Apologies Ive been MIA! I've been still researching diet and it looks like I will be adapting to a ketogenic diet. There is a fat adaptation phase where you gain weight initially before you start losing weight. How long it takes for each individual person's body to start using fat as an energy source varies. I'm not sure how to proceed with the group during this transition. Please let me know what you think. TIA!
@BlissfulK I’m part of another accountability group called Just Give Me 10 Days (renews every 10). Many of the members there are Keto folks (not me) so you might find good support for your new diet there. But don’t leave us! They ask that you weigh in daily and add a diary comment. It’s not to create poor habits but to better understand how our choices (food, exercise, stress, hormones, inflammation etc..) affect our weight fluctuations. Wishing you all the best in this journey.
@JbeanR0212 and @BlissfulK I've belonged to that challenge. It's not something that I want to do on a permanent basis but I tend to pop in for a round two weeks before vacation or a special event when I need a little boost. They're about to start the next round on Sunday if anyone is interested. Hrm...maybe it would help me lose my Seattle weight...🤔

MUAC Daily Post: Friday (6/24)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - Over (by 80) - Not gonna sweat it
Exercise: Yes (14 min. Dancing + strength training + 1hr. Hatha Yoga + 30 min. Rowing)
Goals/Day/Comments: 💧160 oz. (over), 👟 8,589, ⛑ +21 (280). Put in 13hrs. at work but took intermittent breaks to exercise and made sure to make up for it before bed. Will be driving much of today so I’ll use it as an R&R. Been challenged by an accountability friend to burn major calories over the weekend so I need it.

@DaffyGirl88 I thought I had seen you and a couple of others over there. Wasn’t sure how I felt about the daily weigh in at first but I’m a fan now. Just can’t take every little up tick to heart but rather think about what your body is telling you. For example, my weight jumped up by .4 this morning but after all the work yesterday and the heavy food in my gut I expected it.
It filled my bucket to read your words to @BlissfulK. While I am trying to loose quite a bit, I agree with your sentiments. We are all on this journey together no matter the current place and “there is no I in team”. I’m also happy to see that you’ve stuck around not because you’ve missed some mark but out of passion. I’m a big fan! Thank you for speaking your truth.1 -

While scale doesnt show, the mindset has shifted a bit... going back to more consistant exercise and hoping my knee agrees with the decision. That was a big factor in the first 23 lost (was 30 but 7 crawled back) also have to get used to kiddos home from college and the mom need to eat with them. When reflecting, Realized my fasting and OMAD kind of fell off. Hoping for a new trend next week on a trail back down.2 -

@sandkp so glad you are still with us. 🥰 Having the kids home from school can be a big adjustment, I remember. Even the cashier at the grocery store would notice the difference in my cart. 😂1 -

Major NSV tonight. I had a $@$& 🤬 day at work today but rather than drowning my sorrows in vodka 🍸 and chocolate 🍫 I went for a 10 mile bike ride.🚴♀️. I'm still having a drink and my daily 5 kisses but they are well so within my calorie allowance. 😁3

@ajdvegan - I haven’t heard that song but added to the list. It’s funny but in a good way I feel super competitive with you. Great motivation to push me teammate. I keep telling myself this week I’m gonna shed more and then I see you go & think…. You can do more Jenn. You’ve got this try harder 😂. Maybe I’ll beat you but even if I don’t watching your progress is creating a better me and I’m okay with that
Yes! That is awesome! That's what I love about these groups - support mix with cheeky competition! I have a feeling you'll beat me this week though, but I'm trying not to make it too easy for you 😂
You have inspired me to start dancing more during my days - I am terrible and have no rhythm, but my baby doesn't seem to judge me too harshly2 -
@ajdvegan dancing with a baby is the best kind. 🥰2

That is the next thing I want to do, buy a bike and start riding outside since I can no longer run 😁1 -

Swimming laps is so hard! All these muscles are engaged and I have to add additional steps to get there(drive to the Y, swim suit goggles, towel, shower after) I know that these aren’t huge things but when given a time budget to get it done in before work.. it’s harder to mentally get there and then make it a habit. And then there’s the results of my efforts.. total body exhaustion!
I have to figure this out because their pool is one of the major reason I am paying so much more for a gym membership now.

