I am starting this thread so we can be each other's exercise/food accountablity buddies. I am also hoping it's a place where we CHEER each other on to VICTORY.
The idea is we post what we are eating (only if you want) and the exercise we are doing. Again you don't have to post what you eat, I just do it because I need to make myself accountable, as I have huge fat & sweet tooth. I LOVE ice cream. :D
So I will get the ball rolling. This is what I eat and the exercise I did today. I need to bring my calories down a few hundred, I am working on that though. I find the exercise makes me hunger all the time. If anyone knows how to help with that please let me know.

I teach at a school here in South Korea, so my breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack are usually always the same. At least this week they were.
B: whole wheat cereal with skim milk, banana, 190ml of orange juice
S#1: Dr. You Protein Bar
L: Turkey and swiss sandwich, yogurt, cucumber slices, pineapples slices
S#2: Cucumber slices, a small handful of almonds
D: Italian pasta: Whole wheat pasta, chicken breast, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, 1tsp olive oil, 3tsp parm. cheese.
Calorie total: 1835
Water Intake- 86 ounces
This was my plan yesterday and the same thing for today. I also always walk to and from work here on the island, and its about 15 minutes each way.
My exercise goals for next week are to try and hike the mountain nearby for 3days. It's about a 45 minute hike and overlooks the ocean once you reach the top. Not bad. I did it once this week already.
Good luck to everyone!!!

I'm not doing so great today. My work crowd went out for Mexican today, and though I got my usual of Chicken fajitas without any sides (just chicken, peppers & onions) which is pretty good, I did eat quite a few chips. I may end up going over a bit today, but it should all balance out throughout the week.

Don't feel bad well all go over from time to time, I overeat on Monday. You are right I think it does balance out. We are really just calorie cycling. :D

IgetfitNstrong4me--Man are you inspiring! You are like our teams little motivational bunny! Thanks!
Well, the day is not over yet, but figure I'd better post what I've ate for today and then just edit later. I reached a major goal today by getting into the 250s and also finally losing over 50 pounds, and I had promised myself a cheat day when those things happened. Not sure what it will be yet, but my check in later today might not have the best "diet" food, lol. Still planning on doing a huge workout tonight at the gym and will post that later too.
Bfast--LC ww tortilla with 1tb pb and a little fruit only (sweetened with fruit juice) jelly. 250
Organic NF yogurt 120
Lunch:
Veggie wrap made with ww flax flatbread, lite olive oil mayo, mustard, cucumber, 2 slices nf cheese, tomato, pickle, 1/2 small avocado, sprouts. 450
Bowl sliced strawberries with agave: 150
Org garlic ww crackers, 100
Frozen yogurt 300
Few of DD's mini org choc chip cookies 30
Total: 1400
Okay, I thought about it and decided not to really cheat. I was planning on pizza, but instead I have decided to just have some Ben and Jerrys NF frozen yogurt I have been saving in the freezer. Not something I normally eat, but not something that will put me thousands of calories over!

I try to shoot for ~1500 calories/day, but what I like best about the Lose It application is it shows you how you re doing for the week re if you are over/under weekly budget which helps with the calorie cycling.

What's it like being a vegan? I have given up beef and pork, I just eat fish, dairy, eggs and poultry. I love fermented tofu (Tempeh, Natto & Miso) but no so much regular tofu.
well since ive been vegan for a little while now it isnt that bad, it is hard to go out and eat in a small town and everyone thinks you starve, but i wouldnt be here if that were the situation lol. i havent had any of the fermented tofu before i like tofu in soups, stir frys, scrabbled! i want to try tempeh but just havent had the gutts, i know what i like... it was a hard long journey to figure it out but finally i have!!! o geee
well i never came back to say my exercise day before yesterday, but i did cardio for 30 mins burned 240 some odd calories and then did my ab workout and arms. ask for yesterday i got a little over 1500 calories in, and no exercise i have been tired working grave yard for the first time in a few weeks. it takes a lot out of me. and i think the same will happen today, i will get im sure around 1500 im at 1200 right now but i still have dinner with family... never a place i want to count calories lol. but no exercise today either but im going to try for double the work out tomorrow if i can... i know i can. just get a good nights rest today and im sure ill be dandy! everyone seems to be doing good! i cant wait til this starts i will be more accountable...i think. i know! lol. reassurance hehe.

