I am sooo in on this, and for me its summer and if I really wanted to I could wear an athletic bikin but need a lil more toning!!! But heres my stats

At the beginning of last year(again before MFP) 200

MFP has backed me up in losing two of the pesky last 20 I have to drop I am small in size so my goal is 110. I will settle for 115 though!!! Good luck to all0 -
Ugg. Up one. My oldest son turned sixteen last week, I had TWO barbecues to attend on Saturday, and I hurt my neck/shoulder sometime in there. It's on the mend now, but I JUST polished off the last of the birthday cake. I actually put it in the freezer and told my self, "self, if you still want it when you get home from work, then you can eat it." So I did. At least now it is GONE! "Live to play another day"~~Coach on The Water Boy. The shoulder is getting better, and tomorrow I will play another day.0

Not a good WI this week, a gain back the 1 pound I lost. I have look back over my journal, I didn't go
over, I did used some of my extra calories, I WO for an hr to 45 min everyday. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I DOING WRONG. :sad: :sad: I just can't get out of the 190's and stay out. :sad: :sad:0 -
I agree, plateaus are hard to get over. Here's my plan, maybe it will work for you. I read that American eat their calories at the wrong end of the day. In other words we tend to eat more in the evening and lighter in the morning. I'm working hard to switch that around by eating more of my calories in the morning an throughout the day and less at night. Hopefully, that will give my body time to burn off more naturally. If anyone else has tried this let me know how it worked for you.
Have a great weekend everyone!! Stay focused!!

I've done some emotional eating this week. One of my sons has just graduated from college and is off to Chicago for work (we live in CA). He is a wonderful cook and has been cooking at dinner time and it has been very difficult for me to not overeat. There is a mix of good food, joy that he is home, and a sense of impending loss that he is soon to move across the country. All of these emotions add to my impulse to EAT!!!
I agree with denisez, evening calories are where I have my biggest challenges. If I can go to bed empty (not hungry, but empty) and do that consistently I will loose weight. But evening is when I emotionally eat. I reward myself for a hard day at work, I nurture myself, I enjoy myself and my family WITH AND THROUGH FOOD! These associations with food are not really helpful and keep me eating when actually, I've had enough calories. So I have to be very conscious in the evening.
What helps for me in this regard is to come home after work, change my clothes, and then sit in my bedroom for about five minutes before going into the kitchen. I connect with what my body is feeling, how hungry I am, how tense my body is, etc. Then I connect with where I'm at emotionally, whether or not I feel stressed, how challenging the day has been etc. Then I just sit with this experience and breathe with it, relaxing the body and feeling through whatever is going on. After about 5 minutes I remind myself about why being fit and lean is important to me and the one's that I love. Then I go out and prepare my food, or eat, if it is prepared already.
That has been a real help to me at night, WHEN I DO IT! Just as often I just go into the kitchen and grab the first thing that I can put into my mouth, as though I'm a starving man who hasn't eaten all day -- which is never the case! If I start my evening meal like that I'm very likely to overeat and go to bed full: Not a good weight loss strategy.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
