@richmondwriter awesome job staying under! The rain has been pretty consistent here, as well... I am hoping it clears up here so we can get a nice walk with the pups!0 -

I woke up with a sore head. I did 31 minutes elliptical, hoping to do more later. My headache got progressively worse throughout the day and I ended up lying on my bed watching Netflix at 4pm till bedtime. The head feels ok today, so I should be good to workout today.. I hope!
I hope your head feels better today! I absolutely hate when that happens!1 -

So obviously we have rolled over to May, but a quick catch up for me... I think like a lot of us April was difficult and I, for one, was just happy to have not put on a few pounds. I have been super motivated this last week of April though, so happy to report my mini challenges for the last couple of days...
I posted Monday, right before the other one closed so I will start with Tuesday.

It was very rainy here this morning so our neighborhood workout was thwarted, but I am happy to say I did something I never do... I went for a run in the middle of the day. It was warm but it felt great. Added bonus, it got me up from my desk for a while and out into the Florida sunshine.
My weigh in day is Friday, but I guess I should say that my May starting weight is 130.
You might be behind on our posts but your ahead of the ball! Outstanding accountability for yourself! I like how you ventured out into that midday direct Florida sun and still got in activity for the day!
As far as the May start weight, yours rolled over from April as 131, so whatever you weigh in today is for May, week1.
You can see your progress in the May spreadsheet if you go here:

Weekends are always hard because we always make big lunches and desserts. But I am trying to not let that be an excuse. I also tend not to track. But I am so happy that I turned my weight gain around, I am motivated to keep working toward moving down the scale.2

My hubby made his extremely delicious, homemade Chinese chicken fried rice with curry sauce last night. I went on the scale (of doom) this morning, to witness the damage of the sodium and carbs and the scale is up. I weigh in tomorrow (Sunday) so am hoping that it will be gone and I will maintain this week.

I need to do better today! I ended up working on a puzzle yesterday, and completely lost track of time! I am going to either do both cardio fix (day 4) and dirty 30(day 5) so that I remain on track! I am pretty disappointed that I skipped something I was remaining pretty consistent with! I also have been over calories by 3-500 the last two days. Today will be different!1 -
My goal for the weekend is to get back into reporting my MUAC. I’ve actually been pretty good about meeting my goals - but not actually typing the results. But I’ll start today. Later today 😄1

Week1 Weigh-in
Username: Krysless2
Weigh in day: Sat, May2nd
Current week's weight:
154.9lbs
I can see that I'm going to have to work harder then ever before if I'm going to make it past the 150s. Im feeling a bit of that same pressure that I felt that led me to step away from TBBT last year. The good news is I was never this vocal or "present" in the group as I am now. So I hope I can keep this up!

@Krysless2 you've got this! A great weigh in to start the month! You can keep this up, just don't give yourself a hard time if things don't go as expected every week. You have been remaining very accountable, and doing all the right things!1 -

@brandi_84 I can totally relate to the weekends! I was so happy to see your weigh in this week! Things are moving in the right direction! Keep up the awesome work, and try your best this weekend! 0 -

Your name fell off the spreadsheet when they moved from April to May. If there is two missing weights the coordinators won't roll you over to the new month. I would say "lets just ask them to add you back as an exception?" but I do believe they are struggling to respond to Christine's requests as of lately. ( @cmhubbard92 ; what do you think? )0 -

I have the same problem; I'm suggesting you push back your eating start time with me! That's the only thing that helps me on the weekends(and I still go over by 1k+ calories sometime)0 -

Dont be!! Maybe now's the time to look ahead at the new week coming and tweak your plan; here are my thoughts(from my past experiences with plateaus and suggestions that could help) -Look at your sodium over the past week(thats whats great about MFP);
-Switch up your exercise(your body may be getting used to the same routine);
and most importantly,
-You might not be hitting the "under calorie" goal as much as you might think! Especially if you are entering your exercises manually(a fitbit helped me with this substantially)
However, Even if you continue on this steady path you are on, it looks like you will be closer to 160 then you will be 170 by end of June! So as Dory might say: Just keep Swimming!!2 -
