FishWoman - sounds like you are on track. The best way to figure out your deficits is by doing reverse math after losing weight, then it's bound to be the most accurate.

Tyler Durden, glad to have you with us, love the daily accountability
Kathy - I struggle a little with protein as well, but I think it's nice to have something to work on that isn't scale related.

reaganjn - Congratulations on your loss so far and hope you do well here

ckatgo - good job on staying on plan so far, I think that is the advantage of coming here and posting here, we all just take it a day at a time
Valerie - wow! What a deficit! You are definitely getting your exercise in, wish I could say the same
Susan - you'd think we'd remember before we eat the stuff how painful it is to log it into fitday, but somehow it doesn't pan out that way
judes - so sorry about your kitties, I think I would have been pretty depressed and gone on a minor binge as well. I am sure you will do better as you move on and feel better
Donna - be sure to let us know on the inches, you must be very excited

I am sure in 4 weeks you will see improvement!
Deficit of 420 for me yesterday. Haven't done any cardio in TOO long but last night's weigh-in was refreshingly low-ish so hopefully paying particular attention to WHAT I am eating, and not just the calories for a few days, is helping. Need to get back to at least doing weights real soon, so hopefully I will get to that tonight.
