    I haven’t been tracking and ate far too many sweets this weekend. I need to get back on track and stop letting work stress get to me.

    Hi All,
    I'm back from my 3 week European vacation - 6 countries in 3 weeks. The trip was fantastic and the food was phenomenal! It's now back to reality and time to reel it back in - get a handle on what I'm putting in my mouth. I missed my Friday weigh in for the first week (8/3) but I want to post my weight anyway just to be accountable.

    I left town at roughly 173 lbs and came back at 177 lbs. Not good. In checking the weigh charts for our team, the August chart shows me starting at 219. That's incorrect. Hopefully, that can fixed.

    Glad to see all the new members joining the challenge. We can all support one another.

    Sorry this is late. Just got home from vacation and didn't have a way to check my weight. Yes, I'm up 2 pounds but after eating out for every meal I'm thrilled it's not worse.🙄

    Hello everyone.

    I have decided to move my weigh-ins day to Tuesdays instead of Mondays. I'm hoping I can shake something up and the scale will move down instead of up. Plus I'm out of town on long weekends so Mondays is not really ideal anymore.

    Weigh in day: Tuesday (August 7/18)
    Last weigh in weight: 166
    Today's weight: 167

    I will be away and will not be weighing in next week. Have a great week everyone.

    Weigh in tomorrow and I’m worried. My son has had appt at the children’s hospital the past couple of days and I always stress eat when we’re up here dealing with this stuff. We head home tonight and I’ll get back on track, but my stress definitely took over and a salad wasn’t gonna cut it for dinner 😅

    @ ToadstoolBetty, thanks for your suggestion. Summer is usually a very bad time for dieting. I am definitely not doing well as I had expected but I am not giving up

    Week 4 (August 21):
    Week 5? (August 28):

    So sorry everyone I missed last week. I gained somewhat though since then. I ate cake yesterday for my coworker's bday which threw me off. But I'm working hard!

    I need some advice. At my gym they're going to have a program called ForeverFit that is a 20 session, 10 week fitness program that not only has workouts, but also helps you form good nutrition habits and break your old habits and learn how to avoid injury when working out and it seems to have a lot of benefits. The problem is it costs $539 for the whole program. I was really interested in it because I feel like it would benefit me, but I'm in college and probably shouldn't spend that money right now. I was considering it heavily because the gym I go to is owned by my school and I get to go for free, so I thought I could take advantage of it while I still don't have to pay for the facilities. I'm conflicted. My mom thinks it would help me but that I could probably do all of that on my own, and that I shouldn't spend all of that money on it. I think she's probably right but that it's also a worthwhile investment on myself to hopefully inspire real change. So I'm really stuck here...if anyone has advice please help :pensive::relieved:

    @lar25473 I agree with your mom. That is a LOT of money to spend on a program. Everything you need can be learned here on MFP for free. I started knowing nothing and lots of great members helped me out and when you learn for yourself I feel like that's more long lasting than a program someone spoon feeds you. Just my .02$

    @lar25473 That is a steep price! Have you joined a gym before, do you think you will regularly attend now?Have you shopped around? Are there similar services you could try for cheaper?
    If follow through isnt your issue and you think this is going to catapult your weight loss , then go for it!
    Im personally guilty of joining gyms and then never showing back up.I've spent money on everything from gyms to nutrisystem, and alli . I was most successful when i finally got my head into the game. I started walking and doing exercise videos at home, eating low carb and Finally i started seeing the results i was looking for.
    Its all about finding what works for you. Good luck what ever you decide!

    @shea2986 This is my regular gym that I've been going to for a year now, so follow through isn't too much of a problem. My weight loss problem is that I don't eat right and don't know how to eat right and that's partially why I'm considering this, because I want my trainer to teach me how to eat better...but my mom is right too when she says I can do that myself...so I'm so conflicted :lol:

    Weigh in day: Wednesday
    Starting Weight: 182
    Week 1 (August 1): forgot to post
    Week 2 (August 8): 180
    Week 3 (August 15):
    Week 4 (August 22):
    Week 5 (August 29):

    Vacation weight officially off. Would love to see 175 by the end of the month. School starts next week so my workout routine will be off track for a bit until we settle into the new schedule (school, two different sports, etc.) so I have to be conscious of food choices. I seem to eat better and stay on plan when I work out.

    $500.00 can go a very long way for a college student.There is a lot of downloadable nutritional info available.Remember mama is always right!Save your money!

    @lar25473 search the internet instead. Look for healthy snack and recipes on Pinterest and use that money to buy the healthy food.
    Add more vegetables to your meals and fruit. There's endless sites out there to help you.
