Well, not the best weekend for me but not the worst. Last Thursday was a bad day with about a 0 deficit, then a combined deficit of 742 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I guess at least it is a deficit! Did not get in hardly any exercise, but DID eat my veggies so I guess I am half there. Going to get some oatmeal to start out my day and hopefully things will get better this week.

Valerie ... I'm sorry. I got called in to work for a few hours. I will have a look at your fitday. I will!

Ok I had a look. Oh and I'm glad you lift weights. It feels good, yes? Since you've lost an amazing amount of weight already, you need to be congratulated. Congratulations!
Have you lost all of that eating your prepackaged reduced calorie foods?
Maybe it's time to have a look at more natural sources for your nutrition. Can you find a few places where you can substitute in a lean protein with a vegetable or fruit instead?

I wish I'd paid more attention to your percentages of protein, carbs and fats. Maybe I'll have another look at that.

I know I had a deficit yesterday but don't know how to quantify it. I'm at a loss with fitday and 'packing' activities. There's no selection for restacking empty boxes that fall over

Maybe for a few weeks I'll be an old fashioned calorie counter. I know I'm moving more ... I just have to watch my food.

Deficit of 235 yesterday, not much. Did very well on exercise (well okay, I forgot to lift, that can happen tonight) but went overboard on eating. Keep debating if I should try to up my "limit" of calories, or something of the nature. It's not that I feel hungry at 1200 but I think I feel deprived or I wouldn't be always eating 200 calories or so above it. However I'm sure if I consistently ate that much I'd stop losing at all, and it's already a snail's pace. What I really need to add in is regular exercise, but I don't have the motivation. They say to add something you really enjoy, but I don't know if physical activity is something I'll ever really enjoy. I think the only thing I love that much is food, or sleep! Anyways, I will think on it, I did some DDR last night which was fun but I know that is a hard habit to keep up.

Finally got my computer back and can get back on track. I noticed the last couple of days I'm adding a bit more food at dinner and that is where Fitday helps me, seeing how many calories I have left at dinner time.

Back on track, starting today.....

Phyllis

It's good to see you back Phyllis!

Morning ladies,

I'm still here. Well so much for August being a great new month, I've spent most of it sick. Sometimes I feel I can't win for losing.

Hoping to get back to the gym next week, this week looks to be another write off. Next month promises to be nice and stressful: I've got my mum coming over to visit me for 12 days on Sept 1st and on Sept 9th, DH and I are renewing our vows (we didn't have a wedding the first time, we did the courthouse thing and with mum being here we thought now is as good a time as any to do a blessing). I've been up to my neck organising the blessing and trying to get our spare room ready for mum and working. I'm likely unable to get to the gym during that time so will need to make sure I eat as well as I can to compensate lack of exercise.

I will still try check in with you guys though, I miss your support when I don't visit.

Still no weight loss/change either although I expect I might have put on a couple lbs from the last 2 weeks.

1200 Deficit yesterday just was not all that hungry and worked out like it was going out of style. Today is looking to be a higher calorie day so should all work out.

Deficit of a mere 217 yesterday, once again did not do so well on the sweets. Lifted weights for over an hour so feel very good about that, hopefully will see the effort of this upper-body weight routine if I can keep up this level of effort.

Well ladies came in with a 403 deficit for yesterday. Went a little haywire on the food which is to blame for the low number. Did make it to the gym and got a strength session in which at least helped a little.

blues - I did upper body last night as well. SO strange when I first started weight training that is one area I hardly ever worked out...thought I didnt need to have strong arms, back and shoulders. But that is always the strength routine that I feel most successful with once I am done. Great job getting over an hour in...and hey a deficit is a deficit!

philosopher - great job 632 is awesome And congrats on the loss as well.

I'm not sure what my deficit was. I was way under calories yesterday. It's apparently migraine time around here. And I'm going on my fourth day of niggling discomfort.
I'd better get at my errands here so that I can try to sleep this one off a little later this aft. I wonder if ibuprophen would help enough for me to go for a nice relaxing walk.
