QUESTION OF THE DAY - THURSDAY

What are your favourite weight loss tools?

I would have to say MFP is my fav weight lost tool. You guys rock! Your supportive and encouraging. When I see ur progress stories and success stories I know that I can do it!

QUESTION OF THE DAY - FRIDAY

How do you stay on track during the weekend?

I have planned most of my meals and am determined to make healthy choices when out such as salad. I prefer to be quite strict during the week and relax at the weekends but still remember to avoid my triggers, in my case sugar and cheese.

Another great question. I sit down Sunday night and write out my plan of attack for the week. I decide how many times I plan to workout and how often. I also decide what foods I'm going to limit or avoid for the week. My biggest thing on the weekend is working out. I have to workout first thing in the morning, than take a hour relax and think about my day. If I have plans like dinner I try to know prior to the weekend so I can plan for it.

The weekend is a big challenge for me. I have scheduled my weigh in on Saturday so that I will not over eat on Friday to sabotage my results. On the weekends I always have a workout planned and recently started playing outdoors with my dear son.

Wow! Great job ladies, I am truly inspired by your stories xoxoxoxo
I'm not sure what to answer for this question today so I will have to come back to it.:happy:
Oh and Friday's too. hmmm

QUESTION OF THE DAY - THURSDAY

What are your favourite weight loss tools?

My favorite tool is no doubt, My fitness pal. I have found so much love and support. This journey is so hard to do on your own, but now I have so many people who are there for me and are rooting for me to succeed. I love this and I love all of you!

Thurday QOTD: My favorite tool to use is the MFP app. Sometimes I'm out and don't have acces to a computer but I will always have access to my phone.


Friday QOTD: What helps me stay on track is pulling up my MFP app in the morning and plan my meals early so that way I know how to stick to my meal plans.

QUESTION OF THE DAY - FRIDAY

How do you stay on track during the weekend?

WHAT?!?! It's possible to stay on track during the weekend!?!?!?! Just kidding, but this is my BIGGEST struggle. So far, I haven't found anything that works for me, so I don't really have an answer to the question....but I am very anxious to hear what others have to say. I'm hoping that somebody has an idea that clicks with me!

I couldn't agree more. Weekends are always a struggle for me because I rely heavily on the routine that I have established during the week. What I am going to aim to do this weekend and for future weekends is to create a weekend routine that still works for me. In fact, I am going to say now that tomorrow I will create an agenda for the weekend and stick to it. Not only will this help me with my diet, but I think I will also benefit from better time management overall. I wish I had a dollar for every time I said, "What, the weekend is over already?" Lol!

QUESTION OF THE DAY - FRIDAY

How do you stay on track during the weekend?

The best thing that helps me stay on track at the weekend is having a Monday weigh in I know if I go mad at the weekend (too much salty food or alcohol etc) then I will for sure have at least extra water weight for my weigh in. So I always eat sensibly drink lots of water and exercise both days. And when I eat out at the weekends I will opt for salad or veg with lean meat so I stay on track.

I scheduled my weigh-in for Monday for much the same reason...

I bump up the exercise on the weekend so I can eat more. This weekend, particularly, because we're going to a Mother's day brunch after church Sunday. I will just increase my calorie burn so I can increase my calorie intake Plus, just being cognizant of making good food choices is key. One other thing I do is to try and get out of the house - because if I stay in the house I tend to go searching for something to eat!
