    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.

    Day: All last week I was pretty lazy and unmotivated because my weight was staying consistent. Well, it increased significantly this morning. I guess it all caught back up to me this morning lol. Nervous for my weigh-in tomorrow.

    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.
