These photos & stories are great! good job, everyone!

I wonder how these people who've lost 50 lbs in a year (or more) can keep losing without backsliding.

I started working out & food logging on MFP in March 2008. I was doing great until my 4 week summer vacation, where I gained back the weight I'd lost. I didn't food log consistantly again until now--though I've worked out regularly--aeorbics & strength training. However, I'm back to where I started last March.

So.....how do you manage eating habits during vacations & other irregular times? I just don't want to fall that far off the wagon again!

Thanks for any feedback you can give!

Wendy,

I joined MFP in Oct 2007 and by Oct 2008 I had lost 90lbs and reached my goal. Some months were better than others, however I didn't let my 'bad' months discourage me.
For me it's a matter of I don't want to go back to where I was over a year ago. Now, do I cheat once in a while- of course, especially on vacations. I try not to go overboard and still eat right, though I don't watch what I eat as carefully. I also try to get some exercise in while I'm on vacation, though that doesn't always happen either. I do make sure that I get right back into my healthy eating and workouts as soon as I get back. Also during this past Holiday season I didn't watch as closely, but now I am back into my routines and feel good.

If you have the right mindset, it can be done. You definitley have to be ready for this lifestyle change for it to take affect. I stated that I started on Oct 2007, that's not completely true. I joined this site just to track my calories in 2007, however, I have beeen struggling with my weight for about 12 years now, I was going to the gym, but only 2 times a week, and rarely doing any cardio. I was also not eating correctly as I was only eating 2 rimes a day, usually. In Oct 2007 I had a wake-up call of sorts. I was walking around picking things up and was having a hard time catching my breath. That was when I decided I needed to start taking my health more seriously. At the same time I signed up with a trainer at my gym that wouldn't put up with my lame excuses of why I wasn't doing cardio. Now I had other trainers in the past, but they never pushed me the way that my trainer now does. She is definitley a big reason as to why I have done so well. Now I eat right- 5 to 6 times a day, and work out 5 to 6 days a week with at least 4 days of cardio & 3 days of weights, and yeas I do cardio after my workouts.

Hope this helps you a little. Good luck.
