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.
This.

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.
Pure will power, for the most part, I find. I find it tougher at work sometimes, with the stuff people bring in and offer to share (we had a bakery open nearby, and someone keeps buying a giant loaf of bread stuffed with ham and cheese. Seriously?!?!??!). But, I know what I want to do, and how I plan to get there, and that results are happening, so I stick to it. Again, most things are ok in moderation, so have a treat, just a smaller one, and not all the timebritnaii22 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

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!

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 difference 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

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