Hi folks, I didn't get paid, everyone seems to be having troubles (last month lots of people didn't get anything - so it was kind of expected at some point) but it means that I've had to cut back at least until the money comes so I can't get new scales so I'm leaving for a while.
I want to thank you all, for normalising the weeks where we don't do as well as we would like, for doing consistently amazingly and being a huge inspiration @mikea2g for being the single most non-judgemental and supportive bunch of people @HASWLRS I have ever internet met. Thank you and I wish you all the best of luck in the future with all of your endeavours. I'll be back.8 -

Had takeout Chinese food for lunch with the family and even if I did get the calorie amounts my portion sizes would have to be a guess. Didn't get exercise in either.

So my weigh in this week comes with an apology for the team 😣 We were away 5 days out of 7 last week and food and drink were very off plan. I've been back on plan 100% since we got home yesterday so will finish of the month strong next week.4 -

So happy to see you’re finally able to start moving more. I know with your normal activity it had to be frustrating not to be able to be moving. Hope you get back to your old self soon.2 -

When I’m following plan I always have at least one week a month when it doesn’t seem like the scale moves, but then the next it’s a higher loss than I expect. Keep working and your body will catch up.3 -

No apologies necessary. We all have weeks where we can’t stay on track, but congrats on getting back home and getting back on track right away. Sometimes that’s the hardest part.2 -

Not a total surprise. I’ve had a ridiculous 3 weeks of sickness and not eating to goal. I’ve mostly been under maintenance but on Wednesday I ended up eating out and had 5000 calories of excessively sodium and carb laden food. So I’m guessing my real weight is around 224 and this is retention showing.

@T34S3l, we are sorry to see you go. Even without the imminent scale issues, your life seemed like it was going to be a bit chaotic for the next little while. We hope you are able to weather all of it brilliantlly, and that when we meet again, you are still enjoying the beauty of Onederland! Thank you for your well wishes. Best of luck to you, too!!2 -

@jlbtnc, Yes, this week the scale only moved ever so slightly, but not too long ago your weight was 219.2 pounds (your starting weight for this challenge!!) You have lost 9.4 pounds so far this month and the month is not over!!! If you are doing everything right, then don't despair!! Just keep pushing forward and the scale will eventually catch up to you!!3 -

@mikea2g, what I take from this is that you FINALLY felt well enough to eat at a restaurant!! That is a positive, and like you said, the small weight gain is all water and will be gone in short order!!2 -

@Coral333, the price of enjoying one's vacation is a temporary "up" on the scales!! Getting right back on track upon returning is huge!! If that is your mindset, then good things will follow, and you will indeed finish off the month strongly!!!2 -

@Tracie_Lord, that is so impressive!! Not just your almost five pound loss, (whoo hoo!!) but the correlation between working your butt off in the gym everyday and eating at a deficit, and seeing the results on the scales!! Very inspiring...thank you for that!!! Enjoy your concert weekend, you've earned it!!

Thank you and yes you are right, and I know sometimes I will let this dictate. I did not though and pushed through my exercise and walking indoors. I know I can see a difference in my face and with my tops and jacket across my stomach and the jeans are also loose.Username: jlbtnc

Thank you and right, I have to look at the entire picture and my NSV! As I mentioned to @pkg1998 I would normally let this derail me but not today. I pushed through my workouts, even though was not in the mood, and I do see NSV, I should be happy with. I hate not being able to measure being lost my measuring tape, lol. I know that would reflect the hard work!

I have not been able to access the message boards on my phone for a couple days. Kept saying I don’t have access.
Anyway, two no days on Wed and Thu. Had a concert on Wednesday so that day was lost. Yesterday I ate under calories but had no energy to get to the gym after getting in late the night before
Sun: yes
Mon: yes

Seems like my gym motivation with intermittent fasting has things going in the right direction. Probably would have been even lower if I didn’t blow it on Wednesday7 -
Mini Challenge
Date: My yesterday, Thur, 21st:
Totally unplanned and unfortunate Pass Day: late on Wednesday night, I was lying in bed next to my husband, logging my mini challenge stats actually, when DH kindly asked me to take him to the hospital because he was having chest pain. We have been in the hospital ever since.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, I did allot of walking throughout the hospital from the ER to the parking lot to ICU to walking across the street to get my food instead of eating the cafeteria food
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No, at the end of the day I was very much in my feelings and I was eating to eat(it numbed me)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes, my daily goal is 1200 a day and i went over by 1500, just a terrible day really.6
