    For today, 6/6/16, I will:

    - Not exceed my calorie goal, for food
    - At drinks tonight, only drink slimline G&Ts - maximum 3 (taking me max 150 calories over my limit)

    Managed to do these, even though I was hungry!

    Also persuaded my friend that I went for drinks with to download MFP - we can be buddies and support each other now.

    Today's commitment -

    - Go to gym after work
    - Finish day with 350+ calorie deficit (after including gym calories)
    -

    Met both of my targets, and actually smashed the second one to the point where MFP told me I wasn't eating enough! (That's never happened before when I've not forgotten to log something)

    Didn't actually feel hungry though despite the deficit, which is encouraging. I won't have that deficit on any other days this week:

    Today going to my friend's for dinner which will make it difficult to stay within calorie limit - the food is generally not healthy and lots of wine is normally involved.

    However, will set the following targets to keep the indulgence down:

    - I'll log the dinner, even if I am not exactly sure what's in it
    - I'll make sure I don't eat more main course than others - no second!
    - If dessert is one where we choose portion size, I'll have a small portion
    - I'll drink as much diet lemonade as I do wine to keep my appetite under control - and will limit wine to half a bottle MAX

    Hmm, so I managed two of these, I'd say - two of these, though probably wasn't really down to my efforts as opposed to my friends giving me a plate with a small portion size!

    Failed on the other two though - had an entire bottle of wine + double g&t, and failed to log any of the calories. It had been a very bad day so i don't feel too bad about it, however I have to make sure this doesn't happen too often - bad days will happen and I need to learn to deal with them without turning to alcohol/food.

    Today's commitment is very simple: come in within calorie goal!

    Met my goal, came in with zero calories left! I was very hungry though - made me realise that I need to optimise the foods I eat to be fuller - had eaten quite calorie dense but non-filling foods.

    I'm now staying with my boyfriend in Madrid for the weekend so control will be hard - we'll be eating out a bit and don't have a scale in the flat for weighing ingredients. Nonetheless, I'll:

    - Log all the foods I eat, even if I'm not sure I'm being accurate - better to put something than not bother at all
    - not snack outside meals
    - at meals, go for 'healthy options' - or if i want to go for 'non-healthy options' have small portions
    - keep alcohol and milky coffees to a minimum - no more than one coffee per day and order wine by glass (with as much water drunk as wine)

    Will be hard as i like to eat on holiday... will see how i do!

    This is a great idea! I have Fridays off, so it's always a difficult day for me to stay motivated. Therefore, today I will:
    • Do my C25K for the second time this week :( Been focusing too much on weight training.
    • Log all my food, and stay in a deficit.
    • Do some yoga, at least a 15 minute video. All the weight training is making me a little stiff and sore.

    Good morning all! Today I will:

    1. Eat healthy foods, stay within my calorie budget, and log everything I put in my mouth.
    2. Drink at least 64 oz of water.
    3. Get my 15,000 steps in by walking outside, despite 90+ degree heat today.

    Got to work on setting other personal goals for the day, such as housework chores. There never seems to be enough hours in the day when working outside the home. Leaves me with having to choose between chores and exercise. End up feeling guilty when I focus on myself with the exercise.

    I met all these apart from the not snacking outside meals - we had a couple of pre-dinner drinks and in Madrid they always bring you snacks (crisps/olives) with them. I didn't have loads but did have more than I should have.

    Other than that I met them all though. I ended up going 500 cals over, though I'm not sure that's correct, I ate (maybe - not sure) 400g of bread and MFP has said that's nearly 1000 kcal?!

    That seems way too high, however just in case i will try to steer clear of the bread today and eat other things instead! Very hard to track when away, you just don't know how many calories you're eating....

    So yesterday was slightly better in some areas, slightly worse in others, therefore calories consumed were about the same (just under 500 over).

    I avoided bread, which really helped with the calorie intake! On the other hand, I drank more wine than the previous day and had a more fattening dinner - Spaniards put too much olive oil on everything!!

    I need to have a better day today otherwise it will too hard to make up for it before next week's weigh in. So today I will:

    - Not drink any wine - a G & slimline T might be acceptable if I'm doing ok with calories
    - log all my calories again
    - Not exceed my calories my more than 200
    - not eat any of the crisps they give you when you order drinks!

    Today I'm going to try to actually log everything, and stay within my calorie goals. I've gotten so far off track I am pretty much starting over. I'm disappointed in myself, because I worked so hard to get to where I was, but other than the clothes in my closet that used to fit and now don't, you'd never know. I'm also going to walk for 15 minutes, and invite my daughter to come outside with me when I do.

