    Hi everyone!
    I was thinking if our late weigh ins effected competition means we all should weigh in on satarday morning 🤔.....anyway I am going to weigh in on satarday mornings from now on, or I will never become a winner 🦹🏻‍♀️....😂

    You should definitely weigh in on whatever day works best for you! But, its less about which day of the week and more about weighing in within the week of the competition. So far, all of your weights have counted towards the competition.

    So for this competition the weeks have been as follows:

    Week 1: Feb 2 - Feb 8
    Week 2: Feb 9 - Feb 15
    Week 3: Feb 16 - Feb 22
    Week 4: Feb 23 - Feb 29

    Last week's issue with late weigh ins was that there were weights due by Feb 15 that weren't posted until Feb 16, so the deadline to be counted was missed. Does that make sense?

    Again, if its easiest for you to weigh in on Saturdays, then definitely do that. I just don't want anyone to get confused about whether their weigh-ins have been counted or not.

    Sorry I'm a day late. This weight was yesterday (actually late Wednesday) I just didn't get a chance to post.

    I saw my naturopath today and we are making major changes in my diet. I'm hoping this will help me stay more consistent as Itll also help me identify what my problem foods are. I was doing Keto, and I started in 2017 with a 20+ lb weight loss. I've had to remove some keto stables from my diet making it more hard to get the fats and I have a poor immune system so I need the antioxidants of berries and vitamin C of other fruits. I'm switching to Paleo and may do the Autoimmune Protocol. Anyone on this now and have any pointers for starting?

    I'm going out if town next week and I'm going to eat like I usually eat. When I get back my self acclaimed chef friend and I are going to meal plan, shop, and prep together. I'll have to make modifications of course, but atleast I'll have some support. She already is a boss at prepping.

    Sorry I've been distant from the group. I've been just coming and weighing in the past few weeks. I've been fighting some health things and got a little overwhelmed with it all. I needed a break from having to make sure everything was logged over my few apps. I'm cycle tracking as well as supplement tracking. Hoping after next week to get back to daily tracking.

    Disappointed to see a step backwards but not too concerned - 1 week doesn't make a trend.

    I'm feeling pretty down. This month marks 1 year since joining mfp. I lost 30-35 lbs in the first 4/5 months and since then been losing and regaining the same 5 lbs. I just can't seem to get into THAT zone again. I remember at the time, when I joined, thinking I can lose all the excess weight in 1 year. Yet here I am 1 year later....
    URGH
    So depressing to think I could have easily lost that last 30 lbs if only I'd stuck to the plan...

    Look at how far you’ve come. While you may not have lost more since the beginning,you have been able to maintain. This is a huge deal because it shows you have what it takes to maintain for the rest of your life. Please don’t give up! We all support each other.

    Thank you @skullsandskeletons for your kind words. I feel like giving up (ate loads of cookies this morning, and cheesecake!) But I'll dust myself off and try again. You're right about maintaining, that is a good way of looking at it.
    No point giving up, I know what'll happen then!

    Hi team! This is our last week of the challenge, that being said I think I will step away as captain and from the challenge next month. I’m going to spend a month eating intuitively and really solidifying an exercise routine. I plan to not step on the scale at all if I can manage. My mental health just needs a break from the numbers. Not giving up on the journey, just restructuring it, and then deciding where to go from there. Might need to get back to tracking after that, but hopefully i will be refreshed and ready to tackle the last 20 pounds after a month break.

    If anyone is interested in taking over the role and helping @AmyG1982 let me know! I’m also happy to answer any questions you might have.

    I completely get that, that's somewhat what I've been doing after starting to realize how bad my relationship with food was and discovering the Half Size Me podcast and I'm only recently really coming back to the numbers in a new way. Good luck!

    Oh maybe i should listen to that! I am pretty panicked because the numbers have been a control issue for me for the past year and giving up that level of “control” is making me nervous. But i know i need to do that. Otherwise I’m going to end up burning myself out to the point of completely giving up. Since this is for a life, a month without numbers isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things so I’m trying to think of it in that framework instead of thinking how long this will prolong me from achieving my goal.

    Thank you for the words of encouragement! Like i said not tracking really gives me anxiety but tracking is also messing with my mental health so i feel very stuck. Refocusing on exercise and having a balance approach to food outside of the number is what i hope will be the answer

    Hi! You are automatically rolled over as long as you weigh in this week. :smile: your new starting weight will just be your weigh in weight this week.
