Hi folks! I have great news! We have a new team captain! So please, be on your best behavior, and congratulate @melaniedscott on her new leadership position. Melanie has been such a positive presence here on the team, and will be a fantastic co-captain. I'm so excited to have her on my side.
And Melanie? Now that I've made the announcement, you're not allowed to back out.
Sorry, not sorry.

Ha ha.
On second thought...is it safe to have two sarcastic captains?
If Lisa and Theresa had really intended for Team WNM to be a safe place, they would never have suggested I have a position of power in the first place. And yet, here I am. And now, here you are.callsitlikeiseeit wrote: »minstrelofsarcasm wrote: »TEAM UPDATEcallsitlikeiseeit wrote: »Friday weigh day and its a good one! WOOT!
today's weight 208.8
Oh wow, that's an impressive loss! I want to make sure I have this right. It looks like your recorded weight from last week was 216.6, which would mean a 7.8 lb loss over the course of a week. Is that correct? Do you think that was from water weight, less bloating, or just working off 27,300 calories? I'm curious.
PS: I also talk about Oreos a lot. Oreos are magnificent.
no way was my deficit that large by any stretch of the imagination. LMAO The previous week I had lost 1 pound (and maybe a fraction therof). REALLY, THAT (by the books, anyway) should have been larger, but TOM and 2 meals out in restaurants contributed to a fair amount of water retention. So, balanced out about 4 pounds (roughly) each of the 2 weeks which is consistent with what happy scale is saying the trend right now is. My daily calories are set at 1500 (If I workout I tend to eat close to that, if I don't I try to stay a bit lower), and I don't usually eat back exercise calories (unless we are talking Mexican food and chips and queso- in which case GAME ON!). With the amount I need to lose (by the books, 100 pounds, but for ME and my bone structure/frame- nowhere near that unless I just decide to see if it can be done but its not my target at ALL) the deficit I am carrying, even with not eating back many exercise calories right now, at this moment, is fine.
Whew, that's a relief to read. I was surprised by the large difference, especially since you are not exceptionally heavy by any stretch of the imagination. If you were 400+ lbs, I could see losing 8 lbs in a week, but you? No no no. A deficit that large in one week would require not eating anything at all AND exercising on top of that.
And now that you've mentioned Mexican food... I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.2 -

MESSAGE FROM PAM @sleepymom5
Hi Debbie,
Do you mind updating the team again? My Brother in law passed away on Monday. The funeral is this coming Monday. I will be back sometime mid week. I will be on the cheer squad for team WNM but for the Sole Mates I will do 6,500 steps and 60min strength/10 days. I think I will be off to a slow start but catch up after the first week.
Thanks for doing this. I just can’t get on the community section on the app. I use a computer at home.
Pam
Thanks for all the prayers too

@melaniescott
Congratulations on becoming our team captain, you will be great and I am looking forward to having you and @ minstrelofsarcasm leading us along.
@minstrelofsarcasm
Love the picture. I would go to the mall’s health food store to weigh with a friend. She started by removing her shoes, her sweater or jacket, her jewelry, yes her socks. I reminded her one day that she was not allowed to strip in the middle of the mall.
@melaniescott and @minstrelofsarcasm
Looking forward to the dynamic duo! As far as sarcasm, bring it on………………………….
@Freeglerock
I am having the same issues, one up one down. Yes, we do need to look at the big picture. Good reminder.
@lennoncpa - nice loss, congrats!
@podperson1- Looks like holding your own, which can be a good thing.
@bumpbreaker – nice loss this week
@BlueSkyNomad - good loss and walking!
@KUMEcyclingteam – enjoy your month off, stay focused. We really enjoy you too!!

Was a good week, we are in a "state of emergency" so back to lockdown for while, this has been hard on my motovation. Whenever I get the mind set im home and not seeing anyone I get off track very easily so have been making a mental effort to stay away from snacks and actually do a run and not put it off till later. However it finally snowed! So I pulled my son around on his sled yesterday through a trail with the dogs for almost two hours, and that may be the hardest workout I've done in awhile lol and we have been working on teaching him to skate which is so funny considering I'm awful at it, but he likes it so I guess its time for me to buy some skates again. Lol here is me attempting to get him to skate while all he wanted was to "swim on the ice".
Great loss and I love your picture, Marcy.

Finally a little progress on the scale! I have noticed that my clothes are a little looser so maybe I'm losing fat and gaining muscle from the 2 a day workouts. I will know when I go do my BMI test in 3 weeks.3 -

Quick Update on me:
Yesterday's Weight (pre-spin class): 169.8 lbs
Today's Weight (no spin class this morning): 167.2 lbs
Clearly, I was holding onto a lot (A LOT) of water. Most of which was ... released before I weighed in this morning. So I updated my weigh-in, and reconfirmed that my body is doing awesome, regardless of what my scale says.
Does it look like I lost 2.6 lbs overnight? Absolutely.
Did I burn the 9100 calories necessary to burn 2.6 lbs overnight? Pfft, no.
Did I eat half a bag of tortilla chips with half a jar of salsa yesterday? You know it.
Great news, Ashley. Great to see you as co-captain, Melanie!1 -

One pound on, but it still leaves me with I think just over 4.5lb overall loss in this month. This past week has seen me cake baking and decorating for my son's 9th birthday, then proceeding to eat a little too much cake in the following days. And then TOM arriving. So, to be honest I think only 1 pound on is a bit of a win!
I agree that is a win, Lisa!1 -

I had a great work week in terms of results but it meant that I was desk-bound much of the time. I'm okay with this and hope to gain some balance and lose weight in February.
I'm not complaining. It's nice to share a desk with Xavy.
