Just updated my Check-in and wow, some of you are "cooking with gas"!
This is just great--I'm going to be very interested to see how many pounds combined we lose and how many of us reach our 10% goal.
My loss has been a little sluggish since Christmas, but still happening. I've increased my daily walk some more--haven't GPS'd it yet, but I've got to be close to 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. It was well under 20F out yesterday and I still ended up soaked w/sweat when I got back.
Hard to believe that FitDay says that's only good for slightly over 100 calories!
Anyweigh, the scale read 293 this morning, so that's OK. I really like "instant gratification" but I know that even a couple pounds a week is good and probably more healthy in the long run than a faster pace.
Have a great day everyone!
Regards,
Michael

Welcome new fools! I hope everyone has a tremendously successful challenge.
Michael, boy, if that's sluggish loss, I hope to stay as sluggish as you! I noticed on the chart that you didn't put down your pre-new year's eve weigh in of 297, so I added it for you, but unless I'm missing something you lost 4lbs in the last 8 days. Sounds awesome to me!
I was pleasantly surprised to have lost 3 lbs for the week. I spent several days sick where I still forced myself to go to work, so just didn't have it in me to work out those days. Maybe I burned a little more with my fever. Also, I ordered a number of new snack foods because I felt like I wanted a little variety, and while I didn't badly over indulge from a calories per day perspective, I did find that I fell out of my normal meal timing and lost a lot of the really good clean foods that I have been enjoying. I'll call it a snack binge that I survived, and try to get back to more balanced choices this week.
And now, back to the gym! I haven't been able to work out for a few days, so I'm going to have some breakfast and get a big workout in.
Have a happy and health week everyone!

partly joking! I hope it felt good to get back in the gym..it is hard to make it there sometimes after a few days off!
goodluck this week!

However, they help keep FitDay free, so it is what it is. I believe that if one ponies up for the Premium FitDay the ads go away.

PS I think we have a ThighMaster kicking around the house somewhere.

I wonder how many it will be- i am so motivated to get to 180! I just want it so badly...i was 193 two days ago so i am hoping when i step on the scale tomorrow morning it will read the same or less! Which will be a 2 pound weight loss for this past week! yeehawww!
I havent seen the scale this low since highschool days...it will just be crazy when it hits below 190!!
