Hi Everyone...decided to join the thread to help with the accountablity thing...yesterday was good, this is only my third day counting and stayed on target yesterday, and so far on target today w/ the calories. I have 700 more to go and only dinner left. And I have done yoga both days for after a week off being sick.

I need a ticker....

Lot's of new counters! That's great!

I blew out today. How many calories are in 12 pieces of melba toast, 18 arrowroot cookies, scotch ... well you get the picture. I'll put it in fitday tomorrow and take responsibilty for the ugly truth.

But I realy am glad to see everyone here!

Hey y'all, Susan- I'm with you. I totally blew it yesterday. I was craving chocolate, and I had to give 3 of my kitties up to a (no-kill) rescue group because we are moving- I was sad, and I caved in and had a kit kat AND an almond joy AND cereal.... Oh well. I'm back today, gotta jump back on board!!!

On to Day 3. I'm glad to see a bunch of newbies like me posting!

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.

Hey - hi to all the new peeps!!

April was a good month for me - lost 8.6 lbs - target was 7.5 so I'm happy there!

Had a deficit yesterday of 1038! Yay me. Also got a comment today that I was "thin as a whippet" - yeah right LOL! But it was nice to hear.

Yesterday I ate 1363 calories and spent 30 minutes on the elliptical.

I missed breakfast today because i woke up late and had to hurry to a hearing on the hill, so I made a bad lunch choice (not that the sandwich was bad, but eating the entire bag of chips was ). So I definitely have to eat something healthy tonight for dinner.

I hope everyone is doing well today!

Day 3 for me and I'm really proud of myself for staying on course. I brought a salad for lunch to keep things safe and then I was invited out to lunch....but I still ordered a salad with grilled chicken when I wanted a club sandwich with fries!! The FitDay is a tremendous help. I am getting an idea of carb/protein/fat ratios and its helping me to discover what I need to be eating. My goal is to lose 3 pounds by the end of May which means a deficit of 364 calories per day and I think that I can do that. It's gonna be my goal. Good luck everyone.

I just so appreciate that you all posted today. You've made me feel so much better! I might get some weightlifting in tonight yet.

Hey everyone! forgot to post yesterday..LOL...work...life..you know the drill. So far ok, Yesterday was a high calorie day for me, as planned, but I didn't count the calories in dinner!!! so who know how much I ate, today I am paying for it because I feel like crap! So, its morning now and just start today I guess. Let you all know.

everyone here is doing so good!
