    Can I be bummed that my loss wasn't as big as last week? Haha, I know a lot of what I was losing at first was water weight so I shouldn't expect big numbers every week. And I know that my weight loss will slow down over time, but damn I was really enjoying the big numbers! Also, if all goes well, I think I'll actually hit my goal of being at or under 300 lbs by the end of this month, so yay!

    Great job everyone :)

    I'm losing but not fully back on track yet. I'm getting there. I started seeing a Certified Dietitian last week so hopefully I get this going again. Received my replacement fitbit in the mail but apparently they gave me an upgrade but didn't send the upgrade charger so I had to go back and request the charger. So I still can't use the fitbit. Such is life!

    Actually managed to stay under my calorie goals for the whole week and it paid off in a big way. The fresh vegetables starting to come in from the garden is sure helping a lot. Last night I tried and enjoyed a yellow squash grilled in the oven with pesto sauce and Parmesan cheese.

    This week went by well, though I'm still bad at remembering to take my supplements. But I was really bad on the weekend. Not in the "omg I ate way too much food" sense, but rather in the "wow I barely at anything" way. We were really busy this weekend and I barely had time to eat or drink water. I think when I finished tracking my food for yesterday, I only ate about 600 calories, which is really super low. I'm thinking that's why my loss is as big as it is this week and it'll come and bite me in the *kitten* for next week. Does anyone else notice that they don't do as well on the weekends? I think I do much better on the weekdays because I'm in a routine at work.

    In other news, only 0.8 lbs away from my first major goal! Great job everyone!

    There was no loss this month and true to form I severely blew it in the last week, AGAIN! This happens every month! I am so frustrated, I just want to quit. I blow the entire months work in one week! I don't understand it! I try so hard all month and all that work was for nothing! Why bother?

    Didn't make my goal but I'm not worried about it. I'm at one of my weights that I always slow down and stop at. It happens every time. I'll get it next month! Losing ~1.5 pounds a week is still losing. I'm ready for the June challenge.

    @bevkidd1 You CAN do this.. there is a point. You did the hard work and you had a back slide. Tomorrow is another day.. shoot TODAY is another day. I don't know what happened but I just know you can do it. Your previous weeks showed it's possible and I have faith in you. Please don't give up. Feel free to add me if you want some moral support.

    Where are you on your cycle? That might have something to do with it? Hormone eating plus water retention?
    Your still here, don't beat yourself up. Learn from it and keep at it!

    Bev, I was thinking the same as Sherry. If it's the same time every month is it cyclic/that time of month? Knowing is half the battle right there and if you need the support or even a "Put the Cookie Down!" emergency line, we're fairly local to each other, feel free to reach out to me for my cell # and I can talk/text you down off your cliff if you need it :wink:

    Don't give up, you've shown you can do this. We're all here to support you and you absolutely can get through this rough patch Bev!
