A suggestion. Maybe create a spreadsheet where we can log weights in individually.1

This was attempted several years ago. With 200+ people having access to a spreadsheet, it is a full time job correcting where someone messes up the formulas. This is why only captains and mods have access.
First of a new year always has a few hiccups... it will get smoother.2 -
Weigh in Wednesday:
PW: 152.0
CW: 153.4
Well, this is not the way to go. But I'm having stomach issues and not sure WTH is going on w/my digestive system- I feel bloated and upset; hopefully, this works itself out - I have been consistent with my workouts and tracking what I'm eating-maybe too many veggies-my stomach doesn't take kindly to having too much fiber intake.
Sorry☹5 -

As Beka noted.... the 1st week is always crazy... let alone the first week of a new year. Plus we have over 30 members this month. Sorry on the ones I missed and needed reposted. Gotta remember though, we do this because we love the group and want us all to do and be better. We are not paid for this. I for one work 2 jobs, so sometimes I am not as present as Id like to be.

No apologies!!! Take care of yourself!!!! Try some magnesium citrate. It works wonders for me for occasional bloat and to get things moving again. I like the gummies because I’m a child and can’t take a real vitamin2 -
My Wednesday check in. This week has been a rough start. My main job is a Supervisor of an IT desk. Its the beginning of a new year which means payroll issues, reporting issues, and we are merging with a new company this month. I have barely left my desk... but I will say, my food is on point thus far. It really does prove to me that I can do better when I actually prep and not just wonder around the kitchen.
My part time job is a pharmacy tech, which is also a lot of work at the beginning of a year because everyone's insurance is changing and people get all worked up that it takes us longer to get through that. One piece of advice when visiting a pharmacy right now... please keep that in mind of there will be delays due to this, and try to be kinder to us... We are constantly nagged about when will the Covid vaccine be available to the public. We do not know. You will know right around when we do.7 -

I 2nd the gummies and you can usually find them on Amazon for a BOGO deal. The taste is kinda tart to me but def help with some bloating.1 -

Highest weight 176 lbs. Not good for a 5'2" person.1 -
So far I've been on-track with my calories this week! I want to weigh myself early, but I told myself I'd limit myself to once a week so I didn't worry too much about the daily flux. Staying strong, and reading all your guys posts for inspiration!

Well, the past two days have been a dumpster fire. Tuesday was a lot of random snacking, but I decided to excuse that and Wednesday as getting rid of last of the Christmas chocolate. Thought I was done with the munchies for the day/week on Wednesday night, until my husband bought a giant chocolate bar for some reason and half an hour later the news exploded. I stress ate almost the entire chocolate bar. Not good. Also didn't make it to bed until 2AM as I doomscrolled all possible news outlets and was way too wound up to sleep. Great start to the workday today.

Good morning crew!!!
@hipari alluded to Yesterday’s train wreck above. She is absolutely right, this is not the forum to air political beliefs, grievances, or anything else. Please keep your political thoughts to those forums.
However, it is very fair to say “I had a stressful day today and binged.” Considering probably +75% of us are in the US, we will understand.
Let’s all just keep it nice!!!
Thank you!!4 -

I totally support your choice to weigh once a week. I’m the other extreme. I weigh every day. I’ve been on the journey for a while and have embraced the fluctuations.
Yep, I’m a nerd and have a spreadsheet for that, too!!!! My goal for myself was to be under 170 for the week by my Saturday weigh in... I was 169.8 this am. Yay me!!!
The bottom line is, do what makes YOU feel comfortable!! You got this and we are here to cheer you on!!!

The world around us impacts us. Watching news around the world is stressful. We are all under an insane amount of pressure just from that!! Yesterday was a hard day to watch no matter what your views are. @hipari I had to turn it all off. It's all noise. Stress I don't want or need!! Don't let it get to you!!! If you ever need to vent or get it all out send me a message I'll listen!! 😻😻5

We are on the same track, from the Christmas candy to the doomscrolling after bedtime. My son moved to DC in September so once I heard the news I was naturally very concerned. Fortunately he doesn’t live very near the Capitol, but he does live near some hotels and I worried things would get tense after curfew. Basically, my productivity for the day went out the window after lunch. So I got up this morning to another one pound gain and this is just not acceptable. Plus, we are going to Houston to celebrate my daughter’s birthday this weekend so that’s basically three days of eating out and around 9 hours sitting in the car over the weekend. I’ve just gotta keep stable over the weekend and my January 1 will start on Monday.

Yesterday I kept on track, thankfully, but mentally and emotionally exhausted from yesterday-too much☹ I watched it too much....shame on me so tuning it out today to keep my sanity.
I was soooooo exhausted I debated on cancelling my barre class @ 2AM b/c it was 4 hours before my class; otherwise, I'm charged $15 for cancelling less than 4 hours.....BUT I WENT!!!
That makes 6 days in a row for barre😘4 -
Good morning y'all. I totally agree with all of you about the importance of acknowledging stressful events, and that they can happen in our lives, no matter your views. I'm your Canadian friend from the north offering everyone support in these stressful times.
Thanks for the notes on magnesium citrate. I have issues from time to time, and sometimes the over the counter pharmacy options are too much for me. I've actually missed work after taking an over night thing the night before. They are not my friend. So, I did some research on food high in fiber. I bought prunes and other foods to help, and they do, but it'd be nice and easy to have something like a gummy on hand if I need it. I'm gonna go buy some!
I had a bit of a 'whoosh' this week! I'm not yet back to where I was the beginning of December, but I am creeping my way out of the funk I was in. I'm getting closer to reestablishing my routines I had prior to December, and I'm looking forward to feeling that. I love routine and thrive in it.
