OK..I went off the deep end today. Someone placed homemade cookies on my desk. Of course, I had one and then...well I figured since I had that I might as well have the candy that was left in my box today..and then well someone brought in a huge box of candy (assorted..with some of my favorites) I ate so much I felt sick! I think I get frustrated when I stay on plan and don't lose but a pound! I 'll try to get back on track tomorrow!

Good for you..do what it takes to get the stress out of you life...You can whine..it's ok ...sometimes it brings healing....hope your back to your walking soon..sorry you had a accident....
Now, I 'll whine....I ate candy! What a nut! WHy did I do this to myself! I have to remove the temptations when I see them. I am going to have to give them away right away! Maybe one day I will learn!

cmarty: don't beat yourself up, last night I got up went to the kitchen and ate potato chips for no reason at all! So this morning I got back on track, we slip up or at least I do every now and then, but it's a new day tomorrow and you'll get back on plan!

So it happened today... Does not mean it will continue to happen. The support goes to everyone on the forum..... we all know you can get back on track and eat right! The one thing that should help is to remember that you felt icky after eating all that stuff... that's your body saying, I don't want it. It may help if there is a a next time.

On another note, I have lost another 2.5 lbs and am down a total of 43 lbs now

I LOVE LOVE my fitbit flex! OMG, It told me that last night I only slept for 7 hrs 17 min, 16 mins wake 3x, 33 mins of restless sleep 16 x WOW, it tracks calories in vs calories out!! I keep wanting to get up and move LOL!!! it's so great! And JenB72 was right it keeps you mindful of what you eat!!!

I go weigh in today, wish me luck!!! I'll let everyone know how it went!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

That's awesome! It really does want to make you get up and move around, doesn't it. I read somewhere that Fitbit Flex is as addictive as Facebook or Twitter...and they're right. I find myself checking it out more during the day than anything else. Right now, I have the slate colored band, however, on October 22, they start selling the pink band. I'm so ordering one as soon as I can.

I have the black one because I knew I would get more colors! I have a question though, I am doing the calories in calories out, it has it based on 1265 a day

I'm still following the green menu, and it always has me either under or on target with calories for the "very hard" weight loss plan.

OK..I guess I need a fitbit flex...all this talk is making me want one! I am going to check them out! I think I would have probably blown it up with the sweets I ate yesterday!

No weight lost for me today..Let's see LOL I wonder why..well like skelley said, it's another day tomorrow!
Sweets are the

I still check in here every week or so. Haven't posted because I don't want to discourage anyone with my struggles since reaching maintenance. Finally weighed myself this week and sad to say I have gained back 39 of the 60 pounds I lost on MRC. Now if I had just been off plan ever since reaching maintenance, that would be one thing. But I have fought it the whole way. Honest I have! Even started over with pre-conditioning and then Meta Boost in June and sticking with green menu perfectly all of July. Went off plan all of August and gained it all back. Fought it all through September - on and off with the healthy eating but exercising daily regardless of diet. Got back on track completely October first. So today is day 12 of being back in control.

I'm not doing MRC anymore, so maybe not appropriate to post here. Doing it the old fashioned way with diet and exercise. 1200 calories M-F, and 1500 on weekends. Strength training 3x week, cardio 4-5x week. I did MRC for so long the first time (six months straight - never cheating once) that the way of eating is pretty ingrained. So sticking to 1200 calories and getting in lots of protein is easy for me. Will weigh in again October 23rd and hope for a few pounds by then. See y'all!

Going 4 fit...glad your back on track...we have been wondering where everyone is...we can do this together!

Okay it's now been two days and I've been on target also, this is awesome!

cmarty that's right its a new day! We all stumble but we all help each other back up!!!

going4fit! I'm so glad you are back on here, doesn't matter if you aren't doing MRC, we still want to support you in whatever works for you! Please stay with us!

Going 4 fit..

You are welcome here at any time.. I am on maintenance and not doing MRC except for when I have put a couple of pounds on and then will do green menu till comes off. I do get weighed in at MRC every 2 weeks, as I need that to keep focused that I have to answer to the scale. I wish I was not that weak, but I am.

I don't do calories, but I do more protein, and really watch the carbs and any sweets as they do me in each time, and being a slow loser it is not worth it to me. Now, I know what puts weight on and have to stay away from it. Maintenance is a struggle, and I will be the first one to admit it. It is very difficult to stay on it, but the higher the protein for me seems to be the trick.

Do you keep a journal of your calories intake daily? I still journal what I eat.

You can do this, for sure. Just keep posting and let us all be there for you.

Glad to see you back..
