Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Yes...circuits
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
A trigger for me sometimes is seeing a favorite bad for me food and when I notice it I immediately tell myself that it will not work for me and I direct my attention to something else and then the craving passes. If I let myself dwell in the thought of it too long it can derail me.10 -

When I derail, I derail completely... I’m very all or nothing which is t good because then failure, excuses, procrastination and indifference becomes the norm and I look up two years later and twenty pounds heavier and jump back in .... no pass days all or nothing until the next big nothing, which is my biggest hurdle... I’m still trying to make it a lifestyle change I’m just horrid at any type of maintenance...9 -
July 8: yes x 3
didnt get home til after 9pm from work and hadn't done my 20 min if activity so I did some jacking jacks, squats, lunges and some other random exercises to make sure I didn't have to take a pass day.
My red flags is definitely work related stress so pretty much all the time. I will stress eat without even realizing how many calories I am eating. I have learned to only bring enough food/snacks for the day. I was bringing many options so I would have choices, then proceed to eat everything I brought. I now bring 1 morning snack, lunch and 1 afternoon snack. This seems to be helping.8 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 3 mile run outside this morning
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and slightly under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
@goldthistime -- Best of luck on your bike tour!
Like most here, my big red flags are stress eating mainly caused by work stress, and the lure of the weekend. I'm really trying to be better on the weekends, but I think like everyone that's always a work in progress. And luckily work stress has started to dissipate for me right now, so it's not too much of an issue right now. However, I know it can sneak up on me so I try to always have a game plan to combat it. It's hard, but I do what I can. And no matter what, I always get back up, dust myself off, and jump back on the wagon.

Red flags are not tracking in real time and therefore things add up and get away from me. Another is doing well for a while and then using that to justify a treat which then leads to another treat, and one more the next day..and one more.....6 -
Really inspiring to read everyone's red flags. I've gone from feeling kinda alone in the constant battle with my brain re food to feeling like it's a very normal, if not highly frustrating, thing. Thanks everyone for sharing8
