    @jugar I will participate in step reporting starting on June 1st. I'm not a big stepper, but I would like to improve.

    I’m kind of in a funk. Between staying about the same for about a month, getting a little sloppy with my logging, and feeling really fat, I need to get out of it. I was thinking after losing almost 18 pounds that I was looking pretty good. Then the last few days mirrors and reflections have been mean and alarming to me. This is just a plateau and I know I can be better, but ugh!😑...

    One of the things that struck me many years ago when I lost loads of weight was how quickly I went from feeling great about myself and my accomplishments to being critical of my thighs, arm flab, etc. My husband pointed it out to me. I was being self critical and he asked, "What happened to my wife from a week ago that was all excited about the new clothing she's wearing?" So I try to stop myself and step back to get a broader perspective.
    I think @jugar suggestion to read your older posts is a brilliant idea.

    @Terytha Whoa! that air quality is nuts. Have you ever seen the Airvisual earth site that shows the air quality around the globe? You can click anywhere and see what the measurements are for particulates in the air. I'm pretty sure you are in the worst place on the planet for that right now, unless there is a sandstorm in the Sahara desert that happens to be going on. https://airvisual.com/earth

    @zlauerMom Hey, that's neat! We're definitely under an air quality warning, with our air ranked at 10+. Although I think I heard it'll start to improve by Monday. Fingers crossed for rain.

    NEWS AND QUESTIONS

    The new members have all been moved into the regular team for JUNE. If you want to update your weigh-in, just let me know. Your starting weight should be taken on the same day of the week you want to continue on for the month of June. Or we can just use the one you put in when you signed up!

    Returning members are all in the spreadsheet for June as well - if you want to change days, try a different team, or anything, now is your chance to let us know!

    The 2 people who are on the Support Team - @BMcC9 and @AmyRobF - do you want to stay there? Or move back up to have your weigh-ins count? @micki48 - do you know Amy's plans?

    I would like to be back on the weigh In Team! I will weigh myself tomorrow and post in the June chat. Can’t wait to get back with everyone and continue this journey. 😁

    @zlauerMom - it is true how quickly we become critical of what felt like an accomplishment when it arrived. I am now at the lowest weight in ages, and still it is so easy to fall into the criticisms of big thigh, big whatever - let's celebrate where we are!

    It's been a super crappy week. Sorry guys.

    CW: 280.3 it's a gain but I don't know how much

    I'd like to change my weigh in day for June to Saturdays. You can use today's weigh in for tomorrow's number. Thanks for all you do!

    Happy Saturday team. Well I’ve done much better with snacking and staying under this week. However, I decided not to punish myself for eating Into my workout calories. I’ve been out for my walks everyday this week! I even got in a couple of extra walks here and there. I realized that an hour was a bit too much for me still so I have to do 30 minute sessions at a time. I will be having my 6 week post op this Tuesday (although it will technically be 6 weeks on Thursday) and I am keeping my fingers crossed to be cleared for jogging. My plan is to get back on my C25K program this coming week and start back on my arms and legs strength training at home with light weights. I’ve kept strong with my IF program going anywhere from 16 hours fasting to 20 depending on how I feel that particular day. I’ve slept so much better this past week and feel so much less bloated as well. I’m still working on balancing out my meals and keeping that first meal less heavy. My water intake is nearly perfect going anywhere from 2-3 L a day.

    I'm so sorry guys I'm letting the side down and myself. This week has been out of control and I've put on again.
    But I have done the food shop last night so I will be good this week. I am so disappointed in myself :(
    Cw-193.2 :,(

    If this were easy, everyone would be at a perfect weight and be fighting fit. You keep on - you did the good grocery run, now stick to your plan and it will work!

    Happy Saturday!
    I'll be travelling for most of the day, so try to get all your stats in for me by the end of the day and I'll plug them in tonight! Last steps, last weigh-ins - then we'll be ready for early tallies tomorrow. Greg and I get up with the lark (I think he gets up while the night creatures are still out), so let's see how the end of the month shakes out!

    North Carolina, here I come! It is so cold here this morning I think I'll be really glad to try out those roasting temps down there.

    Great job, everyone - some new residents of onederland, good progress, and good thoughts on how to keep this all going.

    I am still holding out hope for the following weigh-ins!

    Tomorrow morning, we'll do the week and the month tallies. Then we are ready to slide on over to the new chat for June!