    Well, I went a little AWOL on Friday and did not complete my step goal but I did stay within my calorie goals. Saturday was better but still fell short of goal. I'd been on a 2 week streak of meeting my exercise goals so I guess my body just decided it needed a break.

    I'm back on track today, took an early morning walk, did some cleaning, and mowed the lawn. Almost at steps goal for the day already and it's not 3:00 pm yet. Plan on another walk this evening after supper. Below calories goal so far too. Looking like a good day, feeling good.

    Hope everyone is having a good day too!

    - Finish day with 350+ calorie deficit (after including gym calories)
    -

    Met both of my targets, and actually smashed the second one to the point where MFP told me I wasn't eating enough! (That's never happened before when I've not forgotten to log something)

    Didn't actually feel hungry though despite the deficit, which is encouraging. I won't have that deficit on any other days this week:

    Today going to my friend's for dinner which will make it difficult to stay within calorie limit - the food is generally not healthy and lots of wine is normally involved.

    However, will set the following targets to keep the indulgence down:

    - I'll log the dinner, even if I am not exactly sure what's in it
    - I'll make sure I don't eat more main course than others - no second!
    - If dessert is one where we choose portion size, I'll have a small portion
    - I'll drink as much diet lemonade as I do wine to keep my appetite under control - and will limit wine to half a bottle MAX

    Hmm, so I managed two of these, I'd say - two of these, though probably wasn't really down to my efforts as opposed to my friends giving me a plate with a small portion size!

    Failed on the other two though - had an entire bottle of wine + double g&t, and failed to log any of the calories. It had been a very bad day so i don't feel too bad about it, however I have to make sure this doesn't happen too often - bad days will happen and I need to learn to deal with them without turning to alcohol/food.

    Today's commitment is very simple: come in within calorie goal!

    Met my goal, came in with zero calories left! I was very hungry though - made me realise that I need to optimise the foods I eat to be fuller - had eaten quite calorie dense but non-filling foods.

    I'm now staying with my boyfriend in Madrid for the weekend so control will be hard - we'll be eating out a bit and don't have a scale in the flat for weighing ingredients. Nonetheless, I'll:

    - Log all the foods I eat, even if I'm not sure I'm being accurate - better to put something than not bother at all
    - not snack outside meals
    - at meals, go for 'healthy options' - or if i want to go for 'non-healthy options' have small portions
    - keep alcohol and milky coffees to a minimum - no more than one coffee per day and order wine by glass (with as much water drunk as wine)

    Will be hard as i like to eat on holiday... will see how i do!

    I met all these apart from the not snacking outside meals - we had a couple of pre-dinner drinks and in Madrid they always bring you snacks (crisps/olives) with them. I didn't have loads but did have more than I should have.

    Other than that I met them all though. I ended up going 500 cals over, though I'm not sure that's correct, I ate (maybe - not sure) 400g of bread and MFP has said that's nearly 1000 kcal?!

    That seems way too high, however just in case i will try to steer clear of the bread today and eat other things instead! Very hard to track when away, you just don't know how many calories you're eating....

    So yesterday was slightly better in some areas, slightly worse in others, therefore calories consumed were about the same (just under 500 over).

    I avoided bread, which really helped with the calorie intake! On the other hand, I drank more wine than the previous day and had a more fattening dinner - Spaniards put too much olive oil on everything!!

    I need to have a better day today otherwise it will too hard to make up for it before next week's weigh in. So today I will:

    - Not drink any wine - a G & slimline T might be acceptable if I'm doing ok with calories
    - log all my calories again
    - Not exceed my calories my more than 200
    - not eat any of the crisps they give you when you order drinks!

    Met all my commitments, yay! Only went over by 30 odd cals, so quite pleased with myself.

    Hadn't lost any weight when I weighed in this morning which disappointed me slightly, though that's a bit silly as I hadn't really stuck to my diet enough to do so. I guess I am no longer in the 'shed lots of water weight' phase and now actually have to try harder!

    Commitments for today:
    - stay within calorie limit
    - go to gym and don't eat back the exercise calories

    @slittlemeister Yes, I can relate to your post. I am staying off the scale, trying to separate my food decisions from the number on the scale that morning, as the two don't correlate. Someday I will weigh every morning, but now for now. Just trying to stay on plan and log. And I don't eat back my exercise calories either. :)
