Check in MLK holiday week

[BonnieV]

Is that when your birthday is? Seventeen weeks and a major mile stone. I will be watching you...and walking with you.

What is the actual date? We can do a countdown. It'll be fun. And motivate us all...

May 17... had a great workout today.. 30 min on the treadmill and then 30 min with my trainer... biking tomorrow...I'm treating this like I did the c25K.. I have an exercise plan I've been following for 18 months.. now I'm focusing on the food.. the greatest challenge of my life.. and so frustrating!

but I am still counting calories... in my head. Keep up the good work!

Well, I'm a slow learner and it's taken me a few times to figure out my one key to weight loss and maintenance is journaling. My reality and what I really consume are very different. I know for a fact that if the only thing I do is journal i'll be succesful.

You are doing great!!!!

It's been five years, but here we are together on D&F again. Here's to our success!

Hard to believe its been 5 years. We're almost 3 wks into January and I already feel better.

Under what?

MyPlate gives me a calorie allotment based upon my current weight and losing a pound a week. My consumed calories have been less than that amount by a little bit, but it isn't going in the direction I'd like.

What? Already? LOL! I have found it hard and time consuming to add the foods. But I am trying to give it 1 month!

LOL! I gave it one day.

But I didn't want to feel like I hadn't given it a fair chance, so to compensate I have not been using myplate either.
