Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi Everyone, I'm pretty new to the BFL site, although not new to BFL. I'm ending Week 3, and going strong. I've been lurking here more than posting, and I just want to say thanks to everyone for the inspiration, great tips, and motivation to keep working! Ilove the files that have exercises and nutrition ideas. I think Fire7 was asking for help with motivation. My motivating factor is my long-distance BFL parter, my sister. We live 250 miles apart, and this is a great way for us to connect and get healthy together. We check in with each other several times a day to keep each other focused and motivated, and we check out each other's fitday sites all the time. We have an agreement that if either of us feels like we're about to " leap off the wagon, " we must call the other first before taking that first bite of something unauthorized or skipping a workout...and be talked off the ledge of unhealthful eating. We are getting together in late June and we can't wait to see how each other has progressed. Do you have a friend or family member who wants to get healthy? Maybe that would help. I've never had a workout partner before, and I find it is really motivating and my partner holds me accountable when I feel too weak to be accountable to myself! I have a question about calories. I tend to get hung up on this point, I guess it's the OCD in me. I know we should be eating balanced, portioned meals and snacks six times a day, which I do, but I'm just wondering about caloric intake. I weigh 165 and take in about 1200-1300 calories a day. Does this seem too low? Am I getting too hung up on calories? My goal weight is 135 by October 07. Comments and suggestions are welcome!!
