    @PloddingTurtle I hope you feel better soon. This challenge is to encourage and support. I don't want anyone to feel guilty during this process. Life is going to happen and we can't beat ourselves up for it. We all know weightloss isn't linear. @cnavarro002 Aren't grandkids the best?... hope you and hubby enjoyed the trip. Great loss wishing you and hubby great success on this journey hopefully he logs his weigh in to..lol :)<3<3<3

    @cnavarro002 and @bigghunny, you are the best!

    Hope and vision is fueling me me right now while I work at building knowledge and successful new habits; I refuse to give power to the scale other than just a tool to mark my progress.

    Wow! I am just caughting up on the week! I have to say that this one the first of three crazy weeks. I coached my girls’ softball team on Monday and Wednesday. We had an awards ceremony at my son’s high school. He got awarded an amazing award...it was a super proud moment. Then I had a big event at work that required me to be at school until 9pm last night. On top of it all I had report cards to finish and I came down with strep throat! Sorry about the venting, but wanted to explain my absence this week. I fear that the next two weeks will be the same, but then summer vacation!

    I weighed in this morning and am down 0.6lbs. Current weight is 292.7. Group total is 4.1 pounds. Great job everyone!

    Sigh - sorry guys, I had a gain this week. Saturday was really hot here - and my ankles swelled up like watermelons. Then my son graduated in Sunday. I had planned on not tracking on Sunday so that was as planned and I didn’t go too crazy. However the leftovers from the party did me in and I was off plan for a total of 5 days and I am ashamed to admit there was binging.

    So.... I am up 8 lbs. I was back with the program today and I know most of it is water weight so I will have a loss to post soon.

    @JJKM02 sounds like a crazy busy week. Congrats on still losing.
    @MzCara148 look at my post above. No apologies necessary in this group. Life is going to happen. Ups and downs are expected. The only one you have to answer to is yourself. Everyone please know challenges are great and motivating not meant to cause guilt or sadness.
    Celebrate your loved ones graduation is a special time. My daughter's graduation almost killed me from stress and food. I survived and went on from it to lose. Just don't lose sights of your goals. Pick up and keep going. Sorry for long post just want everyone to know we are in this together and I support you through THICK AND THIN. (YES pun intended) :):D:)B)
    Hope your throat clears up soon
    I hope the swelling goes down soon

    Well, it would appear that some of us are having a more challenging challenge this month. :) I'm up for it and feeling positive. I'm already back down to a scant +0.5 above last week's weigh in and the inflammation is down in most of my body parts. I still have cankles. :( Actually, they're more like cafunkles - the size of my calf extends down to my foot, but my feet are down to normal, so the inflammation is shaped like downward shaped funnels, hence cafunkles. Sigh. This too shall pass.

    Good job on recommitting everyone. This month will be dramatic.

    Week 1: +3.6 lbs[/b
    On a bright note, I am expecting a bit of a whoosh effect next week.

    Updating my week 1 check-in
    Week 1: +3.6 lbs (Friday)
    -5.4 lbs (Sunday)

    I lost the 3.6 gain and a new -1.8 lbs. I will go back to Friday weigh-in for my next check-in, but I was too pleased to not update my check-in this morning.

    New/actual group total: -2.4 lbs lost

    Weigh day Thursday

    Starting weight (6/1): 280
    Week 1 (6/7) : 288 +8
    Week 2 (6/14) : 276 -12 (-4 personal monthly total)


    New Group total: -23.6


    The huge loss this week is, obviously, because the +8 from the week before was water retention. The way my losses usually work - I'll be up next week. I really do wish it was linear.

    I went through and recalculated from the beginning of the thread. I'm pretty sure @PloddingTurtle should have added the 5.4 to our total rather than 1.8 on 6/10 because the gain of 3.6 had already been accounted for so it needed to be subtracted back out. If someone wants to check my math though that would be great!

    Oh, woohoo! This is one of the few times I don't get annoyed about doing a math thing incorrectly.
