I thought I had a bad week! I only had 2 chocolate ice cream cones. But the day after those cones I was in a fog and craving more! But other than that, I had some seriously low calorie days. It does get easier as this goes along. Like yesterday I didn't have time to go home for lunch, and I didn't bring any to work, so my only choice with 5 minutes to spare: the gas station. And for the record, you can basically ingest NOTHING from a gas station. The best thing I could find was V8 and I actually felt pretty good all afternoon. It's great not being hungry all the time. I was a bit more tired this week, but I guess I just wasn't sleeping much. I love the updates, it's great to hear that everyone else still has their bad days. Can't wait to see next weeks results.

It's quick and intense, and also provides a lot of bodyweight options, which are perfect if you travel a lot and can't find a decent gym. Excellent work everyone!

Even with a few slips, everyone seems to be benefiting from some changes. Great work all around! And, may I add, all the challengers are doing a great job.

I also want to comment on the comments from last week: I don't only eat 1000 calories a day. The calorie calculations (using the accepted calculations based on body comp) say that to be in a deficit, I should eat between 1400 and 1800 calories a day (my maintenance is around 1900). Thus, I aim for the low end to hopefully end up in some deficit. The numbers posted last week did not include anything I ate for dinner, which would range from 300-600 calories (if I'm being honest I'll add "at least"). I like to eat nuts and nut butter at night and that adds up quick! I'd guess I'm easily at 1500 per day, maybe more. The intake obviously fluctuates a bit. Just for reference, I'm a hobbit-ish 5'1", approx. 113#, so my calorie limits are thusly and sadly on the low end. Thanks for all of you who are keeping up with us and commenting! It's keeping me accountable! Alexandra Hehe - I never thought of a “bake” as a mystery - now I know better!

Alexandra, I know what you mean with the mystery egg bake thing. I've tried many a "healthy" casserole that turned out to be a bit more pasta, cream cheese, and sugar than I'd bargained for.
