Ok I have fallen off the wagon, hard! I know calorie counting works, its the only thing that has but if I stop counting for a while then I have the hardest time bringing myself back in line.

I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to just do a challenge for this week, checking in everyday with yesterday's calories and any exercise done.

I have the summer to get myself in line before I start an intense program at my college in the fall (I am a mom going back to school). Also I will be in front of people often since my job is in the public eye so I really want to get myself into good shape as well as healthy.

So for this week my challenge to myself is simply to count the calories and write down my exercise, if you specifically have a goal you wish to meet for amount of calories eaten then feel free to put that down too.

My Goal: Track Calories (amount doesn't matter) and exercise at least 3 times this week.

Feel free to post your calories here and help keep me accountable so I can build up my habit again!

I'd love to! I'm hoping to lose 2lb this week (no change for the last week cause of "that time") so I could use some encouragement too!

I'd like to give this a shot, I was totally good yesterday and consumed 1210 calories.

I've been 3 pounds from my goal weight since the end of May, and I would love to knock off another pound (or 2) before June is over. I wish I could say that I'm on a plateau, but I can't because I have not been staying on plan very well on the weekends. Basically I've been wiping out all my weekday hard work by over doing it on Sunday....gurrr. I guess you could say I've been in maintaince mode before I've reached my goal. I think if I could make it an entire week by staying 100% on plan. (1200 weekdays/ 1500 weekends) I could put a small dent in the final 3... ( I really want to lose 8...but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!)

Monday: 1210
Tuesday: 1205
Wednesday: 1300
Thursday: 1190
Friday: 2500 (oops)
Saturday: 1190
Sunday: 1180
Average calories for the week = approx. 1400/day

Going to try it again.

Monday: 1190
Tuesday: 1210
Wednesday: 1220
Thursday: 1210

I just figured we could set it up to be Monday thru Monday or Tuesday thru Monday.

Its just a place to come and be accountable every day or every other day for each day this week. I have to get someone to hold the whip over my head since the carrot (weight loss) isn't working right now.

Thanks for everyone joining to help keep accountable this week.

I keep doing this too, wiping out my weekdays of eating really well by having a bit too much fun on the weekends Gonna try to work on that this weekend!

Tuesday:
I did my 30 minutes on the treadmill, and ate 1431 calories! I'm under..yay...
Although I got on the scale this morning and it said 214.5. I thought "that can't be right" so I got off then back on...and landed at 216. Bummer!

I would love to join in. My challenge will be Wednesday-Wednesday since I love on vacation next Wed. I weigh 168 I believe.

Wed-
exercise- CLX lean 1 43 minutes plus 20 minute turbo jam.
calories- 1473

Woot well my calorie count was horrible and I didn't get any exercise in but I did count all my calories yesterday (that was my goal).

My calories were 2500 (hubby took me out to dinner at thai I mean :P )

Thanks for checking in everyone.

Great Job Lori Bell! In the scheme of things those last 3 pounds aren't really that important, I look at what you have achieved and have hope!

I lost 2lbs!! Yay me!!!! That puts me in the 140's!! Do excited! *blush*

Joining in and I'll run mine Wed to Wed! Current weight 256.
1500 calorie a day goal

Already today:
breakfast: fresh fruit, cheese and crackers 331
lunch: Sandwhich and french onio soup 465.
Leaves 700 calories for dinner and it'll be tough. Had to fast this morning for bloodwork so packed my breakfast for afterwards and was starving 20 minutes after I ate it! Now I just had lunch and I'm still hungry! Might have some oatmeal later as a snack...

Excercise: 5k walk with some jogging

This Saturday's going to be the worst as I'm going to a family wedding shower and my aunts are all amazing cooks. Be strong. Be strong.

I'm in and will start mine Thursday-Thursdays. Just got out of the hospital with my son, so today is pretty much shot!
