    Somehow I made it through a Disney trip and a week of eating without gaining ten pounds!
    154.4
    Today is my first day back at the regular routine. I only have two weeks left of it though, so we're kind of all over the place this summer.

    @eatingfoodles, you are actually down point two of a pound, so well done!! Go really hard for the next two weeks while you can!!

    Hi everyone! I am Heather. I am 47, married, and have two teenagers. I have struggled with weight since having kids. I have been in the challenge since November. While I don't put up big numbers, I have slowly been taking it off, one agonizing pound at a time. Trying to stay positive, and I always remind myself that the weight didn't get here overnight so I can't expect it to leave overnight. This is very frustrating when I do everything right and the scale doesn't move,or even worse, it goes up. I am going to try to up my commitment this month and rejoin the mini challenge that was keeping me on track. Good luck to everyone this month.

    @ethelsmommy, way to jump into the mini challenge! You originally requested a Thursday weigh-in.....does that day still work for you? If so, it may move for you in a couple days, so don't despair!!

    Again...Iโ€™ve had a hard time logging and getting g to the community section...Iโ€™ve been consistent since the last time I logged...I had to delete and reinstall and that seemed to help...kinda annoying that thereโ€™s so many glitches lately!!

    Last time I shared a weight (I think I missed a week) I was 226
    This week: 220.8!!!!!

    My goal was to be in the 220โ€™s by August. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ Guys onederland is soooo close ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ #cantstopwontstop

    Awesome loss!!!! Keep up the fabulous work!!!

    Tracking- yes
    Calories- no
    Exercise- yes ( 1 mile walk)

    Been struggling here the past couple of days with a pulled hamstring in right leg. I have not exercised in a few days and it has gotten worst and has moved up to my tail bone as of this evening. Iโ€™ll tell you itโ€™s one of the worst pain ever and icy hot not doing much good. It really hurts when bending my legs to sit or stand. Suggestions welcomed. ๐Ÿ˜•

    Sorry about your hamstring:( I would try to be extra focused on eating if you canโ€™t do much in the excercise department. You can still see a loss this week if nutrition is on point.


    @Ar_cervantes thanks I will have to consider that.

    @ HASWLRS Thanks. I will certainly have to try something hopefully it will ease over soon.

    Hi everyone!

    Iโ€™ve been absent this week with a poorly baby. Seems to just be viral and on the mend but really the only thing Iโ€™ve been doing this week is temperature checks, sickness clothes changing and cuddles ๐Ÿ˜ฐ Not expecting great things on the scales as I havenโ€™t made it to the gym and only managed 1 at home workout in between my husband being home from shifts and my daughter not wanting to let go ๐Ÿ˜”

    Hope everyone is having a better week than me and crushing their goals!

    @drea2011, no, Drea, you didn't miss a week; you lost five pounds in a week!! Whoo hoo!!
    Glad you seem to have overcome the app glitches. And you are right; Onederland is just beyond the horizon....no stopping now!!

    @Coral333, ah, so sorry to hear, but definitely a sick baby comes before a workout. Hope she feels better soon, so you can get back to looking after her mum as well!!

    @cmhubbard92, you've been preoccupied, I assume, with your looming new job and new address, so a maintain week is perfectly acceptable!!
