@murdog3t Enjoy your trip to San Diego and your nephew's graduation!
Tami's mention of the "group" got me thinking about who is still with us, in some capacity.
Here is the roster I came up with, listed alphabetically with our fearless leader at the top.

Not bad for a group challenge that is no longer a group challenge! Did I miss anyone?2 -
Come for the weight loss, stay for the comedy!!
I've been off my comedy game lately. I used to be able to make @Krysless2 spit her coffee out onto her monitor.
Those were the days. 4 -

Thanks Lisa! I've been considering @MamaSunflowers a member, even though she hasn't posted in a few weeks. I had some spare time today so I've been building a spreadsheet for April & May and trying to capture everyone's weigh-ins. Still getting caught up on that as work keeps getting in the way.

I've been poking around the other teams threads, The Slimsons are still pluggin along like us but it looks like many Belly Flats people switched to a group called Fat2Fit. I haven't checked that group out yet so no clue how they operate. I know I wouldn't want to join unless they'd let us all join en masse and be on the same team. Maybe start a new one? LOL I don't know how big their teams are but they have 5 of them. Any group that could have 5 teams could certainly have 6. 3

@DaffyGirl88 I am actually part of the Fat2Fit Challenge. They operate exactly the same as TBL. Let me ask my team captain some of these questions and get back to you.3 -
@therealbluenote Great day yesterday!
@Tomsgal1985 Today is a new day!
@DaffyGirl88 Enjoy your nachos and margaritas! I am sure the Mexican people will appreciate your support!
Thursday the 4th
Logged, under and did a couple of at home workouts for another challenge.
I was successful at the grocery store, for the most part. I walked right past the chocolate bars on sale.....yes!!! I did buy six items that were not on my list, however. Three were good: two frozen meals under 200 calories each and some lean peameal (Canadian) bacon. The three that are potentially not so good was three packages of pasta. We shall see if I can consume some pasta in moderation when the time comes!
Thanks so much! So sorry I have been MIA all week. Stubborn low mood 😩 I haven’t eaten well at all this week. Weigh in tomorrow morning won’t be pretty 😞
@HASWLRS Good job! I can’t seem to moderate pasta. I pray you do well with it 🙏🏻❤️2 -

Weigh in Week 2

No surprise there as I have been over more often than not this week. Been hungry all week. 😬
Well off to the daughters house 🏠 for the weekend so will be offline a lot. No signal in the Virginia mountains. If I don't make it back before then Happy Mother's Day to the moms out there. 💐2 -
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms 💕
I forgot to weigh before breakfast. May I roll over last week’s weight, please?
226.4
I’m so stuck again. Our 38th wedding anniversary is May 18 💕 Between Mother’s Day & a nice anniversary dinner, it will be a challenging week. Prayers appreciated!2 -

What happened to TBL?1 -
You guys, I weighed myself and I gained 10 pounds. WTH?!?!?’ In one week?2
-
@therealbluenote you did NOT gain 10 pounds! I am useless searching forums on my phone or I'd find a couple of links and post them for you. If you go to the general forums and search for AnnPT77 (or something similar 😂) you'll see she has explained that very well many times. I haven't figured out how to copy a link when on my phone or I'd find you one now.😕
As for TBL, we lost our moderator back in March. She had some things going on in real life, as happens, and was unable to continue keeping up the challenge. That's why there have been no results posted and why we're still posting in a March thread in mid May. 😁 So the team challenge part is technically over. I've still been coming here because I enjoy everyone's company. Y'all are great! On Thursday I was trying to get caught up on everyone's weigh in (I fell behind with work travel followed by vacation) so that I could at least post everyone's accomplishments here. Didn't finish though before heading to my daughter's for the weekend. 😕
That's it in a nutshell 🥜2 -
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Track: no
Under: no
Exercise: yes
Will start up again tomorrow.1 -
I am sorry I have been gone and let the group down. I am most better now but very tired. I keep sleeping a lot but it never feel like enough. I have had a hard time remembering all little things each day like what I do and don’t and need to. Lisa has been bringing me soups and calling to check in. I am sorry you can’t count on me. I have realized I am not ready for responsibility in challenges or for the littles and I to live alone. Lisa quitting her job at the end of month so she can move in when Jordan moves out. This way we can be better partners and she can be my caretaker without making her old clients get my germs and Maggie and me no more struggle with eachother.
I will have Jordan help to read all I missed when she wakes up. Hugs to all and sorry again I will stay around but can’t be relied on in team yet. I have try hard to control my depression and can’t have more problems from trying to be more than I am so I need quit team and just visit for now. It makes me sad but I have to as they say face the music.2 -

@JbeanR0212 Never apologize, you aren't letting anyone down. We are glad that you are getting the help that you need and that Jory and Lisa are able to help you. Tell them both hello from me. Never feel any pressure to do or be anything for us. Just be yourself and take care of yourself. We are here to support you not put any added pressure on you.

👨🎓 graduation was awesome. My nephew graduated from San Diego State University’s nursing program till take his NCLEX in a couple weeks. I am back home. I will start trying to catch up on old posts. Let me know if we decide to switch groups. Hope everyone’s doing well. Happy belated Mother’s Day God bless.3

@JbeanR0212 Big hugs! Please keep posting and sharing. I haven’t contributed to the team in months, but the friendship and encouragement are so important, and I’m so grateful for each one of you. I am thankful to have found this group and I’m praying for us all. Jenn, I’m so glad Lisa is going to be there for you! Please keep us posted. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷1

How fun! Congratulations to your nephew!! Nurses rock 🎓 🎉👏🏻1 -
@therealbluenote I’m not finding the specific post Sue mentioned, but I am seeing something similar & posters are saying to either get a new scale or allow for sodium to be flushed along with possible water weight if the scale was even accurate. They recommend increasing water intake & reducing sodium intake to see if that helps.
Also, someone mentioned that the time of the month could be a factor. Also, could your scale just need new batteries?
I’m in your corner! Hugs & prayers 🙏🏻🩷1 -

Typically there isn't that day that does by that someone doesn't post complaining about "doing everything right" and still gaining weight. There are several people, Ann being one of them, who very patiently respond to these posts over and over. It amazes me that they take the time, they must have the info written up and ready to go. 2 -
Hi TBBT. I'm glad to see several of you still here even though there isn't an official challenge going.
After many years of not keeping myself accountable, I am starting with a new program offered by my insurance. It is a Keto lifestyle that is monitored by a health coach and medical provider. They offer tons of information resources for grocery shopping and meal planning. I am really excited.
I am at my heaviest right now at 206. A part of that is I am eating up some extra sweets and carbs as I am purging them from the fridge and pantry. Anyway, I am super excited about starting this journey and I hope to be successful.
I have missed you all!3 -

Thanks for the encouragement. My time of the month set sail ten years ago! I went straight from Playtex to Poise! 😂😂😂2 -
@therealbluenote 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You and me both!
I wasn't looking for one specific post per se, but the topic comes up frequently and is always answered thoroughly by the same few regular posters. AnnTP77 does a great job. She details how everything from sodium, carbs, sleep, stress and "contents of your digestive system" can cause the scale to swing wildly from one day to the next. They all recommend using a weight trending app and looking at the trend line over time, not a specific day. I don't use that but I do change the view on my progress page periodically to see the trend. In your case your trend line would show a steady downward slope because you have done fantastic. 👍 The next time I see one of those discussions I will let you know. 😊3 -
