Not doing so good

I am doing terrible! I lose a few pounds during the week and then every weekend I blow it big time! Then Monday comes and I won't even get on the scale. Pretty sure I've gained back anything I did lose and then some. Can't seem to gain any control.

    We are creatures of habit. I am assuming you have a fairly hectic (but normal) work week with more free time on the weekend. If it makes you feel any better, I have the same issue.

    Thankfully, the weather is warming up which means more yard work and other outside (and hopefully calorie burning) activities.

    Weekends can be rough. Could you skimp a little on calories during the week, so eating a little more on the weekends won't undo all your hard work?

    It IS finally warming up! And getting outside would certainly help if I could find the will power to leave the cheese and wine inside. Lol!

    I've tried this but not with great results. I need to just find a way to stay strong on the week-end. I just don't know what that way is.

    I stopped weighing myself all together. Instead I take a progress picture every month, and I find that the motivation is much better.

    What worked for me was pre-logging my food for the weekend. Plan what you're going to eat, log it and stick to it. Makes things a lot easier.
