    Weigh-In: Saturday (usually Friday night)

    PW: 150.4
    CW: 153

    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!

    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.

    @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.

    Thanks, Del

    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!

    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 :-)

    the beginning on F2F can certainly be confusing - it will all settle in now!

    Hi all. I'm coming in to say goodbye. The past 15 months in this group have been invaluable to me. Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement, laughs, recipes, pick me ups, and everything else. I wouldn't have made it this far without everyone here. I'm not stopping or anything, it's just time for a change. Goodbye, and good luck to everyone here.

    Hate to see you go, but wishing you all the best!!

    Steps - 6122.
    Calories - about 1535. I have got to write it down before I forget it every night.
    Exercise - none. Xmas gift shopping for big ticket item. 3 stores no luck but are getting close. Washed the car as well. That is always fun.

    10/31 15,455, 10/5 5,500 10/6 5,794 10/7 9,986

    Got my booster shot Friday and switched to Modena after first getting J & J. No side effects other than sore arm and tired. Saturday had a lazy day and yesterday got off my butt and painted the kids bathroom with my daughter and went shopping. Back to the chiropractor this am and if I feel better will start working out again soon

    Just visualize bikini and Florida anytime you are tempted to get off track.

    Nice steps! I am hoping to get some Christmas gifts in the upcoming Black Friday sales. They are not as good as in the States but last year I got some good deals.

    Weigh-in Day: Monday (Nov 8, 2021)
    PW: 212.9
    CW: 212.5
    SW: 240

    I was pretty good all week but we went to visit my in-laws house - he just had knee replacement a week ago and they were in the mood for Mexican food. Sigh ... so much salt (I guess tortilla chips are a trigger for me), but the meal was tasty. On an unrelated note, I upgraded my Fitbit Charge 2 for a Charge 5 about a week ago and it's nice to be able to see the screen again as the older model got much darker about a year ago (and yes I checked the settings to make sure I hadn't changed it to dim view). Anyway, I got a few years out of the Charge 2 so I feel like I got my money's worth. I know I will with this new one since it was free from work as part of the company benefits to promote healthy living.

    I am sure the salt is masking a bigger loss. That is great your company provides the Fitbit. More companies should do this.

    Steps ✅
    Calories ✅
    Close rings ✅

    Changed my goals up for this week. I added closing rings on my Apple Watch. I am still playing with the numbers for each ring but once I have it for a week I will get a general idea. Off to get ready for the pool.

    Have a great Monday!
