    Had a lot of people visiting us last week and taking us out for meals. I'm back onto it this week though and would like to lose 3 lbs this next week - the 2 lbs I've gained and another one!

    Good luck everyone x

    Tomorrow is a new day. One day cannot undo the great results you have been working for. Drink plenty of water and give your body a day or two to rebound. I having pie tonight :)

    Thanks and you're right. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I like how I feel when I'm not stuffed on junk. The only disappoint I have is I could have stopped sooner. Too many cookies.
    I haven't had a day like this in quite awhile and now that I've had it I'm glad I won't be having another like this anytime soon. Back on track tomorrow and with some luck I'll still be down in weight come weigh in Thursday.

    Sounds like you've got the right mindset to succeed, @grebber1, and I'm glad you're continuing on this month. Regardless of whether today throws a wrench in your Thursday weigh-in, getting back on track means you'll get that loss sooner or later!

    We'll all keep chugging along....

    Exercise: Yes
    Calories: No
    Tracked: Yes

    Son's birthday, and a long planned-for ice cream cake that he wanted to further decorate with every sugary creation known to humankind (he's 6). I ate well in the morning, exercised beforehand, had a moderate lunch with family (hamburger, no bun) and thoroughly enjoyed the cake and the company. Dinner this evening was more than I had intended, but I find that I usually eat less automatically the day after going over calories. Guess I'll be testing that tomorrow!

    How many of you will be with me tomorrow, getting back on track after a little much today?

    I don’t know about anyone else but I’m finding tracking really hard to do and to be motivated to do it

    @hayleymace90 I used to feel the same way. My mindset change was triggered by personal/family health news -- I realized I had to improve my health, fast. I wouldn't recommend the same method to anyone else, but it has been effective. :neutral:

    Do you have a couple of meals that you eat regularly? Same breakfast, same range of lunches, etc? Maybe you can start by adding those into MFP as meals, so that a couple times a day all you have to do is select the meal to track, rather than select the separate items.

    Eagerly awaiting your news, @littleflutterby ! And no matter, if you've exercised, tracked, and are under calories, you will see the changes you're looking for eventually. Keep it up!
