    @johicks, @goodreadsgal posted her weigh-in on team TBBT's thread. I tagged her and told her she was on team RTM.

    @johicks, @goodreadsgal posted again on TBBT's thread, this time just a daily post. She said she was having trouble getting into the Community until now. Her team confusion may be that she was on my team once upon a time for a short while. I did tag her again to let her know her error. I will let you know she if she responds to this one.

    I'll find her and message her. And search your thread to put posts on our thread to help steer her the right way. Again, Thanks @HASWLRS.

    @johicks, can you actually message people and have them receive your messages? For me, my sent messages will only be received if the recipient is already a "friend" on MFP of if we have both previously messaged each other to "complete the loop". After that any subsequent messages sent will be received.

    I honestly don't know. I have sent messages out there. Nothing ever came back to me saying did not send.

    @johicks, do you know if they got the message? There is no notification of it not being sent on the computer. Maybe it is sent, it is just not received? Test it out with someone on your team. Send them a test PM and tag them here to ask them if they got it. If the answer is no, then have them send you a test PM. Once you know both tests have been sent, then you should be able to PM each other.

    Had my weigh in yesterday, and a reflection of what an awful week it has been!
    SW: 218
    CW: 221.4 (+3.4)
    I forget what else we’re supposed to post!

    My main goal right now is to drink tons of water this week and prep meals for the upcoming week on Sunday!

    Week1
    Friday
    PW: 174.8
    CW: 173.6

    Weight finally came back down, but I weighed in a few times this morning at various times and it was fluctuating a lot....so hopefully it stays this way and trending downwards at the very least

    Daily Post (Thursday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over, 1572/1380
    Day: Gave in a bit to TOM cravings and sat and ate 3 greek yogurt brownies I made without even really thinking....luckily caught myself before anymore and put them away and went to bed. Giving myself some grace this week and letting it be ok that I've eaten just a bit above the past three days, but still under maintenance cals!

    @JamieD328~ Shucks on weigh-in, but if you’re not feeling well then it’s hard to focus on eating right and exercise. Glad it’s not strep, but tonsilitis isn’t much either. HUGS
    @red1185~ Yes we do have an uphill battle. I like my numbers, too. But sometimes it’s more like Sudoku hahaha! If using your clothes as a monitor to weightloss, take pictures, too! :D I know, not instantaneous results… but it’s great to go back and see the progress.
    @Jactop~ Awesome two great days!! Strength training, me too!! Let’s do this!
    @skullsandskeletons~ Tracking, Stepping, Keep on going!! :)
    @Jupdyke~Jen!!? Dirty 30. I love workouts with names. Lol You did great with not indulging and one glass of wine. You go girl!!
    @Fivepts~ I love berry season!! Just had some fresh strawberries this week… yummo!! I do a moderate carb-diet and IF, as well. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter. My body clock is on the same schedule, fortunately. Hope you can get into a good schedule to make this work for you. Yahoooo a loss! Keep doing it!! It is tricky to reset the metabolism. I briefly saw a blog about re-setting. If I find it again, I wll post it. Just so you know, you have your PW as 144.1, on our spreadsheet, it is 144.3. I just want to make sure we are on the same page. Here is the last entry I have from you:
    User Name: @Fivepts
    Weigh in week: May Week #5
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Weight: 145.6
    Current Weight: 144.1
    @Perla4686~ Right. Knowing and doing are two different things for sure. You didn’t gain! :) So, what one small thing can you do every day this week to get closing to doing what you know needs to be done? Water? Or get up and stretch!? Or up 15 minutes early to plan? Just choose one thing and knock it out of the park!! When you set yourself up for success, it’s much easier to add to that success. Stop telling yourself I can’t have that or can’t have this. INSTEAD… I choose this or that because that is what is best for my me and my health…. And I’m worth it!! ( not lecturing, reminding myself!)
    @ajaia2001~ Over a 1# loss…. Wooohoooo!!
    @Gen216~ HUGS …. I’m sorry to hear that you had such an awful week. If there is anything we can do to help. If nothing else, check on here to read other posts every day! Or night. Reading to know you are part of team may help keep you motivated. Yes… meal prepping is a good practice. When ever I make something, I make several of it! Chop veggies for salads for the week, cook one pan of veggie omelets to have and reheat 4 breakfasts and make veggies dip with greek yogurt and have carrots or other veggies handy, and then my yummy protein NO Bake Fakes as treats. Hope you make a good plan. Other ideas…. Find recipes for crockpot ingredients you can pack into ziploc baggies and freeze. Then pull out to make for dinner on a busy night. Less time in the kitchen later.
    @jwall309~ Nice loss!! Yeah!! Giving in a little is better than throwing in the towel. I’m slowly learning that!! You’re doing great!!

    Daily check-in attempt #1
    Sat. 6/8
    Yesterday I didn't track my food but I ate well except that at 10 pm my husband decided to take the kids out for frozen junk food. I am trying not to eat sugar so I got hot water and cream and added my own licorice and blueberry "coffee" powder BUT it was bitter so I added a spoonful of my husband's frozen junk food. Next time I will add vanilla beforehand. I am still trying to decide if a small amount of sugar sends me on a long binge or not. I used to give into the "What the heck" thinking but now that I am aware of it, I can seem to recover more quickly. I did obsess over the baked junk food in the fridge all day but didn't eat them. I am definitely a sugar/flour addict and fighting it moment by moment.
