Ok Chickies

I'm back off to the gym (curves) in a little bit. End of my first week and I am truly excited. I won't weight myself until tomorrow which will be the begining of my second week. Crazy that my clothes do NOT feel tight and I even started my stupid well you know monthly "woman" issue yesterday. I personally am NOT having any issue sticking with my 1200 calories a day. I eat ALL day it's great and the workout I'm doing shows I am burning approx 400calories a day.

I guess tomorrow will be my "truth sirum" huh?

Anyway, can some of you tell me how your first month was??? In all aspects if you can share....

I love doing summaries and things!

All issues and regains aside ... I dug my heels in (again) on September 10th and the following month looks like this.

I ate an average 1404 calories. 17% protein, 43% carbs, 34% fats and 6% alcohol.

I missed several days of cardio and only lifted a couple of times (light)

I had a serious blip in weight over Canadian Thanksgiving and ended up ... I lost 4.6 pounds and over an inch off my waist!

You mean when we originally started?

5 years ago, I decided to 'do it' and do it I did. I remember eating a lot of spinach salads (HUGE salads) along with grilled chicken breasts. I could barely walk (I had a recent knee injury) but I was at the gym 5 nights/week doing weights. I stopped eating out at all. The initial motivation lasted 3 months for me. Then Thanksgiving and Christmas hit and I kind of floundered a bit. I gained 10 lbs but lost them after New Years. I then stayed at my weight (75 lbs down) for 18 months and didn't lose another pound but I didn't gain either. Later on, I was able to find what worked for me and lose and eventually get to where I'm at now (160 lbs down).
