Right now I"m saying too many calories in general, but consistency is big too - as I usually do well during the week, but horribly on the weekend! So I don't gain weight, but I don't lose either.

I voted too many calories in general. Although I was doing very well, the week before the week before the wedding especially, the calories are slowly climbing up. Now they are moving up just a little, but that's enough to be concerned about because I don't want to be in the place I was in, where "it's just a little" causes me to start gaining some of the weight I lost again.
It's harder now that I'm living with DH. When we go out, he can order coneys and fries, and fried fish and fries (although he shouldn't so much) and I can order salads and small meals. But at home, he likes to cook. One night last week, I wanted a salad, just a salad. He wanted me to have meat and stuff. He said he is going to make sure I have a good dinner now. What I would like him to understand is that sometimes I really am OK with just grabbing a SlimFast or cottage cheese and fruit in the evenings. I may just have to be more careful about portions now if he wants to cook; it does make him happy. He is trying too. We had tuna steaks (I couldn't finish mine - good leftovers though)
My Reading Journal
Ya, DH does get excited about some of the stuff he cooks, and he's a good cook, no doubt. I just sort of feel like I have to fight hard to stay where I am with my weight, not so much fight with him. I mean like workout harder or make compensation at lunch or other places to keep on track when dinners may be a bit more than what I'mm used to. But maybe that'll work.
I voted for not enough exercise.....I know that's my downfall. I can keep the food under control, most of the time, but exercise is another thing!!!
Plus water ;-)
Moderation IS Key!
