Do you need something to eat on your trip to work? I keep protein bars around for that.
If you want something warm, check the recipe threads for overnight oats. Made in a slow cooker or instant pot and ready to go when you get up.
Yes I am looking to eat on my trip to work. Thanks for the tip!0 -
Hey everyone. Didn’t check in this weekend because it has been a rough week that mostly consisted of me stress/binge eating, not logging, and avoiding the scale. Everything from Halloween candy to donuts and I honestly felt sick! Don’t know why I always do this! This morning, I finally got up the nerve to step on the scale and started logging again after a week off. Says I gained 7.5 lbs! I knew it was bad, but hoping some of that is water weight. I need to get back on track but I still feel mentally drained and just want to eat. Especially worried since I have a friend coming to town this weekend and am worried that it will derail me again before I even have a chance to get back on track. Any advice/support is appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Other stuff that's easy to eat on the go - jerky, salami, pepperoni or deli meats like sliced ham or turkey. String cheese or sliced cheese. Make rollups with string cheese and sliced meats. Almonds or peanuts. Other fruits like apples or nectarines.
I keep protein bars, string cheese, jerky, and almonds in a cooler in my car for eating on the go. Gives me snacks that fit my eating plan and keeps me out of the convenience stores and fast food joints.

Very unlikely that you gained 7.5 lbs. in a week. That would take massive calorie intake. My weight bounces all over the place. I just watch the trend line and ignore the daily ups and downs. I'd bet you'll drop several pounds with a couple of regular eating days.brttny7979 wrote: »...This morning, I finally got up the nerve to step on the scale and started logging again after a week off.

Let your friend know that ahead of time that you need to stay on track. Try to plan some activities that will include some exercise. Avoid activites that might lead to overeating or going off program.Especially worried since I have a friend coming to town this weekend and am worried that it will derail me again before I even have a chance to get back on track.

Getting closer to my goal each day! I am 6 lbs away from a healthy/normal BMI. It has been 10+ years since I have weighed what I do and even longer since I weighed my goal weight.3 -
@brttny7979 I agree with what the others mentioned, most of it is more than likely it water weight. Not sure if I have mentioned to you before, but you can give cucumber water a try to rid some of the excess water! A friend mentioned it to me on one of the forums, and it worked wonders for me. Some people add parsley and lemon also, but I just cut cucumber slices and poured ice water over it in a tall glass and kept filling it up all day. I drank probably close to a gallon. (I drink around a gallon of water per day anyways)1

Hi All,
Please count me in if not too late to join!
December 31st would be a great challenge for my target weight - I'd need to lose about 1kg per week (2.2 lbs), so it would take some discipline, but I guess that is why it is called a challenge.

Definitely "hitting the hump" today, so it's good to see everyone sticking to their goals!2 -

Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)
6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.
8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA!
8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA!
8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!
9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.
9/20/2018 - 208.5 - Missed last week's weigh in. Up a bit today - eating too much some days, still. Need more discipline! Weights going up - so that's a positive.
9/27/2018 - 205 - welcome to the roller coaster. Maintaining in the 204-210 range for several months now. I'm going to restrict calories for a few weeks to see if I can get a slow, steady loss going.
10/4/2018 - 204 - YAY! Lowered my calorie target to 2000 per day. A bit of a struggle some days. Will try this for six weeks and see if I can get to Onederland.
10/11/18 - 205 - and I saw 202 earlier in the week. I think I'm on the right track. The trend is slowly downward. It's hard to be patient, though.
10/21/18 - 208.5 - that's what being away from home at meetings and restaurants and no logging will do. Was away and ubale to weigh in last Thursday. We shall see if the gain is temporary.3 -
Bit of a yo-yo week this one. I have been logging and sticking to targets, but it has been up and down.

I've had a bad week. I've felt rubbish in general and I've struggled to stay at maintenance much less lose. Scale says I've gained a bit. Hoping it's just to do with me being bloated from the beer I had yesterday.
