    I was not successful in staying away from Easter candy this week. As I work for the school district I had this week off with the kids. I also watched other kids this week which can be stressful. My daughter also loves to bake when bored and she made very tempting treats. It was a bad combination for me. This week will be business as usual and I won't be home for any extra snacking and i will be on my feet alot more. I will have a much more healthy week!

    @Jl20alon2564, well done at recognizing where you stumbled this week. And an extra well done for not gaining in the process!! It'd be so easy to completely throw in the towel! And you are so right, this week will be a more normal week so you can continue your losing ways!!

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm baaaack. Third time's a charm. I was in TBBT at the end of 2017, beginning of 18 when things went a bit askew (finishing my degree, gallbladder surgery, moving from upstate ny to northern va for a new job and to be with my husband who was dealing with hurricane response in PR, so doing it all by myself). During 2017-18 I lost nearly 40 lbs and felt amazing! And then I gained it all back. Dammit. I came back at some point last year trying to make it work - I think I did anyway? Maybe I dreamt it - but things were still in flux and intense and I was not appropriately focused on my health.

    So now I'm here and here is back to 226.5 lbs which is, not going to lie, really disappointing. I'm trying to be optimistic and all that - i did it once, i can do it again, etc - but yeah. There is the long sighs at the clothing i can't wear and how terrible I feel.

    TMI, Additional bonus, I turned 40 in december and no lie, 2 months ago I started getting innnnntense hot flashes. If you haven't had a hot flash before, it's like the people in Iron Man 2 who combust internally first? That's what it felt like. It was - if nothing else - awkward AF because I'd be standing there talking to my boss and suddenly crawling out of my skin. I'm finally on a hormone supplement and it's starting to even out. I definitely do not recommend this getting old thing and sincerely regret every goodnaturedly picking on my poor mom. I'm also going through perimenopause pretty young, but i guess when you know, you don't use the goods they kind of go kaput early, or something. the changes my body is going through are contributing to the terrible feedback loop - i have no energy so i don't exercise so i don't have energy - and i'm just depressed at how i look and how winded i get.

    So, thats the debbie downer stuff. On the upside: I'm 4 days into a 30 day yoga regimine, and looking forward to getting back into the pool as swimming is my preferred exercise. I'm in a 5k at the beginning of June as well with work, so I have an array of health goals that are enough to keep it interesting but not overwhelming.

    Counting calories takes practice and I'm out of it, so that's a big goal for this month overall. And doing the daily challenge. I'm looking forward to being a good contributor to the big butts :) And yeah, i get wordy. Sorry in advance :smiley:



    We like wordy!! Welcome back to the Team.

    Weigh in day: 169.7

    A frustrating month as pretty much where I started. However I did slack off so know I can do better. NSV in the form of a taekwondo award this week which shows how far I have come.

    No excuses this week. I’d like a decent loss to start May.

    @lozenger1984, congratulations on your taekwondo award! It's always affirming to have our efforts recognized! Maybe your weight didn't change much for the calendar month of April, but today, for you, is your first weigh-in for the May Challenge, and you are already down 1.9 pounds for the month of May! So forget April, and concentrate on kicking May's butt!!

    @Kwinnero, your weight may be up slightly, but your Mini Challenge post tells me that you are recommitted to getting back on track and losing in the month of May! Onward and upward!
    Or, in this case, downward!!
