in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am working to take off 31 pounds that have crept back on over the past year and a half. I find myself eating well during the week, but once Friday hits and it's the weekend, I totally blow it and lose any progress I've made through the week. I have also been sliding on the exercising, making excuses to just not do it.
I'm joining this site to keep track of my eating and exercise to hold myself more accountable for taking care of my body and health.
I would love to make friends and gain some encouragers!

    Welcome, and good luck! I've lost about 31 lbs using this site, it took me 6 months to do it, though. I'm no longer "overweight," I'm finally back to a healthy BMI. I would like to take off a few more lbs, though, to really get to my ideal body.

    I also have huge problems on the weekend! I only went over my calories 1 day this weekend and it was by about 300 and the scale said I gained 5lbs back. I worked hard the last 3 days and got it back off but my lord seriously 5lbs?
    Good luck to you!

    I am right there with you! The weekends are my downfall. I always undo all my hard work during the week, and by Monday am right back to where I was last Monday (or more!). Add me as a friend an we can keep each other on the right path!

    Make your offical weigh-in day every Monday, that may help energize you over the weekend to stay the course.

    Plan you meals (for the weekend too) ahead of time, know what your having, where you are going.

    You are the only one there to stop you when the food hits the plate and bounces into your mouth. You must want something differnet or you would not be here with 'us'. Be strong for yourself, you can do it just as many others on this site have done and continue to do.

    Now get crackin'
