YEAH ME!!! A group wanted to go out for lunch and go to this fast food Chinese place. We used to go quite a bit, but this time I chose Subway and had a good lunch instead of the 10 million calories I could have had! It is all about celebrating the small wins!!

what is your starting weight so i can add you to the tracking sheet?

My wife is in the same boat and it boiled down to pure math for her... you need to lose 3,500 calories a week for 1 pound on the scale. So if you are eating 1,200 calories and your base usage is 1,500 calories you have created a 300 calorie per day deficit. So... without working out or anything you are on pace to lose 1…

yeah that is the plan... i am using excel though and it does not transfer to here nicely so i am looking for options to put the chart up...

Coach of my oldest son's hockey team and we have a practice so it gets me skating for about an hour... good workout. Just keeping those calories right where they should be!!

got ya

Got ya

PS if you know a better way to get the schedule in please let me know...

Hey everyone, I am in (though I don't know if I have 50 left). I have also started a tracking schedule: Nov-01 Bainos 263 lornawalker 168 Skinnyby29 297.8 adkwatergal 190 FitMiss 232 justinswife 187.4 lbirch01 180.8 BK120 169.5 breannk 184 Jessifer123 199.5 AmandaR910 217.2 MartyDiller 209.4 Billybed 215 sdb903 198.9…

Right but if entering your goals you tell it that you are going to work out 5 days a week 45 min a session it may move your calories from 1200 to 1500... thus it is already taking it into account so when you work out and the system show you get 300 calories from working out you cannot eat those since the system has already…

when you set your goal put in that you are not working out at all. THat will give you the eating calories you need to get the 2lbs a week off. Then if you work out, you eat those calories so that you net out to the same place as if you did not work out. This took me awhile to figure out. If you put in a workout amount then…

Have you reset your goals, MFP does not recalculate your dietary calorie needs as you lose weight. You need to go into the goals section and update it then see what the calories you should be eating are... I just had to do this after losing 23 pounds and it made me lower my calories... hope this helps

that makes more sense... thanks

Mrs Dash - there are lots of different types to keep it new...

OMG I just started crying I was laughing so hard at this one... man what people think of...

You look great... Btw, how do people get their ticker to show up in their posts?

Just survive this first week, it is the toughest and then things will get easier I promise!!

I have lost the tire so far with at least another tire to go
