Happy to be starting May almost at lowest which is great and feeling on track with my running.

@HASWLRS is it OK if I move my week 1 May weigh in to Thursday next week? We're off on our first family holiday to the sun and fly out Thursday so I won't be at home with scales for my usual Friday.

Have a great weekend! I'll check in later run club with my Friday night run ☺️

I weigh in in the morning and am expecting a gain. On the upside, my running plan is on track and when I did weights today I am getting stronger.

NSV of the week- while turning a screwdriver I could see the muscles of my arm working

@swauters, those are great NSV's! Maybe working out this week didn't guarantee a drop on the scales, but that is not the main reason we work out....it is to get stronger, and you are doing just that!

Well, I ate at an average deficit of 750 calories per day this week. Should be down 1.5 pounds, not up 1 pound. Argh!

These last 2 months have been frustrating for me. A lot of sickness and a lot of back pain. I’m finally coming out of the back pain, which is great, but I am exhausted from the effort of getting through March and April.

It’s frustrating because I’m so close to my goal, which is 215. I think, for sanity purposes, I need a diet break. I’m going to leave the group and just focus on eating at maintenance and working out when I can. It’s been a great experience being a part of the group. Thanks everyone for support and sharing. It’s been extremely helpful to be a part of this community

@Tracie_Lord, you're right. Not every week will be a great week. Holding steady after a long weekend....most people would accept that. You are still down almost six for the month, so well done!!

Weekly weigh in

April starting weight - 178
Last week - 177
This week - 177 😐

I’m happy to be down a bit for the month - I suppose all of the eating I did last month caught up to me and made it harder for me to lose this month. I’ll keep working toward the breakthrough next month.

@mikea2g, aww, Mike, we are going to miss you!! A lot!! But, I do get it. I really do. A diet break will do you a world of good mentally. Then when you feel refreshed, you can again work on losing those last eight pounds. You are more than welcome to rejoin us when that time comes. Or even just a pop in post to let us know how you are doing. Wishing you all the best.

This: 247.7

Yet another week with a small loss but they have been consistent. I’ve lost about 7 lbs in the 7 weeks since I got back from vacation and reapplied myself.
I am now down a total of 27.8 lbs. And I am 2.5 lbs away from my lowest weight last fall before I got off track.
I feel like I am back in a good zone and I really see myself hitting that lowest weight and going much further.

@erikNJ, that's awesome, Erik! Only 2.5 from your lowest!! Absolutely you are back in the zone and heading towards your new lows!! Glad we can be here to witness these with you!
