When I saw this loss I was in shock. Like my whole week of trying was worth it!!
Wow @rawrxamberx amazing loss this week!!!1 -
Does anyone else struggle with the weekends?! We had off on Monday, so it was a long weekend, which made it worse! I didn't in January, but this month I am really struggling. What do you all do to stay motivated and track on the weekends?0

Feeling more focused today. Turned down food at work-we had a "baked potato bar". I ate my applesauce and headed over to the store to pick up butternut squash soup for dinner... yum!
@brandi_84 I just realised that my post yesterday was for 2/18 not 17!1 -

Weekends are always tough. Especially when there are sweets and snacks around. I am still trying to figure out how to stay on track during the weekend.0 -

@cmhubbard92 I would have had difficulty turning down the baked potato bar. Great job for stayinyg strong and making better choices for yourself.0 -
I have decided I am going to have to be strict on myself and not allow myself foods or soda after dinner. I have done really great at making good, healthy foods and staying on track until after dinner. I will decide a couple of chips will be ok or one more soda wont hurt anything. I usually have some calories to spend but it gets hard to keep from going over once I begin snacking.
I actually had lost weight that I never got to post on my weigh in day because as soon as the numbers started to go down I would let myself slide. I do this everytime.
There is only one birthday to celebrate between now and the 4th of July. I have no excuses.1 -

This is honestly me! Except I don’t really snack at night. When I do snack, it’s hard for me to stop myself. That’s why lately I try not to really snack unless I have to. Cuz snacking is a trigger for me to overeat. I won’t buy chips for that exact reason. I also do letting myself slide after some losses, but I am stopping that as well. Cuz I’ve realized that a cheat day turns into a cheat week and it’s a cycle that keeps repeating.
I’m trying to take it one day at a time and that seems to be working. You got this girl!1 -

I ultimately decided I am not happy with my most recent progress. I feel like I am doing the right things, but I am really going to be stricter on myself. I adjusted my goal for loss and my activity level, so hopefully I find a calorie goal that starts pushing me in the right direction... now that I have been settling in ONEderland, I want to get the hell out of the 190s, and see low 180s soon! I am sorry I haven't been super supportive recently, but between having back pain and being down on myself, I just have been trying to see what will work best for me! I will get better, I promise!
@cmhubbard92 I hope this will work for you and that you're back pain doesn't get worse and hopefully goes away completely.0 -

@rawrxamberx Thank you for your encouragement. Cheat days do turn into cheat weeks. I need to keep reminding myself that when I want to indulge in a cheat day.0 -

@brandi_84 I know the feeling! I had to give up soda in general because I realised the calories weren't worth it for me. I hope you can find the balance that works best for you! 0 -

My back is feeling a little weak from using the rowing machine this week (I think) It is a bit sore when reaching or bending.....so no workout tonight. Hopefully tomorrow I will be all mended up. Still under calories at this point, but tonight feels like a bit of a struggle.2
