I suck at staying under my calories on the weekend! I could be down like 6lbs, but I gain a pound back almost every time I go over my calories.
I think I need to start splitting my grocery shopping up to two times a week because by the end of the week, I don't have anything good left! Maybe I need to do part of my shopping on Sunday and part of it on Thursday? Does anyone else do this?
I did get up this morning and run for 17 minutes. Tonight, I'm going to get my clothes ready ahead of time! It was nice to have 180 extra calories before I even started eating today.0 -
I suck on the weekends too - I would have had my last 5 pounds off a long time ago if I was faithful with my eating on the weekends BUT, I think the only reason this is working for me is because I am not denying myself. I get right back on track come Monday. Im trying to watch it a little more this month on the weekends since I am so close to my goal.0

I just feel like my weight fluctuates so much. One time I step on the scale and I am down but the next time it has skyrocketed back up to the original number. It does this every week even though I keep my calories under by 300 or more each day and throw in exercise 6-7 days a week.
Weekends aren't to bad for me overall. I find I can get outside more now and as long as I keep my fridge stocked with fruit, I will eat that instead of other more fatty foods.0 -
Weekends are really hard. I try to only have one "flexible" day, but I usually end up having two. Friday nights are also hard, because we sometimes go out for dinner.
I feel my greatest accomplishment is signing up for My Fitness Pal, after several months of procrastinating. My biggest struggle is being a mom of two young children and finding the time/energy to make all the positive changes I want to. I keep reminding myself it is a process and I feel like I am off to a good start.
My Fitness Pal has really helped me get re-motivaed and all of your posts/updates, keep me pushing to do better! Thanks My Fitness Pal friends! 0 -
I dont know how you do it with the little ones. Just know that you are headed in the right direction and dont beat yourself up.0

Keeping up the exercise is getting easier to do - I'm loving the Chaotic Aquatic and walking a mile a day at school. I have vowed to stay off the scale since last month and I did until last Friday. Now I've weighed myself everyday since. Tomorrow I am going back to not checking because it's too discouraging to see it go up and down so much.0

I am really struggling to get back into exercising. After being sick (and still coughing!) I just am having trouble getting back into the swing of things.
I would have to say that I love how clothes are fitting right now. I really need to buy some new capris, as my ones from last summer are so big that I can take them off without unbuttoning them!
I also ordered a bridesmaid dress and it was a full size smaller than the one I ordered earlier this year. To put the icing on the cake, the smaller size was even a little too big! Looks like I'll be paying for some alterations.
When I see Tim on the weekends, he tells me that he can definitely see a difference, so that's also a pretty big accomplishment, especially since I don't always see a difference in my own weight.0 -
Erin: I completely understand the exercise thing. I takes so long to get into a routine of exercising and with one or two days missed, it is so easy to get out of that routine!
Find something you enjoy and ease back into it. I know I am motivated by the extra calories I earn with MFP when I exercise! Not sure if that is good or bad!
I have also noticed your weight loss and you should feel really proud of your accomplishments!! Keep up the good work...you are doing GREAT! 0