I was eating tofu burgers for a while but I was gaining weight even though I was exercising and eating low calories. I found out that the tofu we eat here in America is not the same as the kind in Asia; we have unfermented soy, which mimics estrogen which affects some people like me. I now check the labels on everything; you wouldn't believe how much stuff has unfermented soy in it. But once I gave up unfermented soy I was fine and I have come to love the taste of fermented soy. Miso soup is one of my favorite things in the world now. I also found out that Fermented soy, has all these great antioxidants, so its win win.
BTW, Great Job on the eating and exercise! :carrot:

Hey Red Team. Shout out to all of you from South Korea this morning. I am slightly depressed this morning because I jumped on the scale after my official first week of calorie counting/exercise increase and I didn't lose anything. My scale didn't budge at all. I feel totally discouraged already but I'm definitely not giving up. I already posted my menu plans on here and everyone said they look great. I swear thats all I have been eating. I have also been getting 8-10 glasses of water in a day, plus my vitamins, fish oils, and garlic pills. I'm thinking maybe I just need to kick up the exercise another notch. Anyone have any ideas for at home exercise?
jessicado22
09-12-2009, 11:16 PM
I had the same problem with not losing weight while eating Americanized tofy products. I am a vegetarian, and when I started dieting awhile ago, I was eating only 1200 calories aday and exercising a bunch, yet the scale kept yo-yoing. I finally narrowed it down to my every other day lunch of tofu hot dogs. I only lost 2 pounds a week while eating them, and as soon as I cut out tofu, I started losing 5 or more pounds a week. I didn't make any other changes, so I know that has to be it. Which sucks, because I love the variety eating some of those fake meats gives you....but I like being skinnier better! I will have to try getting more into fermented soy now though, thanks Igetfitnstrong4me!
Well, today has been a tough day as my only car broke down on the side of the freeway...but going with the punches so far I guess. no exercise yet today (can't make it to the gym, lol and I have been too depressed to pull out the Wii or a DVD), but I have been doing good in the diet department:

steel cut oats with strawberries, agave and unsweetened applesauce 400
lunch/dinner
onion, cucumber, spinach sauteed with 3 eggs and topped with salsa, 1/2 avocado and 2 slices nf cheese 450
small salad with sprouts and lf dressing 75
garlic crackers 125
Total: 1050
Going to have a small fruit smoothie here in a second which will make my total about 1300 for the day.
Planning on doing 30 day shred here tonight and maybe some ST on the Wii. Will check back in later!
Shan--if you have a library you could check out some DVDs to work out too. Or you could download C25K to your mp3 player and try that if you have one (its free...and if you aren't up to running yet, you could try just fast paced walking for the running parts). Or I think your idea of those hikes is a good idea! Or if you don't have a library there, and you're an illegal pirate like me you can download workout video torrents and just use those for free. I personally like the Biggest Loser workout videos as the people working out aren't all skin and bones to make you feel more self conscious. Plus if you watched the series, then you are familiar with the people and knowing the transformations they made is inspiring to stick with it. Plus Bob is really nice and gives you options if you can't keep up. Not sure what resources there are there in South Korea, so sorry I can't be of more help!

Hey Jessica,
Thanks for the suggestions. I "might be" a pirate. Haha. Where do you find the Biggest Loser videos online? Also, what is the C25K and where do I find it? Thanks so much.

I had the same problem with not losing weight while eating Americanized tofy products. I am a vegetarian, and when I started dieting awhile ago, I was eating only 1200 calories aday and exercising a bunch, yet the scale kept yo-yoing. I finally narrowed it down to my every other day lunch of tofu hot dogs. I only lost 2 pounds a week while eating them, and as soon as I cut out tofu, I started losing 5 or more pounds a week. I didn't make any other changes, so I know that has to be it. Which sucks, because I love the variety eating some of those fake meats gives you....but I like being skinnier better! I will have to try getting more into fermented soy now though, thanks Igetfitnstrong4me!

