    I had a pretty good week overall. Last night I overate and had a lot of salt, which seems to be a pattern for Saturday dinners for me! The extra 2 pounds will probably disappear in a day or two. I seem to be on a plateau as my weight has been teetering between 175 and 178 for many weeks. I know if I cut my target calories down by 200 each day, I would likely break this plateau, but I guess I'm not willing to do that at the moment.

    Daily Post... Sunday
    Tracked: so far yes and I only have like 274 calories left for the day/dinner
    Calories: going to stick to it.. I have roast chicken for dinner and then maybe cucumbers galore.
    Exercise: cleaning like crazy. Sweating it up. Moved couches. Cleaned the baseboards even.

    I do this every Friday that’s why my weigh in is Friday morning lol it should be the lowest weight for me in the week haha

    Tracked: yes
    Calories: under I think
    Exercise: no

    I think calories were under but hard to say. I made chicken ala king and relied on selecting a general category to estimate calories instead of entering every ingredient.

    Daily Post Sunday
    Track: No
    Calories: Probably under. I didn't eat anything incredibly horrible. I actually am proud of myself for being mindful even though I didn't officially track anything.
    Exercise: 15 mins cardio (unintentionally :p )
    Day: I had a paper to write so yesterday was a pretty sit down and do it kind of day. My mood and my emotions have been a bit of a train wreck and I've been craving DIET SODA LIKE CRAZY! I usually drink carbonated water, but it's just not cutting it.
    Water (goal 40 oz): 24 oz


    I was SO motivated from March-May. Then summer hit in Alaska and all the campfire/cook out food really blew me off track. How do you guys get the motivation back? I've gained 6 lbs! That's a lot on my 4'8 frame. (like 2 sizes!) I'm thankful for you guys keeping me accountable.

    It’s so hard to get back on track, I feel you! Have you ever tried intermittent fasting? It’s not for everyone but I like it and it makes it easier for me to have like 2 large meals instead of 3 smaller ones -especially on a day where I want a big/special dinner. May be something to consider? Then you could save up your calories for your yummy cookout foods?

    CW: 134lb

    God.. I am trying not to get too down about this but it's hard. I am due on my period, and was away celebrating at the weekend so I know it's not s 4lb gain of pure fat, but it is still very disappointing. Being honest with myself I know I haven't been completely on track as I should have been. I guess it should be the motivation to keep my focused more this week.

    I have 10 weeks until my wedding. I need to lose at least 8 more lb to feel comfortable in my dress. I haven't tried it on since Christmas, and won't have the opportunity to try it until I fly back home the day before the wedding!

    You would have thought this would be motivation enough to stay on track. I don't know what's going on with me.

    Onwards and upwards (or downwards as I hope the scale will go)

    You’ve got this! It’s a stressful time (wedding and covid! I can’t even imagine) so don’t be too hard on yourself. Can I ask how much weight you’ve lost? (Just curious lol)

    @AmyG1982 Thank you. This time I've been losing weight off and on for the past 2 years and have lost around 40lbs. I Which when I think of it like that is kinda crazy as I feel I still look the same as before!

    The problem is that my wedding dress is my mother's dress, and when it was made they didn't allow much extra material so it can't be altered. It fit me when I tried it before, but was s little too tight to feel comfortable or confident, and due to the covid situation I haven't been able to fly home again to try it. This makes me anxious - but not enough to stay disciplined all the time!

    I hope after this TOM I'll drop the water weight and feel like I'm back on the right track and that my goal is possible!

    I know what you mean, I’ve lost 50 (sitting at 40 now cuz I gained some back 🙄) and I don’t really see a difference either (unless I look at old pics and then it’s like, “yikes!” lol). If there are any additional challenges (No going over calories, exercise every day, no junk food, etc) you’d like to try I’d be happy to do them with you! Maybe an accountability buddy would help haha
