I’ve been losing and gaining the same 2 lbs for weeks it seems. I’m happy to be under 190. I’ve been kind of whiny at my slow progress so a few days ago I sat and really went over my food diary. I’ve adjusted my calories and macros for my current weight and activity level. I feel positive about my tweaks.
Lol of course this is a month of holiday parties and decadent food events. I really just want to keep up with my workouts and stay in the 180’s. I’m feeling pretty optimistic!

Fluctuation always happens because of muscle building. Stay on track and you will notice a change.

Haven't been great at tracking this week, I've been hungry, I need to re-focus. My doctor has been a great partner in my journey, and due to some unforseen circumstances I'm going to change my goal to maintain my weight at 186lbs this month.

Let's navigate this weekend successfully!4
-
@tiabirdie56 - Yes, let's do that!
What challenges are you guys facing this weekend? And what's your plan?
My challenges: I have a camping expedition tomorrow that is the big challenge.
How I plan to cope: I will be doing advance planning and meal prep *today* to make sure I have food options that work (good choices, measured portions). I'll pack all that in a small cooler. I have a few easily portable protein bars (only 1g sugar per 150 cals) as a backup, but I plan to have actual food with me for the campout.3 -
@AustinRuadhain
The weekends are so hard for me. My biggest obstacle is that my kids and husband are always so busy. We end up doing a lot of snacking or grabbing food to get by on Saturday. Then on Sunday we always do a big breakfast because everybody is home. My husband and I usually watch football all day and we can't watch a game without having a couple of beers.
I have decided to let myself have Sundays and enjoy my time with the family, but Saturday I try really hard to stay on track. If that means getting a salad instead of a burger then that's what I do. I also try really hard not to have any alcohol on Saturday. Sometimes I don't accomplish this goal.3 -
@AustinRuadhain, I will say, in general I don't have a problem on weekends, but for the last month, I have been visiting my son and his family on Sundays. All they do is snack all day, the children too. I can't stand to watch it! I cook food and take it with me so we have something to eat if I have the time. If not, I end up eating a lot of carbs and fast food. They do not cook on Sundays. The price I pay to visit with my grand children. Smh. Maybe I just need to cook at his house on Sundays.5

Ooops. I have missed the month of October and November, things have been hectic at work. Thankfully, I maintained my weight during these two months.
And I am super glad that my fiance and I have joined a gym. I know that this is just the start but we have committed to going 3x a week. So far, so good and we are on Week 3 of a lifetime.
Lastly, we are doing are best with eating a little less of everything. It's hard but I'm blessed to have the support of my amazing fiance.
