  • Sounds good to me as well. Last week was my first completely OP week in months and months, so here's to another!
    I want to eat within my calories, and not fill my calories with junk, try to eat as healthy as possible.

    Monday: completely OP!! plenty of fruits and veggies!
    Tuesday: definitely struggling...It is dinner time and I have barely any calories left due to eating badly today. I would say I was OP as far as calories, and off plan as far as not eating junk, but it hasn't been too bad considering it's my TOM.

  • I'm in! My definition of OP: around 1500 calories and at least 30 min of exercise.

    Monday:
    1402 Calories
    50 min of Aquarobics (the instructor was too late) plus going there by bike, which was a workout in itself (storm)

    Tuesday:
    1530 Calories
    25 min Jillian Michaels plus my normal cycling (about 15 minutes)

    Wednesday:
    I counted 1200 calories but I'm pretty sure I forgot counting something, because I never eat that little without being hungry.
    JM level 2... pain

    Thursday: Off plan!
    Calories... 1800-2000. Eating out. Nuff said.
    Cycling about 35 minutes.

    Friday:
    About 1600 calories (good enough for me)
    45 minutes of swimming

  • Ooh, I'm in! Perfect timing! I just laid out a new plan using the list of superfoods. Well, not all of them, but incorporating quite a few of them. I've been off plan for so long, this will be a nice little boost to get back into the swing of things. so for me to be on plan I need to: follow my eating plan, follow exercise plan (or acceptable substitute), and drink at least four sports bottles of water.

  • After the weekend I just had this is just what I needed. LOL about the poptarts Heather... back away from the box, I think we need to have an intervention.

    My goals for being OP this week:

    7000 calorie deficit
    3 days running
    2 days other form of workout...

    Monday - 688 deficit eh, no running, boo!
  • I woke up thinking about this today! I can't wait to get started. I had a kick-start day yesterday so that I will hopefully get off this dang pound I've been stuck at & now I'm ready. I would love to lose 2 lbs this week, but I'm not holding my breath.

    1504 calories/day
    Either a 2.5 mile walk or Pilates DVD everyday
    90oz of water/day
    No weighing until Saturday!!
    (that's a big one - my husband was teasing me last night about getting on it 45 times/day. That's an exaggeration - it's like 30 times a day!)
    No eating out - I broke that rule everyday except Monday. Eek!

    Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see how much weight we have lost by the end of the week!

    Monday: 1481 calories, 2.5 mile walk, 96 oz of water
    Tuesday: 1750 calories (yikes!), Pilates, 112 oz of water
    Wednesday: 1423 calories, Pilates, 72 oz of water
    Thursday: 2039 calories (dinner at Red Lobster...dangit!), Pilates, 100 oz of water
    Friday: 1422 calories, about a mile of walking around the mall, 112 oz of water - no Pilates today because I pulled something doing it yesterday
  • I'm in and so in need of an on plan week. My plan: 1400 cals a day, one salad a day, 75 minutes of cardio 3 times this week, lots of water and lots of sleep.
