How did everyones weekends go? Feeling motivated going into the new week?

I'm hosting 2 holiday parties at my house this weekend. I have a weakness for appetizers! Probably doesn't help that I tend to make apps I really love (looking at you crab dip). I'm really good at making a plan in advance (only one serving of this or a glass of water in between drinks) but terrible at the execution. Anyone else struggle with this but found good tips and tricks?

Hi everyone! Hope the first week has been good.

I've been keeping a food diary, tracking everything I eat as well as tracking all exercise. Weighing myself every morning is helpful for me because it shows tiny progress which helps motivate me more.

I've also cut out sodas completely and am slamming the water. Finally, when possible, hitting the sheets even just 20-30 earlier helps keep snacking urges down.

What's working so far for you?

I made it through my week of in person work meetings which are always filled with food, candy, lots of snacks and a big open bar dinner. While I wasn't perfect and definitely indulged I did make some better choices, ate less than I usually do at these things, and did my best to move as much as could. I haven't stepped on a scale yet, but going into the weekend with these small wins. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi there. I'm back at it. After winning several diet bets, I fell off the wagon. BIG TIME. We got a new puppy who completely turned our lives upside down. My son had some health issues for a few years - he's better now. I started a new job which, while I love it, was VERY stressful. Add in regular life things and my balance and routine just went out the window.

In it's place: poor food choices, much more sitting at a desk and yummy cocktails after work.

Time to get back to this hard. I'm going to lean on you all as a helping community, if that's alright. My wife is also on board. I've done this before and damnit, I'm gonna do it again!

Let's gooooooo!

One week to go! How's everyone doing?

I chose this game because we had 2 vacations during this 8 week period. I was way more conscious about my food and drink decisions while away. I still ate healthy, and took lots of walks throughout the resort and on the beach, so I could enjoy a few treats there. Success!

In the midst of kitchen repairs, and travel so have been eating conveniently over quality for three weeks. But by the end of this week I think we might be back in our kitchen! All I can think about is making a nice dinner with a huge salad with fresh veggies 😂 never been so excited about that!

The pot is now $945

Didn't hit round 2, but I did manage to weigh in while on vacation. I'll have to take it as a motivator for round 3. Hope everyone else is crushing it!
