Feeling like I'm in control again! A BIG thank you to Amarantha for this thread....it's working!!

Since Good Friday is a holiday in Canada, I am free from work and able to get my treadmill time in early. *yippeee*

[Amarantha2]

Fly-by me-me post to report I've completed 21 gym days (not consecutive 'cause there be no Sundays)! Will be back with full report anon! In meantime, I'm focusing on this guy:



P.S. The week be almost over and thanks be to all for participating, 'cause I'd be off it by now for sure if thou all hadn't!

[Wildfire]

Day five, almost done! Calories for the day at 1507 (after treadmill).

Just two more days, then I'll weigh in and see what Demon Scale thinks about all this!

Hoping for a lowish cal day to round out the week but will be happy just sticking to the challenge. Will post a new week tomorrow for anyone who wants to do this again ... a new thread sweeps clean ... brief, on topic and HOORAH, OVER AND OUT, CAMPERS!!!

Let's keep this guy in mind in case we're tempted to go OP Saturday:

Thanks aramantha -

day 6 nearly over and I have even survived a dinner party and a night at my folks house. I have lost about 3 lbs and am felling really great.

Things are starting to come together.

[Wildfire]

Squeaking by on Day 6! Had a fast-food encounter at lunch but saved the day with salad for supper.

Will weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm re-starting tomorrow, counting it as Day One because I started this week a day late.

Hope to report good results, and hear about all of yours!

[Amarantha2]

Forgot I had one more report for this week! Will start a new thread tomorrow with a Demon Scale update and new goals!

My Report on Day Six/Saturday

Calories 2030, Met Challenge? No (Do we want to hear my excuse for this? Heck, no!)

Exercise: Went to Gym? Yes

Gym Days Since Joined: 22

Average calories for the seven days: 1899

Challenge Hits: 12/Challenge Misses: 2

Can I give 100 percent to the next week's challenge?

See motto below!!!!

[Wildfire]

I am reporting an official loss of 3lbs for the first One-Week Challenge! (And yes, I did the obligatory three weigh-ins in different areas of the bathrooms to make sure the digital demon scale didn't vary!)

Average calories eaten for the week were 1559 (not deducting what was burned in exercise). I need to work on getting more protein in, as the average was 18%. Mygoal for this week was to keep the carbs around 50%. Carbs are my safe foods with my gut problems, and I can easily eat nothing but bread, pasta, etc. if I don't pay attention. Average carbs for the past week came in at 45%!

I'm calling this week a success, and looking forward to a brand new week!

Wildfire, You're the queen! 3 pounds! How cool is this?

I'm starting again tomorrow too. I have a busy week ahead and will be surrounded by food but I can do this--I HAVE to do this!
Where's my wand?

[Amarantha2]

Yo Wildfire, WTG!!! Have a banana! Have three!

to all! The hath started a new thread ... I think I shall paste Wildfire's final report over there as well, if that's ok?

[Amarantha2]

Morrigan also reported a 3-pound loss above! Woo-hoo and WTG to Morrigan!

Morrigan: I'm reposting yours on the other thread as well, if that's ok?
