That's fantastic progress @PlaneMonkey!
I opted for the starter and side from TGIs last night, went for a run/kept calories low during the day and managed to fit everything in comfortably. Had a 100g loss on the scales this morning so pleased with that. What I did notice was how salty the food was. I still feel very thirsty now.
Had a blissful lie in this morning - the first all week - and haven't done anything productive yet today, preferring to snuggle with the cats on the sofa! I told OH I'd run with him today and show him a new route, otherwise we'll just be pottering about and I fancy a trip to the garden centre. We're not going to clear the to do list this weekend, so will focus on having the house clean and tidy, then we can keep chipping away at it around work.4 -

You are now the officially smallest person on the team! I fluctuate around 114 - 116 but right now you are "losing"! Congratulations! Soon you will join me on maintenance
Another lovely day with the frogs clacking away like crazy. They only make that noise for a few days when they first come up, so we are enjoying the concert. I have to get out and walk, run, bike or something a bit more intense than lunging my horse where he does most of the work - my muscles are complaining at the neglect. I will try to make them happy today.
Enjoy your day - lazy, busy, or whatever kind is in store.3 -
Got my nails done with my Mom today.. I notice I enjoy these little self care things better when I'm looking after my body. Snuck in my walk before the bad weather is set to come in as well.. no excuses!3

How often do you get on the scale? I may get on too often. Has anyone found weighing less often actually helped to lose weight or stay on track better?2

This is always an interesting question. I find it best to weigh often, but to take the fluctuations as normal (after seeing so many of them!) and being very serious about getting back to stricter tracking and limits if weight starts to creep up for more than a few days. I know other people who find it better to stick to weekly weigh-ins. Less than that can be a bit difficult, but who knows? Great question! My "tell" that I am not eating reasonably and am afraid to know the worst is that I do not weigh myself for several days in a row. That tells me as much as the actual number will once I get on there...4 -
Last call!
Week 2 will end in less than 12 hours, so please be sure to get the remaining Saturday weights in -

Don't worry if you get dropped - all you need to do is ask, and you're right back on! I know that life gets in the way sometimes...2 -
@gak71 I personally weigh once a week, but I still have almost 100 pounds left to lose. I imagine once I get closer to goal or definitely when I get to maintenance, I will weigh more frequently. I know my husband is doing the free trial of Noom right now and he is weighing daily... to me it just depends what motivates you. I personally really like the anticipation of the weekly weigh-in, but know that this will likely change as I get deeper into my journey.3

Thank you that makes me feel good. I am only 4’ 10”. So normal weight should be between 98 and 115. So I am happy not to be overweight for the first time in a few years. My goal is to be in the middle of normal around 108. That is where I have felt my best. Also trying to get my cholesterol levels down to normal! But happy dance today!

This week was rough. We had a stomach bug rip through our house. Yesterday was my 40th birthday. I wasn't feeling great so it was pretty low key. My husband did get me breakfast, dinner, and a cake.💕 I have definitely had a lot of carbs this week and not enough protein.

The Green Challenge 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!!

Happy birthday @KellyBgetsfit! Sucks for the stomach bug. 😔 Hard way to spend a milestone birthday. It can only get better from here!2

How often do you get on the scale? I may get on too often. Has anyone found weighing less often actually helped to lose weight or stay on track better?
I usually only get on the scale on weigh in day. Sometimes I may check a couple days prior just to see where I am. When I first started this journey, I weighed EVERY day just to keep me on track. Like @jugar said, you will see normal fluctuations in your weight. I found that for some reason Tuesdays were always my heaviest day. I imagine it could be a weekend catch up. I am always much more strict/disciplined at first which explains perfect logging, checking daily weight, staying under calories. After 2 1/2 years on the team, I am much more (a little too) relaxed. Once a week suits me fairly well most weeks. Find what works for you. If you want to get on and it helps you stay on track, do it. If you obsess about the scale, don't make that a huge part of your journey.2 -
@PlaneMonkey Wow!!! I love your progress photos. You have done an amazing job!! You should be so proud of yourself. You look fabulous. Well, done.
@KellyBgetsfit HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry you weren't feeling great, but you can celebrate all month.
This week was kind of a blah week. I didn't get my exercise like I wanted (I did do three days of short pilates - 11-13minutes each). My food was meh. Way too many mini donuts early in the week and one take out dinner that was nice, but doesn't feel good afterwards. My body has gotten use to. my OWN cooking. I don't think I hit my 9k goal one day this week. @gak71 You had. me beat by Friday this week.
This coming week is going to be busy. Dr. appts., workers on house, and a trip with my whole family to my son's house at the beach Friday - Monday. But, I need to reign myself in. Drink plenty of water, take walks and get those 9k steps. Friends on fitbit, look for a challenge invite. Let me know if you don't get it. If you are new and have a fitbit, let me know your email and I'll add you.
Don't forget to get those steps in. Looking for Friday and Saturday for @Steph1498, @YinxFed (whole week) and @mbakhtiaruz (Mon-Sat).
Make your day great!!4 -

Considering how bad this week has been, that's ok.
Husband and I had a tearful Feelings Talk early in the week, and then he was rejected from grad school again, and I got sent into WFH again because of how bad Covid is again.
So. What I'm saying is we ordered cake through Skip The Dishes on multiple nights and other snacks and I kind of... don't care. I still really want to lose 20 more pounds but I also really don't feel like I care about anything.
I've been trying to keep my spirits up but its such a struggle.6 -

@micki48 I overdid it this week so I’m taking today as a rest day. I’d like to average 8k per day but I think I may need a couple days per week to let my ankles, knees, and hips rest.2 -
Ohh @Terytha, hope things get better for you soon. Sending long distance hugs. (and wishing there was skip the dishes cake in my area!)
Covid has been such a hurdle3 -

Just wanting to share a small achievement, my partner and I decided to quit any sort of restaurant food (minus a couple exceptions) for the month of April to help with our wallets and waistlines. I can proudly say we made it through our first weekend (and almost at 7 days)! I found this cool app that records streaks for quitting stuff which is also pretty useful!

If I don’t have a loss next week, I may take another break. I don’t have the competitive spirit now. 🙄4 -
Greetings team!
We did pretty well this past week - came in #3 - but not as great as week 1. Let's not fall into a week 3 slump if possible - watch it on those cakes and follow @AshenMoon in cutting back on something that is not helping if you can. This wave, too, shall pass @Terytha - and giving up on your goals and great progress won't help it pass faster. Hang in there
I have been remiss in reminders - so here's a quick one for the remaining Sunday folks, and all the Monday people:
