Greetings, LL100+ Team!
Apologies for the belated starting post this month - an awfully busy week at work last week. Welcome to our new members who joined us in the month of April; it's been wonderful to see some new faces and to get an infusion of energy into these boards lately
As we are now in the month of May, my thoughts are turning to spring, better weather, and being able to do things outside. While I know it will look very different than other years due to COVID, I can't help feeling hopeful at the promise of a new month and a new season. What is something you are looking forward to this month?
If you are new and want to join in, by all means, please do - we love to celebrate those losses with you! This is the standard format we try to use for these threads:
Name: (if you'd like to share)
My Numbers:
SW: Starting weight before you lost anything.
CW: Current weight at the beginning of the challenge.
GW: Goal weight for the month (what you would like to weigh at the end of the monthly challenge) Try to keep it realistic and SAFE!
LTGW: Lifetime goal weight ( What you would like to weigh at the end of your weight loss journey)
Weigh-ins: What days you will weigh-in; for example, Fridays
5/1/20 = (Fill out after each weigh-in.)
5/8/20 =
5/15/20 =
5/22/20 =
5/29/20 =
Total WL/G for the month= total weight lost or gained for the month

I will say I had two celebrations on 5/12 I had a follow up mammogram and ultrasound scheduled. Mammogram came back well enough I didn’t have to have the ultrasound. Yes!!

5/8/20 = 316.3 - Yep. This is what happens when you don't log, don't move, and eat all the things.
5/15/20 = 314.4 - Ok. Slightly better, but still need to get back to the whole "logging and moving" thing. It's amazing how well this works when I actually do it, but yet I'm easily able to convince myself that it will just magically happen when I don't. And then I have the scale to remind me that, "Oh, right. I needed to actually do it and it's not magic. Got it."
5/22/20 = 315.6 - And here we are eating all the things again. Must regroup for a strong finish next week.
