yeah we're all here! I just logged on too Hikari-nice to 'see' you.

I am very glad this challenge lasts such a long time, I just realized if I loose one pound a week I will be in a spot I am VERY happy with by the end. Yeah!!

Ok off to count some calories

I dont know if we are to record it somewhere but my goal is 1900 calories a day +/-100 of course. I am breastfeeding and need the extra calories (plus I hate being hungry LOL), never fear if I stick to that range I will loose weight (I know it sounds alot compared to what some of you are probably doing).

As most challenges on the forums, its all based on the honor system, so the journal/tracking does not have to be public. I know many tho keep an online diary and note the info there.

Gratz on the baby! How old?
 
Nice to see that the whole team is here.
I don't think that I personaly will have any problems with this challange because I count calories daily anyway.

I know I'm a bit of a lurker, but be assured I am around. ;)

Go team! :D
 
So far so good. I got my exercise in early and as of 830pm, I am close to my caloric target . . which is 1388 btw. I'm at 1182 atm, so I guess I need a snack before I go to bed.

Ran upstairs and grabbed a rice cake, and a fruitsnack:

TOTALS FOR MONDAY, 4/7/08
Recommended calories: 1388
Calories consumed: 1322
Calories remaining for today: 66

How is everyone else fairing?

I have done pretty well today myself. I am at around 1200/1500 calories as of 8:30 pm and probably won't be eating my 300 more calories unless I just get really hungry!! Might have a small snack before bed.

I did 1 hour 45 minutes of cardio today by taking a step class with abs and playing tennis after dinner and also wrote in my journal and counted my calories!
 
Doing well here I am at 1843/1900 calories and have had my evening snack (cottage cheese and pineapple--delicious!), I got in 95 minutes excercise today.

Keep up the good work ladies
 
I have had a good day. My caloric goal is 1400 per day. Today came out to 1307. It is plus or minus 100 right?? No major exercise from me today. I went bowling for 2 hours, but I got sick and went home.
 
sorry to hear you are not feeling well. And yes, the range is now 100- a bit more realistic and fair. And bowling is more exercise than folks realize- Im sure your shoulder and hand is telling you that by now!

:)
 
Monday: 4/7/08
Calorie goal: 1400
Calories consumed: 1305
Calories remaining: 95

It was a very lazy day for me yesterday. I didn't do a thing... well I went to a meeting but that's it. Took the buss though because the weater was really horrid.

I'm doing good with my cals so far today. And I just finished an hour of DDR so I can get something extra to eat today. Dunno what it'll be though... Oh well.

Good to see that people are doing good so far. GO TEAM! :D
 
Hikari - for a snack, depending on my mood, I usually opt for air popped popcorn or a sugar free choc pudding w/ cool whip.
I havent tried DDR, tho the kids have it upstairs. I looks like fun tho!
christen- awesome exercise! tennis really burns
mom2-you inspired me to eat some cottage cheese doubles today- a really good snack having protein,fat and carbs
bmohearn-i'll repost the points for ya

As of lunch, I'm doing well:
Recommended calories: 1388
Calories consumed: 635
Calories remaining for today: 753

I use the selfdietclub site, its free if you get the magazine and makes tracking pretty easy.

Sadly I don't have an airpopper... if I had one I would have popcorn for sure, I love popcorn! :D
...I think I need to do some shopping for good low fat snacks... at the moment I don't have any at home. I have fruits and carrots though. :D They're healthy! lol

And you should try DDR, it's fun, and you certanly work up a sweat while dong it. I jumped 5.5km today. :D The downside to the game though, is that I really don't like some of the songs on it, so I make a workout list of songs and use the same list over and over again. Some songs I don't even have to really concentrate to get through anymore. lol

I managed to get a like 1200 combo at some point.... it was last summer though.... and the comentary voice kept saying 'I can't even count that high' ever new 100 I goot. I shall see if I can acomplish that again someitme.

Yaay... I'm done rambling now. :)
 
Hakari, that is funny about DDR. I took dance classes for 10 years and I have so much trouble with that game! I have it here at the house but I put it away because I was so bad at it! Maybe I should pull it out and have another go at it :) It is definitely good exercise thats for sure!
