lekshmiprasanth -- Hope you feel better soon :hug:

Today was a good food day :dance: .... I also made it to the gym :strong:

Now time for bed :yawn: Nite girls :wave:

Poor couple of weeks for me - My fiancé and I polished off a bottle of wine that had been give to us to celebrate our engagement. There was also chocolate and too much bad food and I put on 2 lb!! Almost got back to ticker this morning - 136.4!

I also found out I didn't get into the 2010 London marathon :(

But there is another one not far from me in May next year so I am going to try for that one. Not televised and not as high profile as the London one - but it's still 26.2 miles. I officially started my marathon training programme again yesterday also. I have been running of course since we got back from Spain but had to ease back into it gently after a month off.

Good morning!

How is Lekshmiprasanth? Feeling better?

Any marathon impresses me Robsia.

Hope you are feeling better Lekshiprasanth.

I'm with Susan Robsia, I'm impressed with your efforts.

Yesterday started out great, as it usually does, but I finished it with a slice of homemade apple pie and ice cream. The good news is that is the last slice!

Today I plan to up my water content, down my portions by %25 and not eat after dinner!

Hi Ilene, Susan & Sodiumlightbaby.

Yes, I am better now and started having hunger!!! I couldn't resist and ate two breads already. :( I know I have to reduce the white bread, oh, but it was too much. I tried to have the salad, but I didn't feel full after it. I was in college and I used to bring my lunch, and this time I felt too less. I hope its only the aftereffect of the fever and I surely overcome it once I restart jogging again.

Hope you having a wonderful day!!

Today has been not so good - I was out running around and forgot to eat lunch before I left the house and found my car pulling into KFC! But I made up for it this evening by making chicken stirfry for dinner. I also finished Week 1 of C25K! Whooo Hooo! I plan to do 30 minutes of strenght trainining here in the next 15 minutes or so, too.

Lekshiprasanth - Glad you're feeling better!
Robsia - I'm with the others - any marathon is impressive!

Hey, everyone! I'm new, just joined yesterday! I talk a lot so you'll probably be hearing from me often :)

Today was blah! I felt sick all day. Kept my eating under control but didn't get my exercise in like I wanted to..just did a little dancin' around the living room to Britney & Lady Gaga ;) Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day w/ no headachs!

P.S. I can't wait for my 20 days to be up so I can put my ticker on my posts!

Good morning!

Hi new folks!

I'm doing all right this week! Tomorrow is assessment day. Get ready for your weekly yawn. I really must remember to measure.

Welcome Mandy

Well I had my first good day yesterday!! I hit almost all my goals except drinking water. Today is going to be great!

G'mornin' all and :welcome: Mandy :wave:

Yesterday was good and was down 2lbs, no applause, this happens every week... The trick is to keep it off through the weekend and this weekend is Canadian :turkey: weekend :rolleyes: ... So it's gonna be a difficult one... I know it's only Wednesday but I'm getting psyched for it already...

Hi Everyone
 

Hi everyone!

Susan, congratulations on your last few weeks! 7.4 pounds, awesome. Just a quick question from a newbie: when you say you've been averaging 1300 cals, is that intake or net? Just trying to figure out what I should be shooting for! I did my food and exercise journal online today and apparently I ate 1980 cals, but with my exercise (50 minutes brisk hill walking, 2x 30 day shred session) it was 1251 net. Is this too high to lose? What do the rest of you aim for?

:?:

:wave: kiakaha :welcome:

When I average 1800 calsl I gain weight and I exercise a LOT, some days twice... I try to have an intake of 1300-1500 to lose weight, any extra exercise is just gravy... I think most do it this way too...

Yesterday was a super good food (1300 cals) and exercise day... I aim to do the same today...

Good morning, everyone! I wad down 2 lbs this morning so I'm VERY excited! I know it's probably water weight but just to see a lower number is inspiring :) So, what's assessment day? Is that for everyone?

My average calories? That's just what I eat.

I know I eat too much so I count calories.
I know I don't move enough so I track my cardio minutes.
I know weight lifting builds strong muscle and bones so I do it.

Figuring out how many calories you use is such an inexact science ... I don't even bother trying.

I am so happy today. had a very good day!! Drank 1.5 liter water, ate plenty of salads, and I could control my chocolate craving for the first time!! Did a good walking for an hour too. :)

I hope you all had a nice day!!
