Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't checked in for a while. We had some issues with our home internet (I could still log my food thanks to my smartphone, but I couldn't access the forums). But I should be back now, and will weigh in on Monday as usual. I've started a bit of weight training on top of cardio. It's fun, and it…

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS I RAN 2 MILES TODAY 10:41 FOR MY FIRST MILE 10:45 FOR MY SECOND THIS IS KIND OF A HUGE DEAL TO ME. I AM SO EXCITED I HAVE TO SHOUT EVERYTHING!

So I'm sitting here almost finished working. I'm tired, I have a HUGE headache. I ate a little too much this afternoon because my lunch ended up tasting HORRIBLE so I grabbed something from one of the places near by. I don't wanna go to the gym *pout* BUT I AM GOING TO. Because, gosh darnit, this is about the bigger…

As I've said a number of times here, I'm not…

Hey guys, Sorry I didn't weigh-in this week. I am so unbelievably disappointed and confused. Somehow, I'm up to 266 pounds. I haven't been this heavy in about 3 years. And I don't know how this is happening. I haven't been eating near enough to gain that much weight in such a short time. I don't know what to do.

Okay, so I'm putting this here for reference when I weigh-in tomorrow. -To maintain, I would need to eat roughly 16,800 calories a week. -This week, I have eaten 14,677 calories and burned another 1,682. -This means a deficit of 3805 calories, which SHOULD mean I've lost a tiny bit more than a pound. We'll see.

Hey guys, I'm so confused right now. I just did a kind of mid-week weigh in, and I'm UP 0.8 lbs. I just don't know how that's possible. Keep in mind, my maintenance calories are around 2400. On Monday, I ate 1500 calories, and burned 702. On Tuesday, I ate 1458 calories, and admittedly, didn't work out at all. On…

Hey guys, Thanks so much for the support. I'm feeling a bit better about things. I'm still sure that tomorrow's weigh in will be... well, shocking and upsetting, but I'm prepared for it. And this week is going to be awesome. I'm going to make sure it is, because feeling this crappy about things isn't fun. Eating crappy…

So, according to MFP: 2460 Maintenance Calories 1964 BMR496 deficit That would mean, eating 1964 calories a day, I'd lose roughly 1 lb a week. Usually I eat about 1600 calories a day, because that's what MFP suggested for me. So should I be eating 1964, and just exercising more? Is there a reason the deficit should never…

Hey guys, It's been a while since I posted anything because... well, things are pretty sucky right now. I had a plan for eating and exercising, and everything fell through. I've been eating horribly, and too much. I haven't been exercising AT ALL. And now I'm on my period, so I've got bloat and stupid cravings to boot. I…

Hey Tisha! You and I have the same starting weight and goal weight! Cool! Good job on your loss! I'm so worried about the weigh-in tomorrow. I think I probably didn't lose anything :(

First of all, thank you for the support! Unfortunately, I have a sit-down office-y type of job, so I do very, very little walking at work. So yeah, I need that gym membership, haha :P But thanks for the suggestion! I've been thinking of maybe leaving this job for one that is more physically active.

I'm going to do my best over the next couple of days, but I won't be surprised if I haven't lost any weight this week. But that's okay. Because from now on, I have... A PLAN. I know none of you actually know me, so you don't know how significant this is for me, but suffice to say, I am very much a…

Hey Amy (myh name is Amy too!) Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it's not the kind of stress that I can manage -- it's coming from changes to the company and stuff that I'm just not sure I'm okay with. I've come home sick today, so at least I have some breathing room, and I'm not doing too badly with my eating…

I'm not going to lie -- I'm really not off to a good start. Things have been unbelievably stressful at work, and I haven't been sleeping well, so I'm either too tired to work out or I just want to go home and forget about the day. But these can't be my excuses anymore if I want to change my lifestyle. My boss is one for…

Yay! I get to be a part after all! Name/ real name: Tealighttrees/Amy Current Weight: 261 Challenge Goal Weight: 235 04/09: 261 04/16: 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<<253>>> 05/14: 05/21: 05/28: 06/04: <<<244>>> 06/11: 06/18: 06/25: 07/02: <<<235>>>
