Hands down: Obstruction of routine. I had a few small set backs during my diet the first being within the first two weeks of the diet. Obstruction of routine can come in many forms. In that first example we went away for the weekend, ended up eating whatever we wanted at a restaurant, going to a few bars, etc. [...] [...] What was your biggest failure on the diet, and how did you overcome it?

One of the challenges that faces us all is the motivation to continue on a strict course towards our goals. I’ve failed at dieting on more than one occasion, and so I was hoping that each of us could provide each other with the motivation to continue. Some of us have stronger wills than others, since this passed weekend I didn’t do so well, while others like James Mathias is thriving on the diet. Still going strong, super proud of myself I’ve made it two weeks and one day without cheating on my diet, and since I got the [basketball] hoop I haven’t missed my exercise either. — James Mathias [...] [...] Hopefully today’s announcement will be seen as a big step in the right direction.

Mine can be attributed to cast parties opening weekend of a play Im in... as well as cooking spaghetti and having it the last 2 nights. Oh yeah, and the pizza on Friday. But the last 2 days for lunch - salad. So let's all get back on track and stick to it! Can't wait to hear about the "more reasons" to be successful! :) I was back up to 220 this week (only gained about .4 officially from last week, but about 2 from last Wednesday) so a lot of us are in the same boat, Colin.

It would have been different if I gained weight after an entire week of doing really well. But I knew the entire weekend that I was off my diet. Can't wait to lose more this week! Great work for you and your man. Ana: Yeah, I am certainly not discouraged. It would have been different if I gained weight after an entire week of doing really well.
