    I'm going to begin weighing in again. Here is my weigh in for March week 2. also posting this in the captains thread for the mods. Thanks for placing me in the cheer squad for the month.
    ..

    @mari_moulin. You are most welcome. Happy to have people on cheer squad so that can continue to participate.

    Glad too that you are feeling up to weighing again. The relationship with scales can be a complicated one.

    Thank you very much Craig. It can just get so overwhelming sometimes and never ending. I’m glad I took a small break without having had a gain. I’m excited to start up again 100% with my team in April!

    Glad to have you back @mari_moulin. Hope your little break was exactly what you needed!! And since you didn't gain while you were away, I'd say it was a good break!

    Thank you so much. I truly needed this break and so happy to come or the other end with a tiny loss. I thought it would surely be a gain.

    Weigh-in
    Previous weight: 185.6 lbs
    This week: 184.3 lbs

    That sneaky 1.1 pounds from my get-away is gone with another 0.2 pounds. :smiley:

    My roller derby team had a game on Saturday, and we won! My finger didn't complain the whole game, and I did some awesome blocking.

    The photos have been posted and there's not a single photo of me that I don't like. Although, it does takes me a minute to find myself in photos now, I guess my perception of what I look like hasn't caught up to what I actually look like, haha!

    When I get a chance to go into the browser version of the forums I'll post up a few of the photos.

    You lost your getaway weight and then some, your finger is feeling better and allowed you to have an awesome game and you now like yourself in pictures.....I call that a win/win/win!!!! It'll make this week hard to try to top that, but I'm sure you'll give it a go!!

    I have to admit, I didn't think you would be able to post a loss this week after your massive loss last week. Good for you for proving me wrong!!!!

    Weigh in week: March 19, Week 3
    Weigh in Day: Monday
    Previous week's weight: 179.4
    This week's weight: 175.6

    It is so true that nutrition is 80% and exercise is 20%! For the past year I have been working out a minimum of 3 days a week. But until I joined this community and using this app have I been stricter on my meals and snacking. Granted the lost may be water weight but I have less cravings for sugar and processed carbs.

    Fantastic loss this week!!! You are so right about the 80/20.....they say you can't outrun or out train a bad diet, and by "bad" I mean too many calories!!! Glad you found MFP to help you with that!!

    Tracking Y
    Calories Y
    Exercise Y, 34min walk

    Getting back into the swing of things after nearly a week of not exercising. I didn't think it would be hard to jump back in, but my walk really took a lot out of me tonight! I'm going to be sure to pace myself and pare back my workout schedule for this week so that I'm doing only 1 element a day. Tomorrow, strength training.

    Very smart to listen to your body and ease your way back into exercise!!! Don't need an injury to get in your way!!!

    Slow progress but getting better with exercise!

    @shanell3827, did you mean to type 164.0?.... because 154.0 is not slow progress...it's an 11 pound loss!

    Hey there team, I got hit with the flu or some kind of nasty virus again. I’ve been out of commission for the last several days but am starting to feel a little better. Definitely still not up to exercising (can hardly stand for a few minutes without feeling like fainting) but am eating again so that’s a step in the right direction. I am SO TIRED of all this illness. Hoping that spring will bring with it warmer weather and wellness.

    Little win today..
    Something made me angry today, instead of turning to food and eating my weight in crisps and chocolate - as I would do when angry/sad/any extreme emotion..
    I sat it out - Made myself think about WHY I am doing this.. How 1 hour (or whole evening) of stuffing my face with junk wouldnt make it better, it wouldnt fit what had annoyed me.. It would just set me back, making my journey to a healthier me take longer..

    So.. Today is a WIN.. I beat over 30 years of emotional eating for, I think - the first time ever..
    Actually thinking about it.. It's a BIG WIN..
