Hi all, my name is Amy and I’m the captain. I’ve really been struggling since covid but especially the last couple of months. I’ve gained a ton of weight and been pretty MIA from here. I am trying to get back on track and will try to be more active here (but if anyone else wants to be captain please let me know!)
One thing we’ve enjoyed on this team is optional daily challenges to help with accountability. Feel free to participate in any way!

Feelings okayish even though slightly up. Been exercising twice a week and trying to stay as close to the calories target as possible. Easter eggs didn't help weekend 🤭1 -
@lacatgirl, you’d posted in March about feeling like you’re at a plateau and not being sure how to break it.
•How long have you been plateaued? Weight loss will often stall and then do what some people call “whoosh”, so if it’s only been a couple weeks you may still get a “whoosh”, I believe a true plateau is after 1-2 months so you may just need to wait it out a bit if it hasn’t been too long.
•Have you been refreshing your calorie allotment on MFP as you lose weight? The system does do it automatically but I found it useful to do it myself every 10-15lbs lost.
•Have you tried changing your routine? Your body will adjust to the changes you’re making so sometimes you need to shake things up a bit. Raise or lower your calories by 250-500 for a week or two (raising can help if you’re following a very low calorie diet and exercising a lot), change the type or intensity of your exercise.
•Make sure you’re accurately measuring your food. This isn’t as important when you have a lot to lose but as you get closer to your goal it will be. Just think, if you need to eat about 1700 calories at 170 Lbs and you need to eat about 1500 calories to be 150 Lbs miscounting your calories by 100-200 calories can definitely affect your progress!
Hope some of that helps! Good luck getting over your plateau!

I wish I could say that I am surprised but I am not. looking back my salt intake was ridiculous last week and Sunday was a cheat day (BFF turned 45 we went out to celebrate) but I am back in the saddle, goal is still to be at 290 by April's end, here's to hoping that a good much of this is water weight or bloat...

Good morning, my name is Gustaaf, or Gus for short
Since COVID started all gyms here have been closed and have not re-opened at all, so i am really struggling to get my workouts in.
Last 2 months i have gained 4 kg again
Yesterday i looked in the mirror and was disgusted with myself.
Going to take drastic measures and decided to not have (unhealthy) snacks for a year
That means, no sweets, candy's, chocolate etc (except my protein bars)
I have done this before and lasted almost 10 months, so i know i can do this
My starting weight for this month is 104.5 kg
This was yesterday morning, and i like to consider this my "new" starting point
For workouts i am currently doing 50 squats a day (been doing this for almost 4 weeks now)
And doing a 30 day challenge, once i complete that challenge i do a new one
My current challenge, started yesterday, is Wall-Sit

Hi All,
Once again I am the same weight - down to the tenth of a pound! How is that even possible? I am really frustrated.
I am going to try intermittent fasting again. I did it a couple years ago and it worked really well. I think with planning It wont be too painful. Hopefully this will break the endless plateau!
I swear, sometimes I think that in a famine I would be the last person alive - my metabolism would slow down so much that I could live on a blade of grass per day!
Have a good day everyone!2 -

The past few days haven’t been the best diet wise so I’m hoping that this weeks gain is just some water weight!
My goal for the next month is to try to exercise daily. That was my goal last month, but due to my job I wasn’t able to. My schedule is a lot more open now though so hopefully I can succeed and make it a habit!1 -
