    WEIGH IN DAY
    Last weeks weight: 163.6
    This week’s weight: 164.8

    I wish I could lose weight consistently over the course of two weeks.. my goodness, I guess I just have to keep trying.

    @mickey10111, you know where you stumbled last week, so you also know what you have to improve on this week!! Live and learn each week until you get it, and you will get it!!

    Morning everyone!

    Weigh in week: April – Week 4
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Week's weight: 212
    Todays Weight: 211

    1lb off this week and in the right direction ☺️
    Happy to be starting May almost at lowest which is great and feeling on track with my running.

    @HASWLRS is it OK if I move my week 1 May weigh in to Thursday next week? We're off on our first family holiday to the sun and fly out Thursday so I won't be at home with scales for my usual Friday.

    Have a great weekend! I'll check in later run club with my Friday night run ☺️

    Friday weigh in
    Last week- 201.8
    Cw- 203

    I knew there would be a gain and I have no excuses. This is where I usually stall and give up. This time I stall but there is no giving up

    @swauters, love your resolve this time around!! Absolutely no giving up!! You are only up a pound....definitely not worth throwing in the towel for!! Just keep doing the right things and believing that it will work for you this time, because it will!!

    @mikea2g, there's the "Mike like" step numbers we are used to seeing. I guess that means the back is feeling better?

    Tracked-yes
    Under yes
    Exercise yes

    I weigh in in the morning and am expecting a gain. On the upside, my running plan is on track and when I did weights today I am getting stronger.

    NSV of the week- while turning a screwdriver I could see the muscles of my arm working

    @swauters, those are great NSV's! Maybe working out this week didn't guarantee a drop on the scales, but that is not the main reason we work out....it is to get stronger, and you are doing just that!

    @jlbtnc, um, it's really early for champagne here. I'll have to mix it with orange juice to make it more socially acceptable, but mix I will as this needs to be celebrated in style!! (Raising glass) ......A heartfelt congratulations to you, Jennifer, for putting in all the hard work and reaching the much coveted Onederland with such gusto this week!! Cheers!!

    Well, I ate at an average deficit of 750 calories per day this week. Should be down 1.5 pounds, not up 1 pound. Argh!

    These last 2 months have been frustrating for me. A lot of sickness and a lot of back pain. I’m finally coming out of the back pain, which is great, but I am exhausted from the effort of getting through March and April.

    It’s frustrating because I’m so close to my goal, which is 215. I think, for sanity purposes, I need a diet break. I’m going to leave the group and just focus on eating at maintenance and working out when I can. It’s been a great experience being a part of the group. Thanks everyone for support and sharing. It’s been extremely helpful to be a part of this community :)

    @Coral333, well done!! Another pound down, and like you said, heading in the right direction! Absolutely weigh in early next week. I hope you find lots of sun where you are going, I know we could use some here!!

    @Tracie_Lord, you're right. Not every week will be a great week. Holding steady after a long weekend....most people would accept that. You are still down almost six for the month, so well done!!

    Weekly weigh in

    April starting weight - 178
    Last week - 177
    This week - 177 😐

    I’m happy to be down a bit for the month - I suppose all of the eating I did last month caught up to me and made it harder for me to lose this month. I’ll keep working toward the breakthrough next month.

    @mikea2g, aww, Mike, we are going to miss you!! A lot!! But, I do get it. I really do. A diet break will do you a world of good mentally. Then when you feel refreshed, you can again work on losing those last eight pounds. You are more than welcome to rejoin us when that time comes. Or even just a pop in post to let us know how you are doing. Wishing you all the best.

    Weigh-in
    Last: 248.5
    This: 247.7

    Yet another week with a small loss but they have been consistent. I’ve lost about 7 lbs in the 7 weeks since I got back from vacation and reapplied myself.
    I am now down a total of 27.8 lbs. And I am 2.5 lbs away from my lowest weight last fall before I got off track.
    I feel like I am back in a good zone and I really see myself hitting that lowest weight and going much further.

    @erikNJ, that's awesome, Erik! Only 2.5 from your lowest!! Absolutely you are back in the zone and heading towards your new lows!! Glad we can be here to witness these with you!
