    I prefer weighing myself on Monday mornings but if the group has a specific day for a weigh-in, do let me know.
    I also need help with my diet, and I am only being able to HIIT workouts at home and no weight training as I don’t have dumbells and the gyms are closed here in Mumbai, any advice would help, thanks

    HI and welcome to the group! Mondays will be fine -- you can choose your own date and change it later if you like.

    I would ask that you please post the weigh ins in pounds. @boehle and I are products of the US public education system and don't convert metric to imperial well... LOL

    @krupalip and @Beka3695 - yep, as a fellow kg-to-pound converter I have an app on my phone and it does get annoying sometimes, but I found the perfect upside! In addition to actually learning to do ballpark conversions in my head, I now have double the amount of mini milestone and victories.

    I really thought I would break through this plateau this week. But I ate fast food twice on Wednesday (and eating subs really makes me feel *awful* now). Then ate fast food again yesterday (though within calories) because my husband was in a glider accident yesterday and I had to drive 35 miles to the ER to pick him up. He broke his back so today we hope to get him scheduled to see a specialist.

    But-an NSV! I’ve been working out 3x week and my knee has improved. Even though I haven’t lost weight, my shorts were falling off of me yesterday so today I tried on my “skinny shorts”. The last time I tried them on, I could zip them up but they were tight. But this morning they fit!!

    Hi, new to the team challenge and very excited : ) I'm a mom of three and started the weigh loss journey in June 2020, after my youngest one turned 1yr old. I have lost so far 16lbs but have a long way to go to get to my healthy weight, that why I need your help and support.
    CW 214lbs
    Aug Goal Weight 200lbs (hoping I can hit the onederland)

    You lost 16lbs since June 2020, so in two months? Averaging 2lb per week? Damn, girl. Looks like we have a new powerhouse in the team, welcome!

    Btw, I’m very similar size to you - I’m currently 212-213lbs. My loss is a lot slower, but the important thing is that it’s still a continuous steady loss.

    I wish I was a powerhouse, but the first 10lbs loss was mainly water... right now I am averaging around 1lb a week. That's why I am here : ) to get some motivation and push . I agree, continuous loss and staying consistent is the name of the game

    So, last day of July came and went. My husband and I had great plans on going to the gym today. We did end up getting physically active but in a way that’s definitely not gym appropriate... then, we tried to go to the gym again, and it happened again... This is great for our marriage, but not for our muscles. This isn’t the first day it happened either, so there’s a very specific procrastination pattern emerging. Better than most procrastination, but the end result is still no gym.

    I made up for it by going for a long walk tonight, so I hit my calorie goal for the day and even got a somewhat decent deficit despite staying in bed for most of the day.

    TEAM PEP TALK
    Last week was not stellar... As a group we had a loss of 5.8 lbs. That is an average loss of 0.29 lbs per person :(

    I had a zero loss last week, too -- so this little talk is addressed to me as much as anyone else!!! After I posted weight on Saturday AM I was txting with @boehle about how we need to get our acts together.

    I committed to her a TWO POUND WEEK. There it is - tossed out into the universe for all to see and hear! I am committing to being 194.4 by Saturday weigh in. She committed to a THREE POUND WEEK and weighing in at 172.

    ANYONE ELSE WANT TO GET IN ON THE COMMITMENT?

    If your weight day is early in the week -- make the commitment to the next weigh day.

    I want to see our team at the top of the leader board!!!! YOU????





    @hipari that makes total sense to me! Classical conditioning - like Pavlov's Dog! I am thinking how I can incorporate something similar.... Hmmm

    @Xiaolongbao -Welcome to the team!!!

    I’m in!!!

    Now finally going the right way. Been increasing walking, need more focus on food choices and measuring and logging. Just found out I am back to working from home for the month of August. So I plan to take advantage of being able to prepare healthy food and more exercise.

    Didn't quite make my 207 goal - but definitely went in the right direction, had a great week, and am completely satisfied with results. Thanks for putting out a challenge because it definitely helped me focus.

    Next week's goal - 206.2
