Hellllloooooooooooo
I'm happy too this am. I have just lost 4 lbs in a little over a week. I hadn't moved the ticker to show the gain so now it is accurate again.

I totally agree on the measuring, particularly on certain items. Measuring and journaling also help me know what I'm consuming - like, do I really need those extra servings, no, I can wait, another meal or snack is just around the corner and I wont starve.
I think I'll be more motivated if I post here every day.
Plan for today is 1420 cals. I'm trying to lower cals to the 1400-1500 range. We'll see. I won't post deficits because I think that's like a guessing game, so I'll stick to calories consumed.
Hi Clarabr, welcome. I read your intro. I want to repeat what a dif exercise (for me its walking) makes for me. I rebelled against it for years. In OA I had the wieight off w/o it. I felt it should be an extra, on top of the weight loss and food program, not something I should have to include to be on a losing or maintenance plan. (what if something happened and I couldn't exercise? then I'd gain - dummy).
Well, I finally ran for the door with sneakers on last year. I just couldn't stand my top weight and I realized if I wasn't williing to eat less I was going to have to start working off some of the calories.
HMMMMMMMM- I should be out there now. Bye
Okay so I kind of fell off the map for a few weeks. Moved out and got a temporary new assignment at work that kept me away from here. I don't think I ate as bad as I could because a lot of times I just didn't have the junk to binge in my apartment. Not saying I ate the best! Fitday says I averaged 1396 calories a day for the last two weeks which is below my maintenance but I am worried that on the days when I was trying to catch up with my log that I was forgetting foods that I ate so it may not be entirely accurate.
Anyways as my heroine Scarlett O'Hara says, tomorrow is another day! Or today even! Worked out a little yesterday, deficit of 381 and starting again, again.
Hey! The scale's moving again! My calories have been better (2200-2300 instead of 2800-3000) so it's not really a surprise, but it's great to see. I broke up with my gf about a month ago and I don't really know anyone else in this town, so until I move back home in a month, I plan to really focus on the weightloss. Let people notice when I get back and hopefully, start dating again soon.
(Edit: Ha! I just got the pun in my ticker... the scale actually moves!)
