Joy - Did you get your 45 minute workouts in last week??????

You know Michelle, I took a look at my food journal over the last few days and it's been really erratic:

aim for -250 to -750 every day

yesterday I was -1932
Monday I was -951
Sunday -1663
Saturday -815
Friday -1441

I don't think I'm eating enough. I'm going to have to keep a better eye on that. Thanks

Sarah - ohhh hun...you should NEVER go below 1200 calories . Are you adding your activity in aswell? Once you input your activity....your calorie budget will change. It's REALLY important to eat enough food to support your workouts even while losing weight. If you don't...you'll lose lean muscle tissue . You don't want to do that hun. The more lean muscle tissue we have...the higher our metabolism will be . This will be KEY in maintaining your weight once you've reached your weight loss goals. I hope that's helpful!

NEW TWIST - Fitness Survivor UPDATES

I dunno how many of those pushups I'll be able to do!

How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling a little better this morning, nervous waiting to hear (or not) if I get to start a new job on Monday, excited about going away for the weekend with my hubby and some friends- going to weigh in and do my measurements and stuff tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to keep my eating in track with restaurant food.

I am really getting anxious about keeping myself on track and getting a new job. Planning on bringing a sack lunch every day- which is something I've never done before: soup, sandwich, veggies, etc. and starting off on the right foot. Really anxious about how to get activity in, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I did get off of my couch and go for an extra walk yesterday afternoon and had a nice peaceful time. The day before, I got halfway through and I just sobbed and sobbed but kept going. My emotions have really been all over the place- trying to keep myself on track and make even more changes has been proving to be difficult. I'm getting there.

I'm starting to notice all of the fat in my stomach getting firmer and firmer- dare I say I'm building muscle underneath?! and that was a pretty exciting revelation. Now if I could get my shape to budge, I'd be a pretty happy girl. Looking forward to getting back to the 220's here shortly- in Feb. when I saw my Doctor last, I was 228 with all of my clothes on, so I'm almost back there-

Good idea Sarah! Taking a lunch to work will REALLY help your efforts Remember guys....you have all day to accumulate push ups. If you can only do 1 now...try again in another hour or so...they all add up

Where's my team at? You can do this, we can do this Don't go all quiet on me!
