      So this weekend has not been good 🙈 We had a lovely date night out on Saturday night with great food and a bit too much booze. Yesterday also wasn't great with takeaway for dinner BUT I'm back on it this morning. Half a litre of water out of my 3 litre allocation down already and weighed out my cheerios for breakfast. Planning to get out walking with the baby this morning too.

      Hope everyone has had a good weekend and is starting this Monday strong and feeling motivated!

      @erikNJ, welcome home!! It sounds like you had a great vacation, and made some wise choices while you were there. What exactly is a raw bar?

      You seem to have a good plan in place for when "real life" hits you on Monday. Glad to hear you are ready to jump right back into it!!!

      A Raw bar is food only made from things that grow in the earth, so all vegetarian. Fruits, smoothies, salads. Even if they had a sandwich it was all vegetables

      Starting Weight: 183
      Week 1: 183
      Week 2: 185

      I'm so frustrated. I hope this is just due to bloating. I really felt like I did better this week at keeping track of calories and exercising than when I first started and was seeing more weight come off.

      exercise: yes, 45 mins on the treadmill

      Back on track. Went light work at the gym but still got there. My wife decided she wanted to jump right into intermittent fasting instead of adjusting the first week so I figured might as well myself.

      Will you let me know how the intermittent fasting goes for you and the wifey?

      I love intermittent fasting! I eat from noon-8pm. It's so much better for me since I can have a normal lunch and a huge dinner. I feel fuller longer and don't feel the need to binge. Good luck! I hope it goes well for you!

      you'd think so right!!! well my PT has slightly upped by cardio but not much and upped my weights and calorie intake instead! I'm slightly baffled at the moment tbh, always been of the mentality of ' eat less, move more' but I guess I should listen to the experts in this case and see where it takes me

      @Tracie_Lord, well, I guess it does make sense in that having more muscle mass burns more calories by default. And you'll look great, too!!

      @kidkees, I would agree with your statement, as you are only up point four, so all the walking definitely helped!! Get back to your routine this week, and that little up will be a thing of the past!!

      @brandi_84, you did have a good last week, as you exercised and ate at a deficit for five of seven days. So, bloating, or any other normal reason for weight fluctuation seems reasonable. Don't despair...just keep pushing forward and good things will happen!!

      It's official!!! This team challenge has improved my weight loss journey exponentially!! I've been logging on MFP for 60 days straight now and I have pretty much been holding true to the keto-friendly way of eating. I was so ecstatic this morning to see that MFP just sent my weekly digest and the first and second week of March have been my best up to this point!! I feel great and I'm shrinking which I havent really done my entire adult life. Most importantly I've finally killed my Doubt-me Demons. I so appreciate each and every one of you

      @Kwinnero, Congratulations on having two great weeks, and very happy that we were able to help with that in any way!! But remember, even though you may have been motivated or inspired by this group, it was YOU who put in all the hard work!!

      What is an MFP weekly digest? Do you have the Premium version?

      Weigh in day. 175.3. Heading in the right direction, slowly again. Back exercising after a little hiatus. Not logging again yet but making good choices and eating (mostly) just what I’ve prepped.

      Lousy, awful, bad, bad day at work at the start of my on call week today - just want to tough it out do my best this week.

      @lozenger1984, hugs to you for your awful start to your on-call week! You seem to have the right mindset, though....tough it out and do the best you can!! Yes, you are heading in the right direction again; it's amazing what a little exercise and some good food choices will do, right?
