Thanks, Michael. I appreciate the invite to join. I've been searching for a site where the focus is on the program and weight loss. This was it. I'm taking this one step at a time and trying to be patient. My weigh in day is Sunday (helps to keep me honest over the weekend). From 244#, my last weigh in was 222#, I've got my mini goals and rewards set up and I've been honest with the intake. Keep on posting everyone. You've no idea how much it helps--or maybe you do since we're all in this together for the same reason.

Thank you all for your honest posts and sharing. Just reading about your efforts are doing a great deal to help me with my own. I swam laps for an hour yesterday morning. Worked with my trainer for 1/2 an hour mid day and topped it off with an hour of water aerobics at the gym in the evening. Drank over 4 liters of water and ate just under 1500 calories with 74 grams of protein.
A good day.
My challenge is that every Friday my Girlfriend arrives arrives around 8.
She departs Monday morning.
Between cocktails, meals and an "on the go" weekend lifestyle, doing any workouts or keeping intake below 2000 calories is almost imposable.
Advice?

We will have a new challenge to lose 10% of your body weight starting up April 1st (when the current challenge ends) if you're interested. I really like the 10% goal in more-or-less 12 weeks as it's pretty doable yet makes a significant difference.
If there's anything we can do to help you along, just mention it.
Regards,
Michael

Have you logged a weekend's worth of calories? If not, I think you should. It's pretty tough to make adjustments w/o a fairly accurate base line. Why don't you log this weekend's festivities, the good, the bad and the ugly and see what it looks like. Then we can make some more informed recommendations.
I do predict, though, that if you want to reach your goals in a reasonably quick time frame that you're going to have to make some adjustments to the weekends. Surely your girlfriend is interested in your health and would be willing to go along with some changes?
I think I mentioned that I tried the weekly "cheat day" and it was OK at first but the loses slowed up considerably. When I went to once a month, good things started happening. Just an observation.
What do you think?

Michael

1482
1803
3161
2284
1793

1189
1085
2371
3201
2491

First Lois =I want to welcome you too! We are all in this together so don't be nervous to post.. I've already posted like 100 times. And yea, seeing someones experiences and questions and answers REALLY HELPS. So by posting you are helping other people, and yourself.
Second =
As for the 10% challenge Michael ?
I WANT TO TRY THIS! Can I join in too???????
Maybe I will do it by myself either way, but I'd prefer to participate with everyone else if that's allowed.
10% of 250 is 25 pounds, so i would have to lose 25 pounds ? That would be pretty awesome XD .. numbers might be less if I lose any weight this month.
