READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE WEEKLY UPDATE
We had 24 participants weighing in this week. 19 reported a loss and 5 a gain for a weekly combined loss of 36.2lbs.
After 8 weeks our group has lost 249.4 lbs! Wouldnt it be amazing to reach 300 by the time we are done?

Monday check-in
This weekend has been so so for me. Went slightly over my calories saturday and binged on pizza sunday. It has been so hot in my appartment I didnt want to turn the stove on. Plus the last couple of weekends I have been staying in so I wouldnt walk as I want to rest my foot as much as possible. Well it is getting old already. I miss my long walks. I really really hope it is not broken because 6 weeks of immobilization (meaning basically being stuck at home) is going to drive me crazy. I feel restless already.
I am just getting frustrated by not being able to exercise. I need to buy some weight so that I can at least work in my arms.1 -
Helene, water jugs or canned foods can be used as hand weights. Really, anything that can be picked up; a dictionary/phonebook, a baby, a cat.3

Monday check-in: I was off plan for a week while on vacation, but I'm back on track today. Forgot to weigh myself this morning, but that's ok. I'll give myself a day or two on plan and maybe it'll make a slight difference on the scales.
Happy Monday!2 -
Jam. Congrats on the loss
I wish to start the weight challenge. I was 216.4 this morning. I'm on the 8 week blood sugar diet. It advocates fast weight loss

Monday Check-in ... my computer was down all of last week due to the bedroom being turned into a guest room with office space instead of an office. My heavens! Everything takes quadruple time longer to do than I estimate it will take. It took me over 4 days just to sort through and pack up the office 'stuff' ... and in the meantime the rest of the house became dumping-off grounds for the boxes and odd pieces of furniture I had to take out of the room. Thankfully, today my computer is back up and running and the room is completed .... except for bringing in all that stuff that has to find it's way back into the office furniture.
One really interesting, and very possitive, a lesson I learned .... I'm going to stay off the computer more even though it's back up and running. And that includes MFP, and FB. I kept track of the food I ate during the past week by writing the meals and snacks down in a notebook, but I won't be transferring them into MFP as it will take too long to do. And, this computer down has now broken my record for logging in to MFP ... oh well, records are meant to be broken, and new ones set.3 -
Checking in for fun. There are many ways to measure success. The scale did not move this week. However, my resting heart rate has dropped about 15bpm since I started. That's pretty major.6

Hi all
Just wondering if it is too late to join Challenge0 -
Tuesday goal: to hit my challenge goal weight this week.(saw I was within .4 lbs of it yeasterday, but all these sore muscles have me up 2 lb this morning) After that is to get down 4 lbs to 210. I am really having to beak my goals down smaller and smaller as my losses get smaller and smaller each week. But a Loss is a Loss and better than a gain. I have been at this for 140 days now and I am still averaging out at a 2 lb loss a week, not that it in anyway reads on my scale like that each week. My graph looks like a slip n slide laid on a rocky mountain side.1

You can join if you want but this challenge ends in less than 2 weeks so I dont know if you will find a lot of benefits for it.0 -

The hardest time of day to stay on track is at night. What time is it for you? And what do you do to keep from over eating at that time?0

I am hoping that it is mostly salt but I am sure there is some genuine gain as well. I havent been doing good foodwise for 3-4 days in a row (pizza, chips you name it). Frustration, lack of sleep, and a little "down" mood are wrecking havoc on my resolve. I really want this to work. No way I lost ~50 lbs just to gain it back.
Right now my biggest enemy are weekends. Because my foot has been really hurting I am not moving much -> I get bored -> I eat. I think this weekend I will just go out and travel the city in bus, stay away from home. I am stressed out too because if I have to be immobilized for a few weeks I am worried I am going to go crazy with cabin fever and eat everything in sight.1 -
I am gaining during this challenge. Is it better to continue or drop out? I am embarrassed by my gain so I think I will drop out. Sorry. Good Luck to everyone. I am sure many of you will reach your goals by the final WI.0

@MermaidPrincessRach The choice is up to you. But no matter what don't be embarrassed. Weight loss is hard and no one is judging you because I am pretty sure we have all been there at one point in our lives. Just hold on and try to remember why you started this and why you want it. You can do it, Rachel!4 -
