I have been off the wagon for almost a month. I never got back into the habit of tracking after my vacation last month, and spending it without WiFi (even though it was only four days.) I keep tracking breakfast, but then being too lazy to add recipes, or too anxious about having overeaten and not wanting to see the number.

I have a bit of rekindled energy now that I've seen I've been able to lose/maintain (but not gain!!) weight while not keeping track. So this has me motivated and confident. Hoping to start the week fresh and get my logging habits back on track, for more weight-loss! I'll update this evening with how that went for today!

Struggled to actually get over 1200 today. It was an odd day. Wish I always had this problem. Needless to say I was under today

Still eating properly even tho I have not been checking in with you guys but I am a bit bummed out because the scale is not moving at all. I have been stuck for at least a month at the same weight give or take the same 4 or 5 pounds depending on if I am working the night shift or if I am off a few days. I know I need to step up the exercise but there are days that I feel exhausted and its all I can do to get my household chores done.

Came in just at count even though I succumbed to the temptation of a Snickers bar that was *staring* @ me in the drugstore checkout line!

...Although I could really eat a nice chunky kit kat right now. I need to be allergic to chocolate

I TOTALLY wish that I had the same reaction to chocolate that I have to cottage cheese & sour cream..which is "ewwww, yuck"!

I ended up going over by 655 yesterday. I'm not feeling great at the moment so I want comfort food. But I am still going to record everything.

Came in 9 calories over yesterday. Not real worried about that much

Came in over by 51 calories yesterday Not bad considering that there were baked goods in the house!

On track

...was slightly under until late night snacking sent me over by 80...c'est la guerre!

I'm here too MM...trying to get back to posting on this thread everyday!

Once again, the late night snacking did me in...over by 62
I've plateaued as well. So I lowered my calories just a bit (as suggested by a friend who's an RD--the reasoning being that weighing less than I did when I started this weight loss adventure means that I now have a lower "basal metabolic rate", so calorie reduction is needed to stay @ 300-500 calories below what my body burns). Unfortunately, I'm finding that I am SO friggin hungry at night that I eat those calories back! I think that I really just need to make better, more filling food choices towards the end of the day!

Monday wasnt too bad--I had more control over the cravings & came in right @ goal!

Wednesday was good. Came in under by ~200 & didn't feel hungry in the evening...

Over by 180 and feeling defeated

I know how easy it is to feel defeated when I've gone off the rails w/food. But keep reminding yourself that it was only 1 day & over by 180 is SO much better than being over by 500 or 1000 (which I've done!!). You can still reel yourself in & end up having a successful week!

MM, I read a couple of "plateau" articles on the MFP blog that were helpful/anxiety-reducing...here's a link to the last 1

Came in just under count on Fri., but I am *just* a wee bit doubtful that Rice Krispies for lunch, dinner AND snack would be considered part of a "nutritionally sound" eating plan!
