    Week 01 - I need to cook at home and drink less alcohol. This means coming up with strategies for social occasions!

    Hi
    I'm not sure how I should be doing this. I found my original entry but then the next day I updated with my start weight. Can't find that entry. I know I am supposed to copy a template and keep adding to it but thats where I am being a bit thick. How or where do I go to add my next bit to the list. Do I just reply to someone who posted last with my updated template or is there another way I should be doing it. As it is I just go to the last entry and 'post reply'

    What I do, and I often use my phone, is I have the template saved in my clipboard on my phone. I use Google keypad on my Samsung, it's a little clipboard icon on the top of the keypad. I guess from a PC, have the template in a word doc or something similar, continue to add to it and cut and paste. 🤷

    Thanks Juliebigoolee, I got the cut and paste bit sorted now, I will checkout your suggestions for where to store the template, but still not sure where I should pitch in at. For example, I couldn't see a reply point to thank you, so just came to the bottom of the page for post reply. Thats the bit Im stuck at now, where do I post up my updated template? Do I just go to last entry and tab post reply or is there some tab that I am not seeing

    Have you been doing any weight training? I have found this to be much easier when I'm doing weight training in between cardio days.

    If I'm understanding what you are confused with, you post at the end of the last entry, there will be a post box to put your updated template in. The group feed is organized chronologically so it's in order of who posted last. In order to see/access what you posted last you have to click though the pages to find it but new postings will always happen on the last page. Hope it helps and that's what you are asking.

    "In order to see/access what you posted last you have to click though the pages to find it "....

    Also helpful for finding what you posted last: Click "search"at the top left of the last (most recent) page of postings in this challenge; click the arrow at right to open up the menu; enter your username next to "author"; click search at bottom left. Should take you to your last post.

    Hi guys,
    I hope it's ok to post my weight in a day before, it's just a habit to go on my scale on Saturday mornings. Anyway, this week I lost 0.5lbs. I had a really stressful week and another one ahead. Hope everyone keeps going and we'll get there eventually!

    Happy week 3 y'all!
    A few personal thoughts, that I need to remember... Take it or leave it.
    1. Weight loss isn't linear. I'm pretty sure I could weigh myself every hour and have my weight bounce up and down 0.5-1.5lbs throughout the DAY. True, sustainable weight loss looks like a zig zag line that TRENDS downward. It's not an even, smooth, downward slope. I can't let one zag ruin future zigs.
    2. My head lies to me, my head wants me fat and miserable. My head wants me to hate, and therefore sabotage and mistreat my body. I must take healthy actions regardless of what my crazy head thinks.
    3. The scale is merely one tool to keep track. It is not the end all, be all. The scale doesn't know my mensual cycle, yesterday's salt intake, hormone levels, stressful day, etc. I must take healthy actions regardless of what the scale says.

    That being said, IT'S ONLY WEEK 3!!! And you ladies and gents are doing a fabulous job of checking in, being accountable and supporting/inspiring others!
    Keep up the good work! 😘♥️🧡💛💚💙💜👍💪🍎💧☀️
