I completely understand how the scale might be bringing you down because I am right there with you. But I hate to see you go. I have only been with his group for a few months now. I have seen people lose each week and this group has cheered them on and supported them and I have seen people gain weight and this group has cheered them on and supported them. I guess, for me, that support I have witnessed and am now receiving is far greater than what the number on the scale says. I hope you decide to stay. 🤗

@broncobuddee I apologize for the delayed response.
Opening weight 158.4 and Thursday for weigh in so I will post week one weight tomorrow.1 -
Checking in finally!
Mini vacay was awesome. I ate and drank some sinfully wonderful things and I walked a lot. Not expecting a loss tomorrow and that’s ok with me.
This week has been a real challenging one, so I am going to put it behind me and start fresh tomorrow.3 -

Wednesday check-in (OMG - status, steps and now 5 for 90!! =>)
Steps: 14,495 (over)
Calories: under
Exercise: 3 mini walks versus the whole three miles today - Nike up!!- Make time for yourself: getting to sit down with MFP for a half hour, uninterrupted... =>
- Exercise 30 minutes a day: 3 mini walks
- Hydrate: a toughie as I can't slug or I retain but I did get 5 cups throughout the day plus other liquids and am not dehydrated
- Give up a trigger food: the gluten free tortilla chips have occasionally been a trigger food but are not always. Trigger behavior, on the other hand, is to not look in the fridge after dinner - it can lead to mindless snacking before bed
- Thankful for: my mother's continued health good enough to be in her apartment and be a grateful, happy clam =>
Today has gone well on the health front - good food choices, was out in the heat for 3 mini walks but I was able to do it. For tomorrow...a big test. I have a 7am meeting that I'll commute 30 min to the office for (arrival at 6:30), work all day, attend a professional conference and then drive 3 hours and arrive at the coast by 9:30 or 10pm. Long day and I've figured out that going in early, attending my 7am and then taking an hour from 8-9 for a 3 mile walk is my only hope of making the step challenge. Ultimately, it's for me, of course, but the challenge has peaked my interest and desire to compete successfully with me; one of us is bound to come out ahead.
@Wishusdonna - so lovely to see you checking in and it seems you have been doing well, very happy about it!
@notsolazylisa - I get the feeling, having to focus on the number so much as a report to others was hard for me to get used to...are there other options such as only weighing once a week...? Just brainstorming and agree with @mrmcgrath on how uplifting it is to see the group working as a unit to the good of all.2 -

Hey @notsolazylisa - no worries, you do what you need to, and this is always here! I just hung about here when my tumour was still inside me as I knew those scales would be meaningless, and post-surgery I disappeared because, similar reasons, plus I was so tired and in pain! And you all didn't want to know how I was only really eating ice cream and chocolate.
I'm at the stage now where I'm weighing me once a week and just trying not to gain, as I know I can't go run it off yet. My tracker says normal exercise is fine now. It isn't. I know how I feel. And just battling against those doom-feelings is enough.
5 for 90 is an excellent idea. I post in a group called 5 Little Yays about the things I'm thankful for each day, and that's 5 things. It's a little mindfulness thing, where you just stop, look around you, and think, there is somethng here right now, isn't there? Or reflect on your day and think of those moments.
So:
1 - make some time for yourself - I did. I watched Wild on Netflix and did some knitting.
2 - exercise - this I managed. 30 minutes of gently swimming. 16 lengths and then my body said enough!
3 - hydrate. More difficult back at work. 2 days of only managing 7 cups. Must try harder.
4 - Well, my eczema is still gone, so that's alcohol???? Tick.
5 - posted elsewhere.
Yesterday's calories green zone of good under-ness!

@its_cleo - Thanks for checking in even though you were beat. I hope you got lots of good rest! 💤💤 Sleep is so important to health and I keep seeing studies that suggest important to maintaining a healthy weight as well.
@TeresaW1020 - I loved your 5 for 90 for yesterday! 😁 I especially loved your gratitude for your husband. SO sweet, and so inspiring! I am grateful for mine, too. He's in the other room making coffee, and I am going to go remind him of how great he is in just a minute!
@leonadixon - Hurray for all those steps! 🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿
@Jactop - It's just so nice to have you back! I had forgotten about your working at a chocolate store. Your discipline always impresses me. 🏆 I love that you had a plan in place, and hope that all went well!
