This month has been a challenge all the way around. I've eaten out more than I usually do (business meetings, work related travel, retirement parties, etc). I've also have some medical issues that have taken my focus away from what I'm eating. I wanted to go into September at 160. Guess that ain't gonna happen.

It seems to be a tough month for many people. I was amazed that the first week of August was the first time since I have been involved in this challenge that the full group gained over the week rather than lost. There were some who lost for sure, but as a whole group of 6 teams, around 20-25 members per team, we gained. I think there is something about the summer feeling like it is ending, the fall beginning soon (at least up here in the north!), vacations ending - it is a time that gets us. Work hard in September to get below that 160 goal. Try @micki48 's beautiful thing with paper rings for each weight unit you lose (you get to go burn them if you want!) or whatever inspiring tracking method helps. You'll get there! Just posting this message so we know you need some support is the right move. I hope your medical issues are being resolved and that you can put your health and fitness on the top of the list. Comfort eating usually results in discomfort or regret. You can do this! Keep in touch

Im sitting here freaking out about weighing in tomorrow, I had such a great loss last week and I am hoping for something tomorrow in ways of a loss. My mind keeps telling me that I wouldn't see a loss after a 5 pound loss last week. Now all I want to do is eat, but I won't. This is sooooo hard. Sorry for complaining.

You are NOT complaining. You are having a good rant! You don't need a solution (you know what to do), but you need to be heard. Well, you are heard, and I have to say your rant rates about a 6 out of 10. Really go for it, no holds barred, no apologies. It is HORRIBLE that we celebrate a weight loss with the behaviour that caused the weight gain. What on EARTH is WRONG with our wiring???? We all want to do this - you are far, far from alone. This is indeed SO HARD. You will feel amazing when you do not give in to the wiring, but it happens and so does the learning. If you need some rather over the top but suprisingly helpful motivation energy, listen to "Headphones On, World Off" from Fearless Motivation, or some other thing that helps remind you why this is the best path to be on.

Weigh in boldly tomorrow, and then get in here and rant daily. You had a great week last week, and you can take a small hit this week to get back to a better one next week. Right?

@jugar
Thanks for listening, I just get into my head sometimes and I don't always like it up there. I stuck to my guns and I did have a good week. Down for the week. I just need to stop worrying about what my numbers are going to be on Saturday mornings. It's easier said than done, but I am going to try. Also I think about is what I am eating and will it effect me badly on the scale. Thank you again for your kind words and allowing me to get to of my head and vent. Thanks again.

Ahhhhhh, finally. It's not a lot, but another tens place reached, and 43 total pounds.

Happy Saturday! I slept until noon. Haven't done that since I was 17. Just goes to show how badly I needed it I guess.

Tonight we have a Weird Al Yankovic concert! It's the strings attached tour with the full orchestra so we're gonna get all dressed up. XD

@micki48 a lot of us have been struggling lately but one week does not ruin everything we have accomplished so far. Sometimes a little break helps give you the push you need to get serious again. You have done so well and you know what it takes to do this. The main thing for me has been logging every bite whether I’m on plan or not. It definitely makes you mindful of how much you’re eating.
You can do this!! I know you can!!
Sending you hugs!!

Congratulations on your loss Connie. You are definitely not alone. This teammate keeps trying to learn that over and over. And I even gained. Glad you lost. I’ve noticed when I have a really great week, I tend to blow it the following week. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was purposely sabotaging myself. But, why would I do that?
