My eating. I am working out like a crazed woman, but not eating healthy foods and lower calories.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
1. When I am tempted to eat junk food or unhealthy food take a few minutes, close my eyes, and focus on my goal weight, and 3 reasons why I want to be at my goal weight: 1. more energy to care for my children 2. Lower my health risks for heart, cancer, etc. 3. Have a more attractive appearance.
Will you commit to these steps that you outlined above to yourself and this board?!
Yes. I will. I do.
Let's come back next week with a great big loss!
Good Luck Summer Count Downers!!

Pounds lost Week 4: +.25 pounds
Starting Weight: 146.0 pounds
Pounds lost since challenge: 2.25 pounds
What has been your biggest frustration in these 4 weeks?
Sticking to an eating schedule. I work such odd hours and eat randomly, so it's hard to stick to a healthy diet. I also just got back from a 4-day cruise, and althought I tried my best, I know I ate way more than I should have. Not as much as I would have a year ago, but still not healthy.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
Keep healthy snacks around at all times.

What has been your biggest frustration in these 4 weeks?
Weight fluctuations.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
Can't think of any. I'm not quitting over them though, so it's not really a problem, just frustrating to watch.
Will you commit to these steps that you outlined above to yourself and this board?!
I'm pretty committed. I was on the road for seven days, including a day spent in vegas, and I only cheated twice (both times on purpose). I had a notebook and a fast food calorie book that helped me log meals. I guessed a lot though, but still came under maintainance.

My eating. I just haven't been eating all the right things like should be. I also need to watch my sodium intake

Pounds lost Week 4: -1.4 pounds
Starting Weight: 177.0 pounds
Pounds lost since challenge: 4.6 pounds
What has been your biggest frustration in these 4 weeks?
At first it was just sticking to the diet. I've been getting creative with my food, and got a low calorie cookbook I pick 3 recipes from each week to try, just so I'm not eating the same things each week.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
I joined a gym and got a personal trainer (sort of!) which has helped a lot! I've also started taking TV dinners to work for lunch, so I'm saving some money AND eating fewer calories
Will you commit to these steps that you outlined above to yourself and this board?!
Of course!

Pounds lost since challenge: 8 lbs.
What has been your biggest frustration in these 4 weeks?
My Period!!! I am just zapped for energy, making excercising next to impossible, craving everything unhealthy, and gaining weight, even though I'm sticking within my calorie limit! Another frustration is trying to lower my fats, and up my protein, but I've been unsuccesful so far, and I'm so picky, I'm having a real hard time with this.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
Ignore the weigh in when I have my period. I've heard the nightmares about people gaining up to 10 pounds of water weight. Just one pound was SOOOO frustruating, and discouraging. I need to remember to stick with my calorie limit, and ignore the numbers that week!
Will you commit to these steps that you outlined above to yourself and this board?!
Good golly, I'll try! I hope I can! Only 5 weeks left till summer, 6 weeks till vacation in Florida. That doesn't seem that far away any more! Keep up the great work everyone!!!!

Pounds lost since challenge: 5.8 pounds
What has been your biggest frustration in these 4 weeks?
Weekends!! (and therefore weighing in on Mondays). I do so well during the week, and the weekend I always ?let go a bit,? as I?m hanging out with friends, family, and don?t want to be ?on a diet.? The calories don?t increase that much, but the food is usually less nutritional and high in sodium.
What behavioral modifications will help you conquer this frustration and turn it into a success?
Logging my calories faithfully on the weekend as well as during the week. Exercising a little longer on the weekends to make up for indiscretions. Drinking enough water on the weekends.
Will you commit to these steps that you outlined above to yourself and this board?!
Yes?it keeps me motivated.
