Still coming around the 1600 mark per day, although I wasn't cal counting yesterday or Sat much, just trying not to over do it.
Doing lots of yard work the past week. Need to refocus and knuckle down on the food intake though. I should probably stop browsing Pinterest finding all kinds of fantastic looking yummy things to make and eat!
On the up side, I put on my second pair of size 12 jeans (that a month ago were better than they had been but still too squeezy in the middle and made me look and feel all sausagey and no way could I wear them) and they not only fit but they are comfortable! Whoo hoo! Scale moving or not, things are improving.
Really need to boost the running because I think that's making a big difference.

b; coffee, kashi, strawberries, milk - 350
l: l.c. and some chips - 550
I got swamped with work yesterday and started to just guess my calories as the day went on. It all added up to 1800 when I tracked everything last night so I went over by 220. But I did make sure to get in my cardio! Half exercise, half stress-relief.
ughh...finally back to work today...been stuck at home with a sinus infection
it's actually going to making eating healthy easier because I won't be right beside the kitchen!
Been pretty OP . . . not really counting the cals but rather watching what I eat. Anyway the scale is down another lb so I must be doing something right. Been exercising nearly everyday plus lots of outside work too. Keep trying, keep planning everyone!!
I'm new to the forum and have decided to go about my weight loss by counting calories and a bit of help from Slim Fast I've never counted calories before but it seems like one of the simplest and flexible methods out there so I'm going to give it a try! Right now I'm trying to figure out what a good daily calorie intake goal should be.
My stats:
starting weight 164lbs
today's weight 164lbs (today is day one)
goal weight 140lbs
age: 33
height: 5'6
Today is a bit off because I had leftovers for lunch and don't know what the calories were.
Breakfast: 200
lunch: leftovers ?
supper: 546
snack 1 234
snack 2 x
snack 3 x
eta: I've done some playing around with online calorie calculators and starting out I'm going to aim for 1,400 calories a day. After a week I'll adjust this if I need to.

I've had a couple weeks without weight loss after only starting five weeks ago. I'm going to aim for calories at 1400 instead of the 1500-2000 I was doing (with exercise).
B-sf shake 200
L-egg wrap: (1 burrito sized soft tortilla shell (need to find ones that have less calories then what I'm using now!), 2 eggs scrambled with dash of Lawry's season salt, 2 hash brown patties, 2 slices American cheese) 616
S-sf bar 200
snack 1 pretzels and french onion dip 140
snack 2 1 slice of homemade banana blueberry bread from grandma, with icbnb spray ?
snack 3 I wanted to play around with the sf powder so I made a smoothie with it-high in calories for a snack, but I think I'll go this route for my sf meals, since the powder/milk way to make it is super sweet and I don't like it. 1 scoop sf, 1 cup plain lf yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen peaches, 2 large frozen strawberries, 1 cup water. 240
Calorie goal for today: 1,400
Actual calories consumed: 1,386 plus ? for banana bread (riding my bike for a couple miles so this will help offset any overage)
~Aiming for 6 glasses of water today~ 6/6
