Last week was just terrible for me. I am up 2 lbs & rightly so. I ate whatever I wanted & then made myself sick with guilt. I have a few pointers of how to bust through my plateau, so I'm ready to get at this. I hope you will join me this week!
My plan: 1300-1700 calories (calorie cycling), 92oz of water, 30DS & 60 mins cardio
Monday: 1490 calories, 92oz of water, no exercise today
Tuesday: 1240 calories, 72oz of water, 30DS Level 2 Day 1 & 60 mins cardio
Wednesday: 1640 calories, 80oz of water, 30 mins cardio - got really sick so I took it easy
Thursday: 1453 calories, 92oz of water, 30DS Level 2 Day 2 & 60 mins cardio
Friday: 2600 calories (YIKES!!), no water, no exercise

I am with you!! I had a rough one last week too and I am up 2lbs as well!!
My goals: 1500-1700 calories, 80 oz water and any kind of movement will be good with me!!!
Monday:1618, 85 oz water and cleaning for 1 hour.
Tuesday: 1744 cals, 90 oz water and Skiing for 1.5 hours
Wednesday: Too many cals, 65 oz water and no workout!
Thursday: 1703 cals, 60 oz water and 30 mins shoveling.
Friday:
I'll do it. I'm not doing any videos tonight though because it seems after running all day at work my legs need another night to recover. Tomorrow I'll push through no matter what they feel like, I can sit and wait forever.
I'll go for about 1400-1500 cals (Higher than norm to see if I can't get things moving this way)
At least 64 oz of water
20g of fiber
30 min of exercise Tues-Fri at the least!
I was only up like 1.5 pounds at the most all weekend but I am still irritated! I need to be at least 169 by Feb 12th.
I did really well last week, so hope to do a repeat!
Chance Don't beat yourself up! It's hard to stay OP when you're not seeing results. You will bust through this plateau and get back on track!
Monday: 21 WW pts. (Got through the WW week staying within my points. Yay!)
Tuesday: 21 WW pts.
Wednesday: 21 WW pts.
Thursday: 37 WW pts. (used 16 of my weekly because I gat a stomach ache and had to coat it with bread...seriously! Kinda sucks because I wasn't even hungry. )
Friday: 25 WW pts. (used 4 of my weekly points--have 15 left to use tomorrow!)
Had a successful week!

Goal: 1500 - 1600 calories, 80 oz. of water, at least 3 gym days
Monday: 1466 calories, 80 oz. of water, gym day 1 (45 minutes on the elliptical) Tuesday: 1489 calories, 80 oz. of water, 30 minutes of Cardioke Wednesday: 1377 calories, 80 oz. of water, 35 minutes on the bike and tons of heavy moving as I rearranged my room Thursday: 1520 calories, 88 oz. of water, gym day 2 (45 minutes on the elliptical) Friday: 1365 calories, 80 oz. of water, no workout
I want to workout at least twice, and I need to stay under 35 flex points (I am at like 20 already!)
Monday: I did okay...I ate two flex points, but I didn't have any food! so I had to eat them....and I also didn't workout. Overall though, pretty much OP. Tuesday: Great OP day! I ate the exact right amount of food and I even walked to the grocery store instead of easily taking the bus... Wednesday: OP completely! and I'm sick Thursday: OP with food completely! I even got 4 servings of fruits and veggies in. No exercise because I'm sick! Friday: OP! although I did get drunk! the first time I have made 5 days OP in a while! And the scale showed it with a loss of 1 pound for the week!
I SUCK at these! I have only successfully completed one.. I usually have one bad day (at least) during the week.
My goals for M-F are to get up in the a.m. 2-3 times this week and work out (in addition to my ballroom dance class thur night)
M: OP but no exercise
T: treadmill, OP
W: awful!
Th: OP, no exercise
F: tae bo, OP
4/5 days
Ugh. I had the worst week last week. The worst!! It kind of made me feel better that I wasn't the only one though when I read the thread!! Ok I am going to try a lot harder this week. I bought 'Eat, Shrink & Be Merry' on the weekend and planned a bunch of meals around that which should keep me on track. Plus I think I may attempt morning workouts to see if they stick better.
Ok my plan: At least 3 Am workouts. 1600 calories. Replace late night munchies with tea!!
Monday: Just ok, stayed relatively within my calories, no workout
Tuesday: Did actually really good today! 1300 calories, 20 mins elliptical, 10 mins stationary bike....and some cleaning, every little bit helps!
Wednesday: Really not OP! I got last minute tix to the hockey game which meant we were eating at the stadium and obvs. no healthy choices exist there. Oh today is a new day!
Thursday: 1500 calories, everything was pretty OP! No exercise.
Friday:

I made chicken and brown rice too! haha. I was lazy. I bought 8 piece baked chicken at the store and some already made fresh veggie kabobs. Warmed the chicken in the oven with some wheat rolls and made some brown rice. it was WONDERFUL!
So....how did every do? I finally did well today. I needed one day that I could do it & prove it to myself. I'm having my final snack (100-calorie popcorn) & I have some more water to drink, but then I'll be right at 1500 calories.
