    Saturday
    Week 1
    PW: 149.0
    CW: 147.0

    Next week I will be away on vacation and I won’t be able to weigh myself. Had a good week of sticking to my plan and hope that my coming holidays plus a wedding won’t set me back. 24% BF today. Does anyone on here aim for a certain BF%? I’m not sure what is ideal for ladies.

    Sorry to have been away most of this week. A lot on the go at home.

    I am doing well and my husband continues to recover well. We have been going out to the mall to walk because it is too hot and humid for him.

    I am hoping for a loss tomorrow. Eating some prepared foods today that have more than my normal salt content, even though calories will be reasonable.

    @jugar I see the spreadsheet has me down for 5, I meant to pledge 3, thinking I posted that? No way can I do 5 in a month, I wish though. :D

    Thanks for the good news! And I'll fix your pledge... 3 is certainly doable. We'd all love to do more, but let's be real, right?

    Happy Saturday!
    My internet is back, at least for now. We're having a lot of wild storms today (at last!) and it keeps going out on me. My vegetable garden will be MUCH happier. I have not got any water set up out there this year, so things were getting pretty dry.

    Lots to celebrate - @Connie7355 50 pounds lost! You are a champion! Yes, there may be more to go, but you have got this!

    Thanks for all the numbers, everyone. You know how much I love them. Steps - wow @mari_moulin @BMcC9 and @evangsimmons170 - you are leading the pack. Keep 'em coming! And doing all kinds of other exercise, and French, and all -- I'm seriously impressed.

    And the green weigh-ins are outnumbering the red. @terytha the oreos did not get you! You must have been very, very good aside from those, and maybe some other faire food. We are all trying not to look at those pictures.

    And a special hug to @mari_moulin - out there walking after tangling with the medical people yet again, and in spite of the heat. I am sure that shower was a fantastic one!

    @wlcmac81 - no worries about being late - if you want to change days, just let me know. Of course it is best to stick to the one so that you don't have any short or long weeks during the month :wink:

    @Loriab901 - great job on your loss and excellent BF%. I also watch that number fairly carefully, and you are certainly in the GOOD range. You would not want to go below 20%. Next week I'll mark your weigh-in EXC for excused, and just re-enter this week's weight. Just weigh in on your normal day the week after that, and have a great time while you're away!

    @martinesther88 do you have steps for June 30th? I might have missed them, but if you could re-post them, that would be great. Thanks!

    Last weigh-ins for the week due by midnight tonight:

    @jugar I’m going to have to estimate steps today as I went out for the day with my Fitbit charging at home.

    Estimate for Saturday - 6,500

    I will post a site that uses the US Military formula for determining BF % which also gives you an idea of what makes a good proportion. Only needs height, weight, neck, waist and hip measurements.

    @micki48 and @Perla4686....thanks for the kudos. I didn't make my 100,000 step goal this week, but I'll keep pushing to get there next week. I'll post my final steps for today shortly.

    @SueSueDio

    It's still before midnight here... ;)

    I don't recall what my last weight was, but this morning I was 161lbs. I think that's about the same?

    Soooo hard to get back into the groove.

    Thanks. I'm even more determined to reach that 100k goal this incoming week. I'm tired of being in the 340s! Been circling that drain far too long!!!!

    Good Morning everyone. I had a very nice day yesterday. I’m happy to report that I am in no pain although I still have quite a bit of swelling and the hematoma is still looking the same 😒 but it doesn’t matter. I’ve made up my mind that it is what it is. I never expected to be perfect and I am very happy to no longer have all that skin hanging and getting in my way.

    Yesterday hubby took us to a sports shop and I got me a few workout outfits and a new toy! So excited to start using it today. I did my usual walk this morning and tonight when the tv comes on, (finally starting to watch stranger things) I’m hopping on my new stepper! Wishing you all a blessed Sunday!

    Good Morning Team!
    As you soon will see when Greg posts the full results, we came in 2nd this week o:)

    I just finished up the tallies, and our team results are :
    1st @Leni1us 2.17% (3.7 pounds)
    2nd @Loriab901 1.34% (2 pounds)
    3rd @reflectionofme 0.97% (1.3 pounds)

    We always place the teams and individuals by percentage of body weight lost rather than by pounds - as you know, the less you weigh the harder it is to lose, because each pound is a larger % of your total weight.

    Also impressive losses from
    @evangsimmons170 2.6 pounds
    @tigrib 1.8 pounds

    Well done, everyone!

    So if we're going by percentage, wouldn't my percentage be .99% between my previous/starting weight (343.6) and yesterday's weigh-in (341)?