@Krysless2 sending you virtual hugs my friend. I know many are fans of the workouts to start your day but I’m not. I too struggle with the before work motivation most days. When I do I find myself a little foggy and moody. Usually I’m taking movement breaks throughout the work day. I control my own schedule though. My main exercises are saved for end of the day. I’m loaded up with cals for energy, driven to burn any excess & have discovered my sleep quality is superior when I get exhausted and shower before hitting the sheets. Best of luck getting back in the groove.1 - Tracked / Under / Exercise?

MUAC Daily Post: Saturday (6/25)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - Under (by 6)
Exercise: Yes (30 min. moderate rowing)
Goals/Day/Comments: 💧160 oz. (over) 👟 5,504 ⛑ +14 (252). Oh it was a long day (over 16hrs in & out of the car)! So much for the promise to myself for an R&R. Worked out before bed but only because I refused to be over again. Have pledged myself for an intense calorie burn challenge this weekend & expect to see weight rise as a result. 🤞Hopefully the drop comes before weigh in.

@JbeanR0212 if you only knew who you were talking to 😂 a smart phone is only as smart as the person using it. 😁 One day I was trying to use a coupon on my phone and it wouldn't scan. The cashier asked me to make it brighter. 😶 I just started at her. 😂. There'll be no downloading of apps here.1 -

I'm not sure how to proceed with the group during this transition. Please let me know what you think. TIA!
@BlissfulK First let me say that I am not the be all and end all of decision making here. The only thing that comes from me being team captain is that I have edit privileges on the master spreadsheet. I will however give you my opinion. 
IMO you are more than welcome to remain in the group, the more the merrier I always say. We are just a group of strangers on the interweb relying on the honor system for people posting their weekly weigh-in. There are no actual prizes awarded or ribbons to be won. I care not whether anyone in the group gains, loses or maintains during the month, other than a sincere wish to help everyone reach their own personal goals. I am just here to cheer on your successes, empathize with your struggles, offer suggestions when asked, and/or vent about spouses / kids / jobs / life in general. I stay in the group even when I'm not actively trying to lose, or taking a pause from dieting, because I enjoy the camaraderie. Seeing you all posting about your struggles or successes reminds me that I'm not alone in this fight and keeps me focused. I enjoy the friends that I've made here, look forward to meeting new ones and miss those that have come and gone.
The challenge rules say that if you do not post a weigh-in 2 weeks in a row you will be removed, so you would need to weigh-in this week in order to stay. It's totally up to you if you want to do that or leave the group until you figure out your plan / path forward. If you leave you can rejoin again at the beginning of any month (not during the middle). All you have to do to come back to us is request to be put back on TBBT.
Hope that helps.
This did help, thank you! I honestly was thinking of rejoining in August. I didn’t want to bring the team down if I gained weight. I was thinking if I stay, it should motivate me to exercise as much as possible to limit weight gain during the transition. I will be significantly upping the fats in my diet for the month of July and hoping my body changes energy source sooner by doing this. I also found another method to update exercise on MFP app with Strava. The less you have to manually enter things on MFP, it really helps with consistency with busy schedules.
That being said. I’m nervous for tomorrows weigh-in! I have been gradually upping the fats this month. Exercise has been limited due to researching lifestyle transition and researching Apple Watch app glitch. Hopefully it’s weight loss and maintenance from tomorrows weigh in 2 -

@susanshaughnessy80 you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’ll add in the hope that you put a greater value on yourself, there is no need to apologize. It’s beyond impressive you are sticking with the group with everything going on. 🙏
@DaffyGirl88 fantastic burn!!!!! I think all your emojis distracted me 😬. I’ll refrain but chocolate & a martini sound incredible right now.
@BlissfulK yay!!!!!! 🤗 I might hit you up about Strava & see how it works for you because now matter what I do my Apple Health hasn’t even come close to importing correctly since the update.
💃🏻 I’m slacking. Can all 3 of you hit me with a song?0 -
