    @sunshineplace I have the same challenge! I'm really good during the week, but the weekends are a train wreck and I think I eat more then than I do the entire week. Then I start the week despondent and frustrated with myself and even less likely to check in since I keep gaining weight. Am trying to get off this hamster wheel since its ineffective, but am not having much luck.

    Have you tried tracking calories over a week, rather than daily. I have days where I eat under, and days where I eat over, but if I know I have a day I will find difficult (e.g, baking day, rest day, or family meal out) I'll front load and have a greater deficit for a few days giving me some wriggle room on the bad days.

    Calories: right on target
    Exercise: not much. Only a short walk this morning and 7k steps
    Water: better but still not there yet
    Tomorrow: back to work (we’ve been closed due to terrible flooding), so do some stairs or run down to the elliptical for a few minutes. Lunch is already planned and packed.

    @broncobuddee and Dee.....I know there are so many more out there that have this problem. The challenge is figuring out how to manage it. This is a work in progress for me. If I remember back to the fall when I was doing very well with weight loss I was allowing myself weekend indulgences and not beating myself up about them but I feel like I was in better control. Lately not so much. I need to find the happy medium.

    @AustinRuadhain thank you very much for sharing. I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself. I have learned so much from your posts. I have book marked that article you posted about motivation by James Clear. I would like to explore more by him. That and the 13 hour fast that I have yet to discover more on. Keep posting!

    Thank you. Great idea. I am currently following Weight Watchers and I have extra points to use when I want them plus my activity points. Works well for me when I keep myself in check and don’t overspend my points. Plus I have changed my weigh in day one day earlier in the week so I can build up more activity points to spend on the weekend. Here’s hoping.

    Thank you for sharing your journey. I had to look up how many pounds were in a stone. Lol. I am so inspired by the changes you made in your life and I aspire to be half the “work out” Queen that you are! And now marathons!!!

    This sounds interesting!! I think I could cut back during the week to save a little extra for the weekend.

    Super happy to see the scale go down this week! Especially considering the birthday party that I went to on Saturday. :)

    Congrats! Do you think it was the intermittent fasting? I gave it a try but the scales didn’t move much. I didn’t find I was eating less just skipped breakfast.

    Thanks for the amazing posts today team! All of the great information shared is really motivating me as we close out another month. Looking forward to reading those articles on the train tomorrow.

    Tuesday Check In
    Calories: under
    Water: under but not horrible. It’s so cold here I don’t feel like drinking much
    Exercise: nothing formal but close to 10K steps. @broncobuddee I will post in the spreadsheet

    Goal for tomorrow:
    1. Treadmill workout at some point in the day.
    2. Going to try for a walk at lunch - going to be almost 0 degrees here tomorrow!!
    3. Stick to my meal plan - this has been a great success for me this week. Really kept me on target.
