Can I jump in, please! I just saw this! It's my first challenge here on MFP! I have my Fitbit! Today 10/13: I have 8130 steps Thank you!!

Daily log: walked 35 mins and logged all food. Gave in to eating 18 crackers. But, at least I counted the crackers and logged it! Made sure I went for a walk afterwards, because I felt guilty!

Great suggestions!!!! Thanks!! Don't feel quite as worried now about Saturdays!!! Thanks!!!

So, yesterday's walk: 2 different times for a total of 32 mins. Not bad! Already did a short walk today, too! And have logged my breakfast.

My difficult days are Saturdays. Football games, lots of food, bevs, people, and mindless munching. Yeah, looking back and hearing it coming from others- does sound very self sabotaging! Ugh!!!

I've done: clothes, makeup, put $ in a jar to buy a big item at the end of the month, buy a sing or two in itunes-especially if it helps with a.good workout, bought myself flowers.

Thank.you so much everyone for your thoughts, suggestions, feedback, and support!! Always in need of a little direction!! I've done the Weight Watchers, successfully before- late 30's-early 40's. Life happened, couldn't afford to do meetings or pay for a private trainer 2xs a week at the gym anymore. Life changes took over…

So, daily update: actually did really good today! Did 30 mins of moderate walking outside, beautiful day out!! Trying to make better conscious decision of food. Did great all day! Today was one of my ling days at work, so asked hubby if he could make dinner, or I could pick something up. He said he would make it. Pasta…

The hard part is that some days by the time I get home, I start making dinner right away, then by the time I'm eating it's already 6-7pm! That's when I just so exhausted! Then I'm in bed by 9:45-10pm, just to be up around 6;30am again!

I totally get it ScottinTX!!

So, maybe this discussion board is the accountability part that I was missing! It's helpful having others checking on me. Especially since I really don't have anyone like that in real life! Ugh! Husband is skinny and can eat whatever he wants without gaining an ounce!! I look at. pizza and gain 5 lbs!!! So anyways, day 3…

update: I logged in everything yesterday and so far today. Also just came back from a 16 minute brisk walk, in between seeing clients!

Thanks for all your help/suggestions Teacurls! I have been.on.thos journey for years. At one point: I was a weight watchers success. Met my goal, became a lifetime member, and kept it off for over 1yr. It was hard keeping it off as I struggled to find that adjustment to higher points and not gaining. Then, of course, life…

Day one of doing .5 lbs loss vs 1lb loss. Gonna try that. Hoping to have the same focus tomorrow!!

I appreciate all of the suggestions and support!! Hopefully I'm at least sick and tired enough that I'm.asking for help, suggestions, and support! I'm not ready to give up!! I can definitely be my own worst enemy!!!

Queen Liz, alot of it is just lack of.motivation, getting down on myself easily, and giving in to temptation!!! Ugh!!!
