I gain, I lose, I gain again.. Any advice on how to break the trend?

    Figure out why you are gaining and stop doing that.
    Figure out why you are losing and keep doing that.

    When you "fall off the wagon" and cheat on your diet do you have one extra serving or a little dessert or do you just say "screw it!" and stop caring for weeks?

    Do you set your weight loss goals to a slow and gradual loss that doesn't leave you hungry, or do you get super committed and expect perfection?

    Be more strict with your eating and exercise plan. Cheats should be very infrequent. If you are good all week but cheat on weekends that is basically guaranteed failure

    It doesn't look like you're keeping a food diary? Doing so would be a great start! There's a mobile ap if you're always on the go-makes it easier to keep track(and your phone can scan all the nutrition info right in).

    I have no problem losing the weight, the real problem is weekends. I go to a lot of events (MC world) where the crappy food is plentiful. I need suggestions on what I can carry with me that is healthy (SNACKS) between meals to resist the urge to eat the junk.

    Beef jerky, protein bars, protein chips etc.
    Chose water to drink and continue to use myfitnesspal during the weekend as well. Even if you then go over your caloric goal for that day you have more control of what you eat.
    Im guessing you ARE using myfitnesspal since you are posting this in this forum. :-)

    What about a healthy filling meal beforehand ao you're not tempted? drink lots if water so your mouth is occupied with that and not food? although then there's the need for a bathroom...maybe not the best idea
