    It's confusing when people post their weigh-ins a little different than everyone else. So we ask that this format be used. Thank you so much. This is just as much for you as it is for the captains. Because we could easily make a typo from one week to the next so, having you PW (previous weight) helps a lot! Thank you so much for understanding.

    With the time difference, I may be late, not sure!

    @_Cece_x - Need to have some clarification on your weigh-in post. I didn't see your week #1 weigh-in for this past Friday and you have stated above weigh-in for Sunday, June 9th which starts week #2. So want to make sure I post this on the right week for you. And I also have your PW as 230#, as what was reported for week #4 in May.

    So I'll post 229 as your CW, but in which week? Week #1 as a late post for Friday weigh-in?

    I apologize for suddenly disappearing. My home Internet has apparently given up the ghost and my phone while allowing me to connect to Safari and my apps was not allowing me to do anything in them. I finally got my phone to the AT&T store last night. After a master reset and redownload of my apps I can now access things again. I still have no Internet at home and will make another call on that Monday.

    I promise I will read all the posts that occurred while I was away and a great big thank you to @johicks for being her best.

    Oh Maelyn!!!! I'm so happy that you're back and reconnected!! I have missed my friend. I can imagine the hassle it has been without internet/ wifi. Glad it was that and nothing serious. And you came back with a loss!! Woooohoooooo!! Can you believe that we're already in week #2 of June? 🤗 HUGS 🤗

    Great job!! You will do better. Drive-thrus aren't off limit; they offer healthy choices now. I'm starting to learn when I am strong and plan accordingly what I can have. :) You are doing great! Especially at the wedding!

    Daily post: Sunday
    Track- yes
    Calories- under
    Exercise- ran 4.5 miles and walked the dog
    Day: Sorry that I've been quiet the past couple of days we have had a super nice weekend. I may have totally blown tomorrow's weigh in. I've done well the past two day, but Friday I totally blew it. I ate way too much, then went out with some friends and totally over did it on the adult beverages. I'm hoping not, but we shall see. Such a great weekend. I got more sleep Friday and Saturday night than I have in forever! Felt awesome. We were able to get our pool up and running this weekend and also enjoyed some R&R in the sun! Crossing my fingers for tomorrow's weigh in.

    Daily Post Sunday
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Macros: Good
    Exercise: walked a mile before lunch and a short berry picking excursion after, where my son reminded me he is my sweetest kid. He got excited when I said we could make muffins from the blueberries we picked. Then he tells me its because he wants to learn to fix me breakfast before next mothers day.

    One thing I did well: Increased the intensity of my exercise sessions
    One thing to improve: Haven't been as meticulous about logging my food.... and creating a calorie deficit has been key to my weight loss

    Weekend Post

    Track: Not really
    Calories: Way over
    Exercise: None

    Went way way overboard this weekend, TOM had me a feeling a little like screw it and everything went off the rails. My friend was in town visiting and we had mostly food centric activities planned so that didn't help things. So of course I feel bloated and gross and the scale was not kind this morning. Time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and refocus my energy onto getting back on track. I WILL remain on track for the remaining three weekends this month, I will allow indulgences, but I will track them and plan accordingly.

    🙋🏽 Good morning my teammates - friends. 👋🏽 :)
    @jupdyke~ You got in a great run 🏃, some 💤, some 🌞 😎, and good times. One day shouldn’t have thrown you off too much. You’re doing great. Hope you get time to check in more. Thanks! Yes… all teammates are doing great!
    @ajaia2001~ You deserve a rest day. You get in great workouts!! 💪 Yes, raining here too (Sunday & Monday, so far.) Hence, trying to find a variety of exercises inside. Have a good week. Hope to hear more from you. 👍
    @skullsandskeletons~ Good job for another good day - 🌅Day! Thanks! Yes… all teammates are truly inspiring! You included! Thanks for posting.
    @JamieD328~ Yeah!! A good Sunday with a mile walk, some berry picking, and some 😍. Toooo cute! Thanks for sharing.
    @LuluLovinLife~ Still renovating the RV is good, right? It’s got to be so exhilarating and satisfying. Sorry for the gain. :( Hang in there, it will come off… two weeks left in this month’s challenge.
    @JammyPea~ Wow! Nice loss. You worked hard for it with those workouts! 💪 You’ll get back into tracking. Sometimes it’s hard to do it all when doing something new. You’re doing great! :D
    @jwall309 ~ Jessica, I’m sorry to hear that TOM got a grip on you. Mark your calendar for next month and have a couple of strategies in place. I find eating a little bit of chocolate (my NO Bake Fakes) seem to help me get through. And of course extra sleep. And slowly I’m exercising more so that the overages aren’t so great. This morning I was only .2 over from yesterday. :) We’re learning, aren’t we!? Your overall attitude and lifestyle goal is awesome and inspiring. You will get back on track. I know it!

