Anyone else can't stay on track for more then a week?

I'm beginning a fitness challenge on Facebook that'll last 21 days! If you want to join just message me your email address and I'll give you an invite.

You're not doing it right...you're probably trying to be far too restrictive in all aspects...it'll never work that way. You'll figure it out eventually.

Being honest with yourself , weigh your food & track everything !! I'm usually a one week wonder myself but have nearly stuck with mfp for a month now & still enthusiastic !!

Don't have tempting food in your house! I have absolutely no self control. I will quickly shove that cupcake in my mouth before I can tell myself no. Just get rid of it!!! Have ONE "treat". I like light butter popcorn because I feel like I'm snacking but its surprisingly low in calories. Just read the nutritional content before you buy something.

I like to cook so its not a problem for me to invent some healthy, filling, and TASTEY meals. If you want some suggestions just message me. I have a ton on myfitnesspal already.

Once you start shedding the pounds and seeing a difference it will give you the boost and motivation you need to keep going! Because you will see that it is working.

And give yourself one cheat meal a week. For that meal you don't record anything and you can eat that giant plate of pasta with heavy cream sauce and not care. It will help keep you sane if you are having trouble making it through the week without cheating.

if you want it bad enough, you'll make it happen. Lay out your weekly calorie intake goals, exercise regimen, etc on paper and stick to it. Don't be lax, record anything and everything that you eat... Always be accountable. One thing that helps me stay on track is reading others' success stories and before & after pictures.. Keeps me motivated. My number one motivator though is the gym, if I were to go off track then everything I've done was for nothing so it's not worth it. Get your mindset right, will power, and goals in order. When you're truly ready it will happen. My fiancé asked me to bake him brownies last night and I did not want to bc chocolate is my weakness but I did it anyway and did not touch them once they were finished. ????☺️

Yes, but I have self control and listen to the IIFYM crowd - but I am so stressed and busy that weight loss often gets put on hold. This is a rough journey when you run a traveling business, work a regular 70 hours per week and are a full time student.

You'll get there, it just takes time.

Breakfast is my biggest meal of the day!! Usually 200-400 calories. High protein and healthy fiber. I find if I do this I am less likely to be starving later. Also never let yourself be hungry. Small snacks and planning will help tons. And you have to exercise 2-3 days a week, bottom line just do it. Even if only for 30 minutes. I joined an aerobics class at my local community center and it has helped me a lot. When you work out you feel healthy and will make better choices. I do not believe you can cut things out and succeed. EVERYTHING in moderation!! Our bodies need healthy starches, meats and yes even sugar. Also don't beat yourself up if you get off track. Log it, every time, and then MOVE ON. If you get caught up in the negative you won't focus on or try to achieve the positive (a lesson I learned the hard way). I have good days and bad days also, know that you're human forgive yourself, and move on. Chin Up! You can do it!

Yes!! Me !! I have gone 3 wks tops clean eating and exercise.... and then that all stopped, ever since I cannot go more then 5 days...

Self-control is like a muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Start with small things, work your way up.
