I’ll take a buddy!! 🙂
@red1185 - I will rematch @ajaia2001 with you!
Then if another wants a buddy, I'll be the floating buddy. hahaha 2 -
There are no rules. I am hoping that you will reach out to one another on here by commenting on each others' posts. Then when the other hasn't been posting to find out what has happened to your buddy. And by your accountability to each other in our team thread, we will be inspired and encouraged by your support. I randomly assigned by drawing names.
If you need help navigating MFP, let me know. I'll do my best.
Buddy pair #1
@kilobykilo and @angiesjourney
Buddy pair #2
@DDay2020 and @goodreadsgal
Buddy pair #3
@Jovsfood and @skullsandskeletons
Buddy pair #4
@ajaia2001 and @red1185
LET'S DO THIS!!!
Remember we are . . .
The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).2 -

Super loss!! Yeah!!!!
@red1185 I have your PW:170.2, that is due to you switching your weigh-in day from Sunday to Saturday and it was the end of August and you had already weighed for August. So this was your first official weigh-in for September, as September started on Sunday 9/1.
Phew!?? Confusing eh!? Let me worry about those details. The important thing is you weighed-in and LOST!!! Yeah, you!!!!
1 -
Each week you weigh in on your chosen weigh-in day. Weigh-ins close at 11:59 pm EST on Saturdays. Should you miss the deadline, your weight will be marked as a zero loss. Challengers who miss two consecutive weigh-ins are disqualified for the remainder of the month. Please be respectful of your team - they are counting on your contribution to the team's success.
We might be able to get your weight on the spreadsheet before weekly tallies are completed, but no guarantees. Please hurry. I will scroll through again to do a double-check.
Weigh-Ins.[/i/] Weeks begin on Sunday and run until the following Saturday. Week #1 in Super September team members that still need to weigh-in:
@LuluLovinLife... Sun
@Klilev … Mon
@Melonpaul . . . Mon
@rlidl57 . . . Mon
@Catgray78 . . . Tue
@Germaine_yee . . . Fri
@Midsummer174627 . . . Sat
Your weekly weigh-in posts should look like this:

One thing I did well: Maintained my commitment to this team and challenge, even as little as it has been. I am still here.
One thing to improve: Make the start of my day FOR ME! Set the timer and do what I need to for MY health!

@jupdyke~ One week of enjoyment, now let the shred begin!! 👊🏽 8 weeks… that’s awesome! Eager to hear about the process and see your progress. Go Team Jen!! 💪
@red1185~ Great loss!! 👏🏽 Excellent on resetting your attitude. Sometimes that needs to be done daily, right!?
The choices you made last week are great for developing wonderful healthy habits towards a lifetime journey of keeping the weight off. Yeah!!!! Love. Love. Love. the reward system. Keep it going!! You’ve got this!!
@wander216~ Yeah for the loss. Yes, you can. Keep it going.
@goodreadsgal~ Friday!! You did it... Logged and exercised. Way to be honest with yourself. That’s a pretty good day. Especially for a Friday… right!?
@kilobykilo~ Good Saturday…. Yeah! LOVE salads! Hope the sheets helped you get some peaceful and cozy 🛌💤😴. How did Sunday morning exercise go for you? What did you do?
@jmacaroni~ I appreciate your honesty and that you are still sticking around with us. You could've said, “Heck with it, I’m not posting.” 👍🏽 I hope everyone feels better and that you can get back to taking care of yourself. You will do it! You can!!
@Pearl4686~ I think we make a great team. You’re on when I’m not and vice versa. You can do it. Make a goal for yourself and reward for having 4 of 7 days without crashes! I’m getting myself mentally ready for something similar. Let’s do this!!
@DDay2020~ Slay-it on Saturday! 👍🏽 Well done.
@ajaia2001~ whoa!! That’s a lot of exercises. 👏🏽 Awesome!!! Have you ever exercised prior to eating? I know at one point in my weight loss journey, that helped my appetite. Maybe in a few weeks switch it up. See what works for you best.
@skullsandskeletons~ Good job on tracking and being under! 4 cups is more than 3 and you’re slowly starting to maintain that 4. Yeah!
@DogMom919~ Wonderful Saturday of tracking, being under… and a trip to the Farmer’s Market. 👍🏽 I hope you got some fresh good foods. I’ve been blessed this year from friends giving us items from their gardens.0 -

I added the two options below to our team’s weigh-in posts so that we could review our week and find something positive in it regardless of our weigh-in and also see if there is something to focus on for improvement. It was really hard for me to write about this. I DID have to ponder a bit, as I feel down on myself for allowing myself to regain (again!) and not being here consistently. Which equates to totally checking out of it all. So as I write… I just came up with my two optional statements.
One thing I did well: I am still here.
One thing to improve: Be mindful of my options and track my intake.
GOAL: Journal 7 days: 4 days spot-on of under calories; then 3 days at maintenance.
Reward: Buy a new candle from local Rx and use it in my favorite candle holder to light at night to remind myself to stick to good habits for night time.

One thing I did well: I'm still trying. I'm not giving up. I did considerate, but I'm going to keep pushing!
One thing to improve: Focus on my self more. I love my family, but I have to love myself too to be able to love my family completely. I have to log in more and keep current on the post on MFP for support and just to be more involved in my team.
GOAL: Journal 7days: 5 days spot-on of under calories; then 2 days at maintenance.
Reward: I have a stress candle I already bought from Bath and Body works, but never used. I plan to clean up my bedroom and room bathroom this week. Shooting for Tuesday or Wednesday, because I'm off those days. Light my candle and distress. Watch television with my candle glowing. I will be celebrating, because I will have stayed on track for 3 days that week.2 -

Well done getting back on track, something I find difficult. Sounds like you have a good plan there!
And a loss too!2 -

Thanks Jo! I couldn't do it without you! Still struggling with cookie crashes but hey, as long as the numbers go down, I'll take it.2 -
I’ll take a buddy!! 🙂
@red1185 - I will rematch @ajaia2001 with you! Then if another wants a buddy, I'll be the floating buddy. hahaha
Sounds good! Thanks for the match!
@ajaia2001 you ready to do this?! 😬👍💪🏻 I’ll friend you on mfp.2 -
@johicks it is definitely a daily struggle, but knowing I get a prize helps with motivation! It’s extrinsic motivation, but still motivation lol
I love that you’re planning to implement it as well - especially considering you gave me the idea! Lol
As always, thank you for the encouragement!! I love coming here, and reading your comments, they definitely help me keep a positive mentality. Also, you’ve got this, too! You deserve all the motivation and encouragement, as well!! Have a wonderful week!1 -

One thing I did well: My goal was to be purposeful in my eating this week, and I did that. Even when I went over my calories, it wasn't a binge. I decided what I was okay with eating, and then stopped once I'd eaten that.
One thing to improve: As always, work on controlling snacking. I could also work on improving counting calories, especially on days when I can't be exact. If I eat out, I tend to just give up on counting calories for the day, but that often leads to additional overeating later on because I feel like there are no repercussions.
I'm pretty excited to see the 250s back on the scale. I just hope it last more than two days this time.

@red1185 I love these challenges for the support (and accountability) too!2 -

Not a great week. Last week was a wedding week, this week a funeral😢.
I am happy I have stayed fairly constant.
One thing I did well was count my blessings as funeral have out paced wedding.
One thing I am working on is being consistent with my eating habits.
I am still down 22 pounds since learning of this group in June😊!1 -
