Work stress! I started walking during my lunch hour when work stress gets to me. Plug my iPod into my ears, set the timer, start the tunes and I walk for about 30 mins. (I have an hour for lunch) It helps me a lot. I still do my work out in the morning, so if I need the lunch hour walk , it's bonus exercise I get to log!

Road Block would have to be drinking. I used to drink at least 2 days a week. Go out and have 4 or 5 beers. I've cut down to once a week and limited it to 2 drinks per outing.
It's tough when everyone always wants to go grab a couple of beers.

Just for fun: What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? 2 things:
1. junk at the office and eating out of boredom at work
2. alcohol and being social with friends. I don't want to miss out on social occasions (happy hours), but also don't want to not drink at bars. I feel like the best solution is to hit the gym after work instead or see if my friends would be up for doing something active after work instead of happy hours.0 -

Road Block: My leg muscles have been pulled as my right glute wasn't activating so the leg muscles were overcompensating for that...and it's set me back doing so many exercises...I haven't been able to run in 2 months

Just for fun: What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? Well, this month it will be our 10 day vacation at the lake cabin. I'm taking that week off from my "diet". I plan, of course, to eat as well as possible, but will not be logging calories or cooking any separate meals from the rest of the group, so I'll be eating a lot of big breakfasts (pancakes, french toast, etc.), sandwiches (the bread! the coldcuts!), and hearty dinners (mmmmmm, fresh caught pan-fried walleye!)... so it'll be an interesting month. If not for that vacation, my goal weight would be lower for this month.0 -

What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? Time! I'm working overtime now, so doing 50+ hours a week of work, plus studying, plus just living my life adds up, but now that I've been working out 5 days a week I get antsy if I don't go to the gym, so it's nice to see that it's having a positive affect on my outlook.0 -

My busy life! I have an hour commute to and from work, love to workout, and my two young boys are super busy, so we eat out waaaay too much. And because I work out, I starting thinking I could add the sugars/potatoes back in. Now I'm up over 10 lbs from my lowest.0 -

to Nycespyder - I have considered moving this to the groups section, but this one catches so many people that have never been a part of a challenge before that I decided to leave it here. A lot of the other ones are closed groups with specific guidelines to follow and I wanted to keep a nice easy one going.0
