We are starting an accountability list of our daily calories. Keep track of your calories for all 7 days and report them Sunday night after your last meal. No skipping days. If you over-indulged, record it. Record the calories in your vitamins. Seeing it in print might stop us from taking that extra helping or making bad choices!

Weight...Your daily calorie goal was 1,100 calories and you averaged 1262 calories for week #1. Good Job!
Diamond Girl...your daily calorie goal was 1200 - 1500 and you averaged 1353 for week # 1. Good job also, especially since you had a PIZZA NIGHT in there.
Bobbi...My daily calorie goal was for 1200 calories and I averaged 1130 for week # 1.
It's really an incentive to see the numbers in print!
P.S. I lost 1/2 pound from week 1, but my signature scale doesn't show it.
Bobbi
hey guys! mind if I join? since I'll probably lose track, I hope it's okay if I post every day but keep editing the same post each week?
my goal for nov. 25 is 155 (it's my cousin's wedding and I'm a bridesmaid!!
oct. 3: not so good. 52 days and 7 lbs left to go. ate about 2400...eek! my goal is a net of 1000 - only burned 261 (so still a net of about 2150!). well, at least I likely didn't gain more than an ounce. we'll survive.
oct 4: the plan is to eat yummy cheerios and yogurt for breakfast, take a granola bar to work 12-4, then have a lean cuisine for dinner and more fruit for dessert. salad too if desired. NO CRAP at work or at rehearsal later! treadmill at night or between work and rehearsal if time allows!!!
You certainly can post everyday and it might encourage others to post more often. I have been scanning the F.F.Chicks food menus and see a trend for way too much fat (salad dressings is the biggest culprit) and not enough fiber. I only record my calories and fiber intake and it sure works for me. My weight loss has been steady and I owe it all to fiber intake and low calories dressings, fats, etc. I think it would be a good idea to have everyone post their daily fiber intake along with their daily calories (Or weekly, depending on how often you post). Make sure everyone gets at least 25 - 30 grams of fiber per day. This is quite easy, especially if you have a nutritional scale that measures calories and fiber. I know we're not suppose to advertise products on this post but I'll tell you what my hubby and I eat 5-6 mornings out of 7. (We splurge and have turkey bacon, eggs, etc. on Sunday mornings after church) I have a yogurt maker that makes 8 individual servings @ 50 calories each. I put fresh fruit in a bowl with 1/2 cup plain yogurt and 1 packet Splenda. Mix that up and top with 30 g. of Fiber One Cereal. (1/2 cup @ only 60 calories) Don't mix the cereal in, it stays crunchy that way. It is very filling and you get 14 GRAMS of fiber from the cereal alone, plus extra fiber from the fruit. I have a daily chart made up where I record everything by hand. I added a column for fiber and it's very handy. I'll see if I'm smart enough to copy paste my chart up if anyone wants to use it. I just averaged my last weeks fiber intake up and it was 34.21 grams per day. I'vd noticed lots more energy too!
Good Luck everyone, Bobbi
I just did a preview to see if my chart showed up, parts of it did. There are colums under each section where I pencil in my calories only and fiber. I can e-mail it to anyone that wants to use it. I don't have time to record every mouthful on my pc and this sits on my kitchen counter where I spend most of my time.
I would love to hear other reports on how fiber has helped us along with our rapid weight loss.
HI Everyone, Glad to see every one here. I just weighed in this morning, at a disasterious 128!!! That is so bad for me. I feel good at around 115. So I'm doubeling my effort to lose. Goals for me have to be something attaineable, like how many calories I eat a day or how much exercise I do, since non of us can predict what our bodies will do weight loss. My goal is to eat around 1200/1300 calories a day. Much less and the scale seems to stop on me. They say if you eat too little your body goes into starvation mode and tries to conserve every calorie. So it's slow and steady. My goal today is to ride my bike for half an hour this morning and go for a 1/2 hour walk this evening. My scale is just one that weighs the food, not the kind that does all the other stuff. NICE to have. I do try to get enough fiber, I think it's very important. If you find it hard to get enough from the food you eat you might want to get a supplement like Metamucil or one of the new onew, since they aren't as "gritty". My cereal is usually Kashi. Tastes great and has a lot of fiber too. I love yogurt too, and since I don't drink milk it's one way to get the needed calcium.
Slim Me, I was thinking about you this morning as our Minnesota temperate dipped to the 30's and you out walking in Michigan. They had snow and sleet in the Dakato's and it's all coming our way. You really are a tiny little thing aren't you. What weight did you start at and how much have you lost? It's always nice to hear about the ideal weight that makes YOU feel better. I've had people tell me I'm getting too thin, but I don't feel good at this weight. I'm so aware of my tummy sticking out and very self conscience about it. Why live life that way and I'd like to tell the busybodies of this world that they are not living in my body and don't know what it feels like to be in my body. Sorry, I'll get off the band wagon now! Looking forward to your Sunday posted calories for the week. Or post daily if you want!
Bobbi
HI Everyone, I know what you mean Bobbi, about body immage. But, I do have a problem with that. No matter how much I lose I still feel FAT. I know it takes awhile to adjust to your new body and the way you look. Before, (ok, years ago) I weighed 110. Every one told me I was too thin, and looking back now, they were right. I was BONEY! I wore a size 4. I'm only 5'1" so I can't carry a lot of weight. But now the 115 seems good to me. I can wear a size 6.
Greetings!

I Need To Work On Getting My Calories
Up For The Week, But My Fiber Is Working
For Me, Another Pound Dropped.
Looks like I averaged 1480, which is close to my BMI. Guess that explains why I didn't gain or lose this week. Okay everyone, give me all your bad attitude so I can be on track for this week
Hi Miles!
It looks like the few people that wanted to participate fell by the wayside.
But we can be accountable to each other. My calories for last week:
Calories *********** Fiber
Mon - 1,0137********** 49.24 grams
Tue - 1,081.6********** 37.03 grams
Wed - 998.9 ********** 35 grams
Thur - 1,126.6********** 33.3 grams
Fri - 905 (Ooops!)********* 28.37 grams
Sat - 1,169 ********* 31.18 grams
Sun - 1,090.4********* 22.5 grams
I fell short again on my calories, but I eat soooooo many vegetables that it puts my calories goal below what I should be eating. The good news is my fiber count, I don't think the food I eat has a chance grab onto my hips and tummy!
I'll be watching for you next week Miles and won't give you any tongue lashing this week. Be sure you're getting plenty of fiber in, it really helps.
Bobbi
Bobbi, would love to be having the problem of falling short. Weekends are killing me. Was sick this last week and didn't try as hard to stay on plan, but reporting anyways so that maybe the shame will keep me on track this coming week.
Good news I started using Fitday and am keeping track of my ratios as well as total calories consumed. I am managing to do pretty well on fat intake, but need to up my protein and decrease my carbs. Did not weight this week to see if there was a gain but it would not surprise me if I put on a lb or two. I will exercise more (hopefully, waiting on shoulder to heal) and eat better this week and than tempt fate next week. I know exactly what I need to do but doing it consistently is a struggle.
