My goal is almost the same, for me it's 27 lbs in 5 months..
Hehe, good luck to you! (:

Thanks:) stay in touch and let me know how you are doing..do you have a blog or thread?

Have several hundred calories left but the night is still young...something doesn't feel right out my totals but I put everything down..not particularly hungry but it's probably not smart to not have a decent calorie count as I don't want my body to go into starvation mode..yikes that would be very counter productive..so trying to decide what to eat..

I have to say coming here has helped keep me honest and accountable about my issues with food..the last two days i've done better and staying focused and ignoring cravings has finally paid off. I lost 2lb! yea

Saturday's total calories 1248-daily calorie limit 1550

Made it through another whole day! It feels so good when I am in control I don't understand why I begin to binge! Anyway, will let you know if there is any movement on scale tomorrow morning..

I'm definitely going to check out that link to a blog...

Started a blog but its kind of difficult to navigate, and it kind of feels lonely..maybe it will grow on me? anyway today is sort of difficult. Hungry today no matter what I eat, but hopefully ate enough to quiet the beast within..It's very early to be having this issue so only time will tell. Hopefully, I will not lose focus and stay within my calorie limit

7 pounds (28 lbs in 4 months) a month is a very doable goal in my opinion as long as you work hard for it. You can do it :D

Thanks, I really need all the encouragement I can get! Today is a pretty good day and I think I did pretty well even though I was so hungry..

Weighed in and no movement on scale but I wasn't expecting any..hopefully tomorrow something:^:

Did not feel well today so way under my calorie load, but this isn't good, as I'm not small..so tomorrow I have to do better whether I feel like it or not. I need to plan my meals. Tonight I made salmon for lunch and i'll have a mini chef salad..i think that sounds pretty good, maybe add some whole grain toast.

Feeling more like myself today..So the last few days i've been having trouble getting enough calories in because I was sick. Not sure how I can make up for that but I guess you need to make every day a fresh start and so here it goes..

oh forgot to mention I lost another 4lbs! I can live with that!

Yep, I will! And now I don't.. I think I'll start soon, though. (:
Today and yesterday I didn't do a really good job >.< I ate over 2000 calories. The first days were quite easy, now it's getting harder to stick to my <1700 calorie intake -.-

Yep I understand, something to consider if you want a few extra calories to work with and still lose weight you might consider spending a little extra time in the gym? Maybe take an exercise class, that would burn up 300 calories
easy! good luck!

There is a daily accountability thread also that might give you some incentive and ideas about staying on top of your calorie limit. It's quite popular and isn't hard to find but if you can't let me know and i will give you the link. Good Luck!
