I'm gonna join in and keep it all on 1 page so I can keep track!! In the past, I'd aim for around 1500, sometimes I'd go a little over, and often I'd go under, and figured it all evened out. I'd go lower before a big event and a little after. But I'd guesstimate, and it wasn't too accurate. So now I'm going with exact number and hope to lose a little faster
New goals are to aim for 1350 weekdays and 1500 weekends (although the 1st week, I may go a little lower to save up for Christmas & NYE treats)

Seeing that I'm the one who created this post, I should probably be writing on it more often! LOL. but I just went back and looked and it was created Aug 30, and i weighed 188 then... and now I weigh 174! So i've lost 14 lb in about 3 1/2 months... slowly but surely, right? My goal is still about 20 lb away... at the rate I'm going hopefully I can reach my goal by May. So I'm going to try and start writing my calories again, since that is my method of weight loss (for about a month I did low carb diet which helped me lose about 5 lb). I'm still use my Lose It! App on iPhone to track calories and use calorie king to look up calories I can't find on the app. Lose it app made my goal 1572 calories per day, but I aim for 1500.
Today's Plan:
8am-bagel thin, 110 light cream cheese, 65 =175
10am-medium orange, 70
12pm- light bologna and cheese sandwich, 250
light peach yogurt, 80
medium banana, 100
5pm- 1/2 box kraft spiral mac n cheese made with skim milk and no butter, 250
2 pieces baked breaded fish cakes, 240
ketchup, 15
salad with: lettuce, 15, 1/2 small roma tomato, 10, 2 T wine and cheese dressing,140=165
=1345
snack of mini butterfinger crisp-110
=1455 total

Today's Plan:
8am-bagel thin, 110 light cream cheese, 65 =175
10am-medium orange, 70
12pm- 1 healthy life hamburger bun, 80 and leftover sloppy joe made with 93% lean meat and only half the amt of sauce, prob about a half cup worth-my lose it app says 145 cal
light peach yogurt, 80
small banana- 80
5pm- 1 can healthy choice chicken noodle soup, 200
1.5 grilled cheese made with white bread, kraft cheese, and sprinkle of mozzarella, and a smear of light butter = 370
=1200 - leaves me with some wiggle room- someone brought homemade fudge today to work so with this plan that allows me for a little piece after lunch!
I really had a hard time not binging today.. I have no motivation at all right now..I lost nothing due to this evil plateau I can't seem to break it! So I upped my exercise to something more intense so maybe it will help.
12/16 Thursday: Exercise:
1,500 Jump Ropes.
Walked 20 minutes.
