Wow - Silly...you are down 18 lbs since Jan 2nd?? Low carbs must definately work for you. I'm down 10 (I think..) since the end of December so mine is going a little slower...hoping to lose 17 more.

Feb 11th Calories - 1542 (but I think I might cheat and put a banana in the smoothie) Carbs - 45.3 Fat - 37.9 Protein - 16.7 Went to gym - 35 minutes on treadmill (2/3 running), 15 minutes cross trainer and 10 minutes bike...plus about 15 minutes of weight lifting. The internet site I go to indicates how many calories I should eat in at day (1200 - 1550) but I don't think it takes exercise into account. I would think that after an hour of cardio, we should be able to eat more calories. If I deducted the 500 calories burned from my intake, I'd be low....what do other people do?? Was kinda bummed - only lost one pound but then again I was thrilled just 4 days ago when I discovered that I hadn't gained after a 4 day binge.

Getting back on track Calories - 1528 Carb - 53 % Protein - 19.4 % Fat - 27.6 % 25 mins - treadmill, 20 mins - cross trainer and 10 mins bike I also got a one hour personal training session tonight so hopefully I'll be all set for next week....There will be a little less cardio and a little more weights so we'll see how that works. I bought a scale to weigh food today instead of just guessing (which means I can't cheat anymore) Congrats missthing on your upcoming wedding!

Well (as usual I blew it yesterday - Socializing and diet just don't go together for me) Back on track today Calories will be: 1288 Carbs - 60.1 % Fat - 17.8 % Protein - 22.1 It's amazing that yesterday I ate 2671 calories and today I ate 1288 yet there wasn't a huge difference in how much I ate. (Just what I ate) Went to gym - 25 mins treadmill, 20 mins bicycle, 5 mins step and new weight routine for legs. Tomorrow is upper body.

Serenity - Huge congratulations on 70 days (Plus your daughter is home)...This is definately a time to celebrate ... you deserve to have a little fun. Yesterday - 1249 calories Today - 1534 calories Yesterday - 20 mins cross trainer, 10 mins bicycle, 5 mins step machine and 10 mins treadmill (doing stage 2 of new program which alternates weights and cardio - upper body yesterday) Today - 10 mins step machine, 15 mins treadmill and 10 mins cross trainer plus 10 mins ab class Tomorrow - out for supper with the girls! Whoops - I do believe that I will be bad again...(but until tomorrow I am just a tiny wee bit below the 150 mark which means 12 lbs lighter than when I started) Windy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 161 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,236 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $805 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 1

Happy Valentine's Day to you guys too! I've blown the last 2 days - Yesterday was about 1941 calories (no exercise) and today was 1595 calories (no exercise) which means I don't even get my fruit smoothit tonight! Time to get back on track tomorrow...

Yowza - I have been eating out all week and it shows on my calorie count. Yesterday was okay (I think) - 1377 calories (but way too much fat) Today was worse - 1726 calories (and I REALLY want my fruit smoothie tonight! - It's not even calculated in) Even worse...I am going away for the weekend which means no gym work outs and blowing diet yet again (I'll be lucky to maintain) On a positive note - I did go to a power fitness class in my lunch hour today.
