Last week 298.6
This week 296.7

Headed back in the right direction!

Excellent loss!

Username: missgyst
Weigh-in Day: Wednesday
Weigh-in week: 4
Starting Weight: 229.0
Previous weight: 221.2
Current weight: 219.4

So while I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to 10lbs for the 4th week weigh-in (so close!), I'm happy with my progress so far. My ultimate goal is probably one of the dumbest things you guys will ever read, but it's legit to me. I need to get my calves small enough to fit into ski boots without hurting me! I ruined my last trip to Whistler because I couldn't ski for more than 5 minutes at a time because the boots hurt so much. This has been an issue for years as I've gained weight, but never so bad as last March. I want to ski the Alps next year (which I had billed as my 50th birthday trip to sell my friends on going, turns out I'm only 46 and they know this, whoops!). Since it's probably going to be a once in a lifetime trip, I want to make sure that I get the best experience out of it. Of course, there's always the feeling better, less joint pain, fitting into clothes I have stored that are goals too... but the Matterhorn awaits!

I have to go back and see the last time I logged my steps. I'm awful at keeping up.

I’m just 3 minutes from my May plank challenge. And the last 3 days I’ve hit 3 miles (not always consecutively in 1 walk, but I’m going to count it for my challenge so that’s 3/5 for the week already!) it seems like I like challenges so... I’m thinking about my next one. Pushups? Pull-ups? Jump rope? I’m open to suggestions. I’m pretty lazy though, so something quick or easy to do while listening to a podcast is my preference (and I welcome podcast suggestions too). OK I’ve said enough! Good night!

I'm thinking of a jump rope challenge for myself. I recently did a couple of interval workouts alternating jumping rope with resistance training (squats, pushups, dips...). The jumping rope was pretty tough. Maybe other people would be interested too?

Ok ok. Want to make this a group challenge? Here’s what I’m thinking:
It’s a pure minutes-jump-roping challenge. So you track your own time and at the end of the week whoever did more minutes wins. Do it Thursday through Wednesday (EST), so we start tomorrow and the following week by Wednesday evening or Thursday morning (prior to noon EST) we post our time and whoever has more minutes gets mega-kudos from the team. Sound good? Post your minutes daily if that helps you or you want to brag about how well you’re doing 😉

Mind you I don’t look forward to jump rope. But I like competition, so I will definitely make an effort to win 😎

Well done on your amazing loss this month! You’ve done great! I love your goal to for into ski boots. We all have funny little goals like this and I think achieving these little side goals are more rewarding than scale goals. I’m here waiting for your steps. Lol. I’ll gladly add them as soon as you give them to me.

Check-In: Wednesday, May 27

•Log all food: Yes ✔️
•Under Calories: Yes ✔️
•Exercise: 5K run + Zumba ✔️
•Water: 3L ✔️
•Steps: 25,939 ✔️

Good morning team! Our visits went well yesterday and our realtor called this morning that one client came in with an offer. We will begin negotiations soon and hoping we have another offer so we can sell without losing too much money.

I am so tired after my crazy busy day yesterday. I still managed to get out for my run this morning. I’m only 2 runs away from completing my 100K’s run for May. 💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️. Today I’m going to do a bit of grocery shopping and homeschooling with the little one this afternoon. The scales are slowly going down this morning. I wish it would go down as fast as it went up 🙄

May goals:

•Log all food. The good the bad and the ugly!
•Stay on or under my allowed calorie goal.
•Do at least 30 minute workout each day.
•Drink at least 2L water each day.
•Reach at least 10,000 steps each day.

100K !!!!!!! That is so inspiring!! For June I'm going to take a page our of your book and start tracking the distances I run. You must feel such a sense of accomplishment when you hit your goal

Thank you. I actually first had a goal of 80 but then I saw how we I was doing and pushed it to 100. I’ve never done this before and I think I’m going to do it again In June. I feel so proud of myself. I still have 2 left and worried I’ll be too tired when I get up in the morning. The last 2 runs have been hard.

To be clear, the idea of jumping rope sounds terrible. But I’m in it to win it! Sure I’ll take the lead on this challenge. So far we’ve got:
Me
@888Angie888
@mari_moulin
Everyone’s tied with 0 minutes reported.

Question - will it be non stop minutes or accumulated minutes?

I would love to join you but my fake knee would not take jump rope. I had a knee replacement 3 years ago and there are certain limitations to what I can.

Maybe special recognition for the person who does the single longest nonstop jump rope session each week