Jessicado22 - Sorry about your car that sucks! But great job on your food and doing a Wii workout, that's fantastic! Yeah I was bummed because as you said the variety of tofu products are great, but leave it to corporate America to screw up a great natural food. I think you will love the fermented tofu it's very good. They have an Asian market near me, they seem to have the most variety.
Hey Red Team. Shout out to all of you from South Korea this morning. I am slightly depressed this morning because I jumped on the scale after my official first week of calorie counting/exercise increase and I didn't lose anything. My scale didn't budge at all. I feel totally discouraged already but I'm definitely not giving up. I already posted my menu plans on here and everyone said they look great. I swear thats all I have been eating. I have also been getting 8-10 glasses of water in a day, plus my vitamins, fish oils, and garlic pills. I'm thinking maybe I just need to kick up the exercise another notch. Anyone have any ideas for at home exercise?
Shan84 - Don't get discourage :hug:, we all have weeks were the scale won't budge and we have kill it with our diet and exercise. You may be retaining water, I become the puff monster near my cycle or if I eat too much salt. I can gain as much as 10 pounds. Well I only workout at home I use a recumberment stationary bike for cardio, it's easy on the joints and it is giving me great legs and bottom. Do you have a place where you can walk outside or can you get a stationary bike or treadmill? I do think stationary bikes are cheaper. Please don't give up, because you are worth it really you are. You can take back your health and life, I know you can.

I'm following the Slimming World regime.
All About Sliming World
What Is Slimming World Food Optimising?
The diet claims that with Food Optimising, you lose weight without hunger. At the beginning of each day the dieter decides if they will be on a green or original day. The system is based on green days having unlimited carbohydrate and limited protein. On a original day the dieters can have unlimited protein and small amounts of carbohydrate. All vegetables are free on Green days, on Red days all are free except potato and similar root veggies. All fruit is free on both Green and Red days.
On a red day 2 selections of a dairy and a fibre have to be eaten. these inclue for example 2 slices of wholemeal bread, and a pint of skimmed milk, brown rice and laughing cow chees triangles. On a green day the fibre selection is changed into a protein one.
The Diet has sins which the dieter can have between 5-15 a day. Sins are Slimming World's effective alternative to calorie and fat counting or WW points. Sins are designed to make sure you can have a small amount of your favorite foods every day. All food that isn't Free has a Sin value.
How Does It Work?
Food Optimising takes account of a food's energy density, its health-giving properties, its ability to satisfy the appetite quickly and its ability to keep us feeling full longer. Using these principles, Food Optimising creates an energy (calorie) deficit which causes the body to draw on its own stores of body fat and convert this to energy. With a sin limit on all high fat or sugary foods this keeps down dierters intake of calories and situated fat.
How Much Weight Do You Lose?
A steady weight loss of 1 to 2lbs per week is recommended by the government health guidelines however people with a lot of weight to lose may have more rapid weight losses in the first few weeks.
Are There Any Possible Side Effects?
Because of the unlimited food some dieters found what when they eventually came off the diet they were accustomed to eating large amounts food. Consequently they put weight back on rapidly if they didn't stick to the diet. Apart from this no other side effects were noted.
I know it sounds complicated but it isn't it just I'm terrible at explaining.

Hey everyone.
My calories yesterday were way to low. I'm supposed to be getting in between 1900-2100/day.
Yesterday I ate all healthy food but only made 1300 calories due to a lack of food in the house. I went grocery shopping last night though so I am now on target for the rest of the week.
Here is my food plan for today (Tuesday) in SK:
B: whole wheat cereal w/ skim milk w/ banana and 190mL of orange juice
S: Dr. You protein bar
L: Tomato salad, lemon and garlic dressing, yogurt, grapes, Dr. You fiber crackers
S: Dr. You Fruit and Nut bar
D: Stir Fry beef with VEGGIES!!
Roughly 1750calories.

Hey everyone! Well I didn't do bad today with food, but I didn't do too good either. I previously have counted calories, but have now decided to give weight watchers points a try (but I am not actually joining WW, just doing it on my own). I am supposed to have 24 pts per day (when I counted calories my range was 1200-1500).
So I went 5 pts over, but when I look at my calories I'm within range.
As for exercise, we just got an elliptical for $20 from my Aunt. This morning I did 15 minutes on it and burned approx. 177 calories. I'm planning on doing another 15-20 minutes tonight before going to bed. Hope everyone had a good day!

