Since becoming a motivator I've learned there's quite a a bit that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to tracking weights
In my opinion there's a couple of options when your traveling or scale has broke or he k even if you just don't want to step on the scale "tomorrow".
Option one is to use your previous weight as your current weight.
Option two weigh before you leave and just say it. I won't have a scale so here it is now.
I know I said a couple of options but there is a third.
Option three go to a store that sells old style manual scales. Thanks it off the shelf. Weigh yourself. Put it back on the shelf. Probably not the most popular or accurate option but still it's an option.
And a 4th! Ask for a week off in advance. The Captains then just enter your weight from the previous week and mark it EXCused. Or 2 weeks. If it is going to be a whole month, you can ask to take a temporary placement in the Support Team and then come back to the regular team when you are ready. We love options. AND, of course, you can just be late or early - as long as something is in there by the end of Saturday every week.
Have a 5th option…if you’re a member of a gym you can use theirs as they more than likely have a scale.2 -

WEIGH IN UPDATE
WEIGH-INS DUE NOW: @megnolia82 @littlebabekitty
Reminder for tomorrow's weigh-in to the following: @AmbersWay @Jactop @reshii_devi @bark2j5 @Artemis_20242 -
@veta2018 huge congratulations to you!!
@katmary71 I have noticed different posts of yours over time. It sounds like you have a close and supportive family♥️. I'm sorry you are losing the news feed, I haven't ever used it but I know what that is like to lose a vital part of an app that you use all the time. Ugh!! Your roommate sounds like a pain in the.....neck! Roommates can be such a headache
@Ambersway do your kids really do the laundry, I obviously did something wrong with mine🤣.
@Teresa2024 you are having some stressful things going on!! Those families, then the church bank account getting hacked and more. Hope you are holding up ok. I am the same with low carb, high protein, that's what works. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. That puzzle is beautiful!!! I can't even do 5 hours without eating I can't imagine 20, yay you!!
@Vegan4lyfe2012 another grand baby?! Wow!! Speaking of wow, what are WOW drops, I have never heard of that.
@trooworld. I am so sorry that you are struggling right now, big hug for you♥️. Most importantly, do what ever you need to do to take care of yourself.
We are all so different. I think that getting to a point in life where we know ourselves well enough, claiming it and doing what works for us, that is key. It doesn't matter what works for or other people believe, they aren't you, do you do you ♥️♥️.
Ok I'm all caught up, I know I missed a lot, I'm trying to be super fast while my pups are napping (I am worse than when my kids were little 🤣).
It was a super busy week, I was way off track. Last night my family got together to watch a hockey game (my team is in the play offs), I had a hard lemonade, pizza and chips. I was fully prepared to have a large gain this morning, boy was I shocked! Now on to this week, secret goal is to be on point so week. Realistic goal I am tracking everything TODAY and will get in my steps.
Pups are starting to stir so I apologize, no time to proofread.
I was playing fetch with my puppers and we are practicing patience, they were gave to be still and wait in this pic. I will be better about checking in this week:)

SW (Starting weight): 180 lbs
PW (Previous Weight): 125 lbs.
CW (Current Weight): 125 lbs.
Maintenance Goal 123- 127(center weight 125) I'm still not sure at this time. I would be ok if I lost a few more pounds but feel good where I'm at too. I would like to build a little more muscle. Try to tighten everything so it's a little less flabby. I don't have any full length mirrors in my house home so I mostly only notice what I look down and see.
My garden is coming along nicely. I had some garden fresh strawberries in my oatmeal this morning.
I miss my little grandson. His mom has many excuses why we can't go see him. Too many people been visiting, she's not feeling well, he's feeding, sleeping, they've been out all day or just don't answer my calls.
I had my hair highlighted and trimmed today.
Also did some very needed grocery shopping. It rained most of today. We plan to grill with our boys tomorrow. I've been doing a lot of tree jobs with my husband too. I got a great tan and a lot if cuts and bruises to go with it. I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

@laurelfit57 ahaha they’ll wash it, maybe dry it but the folding is a never ending battle. They’ll toss it on a chair in their room and live off the chair. Better yet, it finds it way to my room and my couch. 🤪
@trooworld I am here to cheer you on, whatever your choice. 🥰
@Veta2018 you’re doing great! Enjoy your bbq. I hope you get to see your grandbaby soon.
@txcritter69 you had an amazing loss this week. Way to go!
@TeresaW2024 congratulations on the 74th year anniversary. That’s amazing.
Well 2nd day of exams down. It’s my youngest birthday week and the teen years are flying by. These kids are making it impossible for me to stick to my only admitting to 18 years. 😂
Today has started off great. High protein breakfast. Trying to get water in too. Steps must be accomplished though.
Have a great day!2 -

