    @murdog3t, well, I will give you an excuse..... Easter weekend and a family emergency. And it's not really an excuse; it's just life. So, this week, get yourself back on track, and chip away at this blip on the scales. It doesn't have to all go at once, just start the number heading back down. (hugs)

    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.

    @karrihowlett, I am actually surprised that you didn't lose this week. You have been killing it in the Mini Challenge! Go over your numbers and make sure that your logging is as accurate as it can be, and that you are not overestimating your calorie burn from exercise and eating back too many calories. Or maybe you are just in a plateau? But yes, regardless, keep working at it and the breakthrough will come!!

    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 :)

    We can understand your need to take a break, but we'd hate for you to leave the group. You are such a support and inspiration for so many of us.

    @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!!

    Thank you and I wish I could take all the credit myself, but the first couple pounds I think I lost from being sick but the last one, I will take credit for because worked hard to get back in the game. I keep waiting to see an in crease but am very pleased.

    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.

    Good luck, Mike! Wishing you much success in your health journey! You should be so proud of what you’ve accomplished to date! :)

    @HASWLRS, next month I won’t be able to participate, SORRY. Life has gotten so crazy, I’m spending a lot of time watching my grandkids plus next month we adding a new addition to our family. Hopefully in June I can return.

    Plus please my last week’s weigh for this week. I’ll be leaving for my daughters for the 3 days, 😀

    @GrandmaJackie, I totally get it!! The busy part, I mean, not the grand kids part; My boys don't even have girlfriends!! Anyways, best of luck on your fitness goals and your new addition come June. Maybe we'll see you back, then. (Pete the Pug is really cute, by the way, and I am not a dog person!)

    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.

    Great job, Erik!! Slow and steady wins the race.

    Up from my weight 2 weeks ago but to be honest I weighed myself on Monday and the scale said 166 so I'm happy. I've had a rough couple weeks but I feel like I'm back on track.

    @thedestar, so glad to hear that you feel like you are back on track! And just in time to start the new month with this renewed resolve!!

    I just realized that I forgot to post these results earlier this week. Better late than never, I guess!

    @drea2011 (7) - 3rd week in a row in the Winner's Circle!!
    @karrihowlett (6) - improved on her Notable Effort to land in the Winner's Circle!!

    Notable Effort - 4 or 5 days:
    @heaz10 (5) - well, Heather's streak in the Winner's Circle ends at 23 consecutive weeks and she sets the all time record for team The Big Butt Theory. Heck, I will go out on a limb and say she probably set the all time record for the entire Challenge!! Well done, Heather!!

    @jlbtnc (4) - fell out of the Winner's Circle due to illness, but still put in a Notable Effort!!

    Traveling with my daughter this weekend and poor planning yesterday led to a way too high calorie dinner at 9:00! I never eat that late and feel horrible this morning. Won’t make that mistake again.
