Happy Hump Day for those who are unsure of the day of the week! @LaurieWrobo, great loss! Keep up the great work! Today's floral selection is a white rose rather common around here- the Iceberg Rose. My hubby has yet to plant some in our yard, but we will once we get some new planting space. Enjoy and stay strong and healthy!

This is going to be an interesting rest of the week. Tomorrow, May 1st, is May Day or Walpurgis Day, and today would be Walpurgis Eve. It's a huuuuuge celebration and a city carnival, and everybody wears their high school graduation hats. Especially university students celebrate for weeks leading up to May 1st, but the main festivities kick off at 6PM on Walpurgis Eve, when a specific statue in Helsinki is given its graduation hat and everybody else can also put their hat on. There's usually a crowd of at least 50 000 people gathered around the statue to watch the ceremony, so it's of course cancelled this year and the area around the statue is blocked by temporary walls. The Finnish graduation hat was traditionally worn by all graduates throughout the summer, and you're only allowed to wear it from 6PM at Walpurgis Eve to the end of September (and then on Independence Day in December), so this is also a big celebration for beginning of summer. The rest of the night is, well, a big party and lots of people drinking and going out. Then May Day is a day for outdoor brunches, gatherings and picnics, and there's a specific park in Helsinki that's the center of celebrations, with again about 50 000 people joining for a nice spring day and meeting friends, whether it's rain or shine.
Walpurgis Eve and Day is one of the biggest holidays of the year for me, and now it's effectively cancelled and I'm pretty upset. I still plan on putting my hat on at 6PM and simulating the experience as well as possible, which means taking a walk with my grad hat on and day drinking sparkling wine while on that walk. It's going to be super sad, and this is the most bummed I've been about anything during this social isolation.6 -

Well...I guess it is, what it is. Probably did indulge some for my husband's birthday. But thought the rest of the week I had behaved. Oh well next week is another opportunity to succeed. Cheers and happy May Day! (tomorrow) 😁5 -
I am down on the scale today! Hoping the number stays the same for tomorrow! I have been trying to focus on goals outside of weight, like meeting my food and exercise goals and inches. My weight is just so all over the place.2

I am down from last week but up 1.8 for the month.
Ugh. This has def been a trying time but I have been more active this week, so baby steps walking into June.
Ohio begins phase 1 of opening back up tomorrow. This should be very interesting.
My mom has been in the hospital since Monday with no real update besides that she's got an infection in her lungs and that we are waiting on her Covid results6 -

It's been a crazy April, but I'm hopeful, just like today's flower, that good fruit will eventually come from my good choices. The pomegranate flower attracts hummingbirds, which I'm sure are a good source of antioxidants for them ha ha! They and the bees are fed, and they pollinate the flowers so we can have fruit later. It's a win-win! We had only a few on our young trees last year, but there are some trees in the neighborhood that are loaded!
That is my wish for all of you, that you continue to bear fruit in your health journeys, so you can be a blessing to those around you. I'm bowing out of the group, but I can't without sincere thanks to all of you! I'm not quitting MFP, but other groups I'm involved with are taking my time and energy. Your posts are motivating, inspiring, and have made me laugh! Here's to gray roots but warm hearts! Love and success to each of my a$$ets!

@hipari - could you post your weigh-in for last Sunday? Or your closest guess at what it was then? This will be your starting weight for the May challenge. Because you weigh in on Sundays, that is always the very first day of the week, so we want to be sure to have where you were one week before if we can! Thanks --0

@jugar I didn’t weigh in last Sunday, but comparing the Tuesday weigh-in I posted and my previous weigh-in a month ago I’ve been maintaining, so the 98,9kg / 218lbs is as good a guess as any.

Hi everyone,
What a week. Sorry ive not been around.
Really sorry to hear that @SheilaCali is moving on. Thank you Sheila for your endless supoort and positivity. I wish you all the best.
Lovely to ses @hipari back
I havent weighed in this week.... i forgot yesterday and wasnt in the right headspace this morning. Please can i carry last week's weight over. Starting May in the 170s that way which will keep me on my toes from today!
In May could i weigh in on Saturdays? Thursday weigh ins seem to have tempted me into longer weekends 'off' and i want help building back to a 6 days logging and on cals and one day logging but over cals. Saturday morning weigh in and then a day to indulge a bit beforw getting right back on it.
Take care everyone xxx3 -

Going back down!! Still have not found time to burn extra calories. Still just the work calories. Yeah cleaning houses is a full body work out, but I really need more!! I need to do yoga and calisthenics and RUN!! TIME IS AGAINST ME LATELY!! AAAAAHHHGGGG3 -
Great first (part) week! Unfortunately I don’t think my loss counts for May or April 😬. But it definitely counts for me. 👍

@machchic
@laurenebargar
and @kilobykilo - you changed to Saturday for May, but did not post a weigh-in on Thursday (unless I'm just not finding it), so could you post one now? Thanks!3 -
