It seems I've been living the yoyo diet for a long time. Sorry team.

No apologies are ever necessary here. What can we do to help you cut that yo-yo string?
Start today as if nothing happened except realize what choices you can make differently in the future. Today is a new day. Fresh starts are always possible!

Sunday check -in
The ropes course opened this weekend, so this morning I went for the first time since November. It went much better than anticipated, all things considering. I'm waiting to see how the shoulder feels tomorrow, and I'm pretty tired, but really it was a great day!
We are on school vacation this week, so technically I have the week off. But realistically I've got so much work to catch up on, that I'll be working for at least several days.

Food - to close to call
Exercise - 2+hours at the ropes course

Any clue on how to break carb addiction?

I'm not sure how to actually break the addiction, but when I was losing weight the fastest, I had significantly reduced the worthless carbs. After a short time of doing without them, I found I just didn't crave them as much. And, if I did eat them, my body told me about it because I just didn't FEEL good. I think doing the No Junk Food Challenge for 7 days is a good way to begin. Then you might feel like extending it. You can still have LOTS of coffee thankfully! I don't do true low carb/keto because I love fruit and know that it is good for my body in reasonable quantities--I just can't make that mental leap. Hope others will share their insights about how to reduce carbs.

Hi there,

I started my weight loss journey by focusing on getting problem foods out of my environment. I had read a book called Willpower that talks about studies showing that willpower gets worn out. If you expose yourself to temptation, you eventually succumb.

I started by giving up sugar and flour, and things made with them. It took about a month to do, with a number of failures along the way. There was a physical aspect to that, and an even bigger mental aspect to it.

I cleaned out my pantry and eventually my freezer. I had to talk to my family, and get their buy-in on eating ice cream outside the house for a while, until it had quit being something that I eat. To get their buy-in, I explained that I really thought my health was at stake, that if I didn't make this change that I was going to slide into some serious health issues. I also quit eating out for a while, because I could not go to our favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant without eating more than worked for weight loss. We started eating more at home, and have stuck with that. We started choosing activities differently, dropping a couple of things that would have me go hang around foods it did not work to eat.

James Clear, who is all about habits, talks about reducing your exposure to the things that cue the problem behavior -- controlling your environment. Here's an article he has on Breaking a Bad Habit. For me, simply remembering the ice cream that was almost always in the freezer triggered a craving. I quit craving it after a while when it was no longer in the freezer.

I hope this helps a little!

Week 3 check in
Username:embersdream
Weigh in day : Monday
Week 1 : 205
Week 2: 201.2
Weeek 3: 199.8

Not so shabby
My goal is 172 and then see if I can do more.
I have found though my week has been a bit off.
Was birthday week and had a few days of total goody indulgence and a few cocktails and now feel a bit yuck. Although there’s a small scale victory my tummy is super bloated at the moment. So hoping to really focus this week. Try to get to the gym 3 times this week ( it’s school holidays and have my kids all week plus uni)

Way to go! Onederland!!!

@Wishusdonna - Looking forward to tomorrow (assuming you get batteries) to find out, but it sounds like you balanced out your over day pretty decently. Your steps were fabulous, for sure!

@Fitgirllife72 - Fabulous steps there!

Hey @embersdream - Another great week overall! It's good to figure out that some kinds of eating and drinking make you feel a bit yuck, yes? For me, there are some things, things I used to like, that I won't eat now because the yuck is not worth it.
And as @UTmom81 said - OhMyGosh - Onederland! 🎉🎉🎉 You are in the 1's -- how great! 🎉🎉🎉

@angielove88 - Boom! Another great week! 😄😄😄
