Made a chart to keep in my bathroom after weigh in to see the visual. Meeting friends for dinner Sunday so I'm keeping myself in "check" to make sure I don't go overboard. It's fried chicken for crying out loud.. my favorite delicacy! LOL4 -

For example, if I weigh in at 171.40 how do you track it? 171.40 or 171? Do you round it up or down? Just curious and often wondered. Cheers and thanks.
I'm just a team member, but from what I've seen, weight is captured in tenths of pounds, so 171.40 would be entered as 171.4.
Yes, thank you Frank. ! I suppose if we were weighing in to qualify for the Olympics, we would go to the hundredth of a pound, but for our purposes, we simply stay in with the tenth of a pound, no rounding.
Perfect. thanks for confirming. Cheers.1 -

Week 1
Saturday
SW: 209
CW: 205.5
* I signed up with my starting weight on Jan 24 but since my weigh in day is Saturday this is more like almost 2 weeks - but I guess it still counts? I am a little nervous it might be partly water weight fluctuations but it is what it is I weighed 3 times. Hopefully I don't go back up next week.
My mini-goal for February is to be in the 190's (like safely in - not where minor fluctuations push the first number back to a 2!) When I said in my intro I was at my highest weight ever that wasn't really accurate, I am at my highest weight ever this "go round" but I actually started intentionally losing mid-November at 219. Had a little blip over Christmas and now getting back on track.3 -

Covid lockdown here is getting me down and sapping my motivation to exercise, but it is also sapping my motivation to cook, and I have no prepared "junk" food in the house, so I am eating less at least.1 -

I would love to hear everyone's answers, I could use some motivation! I suppose my motivation, at least for today is the scale, I stepped on it and I was back up again.
So I got in a nice 30 min walk to start the day.

After plateauing for a week, my weight finally dropped. But I'm feeling motivated by my increased mobility. Given my problems with hip/knee pain, I've been very limited on steps and distance. But that's changing. I walked 2.0 miles just now (took me 45 minutes).
So I've joined three challenges at my gym:
1. February Step Challenge: 2,500 steps on Day 1, increase by 250 steps each day thereafter. That means on Feb 28th, I'll have to take 9,250 steps! (yesterday, I hit 7,000 steps!)
2. February Run/Walk Challenge: run/walk 50 miles in the month of February.
3. Spring Sprint 5k challenge: This starts virtually on Monday (I don't have the details yet) and ends with a 5k run/walk on March 20th (I'll be walking). 5k is about 3.1 miles, so this one's an ambitious goal for me.

This past week was ROUGH, right? I agree...I have been pretty ok for nearly a year and this week was super hard.
BUT...what is motivating me to get down to my Happy Weight (I am between 2-5 lbs up after holidays...) is that this isn't forever! I think summer will be more normal (I was actually vaccinated, as I am essential as a teacher teaching each day in person) but gotta wait for my family too! I am excited to be out and about in warm weather SOON! (I say this on a day when the high in Chicago is literally 5!!)3 -