Since I didn't do any exercise yesterday, I am going to walk 60 minutes today instead of my usual 40. That way it will only take me a couple of days to catch up.

Hey Mel. Good job on the steps. Thats such a high number! I'm loving SK. I actually live on an island off of the southern tip of SK. It's about an hour to the mainland by ferry. My weeks are pretty repetitive but I like having the routine. I teach M-F 8:30am-5:00pm and I spend the weekends relaxing and exploring the island. I live right on the beach so that was a big draw originally too. I actually came to SK 7 months ago, but lost my first job when the school closed. I've been with this job now for 3 months almost.
Sorry for the long answer. :)

Well I didn't do too good today at all. Breakfast started out okay. I had 1 banana (2 pts), and 1 90 calorie strawberry bar (1 pt). I had to eat an early lunch today, at 10 am, and had Subway. I ate a 6" turkey breast sandwich on wheat with american cheese (5 pts), but I also had 1.5 chocolate chip cookies with it (8 pts.). I then got hungry around 3 and my boyfriend ended up getting Taco Bell so I had a Nacho Belle Grande with just meat and cheese (17 PTS!). That was my biggest mistake with food today. Then while watching the biggest loser I had some baked fries and one homemade taco (not sure the points on this one). The other bad thing is when I went to exercise we realized that something came loose inside the elliptical so I can't use it until my dad fixes it. I ended up spending some much needed time on homework instead of exercising. The only good thing about today is I drank plenty of water.
I WILL be better tomorrow!

Just in case anyone hasn't figured it out, I'm posing my plan in italics, and then I come back and bold what I actually did.
Early Breakfast - 1c Total Cinnamon & 1c 2% milk - 310 calories

That is horrible! I can hardly bear to post it. I knew today was going to be bad with the cake at work and pizza for dinner, so I ate a bit lighter the last two days, but why did I eat a second breakfast?!?!? Ugh! Fortunately I am still under my average of 1500 per day, but I'm still not happy with myself.

Hello everyone. Today was a much better day as far as food goes. I even woke up to a 1 lb loss, even with the bad stuff I ate yesterday! I've decided that the strategy I'm going to use for this challenge is a mixture of WW points and counting calories. When I go by points throughout the day I tend to eat less. But I have been going over by about 4 pts per day, but still staying in my calorie range. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
1 packet of High Fiber Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal -- 3 pts (160 cal)
Dinner:
1 McDonalds Chipolte BBQ Crispy Chicken Wrap (was supposed to be grilled but they got my order wrong) -- 8 pts (330 cal)
1 McDonalds Fruit and Walnut Salad -- 4 pts (210 cal)
Totals: 28 pts; 1330 calories

7200 Aerobic steps (67 min walking)
total steps 20256
Thursday here in SK was good for me. I did a 15 minute exercise video at work in our auditorium because we didn't have classes today and I was slightly bored.
Breakfast, Snacks, and Lunch only came to 900 calories. SO I allowed myself to go out to dinner with my coteachers for some Korean food. Had salad/grass type stuff, pork loin, kimchi, lettuce leaves, and only 6 oz beer and a few shots of soju. Regardless, I did still stay under my 2100 calorie limit.
I did get all my water intake in today because after dinner we went to a local bar, and instead of drinking more alcohol I just had two glasses of water.
Anyways, hope everyone has a great Thursday wherever you are. Its almost Friday here! I start teaching a "mommy and me" class tomorrow for Korean parents and their younger children. Should be a fun trial run tomorrow with one class in the morning.

