Question

How is everyone staying in track while at home? I start out the day in track and then slowly downward spiral.  

Answer 1

I start my day with a 5 mile walk. If I don’t do that, I eat alllllll the things all day long. When I exercise first thing, I don’t want to sabotage my efforts. It’s a psychological thing for me, so it works. I’m down 6 lbs since we’ve been quarantined.  

Answer 2

That's been my routine for the last 10 days or so, until yesterday. I'm really proud that I actually ate under my points yesterday and had a rollover!

@woodwork2124 Good for you!  

---

Honestly, it was one of the most difficult days since I've started. It's been really hard battling stay-at-home munchies!  

Answer 3

First two week were good and now I’m getting a bit off track.  

Answer 4

These are certainly crazy times. Sometimes it feels like the world is conspiring against me. Yesterday about an hour before my usual walk about 4 Police SUVs, 4 pick up trucks, a tow truck and at 10-15 ATF officers swarmed in and blocked my apartment for about 7 or 8 hours. Thankfully it all cleared up by the time I woke up this morning.  

Answer 5

I'm not. I'm putting weight back on.

@workbench353 me too

Answer 6

Not good

Answer 7

I am doing okay. Staying on plan, walking, going to virtual meetings is helping to keep me calm, to feel like SOMETHING is in my control! I am not losing a great deal but I lost 1. 5lbs in the two weeks since virtual meetings started and I am just fine with that considering the current situation!  

Answer 8

I have to keep reminding myself how hard it was to get back on track after Christmas  I’m not going through that again

Answer 9

I'm better at home. I had stopped looking weight, but now I am back down. Lowest I have been in over a year.  

Answer 10

Save your points for the evening. Works for me.  

Answer 11

Definitely a downward spiral

Answer 12

I am staying focused on eating healthy I am tired of losing the same ten pounds over and over again.  

Answer 13

Same. I start out with good intentions and spiral out by end of day. My only saving grace right now is that I try to fast from 6pm-11am.  

Answer 14

I think some of my problem lately is that I’ve been sick so just eating whatever to get through the day.  

Answer 15

Been good but plus 3 lbs mobilty poor at the moment that's prob why

Answer 16

Doing great!  

Answer 17

I'm a school teacher, and home until further notice. I do pretty well at school so I put myself on a schedule which includes working hours, taking a walk, meals, etc. It has really helped me stay on track. If I don't have a schedule, I get bored and as a result, I'm in the kitchen way too many times!  

Comments

@clematis maybe that’s my problem! I’m working at home and can’t seem to focus

---

@bigeye It's SOOOO easy to get distracted at home, and I admit, I still do, but not as much as the first week. I was in the refrigerator constantly!  

---

@clematis that’s me now. 3 ice cream cones later

---

@bigeye Well, if I'm going to splurge, it's definitely ice cream! LOL

Answer 18

I have just stayed with my program as usual. I am retired so i didn't have to change much except the gym is closed:((( Doing a lot of walking.  

Answer 19

I’m better at home than I am at work, yesterday was a bad day but I tracked it all and got right back to it today. I’ve come to far in the last 6 weeks to let this derail me.  

Answer 20

I find that by tracking and sometimes guesstimating the weight of something I’m staying accountable. And yes I go over my points at times but I’ve lost almost 5lbs in 2 weeks

Answer 21

Think of tracking as a study instead of a chore and it takes the pressure of losing weight off your mind.  

Answer 22

I want to lose the quarantine 15, not gain it‼️

Answer 23

Pools open in 8 weeks!  Want to stop stress eating? Start wearing your bathing suit now! ‍♀️

@hagiography485 this i need to do!  

Answer 24

Over eating. Was doing great but not for the last 4-5 days.  

Answer 25

I’ve been doing worse except today. with online school starting, an online IEP meeting, plus work, I was busy!  

Answer 26

ugh I've gained 9 pounds this is making me so miserable . how do it get back to it .  

Comments

@chiffon I gained 7 the first week and this week it is going back down. But every day I have to convince myself that I am worth it and what my goals are. Which then makes me try harder for myself. I work on projects to keep me busy.  

---

@brunk thank you I'm going to try to jump back on the wagon

---

@chiffon just take it day by day. I like to think of it as the bus, will i ride the ww bus today or do I need to take the day off.  

Answer 27

I keep on my home workout regularly. . I use to it by now

Answer 28

I’m not I’m getting fat

Answer 29

I’m still tracking and go way over every day. but I think it is less than if I wasn’t tracking. Still walking. Still trying.  

Answer 30

I am actually doing much better staying home to eat! Much better control than when I went out a lot to eat. I don’t want this to be another excuse to derail my healthy eating. If my goal is to be, it is up to me! :)

Comments

@workbench353 Lilley Smith me too, I feel so in control!  

Answer 31

Doing better at home than at work Not sure when i will be going back but tracking everything helps I pace around the house and do the outside of the house also. Aaptiv helps with the walking and gets you activity points

Answer 32

We're all in this together! I have been struggling as well. I have reminders on my phone to track breakfast, lunch and dinner at certain times. I have all the tools - my mind gets in the way! Today is my back on track day. Best of luck everyone!  

Answer 33

Is anyone using Intermittent Fasting to support with snacking reduction? I personally find it helps focus and clarity in the morning (helps me get more work done! ) then i just eat normally from lunchtime :) I'm not selling anything for IF i just thought i might be handy sharing this!
