*****227*****
Oh crap I have to run, I want to write more, will be back around 4 or so...oh yes and I finally got a fitday journal, and I LOVE IT!! I showed it to anyone who would look...check it out (in my siggy) but keep in mind, yesterdays amts counted the fact that I work 12 hr midnights so essentially I was up 24 hrs straight (minus small nap before going in) so I allow myself an extra meal and snack...a normal day would be much less!

I am frustrated. I was down to 260.5 yesterday and I was a saint when it came to counting calories and today I'm 261.5. I don't think it was water. It's got me befuddled. But my loss for the week grrrrr is
.5lb
You better bet next week I'll have something to crow about!
Michelle: WOW! Congratulations on the big loss!

Well, I joined the challenge but, haven't figured out how to report my loss. I lost 2lbs this past week and I guess I will be happy with that. 12 lbs so far!

Jadeddieter: The total calories is an individual thing. I have 2000 a day and I've lost 11 lbs in 3.5 weeks. FitDay says it takes 3300 to maintain my current weight, so I'm cutting 1300 calories a day and it's working good for me. Each month I'll have to reduce my intake to keep the losses coming.
Do what works for you.

Actually, either I was still putting in entries that day and wasn't done yet, or more likely, I work midnights and some of my entries would not be entered until 3 am or so...you must've been sleeping....<wink> I get around 1600-1800 cal a day, but wish I had more control and went less than that...1400 is about RIGHT ON!
LOL today should be a good day, worked last night, so I'll be sleeping until 2, go to the gym, have dinner, etc but don't have to work again tonight, be in bed around 9 or 10....probably only two meals and one snack...but that makes up for the 4 meals and 3 snacks I'd have on a day where I worked and stayed up all 24 hrs. Maybe TODAY will be only an 800 cal day or so...
I have a zillion fitday questions....like, do you think I REALLY burn up 1800 calories in a 12 hr shift as a nurse? I mean, I work hard, but THAT hard? And some of the recipes not being listed as food choices is bugging me!! That should clear up as I save custom foods, but still....and elliptical isn't a choice for exercise....Great tool though! I've been showing it to all my friends! My husband has even started one!! I'm half worried that it will become an obsession for me, counting like a fiend....but I also have you friends to keep me in check.
Falling asleep at the puter here...good <night> day to you all! xoxoxoxox

4 lb weight loss
I was shocked when I got on the scale I had 4 days off of work and ate much differently than I have been. I have been staying on my calorie plan, but I am shocked anyway. My workouts have been less than consistent, but I guess it worked!
I went to Curves yesterday, I get a week for free, plus I go into a drawing for a year for free. I can't pay the monthly fee but at least I get one week! Not to mention I may be moving to Arizona so I am saving money for that possibility.

Wow, you are doing awesome! 7 lb loss so far! How many calories are you sticking to? Great job and great inspiration.

Hi, Bird Lady. I have your starting weight (for challenge) as 240. What is your current weight? That will tell me what to put in the chart for your weight loss.
Thanks!

Week 2 Weigh in Chart
Well, it's been 2 weeks since we started the challenge and we are seeing some GREAT success! In the attached chart I've highlighted in yellow the members who have weighed in this this week.
I am showing a pitiful 0 lb loss! Being the person who started this challenge, that is REALLY sad! Some of you have an almost 7 lb weight loss (lovethatsara!).
Okay, I'm going to get it in gear. Nursemichelle, you have reminded me that sticking to 1400 calories DOES produce results. Stay the course....stay the course....
Please let me know if any of the information on the chart is inaccurate. I'll fix it and repost.
GREAT JOB, LADIES!
