Are we having a "Weekly-Weigh-In" on January 7th?
If you're not comfortable with posting your actual weight, you could just post your loss.

I think 1400 calories is great. Check out www.calorie-count.com . It calculates a good diet calorie intake based on age, weight, height, bone structure, and activity level.

Ten pounds in ten weeks is a pretty acheivable goal, no matter how you are trying to do it.
Exercise + real food - fake food - sedentary habits (like taking an elevator to go a few floors up) = feel better and do more
Endorphines are my cocaine...literally are endogenous opiates.

May I suggest we have a weigh in thread for each week? In "Activities" or something? Something like 10 in 10 Challenge 12/30-01/06 and so on? The "Friends" folder is so busy, it's hard to find things.

Hi everyone, I'm in on this. I want to lose about 21 pounds, hopefully by the summer but not too bothered if it takes longer. I'm on the Atkins diet, cutting out those evil carbs is what really works for me.

"I guess I'm alarming people with my 1400 calorie diet - that's net calories."
That is in fact called the basal metabolism calories, what calories we burn when sleeping, when just resting it's only a little higher. -

Hey Bubbles,be careful with that Atkins..if you suddenly go off it and start eating lots of carbs,and sugar you will gain weight in alarming rate..i did it,and gained an extra 50lb + high BP for it because of the quick weight increase.-KS

wow - every is really doing well! I had my walk at lunch time - the only thing that drove me to do it was knowing I would report to you all later on. Weather is yucky, but I walked pretty hard (for me) for 35 minutes, so I am proud of myself. Went out to dinner with friends, hard to count calories that way so I went into a different mode - about a cup of chili verde (amount I could hold in my hand if I wanted to hold it in my hand) plus about 1/3 each rice and beans, one small flour tortilla. I'll try to figure out the calories anyway, but just volume-wise I know I didn't overeat.
the idea to move to a different category - like the one way at the bottom about health - is a good idea. What do you all think?

Sounds good to me Hortensia,i'll bookmark the page so i can find it easier in that case.
That's pretty good,don't worry about walking too fast..i burn waaay more calories doing low intensity training and monitoring my heart rate to make sure i stay in that fat burning "sweet spot",that i ever did running/fast walking on 3.8 speed..an example of this was just then,when i was down there..there was a chick next to me haulin ass on the treads..so out of curiosity i peeked at her display...at the 45mins mark of her running session,she only had burned 425 calories..to contrast,at the 45mins mark in my low intensity climb session,i was a little over 560..burning at a 13.9:1 ratio versus her 9.4:1..then afterwards i still felt good enough to lift weights.:P-KS
