    Hello, I am going on a vacation to Denver next week, SO looking forward to it. BUT I have to deal with having less control over my food choices. I worry I will not only overeat, but then when I return I will have trouble sticking to my goals. I do have the App for myfitnesspal on my phone, so I am going to try to keep logging for better or worse.
    Any advice appreciated!

    Christy, I am actually just returning from a long weekend in Fort Collins CO. I’m not sure how I did because I haven’t weighed in but the first thing I did was to load up on fruit at the grocery store. I also tried to pick one meal or treat a day where I splurged a bit and for the other meals chose salads with a protein and skipping cheese and other high calorie options. I was a bit anxious being outside of my bubble and attempted to track even though many meals out were estimates. I would love to have lost this week and would be satisfied staying the same. But I know I made MUCH better choices than I would have if I took this trip before starting MFP and didn’t track. So i am going to consider it a iwin even if I do gain.

    Thanks for your support Alicia! I love your positive approach and hope I do as well on my trip to Denver (first time to CO!). And good advice about making food choices. I am most concerned about travel days when I will be ultra anxious about flying.

    And mmccloy, may you reach your next goal soon! I also learned the hard way that if I don't eat for several hours, I will have cravings. Last time I ate two bananas rapidly - guess it could have been worse (cookies!).

    Hey guys, I am down a couple pounds this morning from the 266 of last week. I know most of that is just from getting back on track but I will take it. Today my goal is to stay under my calorie goal for the day. I have already logged EVERYTHING that I should be eating and as long as I stick with the plan there should be no problem. I think my biggest thing is adding food at night when I am watching TV with my hubby. After all 4 of our kids have gone to bed and we are finally relaxing I feel like I need something to munch on. My plan for this is to plan a snack and allot calories for it. I will check back in tomorrow to let you all know how I did. It really is just a matter of saying NO to my cravings not sure WHY it is so hard!!! :D

    On the app, just touch “quote”. On a PC there is option for quote in the response

    SW: 238.9 (2016)
    October 1: 208.6
    October 8: 207.2
    October 15: 206.6
    October 31 goal: 199.9
    GW: 160.0

    Goal check:

    1. Exercise 3 times a week. - 5 times last week!!
    2. Log everything thing I eat - before I eat it. - this hasn't happened. I missed logging completely this weekend. trying harder this week.
    3. Participate in the boards on MFP. - check. other than this weekend when I completely logged out of everything.

    Feeling frustrated with the slowness of the loss... Trying to remember that even if I continue at the pace I'm losing I could be 26 pounds down in a year. Learning to trust the process is hard. :s

    Starting weight 273
    Current weight 248

    Haven’t been logging consistently but have still been eating low carb. Not seeing a whole lot of progress on the scale although clothes are much looser and Ive replaces a pair of size 22 jeans with an 18 (Yeah NSV).

    Have attempted intermittent fasting with some success in the past. Thinking about giving it a go again. I don’t really feel hungry in the morning anyway so I’m ok with just coffee. Not sure how I feel about skipping lunch at work too.

    Goals for 2019:
    September under 250 (missed it by 0.6)
    October under 245
    November under 240
    December under 235

    Goal for August 1, 2020: Onederland and a size 16 or smaller dress at my son’s wedding. (Currently a size 22)
