Not as much as I hoped, but the right direction and closer to Onederland again. Last month I said I wanted to get to onederland. Got there then jumped up again. I learned my lesson. Now I am saying I want to STAY there.
That’s a great loss but I know it can be a bit disheartening when you would’ve liked more. Looks to me though that with another you good week you could be stepping into onderland next week! 🥳

Yesterday was a definitely interesting day! I drove my boyfriends car to the garage after work(small problem and needed recalls fixed). We have been talking about getting a bigger car(we both have sedans), and we ended up browsing and trading in my car for a newer, lower miles(only 30 and I was almost at 100k), SUV. It has perfect room for the doggies and everything we had wanted. With all the car browsing I was able to get my steps up, but the puppies weren't too happy that we were gone for so long!
I weigh in daily for my own personal benefit, and my weigh has been dropping a lot this week(extra activity, even better food choices, and drinking only water or iced tea 95% of the week.) This morning I hopped on to see a 1 in front of the number(199.4!), so I hope my food choices and activity remain smart over the next few days and I can have an even better loss come my official weigh in on Tuesday!4 -

@swauters I think I will wait on both of those! A new car is good enough for me for now! We are having pizza and cake for my boyfriend's dad's birthday, so I am going to "splurge" on something yummy, but hopefully come in under calories still!
On a different note, I got all of the ingredients to make overnight oats, and will be experimenting with them over the next week or so! I'm really excited to try them, and hopefully it keeps me full after my breaks in the morning!

So the idea of weighing on a daily basis has been brought up several times and I’m curious about what the team’s view is of it. I have done both - daily and weekly and I’m torn. This week I didn’t weigh daily and did a better job sticking to my plan, but I had only a small loss on Friday so I was disappointed (I think I had built up in my head that it would be bigger). On the other hand, on the weeks when I weigh in daily if I see an increase (which could be for a variety of reasons), I get frustrated and usually end up making poor choices during that day. So I guess for me just weighing once a week would be better because then there’s only a chance of one bad day because of the scale???
Sorry about the rambling, just trying to work on what I can do different this week.1 -
@cmhubbard92 So excited for you. I want to believe that I’ll be in “onederland” again someday and seeing your progress (and the other team members) gives me hope that I can.0

@pkg1998 I think it depends on how you react to daily weighing. For me, I use libra weight tracker. It gives me a forecasted goal date and tells me a "trending" weight for the week. I do experience many ups and downs, but my trending weight kind of keeps me focused on my overall progress. Plus, I compare a Monday weigh in to one before so I can remain positive that even though my weight jumped, it could still be less than that day the week before, if that makes any sense!
For some people, like you said, seeing a fluctuation on the scale could have a negative impact. Essentially, use your own judgement and do what works best for you and your goals!@cmhubbard92 So excited for you.

Not a majorly active day, but met the goals. We didn't have pizza, instead I ordered a cobb salad and had a small slice of cake. Was happy to fit everything into the day with some extra room to work with!
I have updated the spreadsheet with a new sheet for next week. I have combined the water and steps into one, in a way that will work for people that are only doing the water challenge or just the step challenge! It looks like it will be easier to input numbers!2 -

@ethelsmommy I hope Synthroid works for you. Thyroid problems are aweful.1

Found out today that my cat has late stage kidney disease. He is only 7. The news is devastating our family and as a result I totally lost it today. My diet consisted of 2 pumpkin spice lattes and an entire pack of oreos.
Working through this in a healthier way tomorrow.5 -
