My schedule is very tight during the week so I usually cook on the weekend for the whole week. Then I can pull stuff out of the fridge and reheat as needed during the week. My target is about 60 carbs per meal to give you an idea what I'm aiming at. I change it day-to-day but have the same basic layout: salad with low…

Cardio. Lifting and crunches won't do it.

Urges happen. As many have said, just get back on plan. I wouldn't bother fasting. I know Thanksgiving (US) and Christmas are going to be a couple tough days. But, I'll enjoy a couple days without guilt and move on because they will only be a couple days. Just consider it a night out. The question to ask yourself, however,…

What is your target? And what are you eating for breakfast that takes you over? That info could help.

First: Your weight loss ticker shows you 1/3 toward your goal. That's great! Congratulations! I weigh myself every day, at the same time and with the same scale on the same floor.

Other distractions include meeting with friends and family (other than your everyday immediate family) who are not following some sort of plan. At least,…

Exactly. All of these numbers are relative. I weigh myself at home in the morning before the shower. Same time of the day, every day. And my Aria scale automatically logs that weigh-in. >>> "Pick a consistent method and stick with it." <<< I also weigh myself at the gym after changing into the workout clothes, before…

I have a desk job, mostly using a computer (like now), and I can sit for hours without any significant movement when I'm concentrating on something. I have to remind myself to stand and stretch periodically, walk to the office kitchen, step outside for a few minutes, etc. Lunchtime is a good break and when the weather is…

Thanks for all the replies! Oddly, calories are not my problem. Sodium & carbs are my limits. And making sure I get enough potassium, fiber and protein while staying within my limits. In fact, I haven't hit my calorie limit yet. Not even close. My dietitian says "don't worry about calories for now, focus on getting…
