  • Good Afternoon ladies-

    I decide to join this thread even though I am currently on LAWL! I hope you ladies dont mind! I am trying to eat between 1200 and 1500 cal a day and I will keep you posted on the deficit!

    Today deficit of 1621!
  • Hi Everyone!

    I'm back, I was away for a festival for 4 days. I actually had 3 days of eatting off plan. I didn't even journal. It was just too difficult being out at a show and going out to eat all meals.

    I didn't get any exercise but I did a lot of dancing! I must have sweated off 10 pounds. It was so HOT outside. I really hope I didn't gain any weight from this vacation! I'd like to think I can take a few days off for special occasions w/o messing up my losses.

    Monday: 1301 calories, 1050 deficit
  • My beautiful almost 19 year old daughter had her divorce hearing on Thursday--the ex even brought his new live in girlfriend with him--it has been very stressfull and I found that though I no longer stress graze on everything in sight, I now just don't eat. I had some less than 1000 calorie days and between the stress, TOM and the low cal days I ended up gaining two pounds and being "weepy" all weekend. I am beginning to believe that eating too few calories is as bad as overeating....
  • Pls HELP: Here is what the past week looks like calories wise, but for some reason the scale wont go down! Does anyone have any explanation to this?

    Monday deficit 1130
    Tues deficit 1398
    Wed Deficit 1469
    Thurs deficit 1442
    Fri deficit 1134
    monday deficit 1316
  • Rebeca your deficits look good. I would just give it some time. If you keep having deficit you will loose eventually!

    I had a better day today. I had a real shock when the scale said 202 this morning. I know I didn't gain 7 pounds over the weekend. Thats just not possible right??

    Anyway I'm back on plan!

    Tuesday: 1047 calories, 1589 deficit, 35 minutes cardio, 20 minutes weights
  • Morning everyone! And welcome to Rebeca!

    Rebeca? How did you lose the first 10 lbs?
  • Good Morning-

    Valerie- Thanks for the encouragement! Sometimes we are so focused on the number of the scale that we dont give our bodies enough time!

    SusanB- I lost the first 10 on LAWL, which I am still kind of doing it!

    I got 90 min of exercise since yesterday! 20 min threadmill 10streching (includes 50 crunches) with yoga ball and 60 aerobics this morning!

    100 to go for my 620 min for May
    270 abs to go! for mays goal!

    Deficit:
    Monday 1316
    Tuesday 1420

    Have a good day girls!
  • Rebeca-It could be possible that your not eating enough...How many calories are you eating per day? If your working out alot and not eating enough your body will hold on to waht you are eating...that happened to me before...

    deficit yesterday was 705 and monday was 802..
  • dgpebbles- I eat between 1200 and 1500 cal a day! I burn a lot of calories during my daily activity, around 2500 without counting the workouts!
  • that sounds about right...I'm eating about the same as you...try uping your protien..that also has worked for me..or try zig-zag your calories...eat a few days at around 1500 and a few at 1000...I've also tried it...they both have worked for me...also sometimes you could be losing inches but not weight....also could be gaining muscle...just hang in there and it will all come off
  • Super busy all weekend and through today so haven't had a chance to post. Ate pretty well Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but no exercise so maye 100-300 deficits, and about broke even on Friday and then again yesterday. Might have gained weight but also getting pretty sick so not going to worry about the scale (just eating) for a few more days until I feel better. Will probably be either workign or sleeping but I'll try to post when I get back into the swing of things again.
  • Hi Miles! Donna!

    Rebeca? I was gonna have a look at your fitday but I didn't get a link. What do you do on the ball? Weights?
  • Hi everyone!

    I had an ok day today. I had an early work day and was high on the calories. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep my calories lower when I'm working. It seems when I'm up longer hours I'm having an extra little meal.

    2032 calories, 655 deficit, 45 minutes curves
