Ah man! I was up for a good derail story!!!!!!!!!No twinkies,pop tarts,bacon sandwich, or a whole bag of Holoween candy?


mmmmm....bacon


Sorry folks ~ not this time but hang in there as I'm sure there will be plenty of times I cry on your shoulder about eating a whole bag of something sweet as they are usually my downfall!

Here's another site that one can use for determining their daily caloric needs.

http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/

Just remember that you need a weekly deficit of 3500 calories for each pound you want to lose.  This can be done through calorie restriction, exercise, or a combination of both.  My goal is to lose 2 pounds per week, so I shoot for a 1000 calorie deficit each day.  I have a Bodybugg which definitely makes it a bit easier to make sure I'm on track with my calories in vs. calories out each day.

Good morning! I am down another pound, so says the scale. I'm happy with that. If I keep losing one pound every week or week and a half I'll be happy. I've definitely upped my workouts. My final half marathon of the season is one month out. After that, I'm really looking forward to getting into more strength training, cycling, and swimming.As far as food goes, The Daily Plate has forced me to stay on track. So, all is well. I did have another food/wine fest this past weekend with friends, but this one was only for one dinner as opposed to the whole weekend!160.2/158.2/145Have a wonderful day, all!

Seeing as I got through Thanksgiving (Canadian) and lost a pound from last week (I was 141), I'm ok with that weight.

Up a pound from last week, but that doesn't surprise me since I upped the calories. Next week I think I'm going to shoot for 1800 instead of 2000 and see if I feel better. I'll work my way up to 2000 because I feel like it's too much for me.

Michelle, is it too late to join you guys? 

I'm doing the Halloween challenge, and it hasn't really helped me to lose weight as much as I had hoped, but I do like the accountability and the support.  I think this will be especially good through the holidays.  My HIM is on Nov. 7 so I am also hoping that after that, with a decrease in training volume and intensity, it will also be easier to restrict calories a bit more!

Plus one lb from last week...not too happy about that. I was so good except for one treat (the local ice cream shop was closing for the season, the ice cream was half price and I couldn't help myself)...that one treat cost me an entire pound?!?! Arrgghhh.

At least I got a bike ride in today.

Well, I'm up this week.  165/166/150.  I had a big volume weekend (compared to what it has been), and I think I got carried away.  Not cool.  I'm starting to realize just how much discipline is going to be required with this goal.  I guess it's better to learn now, 40 weeks out from race day, rather than later!

Glad everyone had good success this week.  I'm definitely looking forward to next week!

the same- 162. No excuses- too much in- ( ie Thanksgiving celebrations- including way too much pumplin pie ++ various other yummies...) vs calories used.... Going to be a tough week- as 1/2 marathon this Sun- followed by some planned time away... I better prepare now!!

ok...i was pretty anxious about this...but:
155/153.0/140

I can't believe I was down some!  I ran the chicago marathon (it was amazing!!! and i qualified for boston) and it was my birthday too this week, so I used it all as a major excuse to eat crap.  Shouldn't have...feel like crap now.  But, now that I ran my first marathon and I'm really hoping to go under 3:30 at Philly in five weeks and under 3:20 in Boston, I am REALLY motivated to get down to 140.

My focus for this week is going to logging my food.  Otherwise I just don't pay attention and don't lose weight.  I don't gain, but I don't lose, I just stay.  I've been hovering between 153-157 for a couple years now.  It's not a bad weight...but 140 would be an ideal marathoning and long-distance tri weight...

Congrats to all that lost this week!!!
