Added a 45 minute outdoors walks a couple nights after work and it seems to have helped.

Back from my weekend away and despite a few "treats" that I planned for I still lost a lb. Just shows you can work anything into your plan from time to time...even mini donuts 9 lbs down, 7 lbs to go! Have a great week everyone!

@flabtofab802015 I hear you, spend 3 weeks losing 3lbs and then can gain 3lbs in a weekend! It's frustrating. I think the most important thing is to keep tracking when your motivation is low because seeing what you're eating on a daily basis will almost always keep you somewhat in check. Maybe you'll still have a 6,000 calorie day for a special event but you're less likely to have 3 in a row....and maybe it will eventually trigger your motivation to kick back in again to workout earn some extra calories back by working out so that 6,000 calorie day doesn't even cost you over the course of your week or your month. Just get to a place where you can be comfortable calorie wise, maybe adjust to only losing one pound a week so you get a few more calories a day and aren't feeling as deprived...then look at how many you will get once you get to your goal weight and switch to maintenance...it's a lot more...plus consider how many you get from workouts...just decide this is a lifestyle change and no foods are forbidden, everything just needs to be worked in! You can do it!

Not a good week for exercising and it shows. Hoping for a better week next week.

Take the loss and run You've had some big loss weeks, but as you get closer to your goal (and you are!!! Yay!) I think you'll find 1lb loss weeks will be more the norm than the outlier...take them in stride! Last 10lbs is the hardest and you're almost there!!!
