O.K. Here's the next segment of 10 days in the lifeboat.

Remember this is not a "challenge" but a place for accountability to ourselves and support.

So what is your plan for this 10 day segment?


Join us doing our best to stay dry!

Helloooo February - it's gonna be great.

I'm keeping my same eating plan in place: less than 1800 calories, at least 5 servings of fruit/veg. I need to up the exercise, but right now I don't know how well I'll be able to add it...

Here comes Day 1!!

I'm keeping my wobbly calorie cap, riding to work on my bike and no vending crud is a given.

I had a great dream last night that the scale said 211.

Hugs to all my lifeboaters!

I'm going to try to replace at least 2 carb points a day with dairy or protein. This is going to be tough for me. Think I'll get my life jacket on now.

I'm sticking to my calorie limit, walking daily, and mixing in kettlebell 3-4 times this week. I am also trying to avoid eating out, but if I do, keep it within the day's calories. Good luck everyone!

I will be keeping my calories the same but making sure I get in all my veggies daily. I will limit carbs to only healthy ones. I will drink more water. I will exercise...Today!!!

The excess calories I had during the last 10 days didn't hurt me too badly -- I made it to 299 as of this morning. So I'm not going to keep trying for the 1990 calorie goal I had last time. Instead I'll do 2150 and go from there.

1. 2150 calories/day (average)
2. 64 oz water/day
3. 25 minutes exercise/day (average)

Day 1 and ... I ate too much!!!

I was very busy today and didn't have time to write everything down. When the dust settled, I was a little over today.

But, on the plus side, I did not cave to stress, did not just choose to overeat, and still recorded everything in the end. I just miscalculated. To punish myself now would just be silly. So, I'll take it as a good day with a splash in the boat, and move on to Day 2!

Great day 1. Cant wait to weigh and see if I lost a lb for the week.

Hi Folks......have missed you all...............I haven't been around much the last 10 days but I have been doing well and keeping dry. The numbers are going down and I saw 319 this week . It has been many years since I saw the teens. As of this morning am at 315.6 - so close to 299 I can't believe it.

Stranded - Congrats on reaching 299! It must feel great to see that 3 drop off the scale.

At this point I seem to be doing well with the calorie counting but I have dropped off on the exercise so for the next 10 days I will concentrate on adding exercise back into my days.

Have a great day everyone!

Heather - I call that a win!

POP with 30 minutes exercise for me yesterday.

Seeing lots of successes in the last segment. WOOHOO

I'm damp. Yesterday was crazy. Was able to stay OP but didn't lower carbs. Toss me a towel please.

I am going to keep track of my calories and try to stay under 1800. Drink less pop, more water. Exercise as often as possible.

stranded - woohoo at 299!!
vicki- way to go on the teens!!
