Hi Team!!
Welcome to the challenge! My name is Jessica and I am your Captain this month. @AmyG1982
is our co-captain, jumping in when she can to help me out! So you can tag me @jwall309 or @AmyG1982 to answer any questions you have or just anything you need!
Sorry for the delay on this intro post, I was out of town for a bachelorette party over the weekend, so things were kind of on the back burner until I got back!
I have been a part of this challenge since March 2019, so this will be my 11th month of the challenge. I have lost 30 pounds and hope to lose about 20 more to get to goal weight! The past 4 months have really been a struggle of gaining and losing the same 5 pounds with no meaningful progress, so I really need to recommit to this. This month marks the 1 year milestone of starting this journey and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wish I was closer to goal....but today is a new day and I will focus on things within my control.
You will weigh in here on your weigh in day every week, please use the following format!

Week #
Weigh In Day:
Previous Weight:
Current Weight:
I know we are all human, so if something comes up and you miss your day its ok, but we need weigh ins by end of day Saturday to count towards the week. If you miss two weeks in a row, you are removed from the challenge. And remember the goal is accountability, so really strive to weigh in on the day you chose at the beginning of the challenge!
We also do an optional daily challenge, where you can check in each day about how things went. The format is:
Daily Post (Day)
Track: Yes or no
Calories: Under, over, or at goal
Exercise: did you do purposeful movement
Day: Assessment of the day, how you did, how you feel, anything you want to talk about.
This is an optional challenge, but I find it really helps keep me on track to post daily about how things are going! Also helps me reflect on emotions and stress and how that effected me day, especially as an emotional eater. It helps me with self awareness and strategizing for how to handle my emotions without food.
Let me know if you have any other questions!3 -

I had to tweak my diet this week (prep for colonoscopy). NO nuts, seeds, whole grains, raw vegetables, fruits and vegetables that have seeds. I may not have made the best choices, but my favorites have been made off limits. Good thing this prep is only 5 days and the worst of it is less than 1 day.

Just a reminder that the challenge months don't exactly follow the calendar! So the first weigh in for Saturday folks is this coming Saturday Feb 8 , NOT Feb 1st. Sorry for the confusion!1
