Great! Welcome!! please go ahead and copy and paste what I have written above (start weight, weigh in dates etc.) And input your information. We will log our weigh ins each week (on Monday) and you can add any information as well that you think would be beneficial (successes/weaknesses for that week). This is a public forum.
Good luck!0 -

Not sure but I thinks it's a great idea! What time of day do you have the most trouble with? Mine is dinner prep and after dinner. Maybe we can check in to see how we are doing at that time?1 -
Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I had a hard evening. Had a few too many nuts. Will try and do better tonight.2

Successes/struggles: I have a huge sweet tooth and a partner who brings home lots of cookies! I need to put down the cookies and get moving more! I've gained ten pounds in the last three months because of poor choices. I know I can do this because I have done it before.2 -

Successes/struggles: My fiance is on his 4th week of training for a marathon and he has dropped 10-15lbs and despite working out with him I haven't budged on the scale... likely because he has to consume more calories due to burning so many and I have to decrease mine so eating meals together has been a challenge.4 -

Dinner prep and clean up is where I seem to lose control. I like your "BLTs" haha they are my downfall. Yes, feel free to message or check in and we will power through. No need to let late night snacking diminish our hard work!1 -
Omg- dinner I just eat way too much, even if it's healthy, because it's my time to relax! But also, then I want a snack! I've found these "Enlightened" fake ice cream bars that really help (ado sugar free fudgesickles), but it's really s struggle. Also, how do you guys keep your will power on the weekends? I just want to eat all the delish stuff my friends are eating! It's so hard to stay motivated.0

I am the same when it comes to weekends! So hard! I guess one step at a time.. if we can try extra hard during the week to eat healthy and exercise then we can still enjoy certain food on the weekend but in moderation. And you can still eat delish stuff but find healthier substitutions. We can help each other!1 -

Successes/struggles: Yesterday I ate more than I should and sat more than I should. It's been a busy couple of months and I kind of crashed yesterday since our summer commitments are winding down. Getting down to 123 will be a big deal for me. It will be the smallest I've been while being in shape since I've been married. My ultimate goal is 115.2 -

It's a very hard time for me! Yesterday I may have stumbled upon a trick I want to share!!! Have a cherry and then keep the pit in your mouth while prepping and putting stuff away! It seemed to help me last night! I will try it again tonight. If you try it let me know how it goes. I don't like to chew gum so that never worked for me! If you wind up slipping the pit to the other side of your mouth to eat something catch yourself and say "WTF am I doing????" And stop and slip that put back around 1
