Ooof! I knew it was coming, but it still wasn't fun to see.
I ate more quantity and less quality while I was sick, so I'm not surprised. I also started my cycle which doesn't help.
I'm trying to frame this as good - I didn't log and knew I was over so at least that's still working.
I'm feeling better and hope to be back to losing next week. Sorry team!3 -

Welcome back from holidays. I hope you had a great birthday in Rome.
@red1185
You are getting close to goal. I think you are definitely right that the changes we make have to be sustainable. Good luck with the November challenge.
@MariEverAfter
Awesome loss!
@888Angie888
Now those are some Angie steps! Fantastic!
@rwood566
I think it is pretty safe to say it is the salt with eating out.
@Pippin20206
Great first day back from your mini break!
@Aqualang26
You have great insight to what factors caused your gain. That’s very important. Never apologize for a gain. We are here to get through the good or bad weeks.5 -

Did both a swim and workout yesterday. Will be doing a short one today as my granddaughters slept over and I want to spend some time with them before they go home. I am still trying to figure my Apple Watch out. It seems like I get less calories for exercise which will be an adjustment as lately I have been eating them. I still haven’t figured out the how to get my steps to sync with mfp.
Happy Sunday.2 -

This week has been staying on track. Don't know if it was the trip back home, the weather or the time change but determined to get my *kitten* back on track2

@minstrelofsarcasm can you double check the figures please?
I put on 100g this week and going through some of the posts I know @MJ_Keto, @MariEverAfter , @Bluetail6 , @rlaskey2 and @rwood566 all lost weight (sorry if I missed anyone else). I don't think I should be in 3rd place.

Took some time off to farewell my last grandparent. He lived a good life and had 24 great-grandchildren at the time of his passing.
RIP Pop8 -

Hi Del!
I'm the person who figures out the tallies every week, so I'll tell you how it worked this time. By the weight reported on your weigh-in day, you lost 3.6 pounds for the week. You were in 3rd place by % of bodyweight lost. There were certainly other people who lost as well - your team is great! We always do the places by % of bodyweight because it is more fair. If someone who weighs 150 pounds loses 3 pounds it is a higher percentage than someone who weighs 200 pounds - it helps to even the playing field as to the effort required to lose that much weight. So you will see the amazing @Poobah1972 who lost 3.9 pounds, but since that was 1.1% compared to your 1.51%, you hopped up to 3rd place!
Does that clear up the question? The main difference seems to be that you say you lost only 100 g, but your reported weight on weigh-in day was for a lot more than that. Don't forget that this is for last week - in your case from Thursday October 28 - Thursday November 4. We do the tallies on Sunday for the previous Sunday - Saturday.
In any case, great job! Let me know if it is still unclear or there is a mistake. Thanks!2 -
PS - if you're curious!
Anyone can check out the spreadsheet to get the whole view! The teams are on tabs at the bottom, and the Week 1 results are all summarized on their own tab. Enjoy it if you love the numbers as much as I do!

@jugar Ah, okay so 107.1kg for me was on the 21st Oct when i asked to join the team. By the time Thurs 28th Oct came around I was 105.4kg which I had in my head as my official starting weight but that's incorrect if you're taking it from the previous Sunday so yay me!!
Thanks for the clarification :-)3