Happy Friday to everyone! I was disappointed this morning when I stepped on the scale to take a sneak peak at how I was doing this week. I think my Korean food night out last night with my teachers was the culprit. So tonight when everyone decided to go out drinking, I passed and decided to stay in. I know I didn't have to, and I could have gone out and drank water, but I'm just not in the mood.
Sorry for the vent ladies but being in a country where I have no one to talk to about whats going on, especially because no one would understand the language I am speaking, that leaves....YOU ALL! :) :)
Anyways, I taught my first Mommy and Me class today at our elementary school. It was a ton of fun and a great workout. I'm totally counting it as part of my exercise. I was running around with the kids, playing jumping games, and acting out animal movements. I worked up a HUGE sweat by the time the class was over.
I also sticked to my calorie count today and went with 1900 of my 2100 allowance.
I'm praying so hard for a good weigh in on Sunday. This makes my second weigh in on my new lifestyle/diet change. The first week as you may remember I didn't lose anything, so I was hoping for a decent loss this week so I have something to show for myself. To prove to myself I really can do it.
Plus, I REALLY want to see the Red Team kick butt! :)

Thanks Mel & MonteCristo for the words of encouragement. I am just feeling badly that I cheated, right before a weigh, it was self-defeating. I really don't want to let my teammates down or myself. BTW congrats ZooChick777 on your weight loss.

We're all in this together- support is so important- especially if those around us don't understand the how & why of our lifestyle change!
Today I ate 1,562 calories (51 over budget), but overall doing well for the week. TOM came today, so I hope the scale will be forgiving for weigh in on Monday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I met my week one exercise challenge today + an additional 269 minutes. Spent the day hiking to a waterfall, and visiting and touring the POW camp from during the Korean War. Stayed on target with my calories all day and got all my water in. Tomorrow is my weigh in day so I felt like today was my last chance workout. We shall see how it affected my body. I'm kinda bummed about this next week because it will be TOM and I just hope it doesn't affect my weight too much. Tomorrow I celebrate a clean 2 weeks on my new lifestyle with no major mishaps!
Sorry I haven't checked in I have been very ill with a high fever. Feeling so much better today. I see everyone (KimL1214, Shan84, MonteCristo, CanadaMel & Zoochick) is sticking with the program!

Hope everyone has a good Monday. I didn't get any exercise in today because of TOM...its really slowing me down. :( I ate 1,697 calories today of the 2100 I should be consuming. I decided to drop the number down for most of this week and see how I do. Hoping not to have too much of a gain because of my stupid TOM. More than anything its just making me really pissy. Haha. Work dragged on forever today and I thought every student I had reminded me of the devil. (Just teasing!) Hope everyone has a great Monday as I head off to sleep in anticipation of Tuesday here in SK.

Hi everyone. This challenge is really big and I'm overwhelmed by all the posts, but thought I needed to post in this thread today.
I missed my workout. :-\
I workout every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday with classes at my school's rec center. I take Step and Kickboxing classes for the most part and also some core and strength stuff.
I'm in grad school, and I worked really hard all weekend on a paper that was due this morning so I was tired. I got through the day- worked 7 hours, went to class and had a few meetings, and I just couldn't go to the gym for my class tonight. I felt pretty run down and just plain horrible,l but now I'm just feeling plain guilty.
What do you do when you miss a workout? I'll try to get one in tomorrow, but my Wednesdays are long days as I work all day and have a night class.
Help keep me accountable!

Hey all. So here is my food today:
B: Whole wheat cereal w/ banana, low fat milk
L: Lettuce roll ups with turkey, mustard, and 1 slice of swiss cheese, yogurt, pineapple slices
S: Dr. You granolar bar
D: Whole wheat spaghetti with lean turkey, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms
Looking at roughly 1400 calories for today.
I'm also SO SO SO excited because I asked my mom (who is living back home in the states) to order a special gift for me and send it here to SK. I asked her for the Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies dvd set. SO SO SO Excited!!!

IgetfitNStrongforme - Thanks! I try to stay on plan. I know that I don't make the best choices for eating (cocoa pebbles?) but I've tried to do more "diety" plans before and I just can't stick to them. Straight calories in vs calories out is all I can manage! ;)
nbrown7384 - When I miss a workout I do one of two things. Either I just forget about it and move on, or I try to make up the lost time in the rest of my workouts that week. Usually if I miss a workout for what I would consider a legitimate reason (and I would consider your situation to fall into that category) then I would just move on and not worry about it, though I might try to eat a bit lighter the next day (say knock off 150 calories or so). If I just miss it because I was being lazy, or I decided to go goof off instead of working out, then I try to reclaim the lost workout time throughout the rest of the week, but I never carry missed workouts into the next week. Each week starts fresh.
To all the rest of our Red Team Keep up the good work!! :D

Can you explain to me how WATP works? Do you watch the video while walking on the treadmill, or do you walk in place?

