Hey ladies. Yeah, it's taken me about 9 months to lose 20 lbs in the past, so I am not sure if I will hit right on target but should be close. And this time I am planning to exercise more than the last time. It's not the number so much for me anymore as how I feel, and I feel unhealthy at this point. I am in southern california, so pretty warm here, though we are thinking of going up north for the wedding so might have to be a little earlier in the fall then And only 3 lbs a month will be quite a trick for me! I think I'm down 2, but I'm a bit too scared to weigh in the morning and confirm it so I've been putting it off.
Bobbi Thank-you so much for your kind words, your right, makes a person feel good. you did a good omen for your daughter, you know how much she appreciated your kindness.

1100 is my goal.
As you know I changed weight scales and there's a 4 lb. difference, my new one weighs heavier, that why I haven't seen any weight lose because of this.My tracker reads the weight from the old scale, but I'm not changing it as I'm very close to that weight. and than after that I'll be able to post the weight loss again I hope sooner than later.
keep up the good work to you all.

I averaged 1126 with 20% protein, 30% fat and 50% carbs. Still high on carbs and low on protein, but doing better. Did pretty well at getting at least 50 grams of protein in every day. Had some low days, so was snacking after dinner to try to keep my calories above 900 at least. Guess I made up for it by eating a lot over the weekend, but I'm sure I'll do better on that next week. I also worked out 3 times during that period, and then helped someone move on Saturday. I think if I stay OP this week I'm in for another loss come next weekend, but we shall see.
Looks like all three of us are averaging about the same number of calories.
According to some people we should be eating at least 1200 calories but I have a hard time getting my calories up that high.. I think we're all good at eating lots of filling foods that are low calorie. I have a hard time understanding why some of the dieters go over their goal, maybe too many sweets now and again? I'm lucky that I don't care for many sweets, but I could eat a whole cheesecake, ooooh Yum! I don't keep that in the house. I'm only 2 pounds away from my goal and decided that Sundaywould be my day off, so I'm only going to report Monday thru Saturday from now on. We go to my parents on Sunday afternoons and eveybody brings food, no way to figure out what they put in it. When I bake, I use Splenda Bulk sugar and fat free sour cream, ice cream, Cool Whip,etc. Nobody else does and they would think I was a pain in the neck if I grilled them on the ingredients. Keep up the good work Hannah and Miles. Is Miles your real name?

My Salter Food scale is the best purchase I've ever, ever made. It not only measures my calories, but also fiber, cholesterol, fat, etc. I only use the calorie and fiber button, do either of you use a food scale?
I usually use a combination of Fitday and labels. I find going over calories pretty easy It's not the sweets, it's just in general the ease of eating too much. Plus when you've been dieting on and off for years it's easy to just give up every now and then and wonder why you can't have that burger or whatever. I find that sometimes (like these last couple weeks) when the loss is going good and I'm busy at work but not at home it's pretty easy for me to stay on track. But it really doesn't take much to throw a wrench in my plans and have me eating a 3000 calorie day. If I wasn't addicted to food to begin with, I wouldn't be here.
This is a dear John letter.................My hubby wants me to take the holidays off since I'm only two pounds away from goal. I'm not going to count calories, just watch what I'm eating until January 1st. Thank you for participating and keeping me going. Sorry if my dropping out has messed up your plans. God Bless!

Averaged 1257. 30% fat, 50% carbs, 20% protein. Didn't do quite as badly as I had thought, but not really great either. Didn't work out very much either so I don't expect to see a loss from this week. I'll try to do my WATP tonight and get back on track. I need to work on my protein as well, I think it came from kind of losing my momentum over the weekend.
And only 3 lbs a month will be quite a trick for me! I think I'm down 2, but I'm a bit too scared to weigh in the morning and confirm it so I've been putting it off.