Had a busy and intense emotional week ending with two well deserved back-to-back low movement days this weekend ~ I have however, organized all cabinets, clothes and closets in the morning and then spent most of the afternoon in a lawn chair watching the birds and squirrels watch me napping, lol
Heading to BIG BBQ today so will definitely be eating lots of things I don't normally have, but will keep it within a 1800-2000 calorie window. 5K walk and swim before leaving, starting New Diet and Exercise Plan tomorrow. Have a great day all! 4 -
Good morning Slims,
It's a rainy day here. Not ideal for Memorial Day. Rich is working today (no holidays for retail!), so I've got the day to myself (WooHOO!). I'm cooking a pork loin and sweet potatoes to put up in the freezer for workday lunch meals. I'll take a walk after, if it's not pouring. Probably no bicycling today.
@Veta2018 - sorry that you're not getting more time with your grandson. Hugs!

@laruelfit57 I used to think that way, too, about IF, but it really does get easier if you do it right. They call it working your fasting muscle and pushing past the hunger, which is only temporary most of the time. That is a great pic of your pups! I love them! 
@AmbersWay Those teen years fly by, don’t they? My husband’s grandson just graduated high school. We couldn’t go to Ohio but were able to watch it livestream. I remember when he was just a little boy when I met him, and now he is off to live his dreams. Enjoy the birthday and time with your teens.
@reshii_devi, I'm Sorry your week has been so emotional. Yay for getting all that organizing down. I am sure you feel very accomplished. Have fun at the BBQ, and we look forward to hearing about your new diet and exercise plan.
@micarro4 We have rain today, too. Have a day to yourself is great! My husband was retired when I met him, but would always run errands and sometimes be gone for a few hours, which gave me some me time. These days, with his dementia, I’m happy with an hour or two nap that he takes. Enjoy your time!
Good morning! Ugh, it’s storming today, which is messing up my plan to grocery shop. I will probably go tomorrow and make Joe a frozen pizza for dinner. I also need to go pick up more pain meds for Maggie. Her luxating patella (the knee cap coming out of its socket) is getting worse. I started her on some highly-rated joint chews, hoping it will help. It’s sad to watch her hike up that back leg and hobble around and even when she does walk on it, she has a limp. I’ve done a lot of reading on surgery, and that has a host of issues if we do go that route. Including a very intensive recovery that will require diligent care. There are four stages of luxating patella, and I think she is in stage two. I’m going to schedule a time to have her teeth cleaned, and when I see the vet, we will talk more about her little knee. My poor baby!!
My fasting is going well, and I think I will have a nice loss this week. Just have to behave today!

@trooworld sounds like you had a great day yesterday! I always have to make things bigger on my phone when reading with my contacts in. When I was reading your post I was moving the screen back forth and this is what I read "we sat on our walkway for a little while and smoked." I thought "hmmmmm watchable smokin" I had to go back and read it again🤣
Good morning all, it's a new week!! I tracked everything yesterday and got my steps in. Same goal for today, but also a work out at the gym where I am currently waiting in line for my spin class. Goal for the week is 3 classes at the gym. It is supposed to be nice today so I am going to try to get the dogs out for a good walk, then we have Ty's obedience class this afternoon.
Hope everyone has a great day!3 -

Hi everyone! I need my regular scheduled pity party vent post then I’ll get over myself and get back on track. Feel free to skip the whole thing!
My gala event is this Friday. My clothes all look horrible. Simply horrible. There’s nothing I can do but dress as an eccentric, fat middle-aged lady and drink enough to play the part. I’m super disappointed in myself because I was working so hard and I eased up the past couple weeks and it just wasn’t good enough. I was always a solid, athletic girl but I could go out to bars and put on a great bra and a tube top and some tight jeans and … wow! No shortage of dance partners. These days I can’t even find a bra that makes me feel human let alone brings all the boys to the yard
It sucks to feel like I’ve done well and see myself in the mirror or a picture and realize I’m still just so much bigger than I thought. I’m also angry because we don’t have a shoe store in town so I went to the 3 places that sell
Shoes ready to sacrifice my comfort for a pair of pretty heels and there was literally nothing. It’s all round toe flats and huge wedge sandals. I just want a stupid, cheap little heel so I look like I made the slightest effort. I just have to throw in the towel and give up. I’m almost ready to cancel on this event I’ve been looking forward to since December because I feel so self-conscious and ridiculous.
Sigh.
Told you I needed a pity party. Time to grow up and get back at it. Thanks for the space.

