Loss: 5.5lb
I am hoping this stays off this week, as I may *actually* reach my birthday goal for Friday!
@cmhubbard92, so happy for you, Christine!! Cheers to Onederland and all your hard work to get there!!
@HASWLRS thank you so much! I am sad to see that you are leaving us, but I wish you the best, and am glad that you have the chance to take care of yourself! Hope to see you back, soon!
Edit: @pkg1998 if you need help with putting weights in, I could help back you up! Just let me know if you would like/need help!
@cmhubbard92 Christine - Congratulations you are now officially co-captain (like Lisa said it’s really just entering weights for me if I’m out of pocket, which I try not to be very often). I’ll let Ashley know so that she can give you rights to edit the spreadsheet. Honestly with your activity on the boards and your support for this team with the steps/water challenge I think you were unofficially a co-captain already - at least I felt like you were.
@pkg1998 Awwww, thanks Pam! @HASWLRS thank you too Lisa! I am just glad I can just help out!1 -

How do you guys deal with the times when it just all seems to be a pain in the patootey for a tiny tiny loss?
After a lot of effort, a loss, even if it is a few gram is a lot better than even a 100g gain. Knowing that my scale and/or measure tape will catch up with my effort keeps me going. Also knowing if I get depressed about it, I will go back to square one in a 100th of the time it took me to get where I am now. Just keep doing what you are doing0 -

I'm having serious 'f**k it' attitude this week. I need to adjust that before it slips into a bag of candy corn gone and sitting on my *kitten* all day for a week. Today I will work on some outdoor gardening and a walk to try to shake it.

@annabananamc I just keep on trying. It can be difficult at times, but even if I feel like going off track, I just log what I am eating regardless if it is in my plan for the day or not. Just hold yourself accountable when things seem to be working against you, it won't always be that way, I think. Like @petrocoetsee said, it will catch up at some point!

Today I am planning on staying pretty low on calories. Tomorrow is my birthday and I know my boyfriend is planning on taking me out to dinner, so I'm saving calories for something good! We do have a vet appointment for the puppy tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully that is a quick visit and not too expensive!1 -

@annabananamc I think that is probably something all of us deal with on a regular basis especially based upon posts that I’ve read over the past few months. The problem is I don’t think there is a clear cut and dry answer for any of us. We just have to try different things to keep us going. My go to is usually to look back at time when I’ve had a better loss and I tend to find things that I’ve done different before (either food wise or exercise wise) that seemed to make a difference. I then try to incorporate those into my plan and hope it helps. That’s one of the reasons why I think logging food is so important and I need to be more consistent with it during the week (I’m great Mon-Wed then start to slack off).
Maybe just getting off the *kitten* is a good start

@brandi_84 A little gain can be expected from time to time. They important thing is to understand where it might have come from and see what adjustments you can make. I’m sure you’ll come back with a loss next week.0 -

@cmhubbard92 Love, love, love, that you’re pre-planning for tomorrow so that you can truly enjoy yourself. Only happens once a year - we can’t be expected to not enjoy it.
Hopefully the vet appointment is just a routine check-up and all goes well for the little one.0 -

@pkg1998 thank you 😊 I've been making sure to stay under all week because I know tomorrow is going to be an over day. Don't want to lose my streak on the mini-challenge, lol. I do have to work tomorrow, which kind of sucks, but am thinking the vet visit will go well, the little one just needs his booster and his monthly meds filled. He should be in the clear from having to go back for quite a while, now!0 -

Thanks guys! I really like the idea to keep logging even when I'm not getting an 'A' instead of 'dropping the class' - for me that is huge. I tend to do really well at something for about 3-4 months, then go into screw it mode and as a result end up staying pretty much where I am for the past 10-15 years.
Time to try something different, to get different results!2 -
Good afternoon, team The Big Butt Theory.
Regrettably, I have come to the decision that I need to leave The Biggest Loser Challenge and take a sabbatical from MFP. I have only pretended to take care of myself for quite some time and I can no longer keep up the facade. The team will be left in Pam's (@pkg1998) very capable hands. She will continue to enter all your weights and remind those who are missing weigh-ins. Christine (@cmhubbard92) will continue to do the water and step challenges and Shawnee (@sandkp) will continue to do the food and fitness challenges. Assuming the team decides to continue with the Mini Challenge, someone will need to compile and post those results. To get the team caught up and then leave it up to date, I will be posting the Mini Challenge and weekly results until the end of the month.
Lisa
@HASWLRS I am sad to see you go, but I do understand. I hope we will see you back here in the future.
If you are planning on keeping up with the Mini Challenge until the end of the month, I can start compiling and posting the results starting the first week of the November challenge - If the team would like to continue it.
@brandi_84. Thank you so much for volunteering to manage the Mini Challenge. Based upon the number of participants we normally have, I’m sure most of the team will want to keep it going. I know for me that on the weeks that I actually participate fully I tend to see the best results.
@pkg1998 I'm happy to help. I will be sure to post the mini challenge description in the November thread as Lisa @HASWLRS mentioned.0 -
