Loss 1.2
I’ll take it given all the traveling and eating out and lack of exercise this week!
Nice loss! Sometimes the scale will surprise us even though we are not on plan.1 -

PW: 323
CW: 321 (was down to 319 a few days ago)
Had a 3-month followup dr appt for my blood pressure this week - my doctor said she was proud of me. BP is stable, down 11 lbs (by their scale) since December, and my knees are feeling a bit better as a result.
I've done better with intentional activity and logging food this round. I am still pinning down specific April goals today, but definitely plan to participate more here in our group.1 -
Hi All,
Hope you're all well, just caught up on a few pages I've missed.
Thanks @peng123 - After this month, I'm thinking of taking a break from using prep service during the week and doing meal prepping on a Sunday even if it's just lunches and then freestyle within calories for breakfasts and dinners. Got 8 meal prep containers BPA Free for £6 which is cheap. Would of liked glass, but it's a decent start.
Within past few weeks it's become apparent that previous habits are creeping back in and falling off with the meal prep here and there through the week. I think it's partially down to the fact been eating pretty much the same things during the week for the last 4 months so it's lost a bit of it's shine, but I still do like certain elements of it so I'm torn. The options are 5 or 7 days, or 4 weeks of 5 or 7 days so can't really reduce unless go to 10 meal pack which is technically 5 days anyway.
Sadly this week will be a gain, but I know I'll get back on track eventually. If moving back to doing meal prep on my own next month, it makes me curious if I'll still be able to have consistent losses.
I'm not sure about weighing in for the time being, it doesn't feel fair on the team to bring gains from my not great choices and effect the team rankings.1 -

Will you be weighing in while you are on your vacation? Enjoy!Hi All,

Please keep weighing in. We are here for the good, the bad and the down right ugly. I was considering not weighing in for April but I know it would be easy for me to totally give up. I am sure the rest of the team would agree we are here to support each other no matter what the scale shows. I gained the last 2 weeks and I think the team had my back just as we will have yours. Work on getting on track as you do more meal prep but keep weighing and checking in.aneedlecraft wrote: »late Friday check-in

Nice loss but even nicer is that doctors check up. I can’t wait to here your April goals.1 -
