    Ok so I have to admit I had kinda forgotten about this challenge until today, I had gotten off track since being sick about mid month July and I am just proud to have complete logging for the last couple days. I guess I will officially weigh in tonight and let you know how I am doing.

    welcome back! :flowerforyou:

    hope you are feeling better and look forward to hearing how things are going.

    Maintained this week.

    Challenges - definitely hectic in my life right now and hard to eat on a good schedule. Hoping this changes when school starts Tuesday.

    Successes - well, I didn't gain.

    This week is going a lot better than the last several have. I was doing horrible at logging and watching what I was eating and I ended up gaining about 7lbs total, but that has changed!! I am now down 2lbs of the 7 I gained and I have logged everything the last 3 days at least!! Yay for small victories!!

    Challenges this week:
    - The husband has Dr. Pepper nice and cold in the fridge and I am addicted!!!
    - Not having a lot of energy for working out.

    Successes:
    - Lost 2lbs!!!!
    - Worked out a little bit everyday, even when I didn't feel like it.
    - Actually logging in.

    I`m entering in late as well, but I love this challenge, its like a game. I am so in! This game keeps things interesting, and its so motivating.. My weigh ins are on Mondays. After dieting on and off, and constantly failing, I`ve made up my mind to stay on track this time. This is day 4 of dieting for me, and I`ve stayed on track so far. I`m about 185 and my goal weight is 140. After my weigh in, I will post my progress.

    Well I see I'm not the only one struggling. So we'll have to see how things go this week. I'm changing things up on my workout schedule. I'm no longer working with the trainer. That's all said and done and I'm now working out on my own. The trainer was more all about "core" strength training then really pushing me to get into shape like I really wanted to. So I'm pulling from past history from over 10 years ago and using some things that she taught me and combining the two to see what happens now. So only time will tell now. I sure hope everyone else is feeling better and good luck to the rest of you. Now let's these pounds disappear!!!!!

    I injured my lower back working out yesterday, which throws me off on the Body Revolution program. For the 3 day Labor Day weekend, I'm head to LA with my family. I'm going to have to be very careful with my eating since that's what gets me in trouble.

    Glad you know what works for you, and what DOESN'T. Not every trainer is a good fit for that particular point in our life. KUTGW!

    It's FRIDAY!!!

    So, what are your plans for success this weekend?

    I have a birthday party tonight, a benefit/fundraiser tomorrow evening, another birthday party tomorrow night (I'm thinking these were New Year's babies....LOL).

    My plan for success is to have an on-plan meal before I leave the house, and I offered to take something to both of the parties, so I KNOW there will be something I can snack on.

    What is your biggest tip for surviving parties & get-togethers?

    Monday is weigh-in for most of us, so I look forward to hearing all the successes as well as challenges. Have a safe & happy Labor Day weekend!

    I just did my Labor Day goal weigh in. I met my 10. Woo Hoo. I lost 2 this last week.

    Still a little behind on my Halloween goal, but this was encouraging.

    At parties, I tend to get my drink and just sip it till it turns watery. I try to drink a lot of water before going hoping not to be too thirsty. Also, I tend to get small bites of things - just have to remember to track it.

    Some days, if I've been good - I choose to make that my borderline or splurge day. I'm learning that if I don't get frustrated with myself, I will be less discouraged and not continue to splurge once I'm home from the party. If I focus on how badly I did, then I tend to give up.
