TEAM MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES
I HAVE TURNED THE OWNERSHIP OF THE SPREADSHEETS BACK OVER TO STEVE...... AND LISELYN ( @jugar ) WILL BE DOING THE TALLIES AT THE END OF THE WEEK/MONTH WITH MY HELP IF NEEDED.... THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR THE GROUP AND FOR ME....I NEEDED TO STEP BACK TAKE A DEEP BREATH, RE-GROUP-RE-BOOT- AND MOVE FORWARD AFTER A VERY CHALLENGING APRIL FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.
I HAVE DECIDED TO USE MY SKILLS AND GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AS ONE THE RECRUITERS FOR THE GROUP....AND CONCENTRATE ON MEMBERSHIP AND MOTIVATION FOR THE WARRIORS AND THE GROUP.
I DID THIS TYPE OF WORK FOR THE BOYS&GIRLS CLUB OF SOUTH PUGET SOUND FOR 20 YRS ALONG WITH MY JOB OF BEING THE EXEC. CHEF INSTRUCTOR FOR THE TEEN CHEFS AND THE FITNESS AND NUTRITION SPECIALIST.....
I WILL BE OCCASIONALLY POPPING INTO YOUR TEAM THREADS AND CHEERING YOUR TEAM AND PASSING OUT KUDOS TO ALL.
THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR BEING THE CHALLENGERS THAT YOU ARE AND HELPING YOUR TEAM MOVE FORWARD TO MORE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

Going in the right direction again!
Question:
I will be out of town next Tuesday and not going to my WW meeting to weigh in and I've taken my scale out of my house for the month of May. I've never missed a weigh in with this group. Do I just skip next week and carry on the week after?

I'm amazed at the inches I've lost in the last few weeks though. Definitely NOT represented in the number of pounds lost, but at least the scales are moving down again.4 -

Today, I did IF for 21 hours and 47 minutes and had a two-hour eating window. That is the best I've done so far! I was trying for 24 hours but I'm also very aware that I need to listen to my body and when it says to eat I need to eat. I took my scale away for the month of May at my house so I have NO idea if I'm losing, gaining or staying the same. I will find out tomorrow when I go to my weigh in!
Steps 5/5-10,082
Great job! I've not tried to do a 24 yet.
Have you seen the Life Fasting Tracker app? I love using it to keep up with it all. It's pretty motivational. Here's what my week has looked like. It'll give you an idea of what the app can do. It also messages you when your fast time is over. You don't have to stop then, but it is helpful.

Current - 238
Steps for the 6th - 10968
Today - 19200

@UTMom81, I've been using the Life app since I started IF in February! I find it very helpful because I turn it on as soon as I take my last bite of food and I don't eat until I turn it off. Our IF times are so much alike!!

CAPTAINS AND TEAM MEMBERS!
There has been a bad link posted where you can go to look at the MAY Spreadsheets. I just corrected it (I hope!) so all the information should now be visible.
For more details, captains please check the Captain's Lounge thread for my last message. The link is there, and if there are ANY problems, please leave a message there ASAP.
I'm sorry for the problem - I'm not sure where the bad link came from or how it got there, but it should be ok now!0 -

Hey @UTMom81 - That is great news! Muscle is a bit denser than fat, so you can be improving health and getting slimmer while not changing the number on the scale.1 -

Awesome!! I need to measure again, it's been awhile. The scale isn't showing too much but I feel like my clothing fits better and I feel like my body is changing shape, for the better2 -

Fantastic, as you get lower I think you find it is less about the scales. I'm sitting on the cheer squad as I have found over the past month or so I've put on a couple big pounds, but the inches are still coming down, it feels strange, but it reminds us it's about fat loss, not weight loss3 -

Hey @UTMom81 - That is great news! Muscle is a bit denser than fat, so you can be improving health and getting slimmer while not changing the number on the scale.
In addition, you have probably increased bone density with the increased activity3 -

Exactly. I’m really pretty comfortable here. But I’d like to get back down to 145. But, my measurements are smaller now than they were when I was at 145 in the fall. Weird, I know. But I feel pretty good right now.3 -

Do you think it’s from IF?0