@AmbersWay Glad the exams are almost done! Sounds like you got some good exercising despite the steps. Started the day off strong!
@trooworld Yep the different screen names is what confuses me. Sounds like a deep but meaningful musical. OMG good Chinese food is the best, yum! Those turkey burgers sound amazing where did you get them? Yay for the tomatoes woohoo!
@19shmoo69 Good tips on weighing from you and the others!
@TeresaW2024 Thanks! Wow congratulations on 74 years that's amazing! You're rocking the fasting! I love that puzzle how cool! Glad you're doing so well with fasting that's awesome! Poor Maggie I'm sorry to hear she's struggling.
@AyaTheTyga Just subscribed to your channel, will check it out. Let us know how the dietitian appointment goes!
@Laurelfit57 Thanks my family is supportive. Sounds like you had a fun time with the family, those two pups are the cutest! You got this great job getting the class in and tracking!
@laurelfit57 @Jactop @Digger61 Great job top leaders! And half the team in the green too!
@Veta2018 Those strawberries sure sound yummy! I hope you get some time with your grandson soon. I'd imagine the tree jobs are great exercise!
@reshii_devi Enjoy the large BBQ, the time napping on the lawn chair sounds like heaven! You'll have to fill us in on your new program.
@micaroo4 Dinner sounds delicious, what lousy timing for the rain!
@megnolia82 Hugs I'm so sorry you're not where you want to be for the gala. I hope you're able to find shoes and put aside the self-consciousness and enjoy yourself.
Hi team! I was going to boycott MFP for the feed but I didn't have time to reply in group last night and didn't want to miss two days. I got my tomatoes situated and watered the seedlings and thinned them at the greenhouse. I met with the nutritionist I see so we could make some rough plans going forward, she would like to keep getting my help with office and with her patients. We'll see what happens this week. I don't trust the clinic owner to reimburse me if I have a bunch of credit so I need to start purchasing things to use it up. Have a great Tuesday team.3 -

@trooworld HaHa, if you think that puzzle was a PITA, wait until you see what I’m doing now. I’ll post a pick IF I ever finish it.
Your jalapeno burgers sound wonderful! It is great that your tomato plant is doing what it should.
@megnolia82 Oh, please don’t cancel the gala event and not go! I know you feel terrible about your appearance and that the clothes you wanted aren’t fitting. Believe me, I get it!! A few months ago, I went to a birthday party for my former pastor, and the place was filled with old friends I hadn’t seen in months and some years. I was so disgusted by my obvious weight gain, but not one person treated me like I was treating myself. They all rushed to hug me, and we laughed, talked, and had a great time. So, girl, let your attitude shine!!! I can tell from your post that you have a great personality and just need to get out of your way and enjoy the event. Wear something comfortable, be eccentric, and own it! No one is going to judge you, so stop judging yourself. This message is for me as much as you. This Sunday, our church is having a huge homecoming service and potluck, and once again, I’m dreading what I can find to fit me. But I won’t let it show! They will all see the confident, funny me they all know and love. And yay for making it through the evening without eating. It will get easier!
@Katmary71 That is a good idea to get what you are owed now since you don’t know what is going to happen with the clinic. How is the roommate doing? I hate thinking of you being taken advantage of!
Good morning! I'm so super happy that I lost a solid 2 lbs this week. It just proves what a little denial can do for you. Today, I’m busy going to the office, the vet, and then to Walmart. I plan to stay fasted until after I get home. I'm striving for 20 hours today and then having a small pizza with Joe for dinner. I was beating myself up for gaining all the weight back, but I have to stop and forgive myself because self-loathing isn’t helping me. Maybe I had to gain the weight back so that once I get it all off again, I will NEVER let this happen again. Yesterday, I listened to a fasting podcast by Gin Stephens, and it was motivating. I plan to do that during Joe’s nap and my puzzle time for inspiration. Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I'm Lisa aka lislisa123 on here. I'm from Florida, I'm 39 years old and I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Weight loss has always been challenging for me as someone who is addicted to food. I'm an emotional eater too. I've tried pretty much everything diet-wise or over-the-counter pills/liquids. I now know the best and only truly successful remedy for losing weight is the old, eat healthier/less, and exercise routine, lol.
I had a bit of a rough patch in the losing weight department a couple of weeks ago ( those lovely plateaus) but I'm starting to find my groove again. I walk about 3 miles every other day and sometimes I use YouTube workout videos for exercise. I'm in a few challenges on Myfitnesspal already but I wanted to join this one for a while, it seems fun. I will be joining your group for the June Challenge.
My highest weight: 373lbs
My current weight: 329.8lbs
My short-term goal: 300/285lbs
My long-term goal: 220lbs
