Even though I don't count calories, I would like to know if I have to do anything to update my calorie intake as I lose the weigh or if the site does it automatically?
I kind of keep an eye on it and it hasn't change since I started.
Thanks!View Thread

It seems the same since I guess it didn't change much since I started.
It will change some more as I loose i guess.
Have a great day.View Thread

For the past 2 weeks I gave in to temptation and had some deserts, ice-cream, beer and wine. So I didn't weight in last week, I was sure I had gained weight.
On top of that this week I didn't exercise at all, and still had some of the same stuff.
Even though I had some sweets and alcohol, and no exercise, I tried to watch portion control and eat other good things to balance out.
So, yesterday I didn't take lunch and had my mind set on getting a nice salad with grilled chicken and my manager decided to take all of us at the office for lunch at Firehouse.
I almost said no, but it's a rare occasion when we have an opportunity to have lunch together, so I went. I ate 1/2 off a medium sandwich and had my usual yogurt with blueberry.
So this morning I decided to face the scale and realized that I lost 2.5lbs this past 2 weeks for a total of 20lbs down!
I had a feeling my clothing was getting loose, but I was surprised with the amount of loss.
That makes me to believe that I'm on the right path, I was worried that I had fall off the wagon to the point of no return, so as you all can imagine, I'm glad I didn't.
I learned that is really not what you eat occasionally that makes you gain weight, it really is your eating habits over all that counts.
I'm not on any special diet and I don't take any medication for weight loss, and I REALLY don't want to say no to family and friends on a count of my weight loss.
I believe in moderation and keep it real.
Have a great week everyone

I'm sorry you're unemployed, but I'm sure it will not be for long.
Trust me, I know about stress and have lost 3 of the 4lbs you gained was a great accomplishment.
It's very hard to be focus during a stressful time, so be proud of your self.
I've been following you since you start with the board and I
really enjoy to ready your posts.
I wish you best of luck !
Have a great week

You don't feel intimidate when you have to go out to eat, or when you have to face a holiday getting, because you know you can always find something within the health lines everywhere.
I'm experience that feeling right now, and it's amazing!
I believe I feel this way because I'm getting informed, I exercise most days (at least 4 times a week), and I don't put too much pressure on my self as far as how many lbs a week should I lose or how long should take for me to lose the weight. I have short term goals and works better for me.
WebMD has playing a big role on my journey, keeps me informed and give me tools to pursue my goals, and this community has been a great support.
I lost 2.5lbs 2 weeks ago, 0.5lbs last week and 1.5 this week, that has been my pattern, little by little, and it's ok. I have lost a total of 15.5lbs and I feel great.
So this week I want to share a summary of my journey so far and say thank you to all of you for the encouragement and support!
Have a great week everybody

I'm one of those who's lost might take couple of weeks to really show. I lose little by little, some weeks just 0.5 or 1lb and some weeks nothing at all.
Had a little set back over Easter but back on the horse I went and here I'm losing again.
It's hard work, for me the most difficult thing as I have said before, is to wake up in the morning to go to the gym, but it really pays off.
Exercise makes feel so good and empowered to make better choices.
One thing that it's different this time around( and I'm grateful), is that I'm not craving sweets anymore, witch is my weakness.
I believe that the combination of eating right, exercise and giving up
the daily glass of wine, is providing my body with all its needs and that's curbing my craves on sweets and other bad things.
I'm trying to stay positive about all this, but sometimes can't help to be afraid that some day I'll give up and go back to my old habits.
That's why this community is very helpful.
I can come to the board an read about everyone's success and that gives me the boost to keep on going.
Have a great week everybody

Great job in losing all the weight you have lost. You should be VERY proud of your self.
Enjoy your single digit pants!
You are a great inspiration for someone like me that want one day to be in you shoes.
It seems so far away and I'm trying really hard to convince my self that I can do it.
I will walk a 5k in a couple of weeks, i don't run due to arthritis in both knees. I'm looking forward to.
Congrats once more, you have accomplished a phenomenal task and you are a great example for people like me just starting the journey.
Have a great week

enjoy every little bit of it even though I felt very stuffed.
So instead of seat on the sofa and feel sorry for my self i went for a
long walk in the park with my boyfriend, it was great.
We got back home and after a little wile I had a bit more of desert.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I'll go back on my health habits.
At least, I made the desert with low fat milk, low fat sour cream and low fat whipped cream.
What I'm doing in a healthier life style and I'll give my self permission to
eat some of the old goodies from time to time.
Have a great week everybody
