    My Battleground: wine at dinner

    My Strategy: let go of the added calories at night and enjoy an iced cold sparking water instead and to remember that drinking alcohol of any kind presses 'pause' on my metabolism, shoves away the other calories, and says, 'Break me down first!' The result is that whatever I recently ate gets stored as fat. So my strategy and motto for the next 2 weeks will be 'NO WINE BEFORE IT'S TIME'!

    Great job @L8model

    You have been a wonderful source of encouragements for everyone on our Summer challenge! Thank you for sharing your journey and especially for giving so many the encouragement to keep going and to not quit! Yay!

    My pleasure. For me, it does help that my wife has joined me. However, I would still be on the same path, even if she hadn't. I travel a lot, so I'm pretty much on my own half the time anyway.

    You can all do this. I've watched my wife get frustrated to the point she wants to quit, but she's already lost around 30 lbs., so it is definitely working for her. She gets mad, because she doesn't lose the weight as fast as me. However, she keeps moving in the right direction.

    It really is a mindset... Good luck everyone.

    Well I'm back from my trip home and soooo looking forward to getting back to my routine with food and exercise. Managed to put on 2kg in 3 weeks!! Wouldn't have thought it possible but there you go.

    I have been putting off posting my Monday weigh in ... hoping that it will just go away.
    Guess that never happens, right?
    So, here it is.
    I have another gain.
    And I KNOW why.
    I UNDERSTAND what I need to do to stay on track.
    But some weeks, I just can't do it. As hard as I try, and as hard as I would love to be, I just cannot eat perfect all the time.
    And what happens when I eat over my daily target - even by only 200 calories?
    I gain.

    And like I said - I KNOW THIS.
    But I continue to struggle anyway.
    Ugh.

    Well, here is to staying on track this week - and posting my results on Monday, regardless of how ugly they are.
    I still have two weeks!

    Thanks for listening everyone.

    @L8model this was very informative and awesome. Thank you

    My pleasure... I need to correct my initial statement. I actually lost 47.2 lbs in 107 days, not 90 days... I'm now down 51.2 lbs. after 133 days.

    Total lost in challenge: 16 lbs.

    I went to a dietitian for help getting over plateaus, which I have experienced twice in this journey and have seen too often in past attempts to lose weight. I was pretty nervous about it but got support from some of you. I was afraid it would be a visit to the "diet police" but boy was I wrong. She was wonderful. She emphasized what I was doing right, which was quite a lot, and let me tell her what I thought I could improve, with which she concurred. I was not eating enough and was making a big mistake by only eating fruit for snacks when I should have been including a fat and a protein each time I eat. I am also not drinking enough water which is actually harder to do than I thought. I asked her if she owned stock in Charmin! Anyway, I am eating lots more food and have lost three pounds. She knows her stuff and I am sooooo glad I went. Nothing beats success!
