Try having alternatives close-by. I use 10 calorie jelly, popcorn, 35g bags of chocolate, light cereal bars and meringues. I dip into these when I need something sweet. Allow yourself a late night snack, factor it in to mfp but put a calorie limit on it and stick to it. Try keeping yourself busy - read a magazine, knit/crotchet, manicure, have a bath. It's about finding a balance that works for you.

I agree with this completely. I love weighing in daily - the feedback keeps me working hard and on top of things. I have some slight fluctuations up and down day to day, even when I think I ate good, but I know that is normal and will even itself out.britnaii22 wrote: »I have such a hard time staying on track on the weekend, do you guys have any tips on how to stay on my game?1 -
You guys! I had the most delicious dinner and part of it was from my garden (just the lettuce lol) but a good start to the weekend

How's everyone doing this month? Anyone have some NSV's they'd like to share? Struggles?0

I'm focused. I have been walking more. Stuggle right now is the week it is and not giving into cravings. So far I've done pretty good.1

That's awesome! I'm making a mini goal for this week to do a minimum of 20 minutes of exercise every day - yesterday I went for a walk with my kiddo and hubby
Sometimes if I'm having a tough week I'll write down my goals and put them up in areas that I get tempted (fridge or snack cupboard) and that helps a lot! Just keep reminding yourself of why you're doing it, you've got this!1 -
Great idea!!1

I noticed my progress the most when I took my kids to Canada's Wonderland last week. I fit in the roller coasters so much better now. Turns out, that 30lbs has made a difference2

I just realized tonight that my shins don't hurt when walking long distances anymore. I can walk over 3 miles and keep on going!2

So excited to have made it through the weekend without gaining weight!! I usually put on 2+ pounds every weekend from eating junk, and then re-lose it during the following week. It's an endless battle. I'm so excited to see good results this week!1

I am down to my last belt loop! I've had this belt about 20 years, and it's been a looooooooooong time since I've used the final loop2

Awesome! I've got some clothes I've been able to fit into again recently, so I know the feeling. Great work.1
