I am absolutely gutted.
I have such a massive weight gain that I could cry. I really can't believe that it is so massive 🤦😢
I did have 2 drinking sessions. Twice we went out with my friend for her leaving party and I also bought new bathroom scales. It showed 7lbs gain 😢 I am now weighing at 241lbs 😱🫣😢
I just can't believe. I have never been this weight.
@jugar can I please go to team support for the rest of the month? I don't want to record this weight as I will let the team down in our team standing 😢 I just can't believe this 😢😢😢
I am so embarrassed but I took the photo of the scales and this surely will be my starting point 😕5 -

Snowshoed on Sunday and curled on Friday. Missed a couple Peloton workouts earlier in the week and then could just not convince myself to get on there. Something to build on for the week ahead.1 -
Greetings Team,
I am seeing some very impressive steps and activities being recorded. Well done Team!
@strong_fit_ells please don't worry about your gained weight - it happens regularly. I will admit to sometimes being reluctant to record my own gains, but I realise that I need the accountability - good or bad.
And for the past month I have also seen a regular, albeit small, increase on the scales.
Stay strong - we've got you!
Yx

Watching your Packers girl and I think I can hear you cheering all the way in Canada.
WOW!
Bummed my Bills got bumped because the game time is now in the middle of my work day. Going to try to get home without anyone spoiling the score for me.. we'll see!
NEWS FLASH - Brad and I got on the Peloton today. It had been 10 days - wow.. how do 10 days go by? Didn't feel that long. It was a great session - 45 minutes on the bike, a 10 minute upper body strength session, and a 5 minute stretch. I'm smiling.4 -
Hey @YinxFed .. thanks for the step counts.
Your 9th and 10th strength was missing a time - I estimated 30 minutes each for now but if you have an updated length for me before the report, let me know. Thanks!1 -
Sunday: 10,689 + 61 min @ 4.1 mph walk
Monday: 10,123
Tuesday: 7,881
Wednesday: 10,264 + 60 min body pump class
Thursday: 8,277
Friday: 10,019
Saturday: 7,199 + 60 min body pump class
A lot more steps this week due to the group step challenge! Will be a lot less next week because of after work meetings.2 -

Hi Ashley,
The missing times are 37 and 43 minutes respectively.
Thank you.2 -
OK. Take a deep breath - and let's look at this. First of all, partytime - that can cause a big increase really fast, but it usually goes away fast too. Second of all, new scale! That might not be a gain at all. The difference between scales can be horrible - if you still have your old one, check it on there too, and I can adjust the previous measurements so that the difference between the 2 scales disappears on the spreadsheet. If the new scale is +5 of the old one, for example, I'll just increase the first 2 January weigh-ins by 5 pounds.strong_fit_ells wrote: »I am absolutely gutted.

But mostly, hang in there. The effect of your gain on the team is no worse than some of the big ones that happened in December and happen at different times when people have been on vacation, going through stress, partying, or whatever. You'll get going again. And it is important to keep with your January goals. You have a good set of daily goals, and if you add even one more day per week of succeeding at them, you'll see a difference. 100% every day is probably never going to happen for anyone, so don't worry about it. Just get a little bit better.
So let me know if you still have your old scale and can compare them. If not, we can take a guess and assume that the new scale is reading higher than the old one.
Second - weigh in late this week. Give yourself a few really good days and weigh in on another day. Then you can get back onto Mondays next week. Or switch to a new day and see how that goes.
Third - give yourself a big hug. You are so much more than just that number! Come on in and tell us all the things any time. We love it. Keep working on the habit tracking, and in a couple of days you'll be feeling yourself again.
