CW: 162.8
Wow, great job in April team! Proud of you all.
I'm basically maintaining at 163 but I've been extremely slack about logging and have been eating at maintenance during weekends as a sort of break. I'm really struggling with burnout and depression lately.

Hello everyone!
My name is Yinka and I'm from Worcestershire, UK. I am married and we have an adult son who lives in Virginia, USA with his wife. We also have an aging, cantankerous little dog called Edie. I work from home teaching English to corporate teams.
I have been with MFP since 2014 and other than an initial surge of weight loss which saw me lose about a stone, nothing much has changed. And I have so much more to lose! I seem to have lost my mojo - I know what I should be doing, but somehow, I don't do it! I've been with Team Waistaways for about 18 months, and I can honestly say that this is a great team, full of supportive individuals.
I work out 5 or 6 times every week, and I am training for a 25 kilometre trek in September (over 19 of London's bridges), so I also go out on timed walks two or three times a week. At the moment I am doing Caroline Girvan's free Epic 1 programme on YouTube. I have also added in SELF's Spring Reset Challenge to throw in a little more low impact cardio.
I am optimistic that I will find a lightbulb moment to re-start my weight loss.
I am delighted to welcome our new team members.

My name is Matt and I live in Fort Wayne Indiana, @gak71 and I were in another group that started in January and was a 3-month challenge, the group has kind of died out & I saw him post about this group and decided to join. I am divorced and have an 18-year-old and soon-to-be 16-year old that stay with me every other week. Both very active in sports, this time of year is softball and baseball. So that means 5- 6 days of games every week right now. 4-5 days at night after school then Saturday morning early & early afternoon games. So meal planning becomes a challenge for me or if I am having a bad week hit the concession stands that always have healthy food choices.... not. Add to it, I have an hour commute to work each way. So now that I have my normal excuses/crutches out of the way; I am trying to stay physically active and when I have the time and energy on Sundays plan meals and prepare daily snacks for the week.
Good to “see” you again @ob1msu, you’ll definitely enjoy this group.
My youngest turned 16 in February and his driving has helped my weight loss tremendously! Between school, school baseball, and travel baseball, I found it very difficult to stay on track with so many practices and so much time spent in the car! It’s nice getting some of those hours back especially when you can spend them on your own well being!3 -
Happy May! 🌸🌼🌷
My name is Kristi, I'm 38 and I live in Washington state in the US. I'm married and have 3 kids (11, 10 and 6). I work part-time as a therapist at a special ed preschool. I have been with this group for 17 months. I have been working on weight loss for over 2 years now with a top weight of 255 lbs. I had lost 40 lbs but got stuck. I have been experimenting and took a 2 month diet break. I'm down about 30 lbs now and spent the last month getting back on track. My exercise has moved in the right direction and I am building up to my pre break work out pace. I'm still having inconsistent calorie days and incomplete logging days. This month I would like to get those issues fine tuned and start dropping pounds. My weight fluctuated a lot last month, like 7 lbs from high to low. I definitely don't want to see it do that this month!4 -
This seems to be Sorry Sunday for me! Really, it is I Miss Michele Sunday! It has been rough keeping up with the step and exercise stats while @micki48 is dealing with a family illness and grandchild care as only she can do. We all hope that your son is doing better, Michele
So, I am sorry not to have kept up very well with the step and exercise stuff. The one thing I can do is tell you about April Week 4
The three amazing movers and steppers for Week 4 are -
@KellyBgetsfit with 89,247
@YinxFed with 61,380
@gak71 with 47,220
Well done!! Your commitment is fabulous.
For the new folks among us - if you like to track steps and/or exercise, we have a sub-team for that! Post your daily step goal if you have one, and let us know if you want to be part of this. I'm back in the game this month, so watch out! All you do is post you steps for the day and if you also do other intentional exercise, post the number of minutes of exactly what kind of exercise. We then convert that into an equivalent number of steps so that everything compares. Here is the chart I roughly draw on - some of the equivalents are a bit high, I find, but it gives a generally good idea of how it works -
https://www.arhs-nc.org/live-healthy/data/StepConversionChart.pdf
Be sure to include the intensity for things like bicycling or running (speed is the easiest) but post the number of minutes, not the total distance. Everything like Pilates, weight training, etc. just the minutes is fine. Let's get this back on track! I promise to be more vigilant until Michele can get back at it

Great job on the green guys!
You don't need to apologise @jugar, you do so much
I'm worn out. We did a 9.3 mile walk this morning (longer than I'd planned) and didn't really stop other than to eat a pain au chocolat each when we bought a drink 6 miles in. If I'd realised how far we'd be going, I would've taken a drink from home! I ended up having a 3 hour nap this afternoon because I needed it.
Yesterday we got the tree and pot for the front garden which is looking great. We are still topping up the slate as we go, and I hope to finish that this week. Then we need to tackle the weeds on the drive which is probably going to be near impossible; I don't know if everybody else gets dandylions, but the roots go very deep and are extremely strong. After that, we're going to drop a tonne or two of limestone chippings on it.
The weather forecast for this week is rainy, so we should be able to pick up some of the tasks in the house and not feel like we'd rather be in the garden. I've not started on the garage yet; I need OH to help me as I'm expecting there to be spiders when we move the existing shelving to put the new section in. Plus, you know what? He's the one who did a rubbish job of putting a dust sheet up and got everything dusty so he can bloomin' well help clean it.
Eating is going well, hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow 6 -

Happy May everyone! My name is Stephanie, I am married with 3 kids and live in Luxembourg. This month I’m working to sleep 7 hours each night and keep my carbs less than 100g daily. I haven’t been able to stay consistent for the past few months so I want to change that.
I like to run, hike and bike. This month I might finally get to play tennis! Fingers crossed.5
