2. I will walk 50 - 100 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I want to get to about 1750 this month. Last month I got to 1695. My highest month ever was 1730 in July.
3. I will be calorie counting. Most days will be 1600-1800, with maybe two bad days no higher than 2000.

1. 214

2. Gym 3-4 times a week, walking my dog for longer in the evenings and on weekday mornings too.

3. Mainly low fat, calorie counting diet, though I will be pulling stuff from the Weight Watchers diet that I did last year.


First day of the diet for me today. Spent 70 minutes at the gym today, mostly working on cardiovascular exercise. Then took the dog out for an hour.

I started the day with porridge (oatmeal), had a cheese (reduced fat) and onion sandwich for lunch with a caramel rice cake - then I have just had my dinner, lean beef in gravy with a jacket potato and loads of veg.

Tonight I have a treat of a WW carrot cake with a cup of tea! Is it sad that I am excited by this?!!

Feeling pretty good so far!

Sounds good ladies! I am on Ca time so I will report later tonite. Everyone feel free to join us!! I wanted to add for some of you who are new and have not heard about fitday.com, to check it out. I lost 50 pounds on my own thru hit and miss basically then after one month of hitting a plateau, (August) decided that I needed to work on my portion sizes and to start counting calories. I started that and have gone from bouncing between 238-236 to getting down to 229 now in a month! Counting calories really helps cause you see how much everything really does add up. Plus fitday also has in there fats, carbs and vitamins + calories etc so you can keep better track of what you are intaking daily. I found it a few days ago and I love it!

[chrissym]

I will be doing at least one hour of cardio per day and weights on alternate days. I will try to keep my cals around 1200 and I will eat balanced meals and balanced snacks. I agree. Fitday is my accountability page.
