I did think I could weigh myself again later but then decided, I really can't be bothered. It's the monthly but if the gain is from that is another thing. Just busy and forgetting to do my diary but I don't think I've gone crazy this week.i've had no cravings but I've been eating bread after finding lots of gf bread reduced. I can't over look that. I'm not bloated from what I can tell , been careful with the salt as that's the normal big cause of my bloating and I've kept up my calcium and iron supplements which stop my hormones going crazy as a result also stops the cravings. Never had cravings till all that started with my body. Each pregnancy has changed my body hormones wise and being gf just adds to the problem.

Finally braved the scale after not stepping on it for 2 weeks. I was definitely up from where I was 3 weeks ago but motivated again to get it back down. Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there, and good job everyone!

@wyhorzegal I hope your daughter is on her way to a speedy recovery!

Nooooot excited to see what I'm at tomorrow. I went wild with a steak today and was already up from last Monday so I KNOW it's going to be bad. I've been feeling generally like garbage as far as my weight lately though, trying to fight off the self-esteem monster. However...I've gotten really into kale (it's more delicious than I expected!) and I'm trying to make myself more sandwiches and less takeout!!!! So I think my diet is improving significantly. I'm also trying to stick to the 8-hour (intermittent fasting) way of life, I used to do it, and it wasn't really helping me that much other than to curb my appetite. I think now though I've been doing more exercise and watching what I'm eating better than before so I have high hopes this will make a difference.

Week 3 results

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WEEK 3 WINNER @Tracie_Lord. - 2.60%
AND TO TEAM BIG BUTT THEORY FOR TAKING 1ST PLACE IN WEEK 3!!

Team The Big Butt Theory did an outstanding job in Week 3. Some big losses posted in Team The Big Butt Theory.

This week we had at least one in each team in the magic 1% range, which is great!!

Most teams slowed down even more in week 3 than week 2?! It's hard to keep the motivation up, but use the warmer weather to get out and do more. Make the most of the summer.

This competition is based on weight, but most would also have non-scale victories along the way. Looser clothes, feeling fitter, resisting temptation, unexpected compliments, etc.. Be mindful to look for these non-scale victories along the way. These help keep the motivation to continue putting in the work to successfully manage weight.

Below are the full results for Week 3.

I'm thinking about going low carb or try keto. I have been listening to youtubes about keto. One guy says that for some of us who hold weight in our bellies we simply cannot process carbs like a thinner/no belly person. Our body is different. I keep wishing that I could eat freely like my skinny friends but realized I'm comparing apples to oranges. Day 1- low carb. I don't say keto because I still have to figure out how to get all that fat into my diet instead of a ton of protein. Just rambling....

Looks like our team needs to step it up this week. I havent lost much lately, so I was clearly just sitting back and wishing on a star. I know that I have to take this seriously because it is my health that is at stake.

hi team!!

Thank you everyone for all the well wishes for my kid:) She is doing better, Thursday we will go back to the doctor for the new walking boot. (not sure why they call it that when she can't have any weight at all for another two months!) She had a horse wreck:( other then being grumpy cause she can't ride, she is doing great.

We made it back from family vacation! My grandma passed away a little over a year ago and we decided that we take the money and do a big family vacation together every year. I think she would of loved the idea. This year we did Glacier National Park and Flathead lake, beautiful country! In the middle of this huge lake is a big Island called Wild Horse Island, I am happy to report I hiked the whole island and kept up with everyone!;0)

I did step on the scale this morning and was up two pounds from last week:( I tried to eat good but sitting in the car, snacking and just eating out every meal for 5 days I knew wasn't going to be good.

I hope everyone has a great day! Keep up the great work, alot of us are almost to our goals or can see our goals coming! Some of us are almost half way there! and then some of us are struggling but we got this. Today is a new day!

@djou11 and @wyhorzegal I wanted to let you know that I will be weighing in this Friday 6/22 but I will not be weighing in Friday 6/29. We will be on vacation in a very rural part of Arkansas and I will not have access to a scale, WiFi or even cell service. We leave 6/22 but I will weigh and log before we leave and we are coming home 7/3. I will continue the challenge for July. How does that work? Do you just use my same weight from 6/22 for 6/29 also?

I'm scared for how things will go diet wise while we are there. I won't be able to log anything because I won't be able to use mfp. My mother in law will be doing most of the cooking so I'm not sure what all she's cooking or putting in the dishes. I will be cooking about 4 of the meals so I can judge those times. I told myself I'm going to REALLY watch my portions the best I can and not snack in between meals. I am going to allow myself a very small serving of something sweet each day because I am on vacation after all. We will be doing alot of walking and hiking so I'm hoping that will help offset any overages I may be eating. I've been having some anxiety about it this past week because I finally made it to the 170's and I don't want to go back to the 180's.

Week 1 (May 28th): 189.4
Week 2 (June 4): 190
Week 3 (June 11): 190.2
Week 4 (June 18): 191.4
Week 5 (June 25):

SO Sorry I did this late again. I think next month my weigh in day is going to be Tuesday since I seem to forget every Monday. (I work Mondays but not Tuesdays so I have a tendency to forget when I'm rushing around in the mornings).

Kind of disappointed in this week, and I notice a general trend that I'm gaining back again. I don't know why but I hope that I can reverse the effects. I've been trying to eat more of my favorite health foods (Hello kale, my new best friend<3) instead of ordering takeout, but it's so tough. My brother works at Chickfila so that is so tempting every now and then to want to stop in. I was thinking about making myself a rule that perhaps just once a week, maybe Saturdays, I could indulge on a couple of my favorite junk food, like taking myself out to Chickfila or getting a Halo Top ice cream from the store. I think if I give myself one cheat day a week or even every two weeks I can promise myself to behave the rest of the week....?
