    Happy Saturday, I hope!

    @eggfreak
    Our birthdays are 2 days apart! Well done on killing the hair dye (I did it at 50), and we'll help hold you to your 1 pound goal. Go for the high volume eating as much as possible (foods that take up lots of room but don't have too many calories), and see how it goes. Stress makes it so difficult - take those deep breaths before taking the big bites. And YES on the workweek hustle! I have been slacking on actual steps - I make it to my 10,000 by doing more exercise bike, but it is not the same. Let's do it :smiley:

    @micki48 @evangsimmons170 @ells_runs @CanadianGiraffe @evelynladams527 and other quiet ones -
    Hoping you're doing OK :heart: missing you all...

    @KellyBgetsfit
    Such a relief that you didn't put on that 1.6 pounds since Wednesday! But it can fluctuate that much anyhow. If your weight keeps going up, the first thing is to double (triple) check that your calorie count is accurate, and if so, it might be time to lower it a bit. As you get lighter, you need fewer :grimace: Being one of the 5-foot barely 1-inch people, I know how miserable that can be, but you'll get used to it! More veggies (I should write a song) :smiley:

    I just ate breakfast a couple of hours ago, and I'm hungry. Grrrrr. Probably time for water, right?

    Not super happy, but its going the right way, and that's what is important...

    Not super happy with a 1.4 pound loss?? Welcome to the "getting close to goal" slow down! It is a good thing! It means you have less to lose.

    @eggfreak olive oil cake with breakfast sounds so, so good right now haha. I actually totally agree with you - I do wake up and enjoy mornings, but should aim to be a Morning Exercise Person. The bed is just too comfy. [It's noon now and I have been up and at em but find myself once again planted on my (now made) bed.]

    I would be very down for a workweek hustle! I run them with my family members who have fitbits, but we tend to lose consistency after a few weeks' spurt at a time. My email for fitbit is kagoglia3@gmail.com if anyone wants to add me! :smiley:

    @Gidgitgoescrazy and @healthygirlintransit losses!! fabulous!

    @KellyBgetsfit glad you caught that you didn't actually gain anything. It goes without saying, but keep pushing - we are all pushing with you!!

    This is my first weekend after changing my weigh-in day. I am excited because I don't feel cravings or like I will binge, as I so often do on a Saturday. I gave myself a TON of household things to do today to keep myself busy. I am moving apartments in early March (very excited because this place has too many quirks that irk me) and I want to start weeding through closets and getting rid of things right now. I also have to sell an extra dining set. I'm going to try putting it on Facebook Marketplace? We'll see. It's not worth anything so I feel like $50 is fair haha.

    Added 1 more mile ran in January yesterday! 3/21 down. And I did a 20 min booty workout with bands after a late work night. Happy with that. And I decided in the end of 2020 that I wanted to try to pick up the violin again so I ordered one and it arrived yesterday! (Any hobby that isn't "snacking in front of Netflix" will be an improvement over the last 7 years of my life.)

    Happy Saturday, team!

    So sorry for your loss. I will give my loved ones an extra hug today. Please take care of yourself and remember how amazing you are!

    @ells_runs I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Prayers for you.

    @Kali225 and @jugar thanks for the support. I love this group. Today, I made sure to measure everything. To be honest, I am very good at estimating measurements, except for cheese. If I don't measure cheese, I will use too much.

    @micki48 Can I join the fitbit hustle? I do one with another group of friends, but I could really use the motivation right now. My email is kcburlinski@gmail.com Thanks.

    @gidgitgoescrazy that is a great loss!!!

    You are SO on fire! I love the energy and the way you are diverting your weekend indulgences. Changing your weigh-in day can really help that - I remember way back some time last year when @Gidgitgoescrazy was fighting weekend issues and changed her weigh-in date to Mondays. It seemed to really help! She is now back to Saturdays and keeping it together - the habit of weekends can change. It looks like you're on for a good workweek fitbit hustle this week too. Let's go!

    @ells_runs
    Thank you for telling us about your father. There are many years of love and distance to reconcile in there, and it is so hard when you have to do that alone. If he is old enough, talk with your son who shares his birthday - that is an odd but special bond. My adopted son has the same birthday as my mom, and even though they are not related by blood, that helped him learn about family and connections. It is complicated, and you have done a wonderful thing by going on, learning a new language, and setting up a life with your own family. They'll see your love and your pain, and love you even more for it. Please do not apologize about turning to food and drink during such a difficult time. If you'd like to have a couple of weeks with no weigh ins, or even the whole month, so that you can give yourself some breathing room for a while, let me know. You can always come in and post about how things are going. Keep well, and let yourself love your imperfect father. :heart: And happy birthday Monday! Another Capricorn -- there are a few of us lurking around in here :smiley:

    @micki48
    Yes - what a demented week. Glad to see you back! So you had a good beginning of the week, and now a good end to the week. Not too much damage done (unlike certain other places!). I find that stomping out a lot of steps helps during times of frustration, outrage, bewilderment - whatever way it takes you! I had a great snowshoe today to help with the worries about what is next!

    @sunny9847
    Great job! That is an impressive 1st week - be sure to take it carefully this coming week to avoid the rebound. Don't cut too much - keep it nice and even. Staying the same for a week would not be a bad result - you are small, and losing over a pound in a week is a lot (fellow small person talking here...), so losing 2.6 is really a lot! Don't try to reproduce the same kind of loss 2 weeks in a row, or you'll be so hungry you'll scare people :grimace:

    @CurvyCalorie Keri, could you repost 1/5 (Tuesday) I seemed to miss it? Thanks:)

    @KellyBgetsfit Got you Kelly! Sent you an invite. I didn't know you were on fitbit or I would have invited you long ago.

    @ells_runs So very sorry for your loss. That is just a tough situation, and a very hard way to start a new year. Sending hugs your way. <3

    @jugar thanks! Your snowshoeing commitment is similarly admirable! My dad has a couple pairs at my parents' place in the Catskills in NY. We always cross our fingers for good snow - maybe I can take them for a spin this season!

    @micki48 thank you for setting the challenge up! Got friend requests from Liselyn and Sylvia too, yay! Off we go!
    Also, steps for the last 2 days: (I think I posted all the others but let me know if I missed one!)
    1/8: 15,209

    Amazing what a call to help my parents with some technology troubleshooting can do for my steps - I have to pace when I talk to them or I will lose my mind that they insist the password isn't resetting. Millennial problems??

    The holiday bloat is easing up slowly. But its fine. I'm still having trouble getting back into things so I definitely haven't been all that great about tracking all my munchies.

    :star:The Green Challenge :star: Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!! B)

    Wayyyyy to go on having a great week!! Keep up the good work and let's crush next week!! B)
