Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge - June Week #1 (Sun the 2nd to Sat the 8th)

Well, it felt like an odd week for the Mini Challenge. It was the first of the month and most people were anxious to try it and have a great start to June, but those that were new to TBBT hadn't quite got the hang of it yet. And then we had all those MFP glitches in the app and the website and with syncing to Fitbit, that it felt like the steam was let out of our tires and even those with good intentions gave up for that week. We had 21 participate, way up from last week of only 10, but of those 21, nearly half were in the "only attempted" category!! We did have six in the Winner's Circle, two more than last week, so all in all, it was a good start to June. @cmhubbard92, @drea2011 and @ForLangston were joined at the top by @abowersgirl, @brandi_84 and @CaroDav73. Congratulations to all six for a great week!! Of note, Christine, Drea and ForLangston were accountable for ALL SEVEN DAYS!! Well done!!

Winner's Circle - 6 or 7 days:
@cmhubbard (7) - 18th week IN A ROW in the Winner's Circle!!

@Krysless2, I've seen the ads for that Peloton app...it looks very good!! You'll have to let us know your thoughts on it when you have finished your trial period.

Nice surprise! I woke up feeling like I was retaining water from the gym, but maybe not!

@cmhubbard92, well done, Christine!! To lose a solid pound and half even with feeling a little bloated....priceless!!

A lot of "yes's" so far this week for the Mini Challenge...keep up the good work team TBBT!!

Side note: am I the only one that gains 7-10 lbs with tom ?!?!

I fluctuate between 2 & 4lbs but I always try to be deep in keto around that time to help with my bloating and cravings. And I drink lots of water.

@drea2011, well, I am glad there is a logical, albeit very frustrating, reason behind the weight gain! See you on the other side!!
