stretch off. I'm working 4 nights in a row, so if you don't hear from me you'll know why. It's not that I've fallen off the wagon! Still planning on updating my food diary via the android app. I wish there was a Complete button though so I can complete my diary each day w/out…

I've done better on my eating today. We won't talk about last night though. :blushing: Just realized I can enter Walking w/crutches as a cardio exercise, so that helps. Not holding out for a loss this week, and wouldn't be surprised to see a gain.

Denise - you're closing our gap! At this rate you'll pass me while I'm laid up. Go, go, go!

No break for my ankle! That being said, more than 1 medical person has told me that a severe sprain is worse healing-wise than a fracture or a break. Ugh. For now I'm in an aircast. I need to focus on getting my eating back on track. When all I can do is sit around most of the day I tend to "feel" like I need to eat, Tsk…

Well, I decided to head in and have my foot checked out tonight. Due to insurance reasons (which make NO sense to me), I have to go through the ER for xrays to be covered 100%. Stupid and I don't want to go through the ER (bc it's not a real emergency!), but whatever. Send me some good vibes!

I'm not giving up! I just decided not to make a new thread every week. We'll just post on this one from here until the end of the year. :smile: I won't be at my GW by 2011 either, so I'll be continuing this journey into the new year with the rest of you. Maintaining I can do, but I have to get there first!

Forgot to weigh in before eating this morning, so I guess I'll go with Saturday's weight of 203.4. Down 0.4 lbs from last week. Ho hum.

Final thread is up! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/127724-2011-new-year-new-me-final-thread

How do you upload a photo to a post? I want to post a pic of me from this time last year, and a current one.

Since we don't have many repliers any more, should we just keep going on this thread? Or I can start a new one and we can just use that one from here on out.

Spent almost 6 hours shopping today. Who knew shopping could burn so many calories? I should do it more often, LOL! For the first time in longer than I can remember, I actually enjoyed clothes shopping for myself. I bought things from The Gap, AE, etc, which is huge for me. I haven't shopped in those stores in, well, ever!…
