These 2 PERFECT OP 1200 cal days have made it completely possible for me to Spike tomorrow successfully! that I can keep the cals at bay for the game! We are throwing the party, and I have ALL the food together for me to WIN, no matter who wins the game!!
My totals yesterday ended up being: 1848 calories in, 2061 calories burned, for a deficit of 213. (I ate a 380 calorie candy bar, so I spent an hour jogging on the mini trampoline to burn some of it off!)
Since the beginning of the year, I've lost about 3 solid lbs. I would have been satisfied with maintaining, so that's pretty good.
Friday's Total = 1137 calories
Saturday's Total = 1166 calories

Sunday Breakfast - 480 calories

Thanks to you all, I lost 4 lbs this week. After reading your replies and following your suggestions and recommendations and changing what I ate, I was able to get back on the band wagon and had a great loss this week.
I can't wait to change my ticker when I log on to my laptop. I'm at 200 lbs and working to get to 199 lbs. I'm excited. One pound at a time.

Ok, my day was 1563 calories for the day. This past week, week1 I have stayed under 1800 each day. But looking at my chart ( myfitnesspal) 57% are carbs,30% are fats and 17 % are protein. What numbers should I be shooting for?
Well, here it to week 2 ( it is night time here in Taiwan)
I have had amazing weight loss in February I have no idea why but I am down another 2 pounds today!! I have been on this plan for 13 months and never had a loss like this.
Today makes 17 pounds lost in the last 5 days
I have begun to worry that maybe I am getting dehydrated. I am drinking lots of water and coffee so dehydration should not be the case.
I am very happy about the loss but I am very puzzled also.

panshrmu, to me, that sounds high on carbs and low on protein. The fats are ok, especially if it's healthy fats, but I wouldn't go higher than that. However, if you are feeling good, don't worry about your diet being perfect, because it looks like you're definitely on the right track. Nudging up the lean protein might help keep hunger at bay.

Wow, that's amazing, Larry! Of course, there are normal daily fluctuations (I've seen as much as 6 lbs in one day!) but if your scale is accurate, I wouldn't argue with it!
I use an Android app called "Libra" to log my weight. It gives me a "trend weight" so I don't get very carried away with the wild ups and downs. I try to look at the trend weight, and consider that my "real" weight. But I keep one eye on the roller coaster weight, too, because I know it's normal and roller coasters are fun.
WAY TO GO, Lagreeneyes!!
Today, Sunday: 7:00 breakfast: NS chocolate muffin, egg, orange: 344 noon lunch: Roasted Garlic Sirloin at Applebee's 450 5:00 snacks: GoLean Roll Bar, Lean Cuisine Spinach artichoke pita 390 7:00 dinner: Lean Cuisine Pizza, NS dessert bar 470
Total so far: 1654
My fridge was getting low on fruits and veggies, so I went to the store. I didn't eat my usual veggies today, but I'm ready for tomorrow!

"Dinner"
1 cup juice
popcorn w olive oil and balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup trail mix
Total - 1190
Lisa, if I ate that, I would be ravenous! I don't know how you can do it!
Is there any way you can get some vegetables and lean protein into your diet? Sorry for being nosy! The motherly instinct is coming out -- i'm worried about you! LOL
Edited to add -- I guess you've been sick and that's why you're eating so fluffy?

Today was Spike Day for me, & I was supposed to eat my exercise cals back. However, if I ingest 1 more thing, I fear barfing my brains out! (Sorry, hope no one has a weak stomach!)
Too busy yesterday to post. Stayed in the 1300-1400 cal range. Yay! Did have some pasta for dinner last night . . . didn't I just post saying I needed to stay away from that stuff for a bit? Oh, but it was quite a tasty meal I made.
Congrats on all the losses . . . Larry, you're killing me! 17 lbs in what, 5 days? Holy ! I think those zero cal noodles are def part of it. I gotta get me some of those.
The scale is still at 161 . . . grrrrr. It simply doesn't want to budge. Am done exercising for the day and am off in a bit to walk the doggies. Didn't sit down much at all this weekend either . . . just busy with life stuff and all. Geesh, you'd think with staying OP and all the movement the damn scale would move! <sigh> Whatchagonnado? Keep plugging away I guess. Have a good day all.
b: picante/cheese omelet, coffee, banana w/p. butter - 450
s: popcorn - 150 (was seriously craving something of quantity to eat. homemade microwaved popcorn w/some butter flavored spray and some sprinkles of butter buds. it did the trick)
As of noon I've consumed 3 16oz glasses of water.
Got another two glasses of water in for a total of 5. Cool.
Ate a tiny bit more calories than I burned yesterday, but just a bit.
Today, Monday:
6:30 breakfast: NS granola breakfast bar Packed in my lunch bag to eat throughout the day (I'm on the run all day):
2 string cheese
2 babybel cheese
11 oz V-8 low sodium
3 oz carrots
1 pear
1 orange
11 almonds
Zone Perfect Bar
NS Fudge Graham bar
Spinach salad with tomato, green onion, Fat Free Ranch
OK, the Oreos got the best of me at the end of a very stressful day. I'm not even going to count them.
Total of above: One bazillion
But, Danger! I'm giving a presentation at which I am serving Oreos (and using them as a metaphor for black & white thinking). I'm going to beg the people to eat all the Oreos so I don't have to eat any leftovers. But there's no guarantee.
