How To Get Back On Track?

[jillw8 22]

He last couple of weeks I have grazed and craved sugar. I have ate candy and not lost weight. I'm trying to get back on track but It has been hard. I am almost 8 months out and down 86lbs. Any suggestions for getting back on real quickly?

Do you use My Fitness Pal? It's an awesome way to track your food, Water and exercise. The list of foods to choose from is SO comprehensive -I love it. You're down 86 pounds and probably a whole lot more knowledgeable than me, but I read a lot of posts with the reminder of Protein first, then veggies then starches.

Good luck to you!!

I do use it but did get away from it the last couple of weeks. I am going to start tracking again and focusing on my Protein again. Thanks for the reminder!

I'd toss the candy, plan some healthy meals for the week - I like to browse the FoodNetwork website for ideas - and make a grocery list. That way, I've got healthy meals planned and available.

Jill - when were you sleeved? I was sleeved 8/2011 and I'm down 90 pounds. I WAS down 93 pounds but I've gained 3 pounds back. I've been eating hard candy, ice cream and popcorn. I feel ridiculous and know I need to get back on track. Sounds like we're in the same boat. If you want a buddy, friend me on MFP. I'm Prinxessdeb. We'll get back on track together. We can do this!!

Wow, we are pretty much the same person! I was sleeve 8/30/2011 and have done well until last couple of weeks. I don't know what it is. Probably the fact that I can eat more comfortably and those "slider" foods are easier to eat then a steak or chicken. We definitely to support each other! I will add you now!

Is it close to the time of the month for you? That's when I crave carbs. I've learned to be prepared for that with some dark chocolate and Zumba or yoga! Yep, exercise cuts the carb cravings for me. It makes me hungry but for Protein. And yoga definitely helps with the cramps. Maybe start charting the days you crave and see if there is a correlation. And be sure and take your Vitamins religiously.
