Well done to everyone who completed the February challenge, and a warm welcome to all newcomers!
Here goes for another half stone challenge!
Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for March! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it ;-))
I use this site
http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php
You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!
If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T
Remember - It's 2009 and we are doing just fine!!!

Airlyeth,
I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

Ooo can I join? I'm a right fatty at the moment. Currently calorie counting for 1000 a day plus gym five times a week.
The last six weeks I've been averaging 1500 cals with easier gym sessions (400 cals) and have lost 4lbs. It doesn't seem enough for the effort so I am going hardcore!0 -
Count me in too please
I'm not sure what's happened but Feb has been a bit of a write-off so I'm gonna try super duper hard in March!!!! You all have permission to poke me with sticks if I'm still same weight this time next monthAll the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person...

*snerk* I like the fact that you have me down straight away - the fact that it will take me 1,000 years to shift the weight means a lot of 7 pound chunks! :rotfl:Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