    It’s Monday and we’re in week #2 of our June challenge.
    There are 18 days left in this challenge.
    So let me leave you with this thought about enduring through this challenge and going forward into the summer days.
    Where will you be in the next 28 days? . . .

    I assumed there may be a gain this week. I'm glad it's not too bad. I will lose this week! The good news it's not all a gain because I dropped 2% in body fat from last week. I'll take that positive change as a loss. Here is to a great week ahead.

    Sunday, June check in (Week 2) Late Entry

    PW: 221.0
    CW: 221.2

    Sorry late entry again. I have been having so much stress at work. I managed to push myself to work out the last couple of days. I'm planning to meet with my manager tomorrow to express my concerns so I can move on. I haven't been using MFP outlet lately and I must try harder to log more consistently. I'm taking a couple of days off from work to destress, so I plan to try to start logging more this week.

    @Toyota100 I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. It's great that you'll get a few days off to destress. Try to get some R&R.

      I was surprised that my workout 🧘🏽‍♂️ this morning made me 🔥SWEAT! It was great. No intense cardio or impact on my knees. I am for sure going to use that one on Mondays and again later in the week. :) I love that I’m experimenting more with a variety of exercises. As on this rainy day (& then in the winter) I need to be sure I don't rely just on walking! Michigan weather is too unpredictable.

    Hi all. I'm sorry I was MIA for a few days. I totally fell of the wagon (embarrassed to share details of food choices) and sort of clocked out and pretended it wasn't happening. Today decided to log on and read your posts (all 66 of them!) and feel inspired to get back in the zone, hopefully!
    So I'll try my best the next couple of days to hopefully undo some of the damage and will be happy with no gain/minimal gain on Friday when I weigh in.
    Have a great day!

    @jupdyke ~ Great outlook on this week's weigh-in. Losing body fat is way more important. Awesome!! I love checking in twice a day. It truly keeps me on track. Come football season, it will probably be once/day. ;)
    @toyota100~ The small weight gain is nothing compared to what your dealing with. You did great this week. Handling stress is no fun!! I hope you get some much needed ME time. Hugs🤗
    @Perla4686~ I feel and know your pain. Logging every bite will get you back on track. Log everything, regardless. I am realizing that tracking is going to be the key to my weight loss success. Even on the bad days, because it keeps the focus on my health and being aware. One can easily avoid posting on a thread, but one can not avoid one self. And…the mental aspect of losing weight will bring you back around as it did you. Glad you found your way back. Forgive yourself and move on. Hugs🤗

    @JamieD328 - Your son sounds absolutely adorable! That is really sweet that he wants to cook for you on next Mother's Day. And yeah, connection issues, still working the kinks out as I share a data plan.

    @LuluLovinLife - You gained, but it was a small gain and could just be from stress this week due to the renovations you're doing. I have never heard anyone say that renovating was stress free! Just track as best you can and get your water in.

    @JammyPea - Nice loss! Tracking is very beneficial to weight loss, not just because you can see that you are creating a deficit but because you can see your patterns. You might start to notice that you are always eating gummy bears in the afternoon. One thing I like about my handwritten food diary over MFP is the ability to write down the time and my mood at the moment I was eating. Gives me a better picture as to what was going on at the time. Did I end up eating lunch three hours later than normal? Was I angry when I was eating that snack? Etc.

    @jwall309 - TOM can sucker punch about all of us. The hormones wrack not just our bodies but play havoc in our mind as well. I have full faith in your recommitment to the process going forward and that you are going to do great. As you said it happened, it's done, it's over, moving on.

    @jupdyke - I wouldn't worry about the small gain too much. As you said you lost in body fat which is the real point of this.

    @toyota100 - Over the next couple of days do whatever you need to do for you. Take a bubble bath, dance around the house in your underwear, sleep twelve hours, do whatever you gotta do to just take care of you.

    @johicks - Definitely stretching and yoga can make you sweat without causing too much strain on the joints. It's one of my favorite things to do. My challenge is Alex the Mighty attacking me when I'm in downward facing dog or training to balance in warrior 3. LOL Nice job on the water and calories today!

    @Perla4686 - I understand. When I lost my connections on my phone and Internet I also went off the wagon for a bit. I didn't sleep for a couple of days and didn't eat and then couldn't stop eating and was eating the wrong things. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day so it will be a fresh start for me too, getting back to my basics that has improved my health and helped me to lose the weight.