09-23-2009, 10:54 AM
I really don't know too much about it to be honest. I kept reading about it on this site in the exercise forum so I decided to youtube search it tonight. Randomly came across the 2 mile video in three parts, and thought, "Why not now?" Basically in the one that I watched/participated in was pretty basic but lots of fast paced stuff. NO treadmill needed!!! She takes you through brisk walking, side steps, kicks, knee lifts, and some other arm stretches while walking at the same time. I have to say, I have been trying out several new videos just trying to find what works best for me, and so far this is my favorite. I like that I can actually keep up despite how heavy in weight I am right now.

Happy Saturday everyone! Well to be honest my calorie intake is really low today due to a lack of food in the house and payday isn't until Wednesday. Don't get me wrong there is food, but not food for me to be eating to stay on plan. Anyways, I did a last chance workout today since tomorrow morning is my weigh in time. I did 20 mins of stretching and strength training followed by the WATP 2 mile video. I am SO proud of myself no matter what number I pull tomorrow because I actually walked 6 miles this week!!!! Who knew? NOT ME!!! :)

I've managed to do pretty well myself. I've been eating pretty good and will have exercise 5/7 days. I was going for 6/7 but 5 days is better than what I was doing a month ago.

Saturday - Total calories 2170 ( :cry: ), exercised for 50 minutes burning 359 calories
Sunday - Total calories 1871 ( :( ), exercised for 120 minutes, burning 713 calories
So for the whole week I averaged 1596 calories consumed per day ( :( ), and I exercised an average of 357 calories burned ( :D ). According to calculations I should have lost 1.01 pounds and I ended up losing 1.2, so I'm pretty happy with my results. :carrot:

Hey all. Well, bad news today, I went over on my calories by roughly 350. (I think). Here is what I ate today:
B: Nothing
S: Nothing
L: 1/4 cup cucumber slices, 1/2 cup kimchi (pickled cabbage), 1/4 cup beef sausage, 1 orange juice
S: Nothing
D: 1 personal small pizza (onion, peppers, sweet potato, corn, and cheese :()
S: 1 bagel with cream cheese, 1 banana
I know today was going to be a problem day because I didn't have any food left at the house. So by the time I went to dinner I was ready for the extra calories in the pizza. But, I kinda messed it up even more when I ate the bagel later tonight. Kinda bummed, but I'm ready to move on. I know I can do better than that, because I deserve better than that.
So here is my plan for tomorrow:
B: Cereal w/ milk and banana, 190ml orange juice
S: Whole wheat crackers, 1 slice swiss cheese
L: Quiznos chicken sub 6 inch
S: Grape tomatoes and pineapple chunks
D: Black bean salad
Also plan on doing a WATP video tomorrow night (Thursday) here in SK.
I had no extra exercise today other than walking to and from work and walking around in the shopping mall tonight. Boo!
Hope everyone else is doing better than me.

Okay, so I sort of blew the weekend. Didn't exercise at all, and I ate a lot of very (VERY) salty stuff, so I'm having to use my first freebie.......and I'm not happy about it. I was doing so well before my vacation this summer, and now I just can't get back in the groove. I think it is that I'm just not "that big" anymore, so it is harder to see why I need to get smaller when I'm being faced with a peanut butter cup. ;) But I'm going to really try and kick it back in gear this week.

MonteCristo: Hey don't beat yourself up, did you see the 840 calories I posted yesterday that was 3 chocolate bars I had for dinner! So you ate some crappy stuff you'll do better today as will I. I bet you are right it is water retention, TOM always makes me gain 5-10, if I don't use that tea mixture. :hug:
Shan84: I would bring dinner with you because you are going to be so hungry and tempted to cheat when you get home. And a big CONGRATS on your 4.5lbs weight loss! :woohoo:

