Just get back on track! Don't punish yourself - life happens & honestly, it's not about perfection, just progress. Live & learn ;) You might also find that after that 5 days of being "off track" will actually help to push you out of your plateau once you get back at it. Good luck!

No need to beat yourself up over overindulging!! Just get back on track today & it'll be all good. Take it meal by meal :) No need to reduce calories drastically today or go overboard with exercise.. the weight gain is water retention & will work itself out. I'm a bloated mess from this weekend, but I am just going to…

You can do it!! We're about the same in height/weight... I got up that high too (not preggo) & got all the way down to about 147lbs (gained about 20lbs+ back over the past 2 years). It's doable, it just takes dedication & motivation. I almost have to remotivate myself EVERY DAY. But I know I can get back down to that…

I just added a bunch of you :) My photo is of myself & my hubby on the Misfit app.. Look forward to the added motivation!!!!!

I have a Misfit Shine! My username is laurabelle812.. feel free to add me too!!

One of the best one for me (besides 'buying a scale' & 'eat less/exercise more' that others have said already) is: Do what works for YOU. There are a ton of "plans" you can follow - clean eating, no carbs, IIFYM, gluten free, 21 day, calorie tracking, ect. But what it comes down to is doing what will work for you to drop…

I don't weigh out my non-starchy veggies any more - I've gotten a pretty good eye for my serving sizes. BUT, I do log them.. so while I might be off a few grams here & there since I'm not weighing, I do still account for them.

SO amazing!!!! Congrats on getting healthy & dropping all that weight!!

Compression pants work WONDERS!!! I'll notice my tush firming up after a few running sessions, but it always jiggles ;)

You look amazing!!! Great job!!!!

I've been doing RIPPED for over a year now & I *love* it!!! Burns a lot of calories & you don't have to be too coordinated to do it ;) Once I started the class, I had tons of people asking if I'd lost more weight - which I hadn't. I had just toned up a bunch!! You should check it out if there's a class in your area!

I just asked my RIPPED instructor & it looks like using the 'high impact aerobics' option in the MFP database is closest to what her bodybugg reads :)

Beautiful!!! Congratulations - your hard work has paid off!!!!

This is my all-time FAVORITE Sangria recipe!!! I use Captain Morgan rum & cut down the sugar a bit (otherwise it's pretty sweet!). I throw in whatever kind of fruit I'm feeling like (apples, strawberries, ect). Very tasty & it's always a hit! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/classic-spanish-sangria/detail.aspx
