Wednesday, 6/26 mini challenge
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: 30 minute walk
Steps: 12,6141 -
Team, I am struggling big time. Usually when I am stressed I just lose the urge to get in workouts but I am still good with my diet.
But the train has gone completely off the track. Diet has been a bust. I haven’t even stayed on my intermittent fasting schedule.
I guess my 14 week streak of not gaining weight is going to come to its end.
I really came here to opt out of this challenge for a bit ... but maybe cause I bothered to even type this out means I have some fight left in me?
Don't you dare give up! If you give up that means I can give up because we are both in the same situation. We need you here! I need you here! YOU need you here! Keep going. One minute, one decision at a time. Keep going.
Take a good reflection of why you joined the challenge. REALLY why you joined the challenge. Why you want to lose weight. Why you want to be healthier. And use that as motivation to stay with us.
I will not give up. See how that pact and this group keep me in check. Thanks to those that took time to respond.
I knew that writing out my message was some form of therapy just to get some things out there in the open. I won’t go into my personal issues or what things have happened recently. But it is good to come on here and read the positivity.
I have been back to tracking my food, eating healthy and intermittent fasting again. Still have not been back to the gym but I am glad I made some progress - small steps right now. It will probably be my first bad weigh-in since February, but I have to realize that my stretch of losses or breaking even was longer than even I expected5 -

I am glad you have decided not to leave us and you can vent to us anytime! Even though you haven't been back to the gym, don't stress it! You are logging and tracking, and that is a big step in the right direction! Just keep in mind that a detour from your path may put you back a little, but you are further from where you started! Best of luck on the Weigh-In!!! We're rooting for you!

I have lost 125lbs gone from a UK 22/24 (US 26/28) to a UK 12/14 (US 8/10) and a BMI of 47.2 to 24.1. I am not sure if I should remain in this group as although I still feel I want another stone I'm not sure where my body will end up weight wise as I also want to build more muscle mass. I'm also 5'11 so its so hard to tell as I am not 'average[' hahaha
I don't want to be idle and let the team down1 -

We are here for support, not just weight loss. Sure dropping weight helps with the challenge, but I think the support of the team to keep focused on our goals is just as important.1 -

Weigh in week: Week 4
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous Week's weight: 195.8
Todays Weight: 194.6
This weight was after I had a cup of coffee and an apple. I wasn't going to weigh in because thought I may have put on, because have not been tracking food, although eating healthy but more than usual, and eating later in the night. I am ok with the loss and know my change in habits will eventually come back to bite me, if can't get it back to my usual.1 -
Weigh In
Last: 242.6
This: 243.7
Around a pound up after a chaotic weekend, i’ll take this. I was 243.9 on May 30. Then I lost a pound and maintained the entire month until this. I’m going to just pretend that June didn’t happen, haha.
Also, I did ride the positive energy and got myself to the gym last night. Moving forward.2 -
Good morning team. I am here. We got our son home Tuesday night. I did use his homecoming as an excuse not to log in, and when I came back on here this morning, I intended to give my five weeks notice. But then I read through the posts, and saw that some of you that are struggling thought about leaving, too, but decided against it. I have decided against it, as well. Being on MFP and team TBBT is not the problem, but a potential solution, so how is leaving going to help? I need to apologize to all of you for my absence and lack of leadership and cheerleading, but especially to the new members for June. You were promised something that I didn't deliver, and your initial experience with, and your opinion of, this group, I am sure, has been tainted.
Thank you to all of the Big Butts that stepped forward to be good team mates and cheerleaders in my absence.....you know who you are. (I am not going to name individuals, in case I leave someone out inadvertently).
Personally, I need to take this one hour at a time, and make 60 conscious decisions in every one of those hours.
Last time I actually weighed myself: 181 pounds
Today: 187.2 pounds
I WILL NOT cross over into the 90's!!3 -

Those 6.2 pounds will come off as soon as you can refocus yourself! Life gets in the way sometimes, but we all understand that! Remain positive, and keep pushing forward! I like you 60 conscious decisions comment!!! Very positive thinking! I am glad you have decided to stay with the rest of us!2 -

I was expecting a gain this week, because when I weighed in last week it was at the height of my mastitis and I had barely eaten for a few days. June has been a very frustrating month for me. I have been battling this sickness on and off all month, and have been on and off antibiotics for 5 weeks. I'm still on the mend. I had to take last week off of running because I was so sick I could barely move, and I am still feeling weak on my runs this week, which is frustrating. I'm ready to feel strong again. Thanks for letting me vent, guys, I have about 10 pounds until my pre-pregnancy weight, but July will probably be my last month in this group because I feel like I'm weighing everybody down (punny
) because I'm losing so slowly. I love this group, you guys are great. Here's to a good July! 2 -

I am so glad you are staying with us! It is very easy to throw in the towel- we have all wanted to do that at points.
Take it one decision at a time. Think about why you are here, why you joined TBBT, and why you took on being our leader.
What if you flipped your thinking and instead of using your son coming home as an excuse, use it as your motivation to be your best self?2