Well they say 3 serving of dairy a day help shrink the waist. That is why I eat three a day. I eat way more then you and I am still losing. Did I ever tell you the mistake I made 3 years ago, I lowered my calories to 500 -700 a day sure I lost weight but as soon as I started to eat normal I gained it all back plus 20 more. I don't think it was too much cheese. I feel like you could eat a more, but that's just me. I think at your weight doing nothing, just breathing you probably burn around 3000 calories a day. You could eat around 2000 calories and weight would fly off of you. I don't know what your calories are so just say shut it if I am off.... :hug:

Igetfit- For my weight I am supposed to be eating 1800-2100 calories a day. Usually I can barely get in 1400. So I have been zigzagging a little. Some days I hit 1400, 1600, 1900. I guess its working so far because I have had steady weight loss. But I totally understand what your saying. Also on a side note, I only get paid once a month here in SK, so you might notice towards the end of the month when money is super tight, my eating is not quite what it should be in terms of volume. I have high student loans I have been paying on the past 2 months and they have put a big chunk in my grocery money. But, only one more high payment and it will be lowered by a good $300, and that will be $300 more for me to spend on groceries or whatever.
That being said, thanks for your comments. They are always welcome.

B: cereal w/ milk,

Oh honey I am sorry, I feel your pain my friend, I took a two year deferment on my student loans. I only have $355 a month for food and eating healthy is so expense. If you notice I eat the same things over and over again because it's cheaper and I make big batches and freeze it, like my chili. I have raspberries this week because they were on sale for .99 cents a pint, I bought 3 pints. LOL I measure everything not just for calories but to make it last longer.

D: Our company boss told everyone today that he is taking us out for dinner. So I will come back tomorrow night and edit what I ended up having. Knowing where I live and the people I work with, it will probably be Korean food which means I will be able to have a high calorie count of many vegetables and some good protein.
**Note to self: I will NOT indulge in drinking anything but water tomorrow night. In Korea, it is custom to drink with your bosses and often frowned upon if you do not. If nothing else, I will pretend tomorrow but I will not touch any alcohol.

I did it for a while, and I'm sure that if I had kept going it would have helped, but I don't like exercise videos, and Jillian's are killers. The first time I did it I couldn't even do everything, and I was sore for a week!

I'm 'unofficially' here to support the RED team ;) And wanted to join in.....
My hubby is a starting out personal trainer (just finished his course, and currently deployed) - and he's designed a calorie/workout plan for me.....so here goes ;)
I'm allowed 1782 calories on training (workout) days - which is Mon-Fri right now. Today, I at 1747 (so was on plan for today).
Today was a cardio day - I did the WATP 5 fat burning miles dvd (65 minutes=5 miles) - which I think, for me, would be about 600-750 calorie burn (I had a HRM for other watp workouts, but hubby is mailing mine back to me right now, so waiting on the mailman to bring it - so I can know for sure what calorie burn I get with teh new workout).
Thanks for letting me jump in - i like the support of the team and need the accountability ;) I'm hoping to join the next challenge.

Have been working hard to get my calories down to 1200 a day.
Are you sure that is a good idea? 1200 is the absolute minimum that is suppose to be healthy (unless you are under the immediate supervision of a physician), and you are not a small person. At 5'8" I really think you need to eat more than that. What will you do if you hit a plateau? At your height and weight (don't know your age, so I plugged in 30), your body needs 1613 calories to stay alive if all you do is lie in bed all day.

Yeah because I can't exercise they way I am use to, I need to create a calorie deficit larger then normal. As you saw I didn’t lose anything this week because the calorie deficit I create with exercise was not there as before. Jillian Michaels says in her books you can go down to 1200 and it will be okay. I mean all the female contestants on TBL do it and they are burning 6000 calories from exercise a day. I am just sitting around on my butt praying and reading. If I weighed 50-100 pounds more I would probably go to 1500 but I not, so I think I will be fine. Thanks for being concerned my friend. :hug:

I didn't realize that your calorie drop was just for the duration of the retreat. That makes much more sense, and makes me feel a lot better. I just don't want anything to happen to you!

I feel like I'm behind a day, with everyone posting for Friday. I know Shan is in S. Korea, so gets a jump on the sun, but I thought IGetFit was here? Have I totally spaced out and not realize you were also in the far east?

No problem! I've been kind of off kilter today, and I was beginning to think I was the most unobservant person ever!! :p
