I'm so so sorry! I'm letting the team down.
We've just moved cities, I've started a new job and I'm house hunting! I need a gazillion hours in the day! Plus I have no laptop yet (everything in storage thanks to a 3 week holiday before the move!)
No problem! Life happens and you are in the thick of it! keep up when you can
And on top of that, your weight was in the green! You lost, so you certainly did NOT let the team down. Thanks! 3 -
Happy Sunday, y’all,
The weather is so warm here in Vermont it seems perfectly reasonable to use Southern expressions. I’ve lived here long enough to know that winter is *not* ending, yet. It’s part of the regular January thaw. It is really way too warm (up to high 50s today), and it makes me edgy.
It didn’t help that I spent the afternoon on Friday celebrating my younger daughter’s 34th birthday watching Aladdin (remake-it’s actually pretty good), while she napped. We had a short visit while eating homemade cheesecake (which I made that morning) and later, sharing take out from a local Asian restaurant. It seemed odd that she wanted me there to be a part of her day even though she was too worn out to stay awake for more than an hour or so. I guess it’s about “being” and not just “doing”. I guess I had some other concept of what we’d be doing after driving 2.5 hours (x2), like museum trotting.
Well, off to church and then back to do laundry and get the last of the decorations boxed and put in the attic.
Have a great day. Happy everything!2 -

Good Morning everyone!
Last week weight 157.5
Cw : 158
Would have loved to see a loss but kind of releived that I basically held even. This was a rough week for me. Lots of social functions that involved eaging out. I feel a bit puffy and rings a bit tight so wondering if im holding a bit of water weight too. Well- on to a new week!

Amber, I’ve been there as well. You have the exercise down. I haven’t checked your diary, but I’m guessing you are under your calorie goal. I have a couple thoughts.
First, you have lost a tremendous amount of weight this last year. Sometimes the body needs to plateau for awhile to readjust. Even though we hate it, it is actually a good thing. It allows your body to recalibrate your setpoint, so you can soon continue to lose. (I am not a dietitian, it’s just what I’ve read and experienced personally). You will probably have to do something to shake your body or metabolism up if you go on like this for awhile. I had two month long plateaus.
Second, check your sodium vs water intake. Have you had more foods with high sodium lately? That can do it. And as always, keep very hydrated. It doesn’t always seem to make sense, but drinking water HELPS you lose weight.
Finally, do you check your macros? When I hit those plateaus, I did a lot of reading on protein. My protein was low almost every day. In fact, protein aids in weight loss. Make sure you are near the macro target and make sure you are adding protein to every meal. This was tricky, at first, because more protein means more calories,which I didn’t always have. I tried to add flax, quinoa, chia to Greek yogurt (which has good protein.) Chose protein rich veggies, nuts etc. That might be the kick your body needs. Whatever you do, don’t give up. This is a bump in the road. You’ve travelled so far. Just keep going.
Hope this helps. 🤔🙂4 -
Sat steps - 11,807
I wish I had looked at that last night and I then I would have forsure gotten my 200 steps to meet my goal.
@Terytha I'm sorry the scale isn't moving for you. I get so frustrated when I feel like I am on point but the scale doesn't agree. There are so many factors - have you recently changed your workouts because that can add water weight? Sodium and sugar cause a temporary gain as well. Try not to let it get you down and keep on trying.2 -

Oh my goodness you are not kidding! How do you manage to do both? I have a question about your weigh-in though -
I had 157 (starting) 156.5 (week 1) as your latest weigh-ins before this one. Either you made a typo or I made 2 of them! Can you confirm if you mean 156 or 166 ?0 -

Not too late at all! Sunday people have the most relaxed weigh-ins of everyone. Since you're the first day of the week, it won't become critical until the end of next Saturday! It is good to get them in on your actual day, though - so thanks! And don't sweat the time - I try to take all the team's time zones into consideration!2 -
OK Team!
We had a good Week 1 - we were 79.4% in the green, and lost a healthy total of weight at 43.2 pounds. No one lost a too large amount (which always worries me!), so there was a lot of good, consistent effort that went into good, sustainable losses. Well done!
Let's see if we can get our green percentage higher this week. Without getting obsessive about it - just consistent and sustainable.
As @micki48 said above, sometimes a plateau is exactly what we need. Our bodies really want those "getting used to the new normal" periods, and if they don't get them, things can get frantic. If the plateau seems to go on too long, there is surely something you have to change. @evangsimmons170 cutting out flour for a while. @micki48 packing in more protein. But don't throw your hands in the air and just give up! Little step after little step might not be exciting (like some of the other team members who started intermittent fasting in a big way and lost a LOT this week), but dang - it works. And can be sustained.
Tally ho, wonderful people! Another week is happening.3
