I’m here I’m here!! Sorry I’m trying to get back in the game! Please don’t forget about me! I’m stuck in a place where I can see and feel the clothes tightening but not mentally wanting to address the situation. My advise to everyone: never take a break from our team and MFP! Even if you have a lot going on!
Also I cracked my phone screen at the wedding reception while showing my beautiful grandmother how to do the “Whip” and the “Nae Nae” dance moves😆. So that didn’t help matters! Here’s some Pics

Had a good day yesterday, weather was good and I was able to get outside a couple of times taking a break from work. I miss days like that. Just a few more weeks...3 -
@Krysless2, thanks for the advice about not leaving MFP or this group. I know on those really bad days it is easier said than done, but once you make that first post, you do feel so much better and a lot more grounded. Love the wedding photos, especially the one with the bride and her daughter, I am assuming. And I also love the picture of the bride and her bridesmaids and the beautiful dresses that you all have chosen. In my day, all the bridesmaids dresses were identical, and that always bugged me. Instead, having different dresses in similar shades is so lovely! (And I also feel like your grandmother today, as I have never heard of the "Whip" or the "Nae Nae"!)1

Wednesday, February 24th
logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: no
I was just about headed out the door for a long anticipated pedicure (last one Jan. 2020) when my husband was dropped off by a co-worker. He had put his back out at work. I got him settled and still made my appointment. His parents dropped by in the afternoon (they were already stopping by for another work related reason) and they brought chocolates. I had some, and fit them into my calorie budget, but they sure don't fill you up like better food choices would have.3 -
MUAC for 2/24:
Tracked: yes
Under: no
Exercised: yes - 4.9 miles with pooch, spread out over two walks (20 minutes running, the rest walking)
I got the munchies late afternoon and made some bad food choices. I know next time to go straight for the Protein Shake. I was +301. Hopefully offsetting that, I exercised so much that I was completely worn out by 8 p.m.
I've had some professional frustrations lately. Being a part of this group is really helping. There are things I can't control, but I feel that, though I am still working on it, exercise and eating is something I can control.
@Krysless2 - Thank you for posting the wedding pictures - everyone looks fabulous. You can really see all the joy and love on this special day. Now that you are checking in, I know you'll be able to get back in the routine.
@annabananamc - How was your afternoon in the gardens with your bestie?
@HASWLRS - I hope your husband feels better soon. You did a great job staying under calories, even with the cookies. I'm glad you still kept your appointment. I think we need to take care of ourselves in these trying times. I have my eye on a workout item to buy when I get below 140 pounds--trying to decide between a cheerful yellow jacket or two super soft long-sleeved cotton shirts in pretty colors. My scale seems stuck between 141 and 143.

I will be stepping down as co captain and taking time off from the challenge. I wish you all success in your weight loss journey. I will miss this group. Keep working hard. I will continue to work towards my goals, as well. I don't doubt that I will be back. All of you have been so supportive and inspiring. Thank you for being here for me.
I am sure that Christine @cmhubbard92 would appreciate a volunteer to be co captain or to take up the MUAC.
I will get both last week's and this week's MUAC results up by the end of the week/beginning of next week.8 -
@brandi_84 - thank you so much for all you've done for our group! I may be able to help with the MUAC - what would that involve? @cmhubbard92 - I think that may help me stay engaged and focused next month!
@richmondwriter thank you for asking - I had the best day seeing my friend in the gardens, even though the pollen knocked me for a loop. I wore my mask a lot of the day which helped with pollen too! I took a couple risks (hugged my friend once without a mask on and sat about 3 feet away when we ate lunch), but mostly felt very safe and it was SO GOOD to talk for hours face to face.
I got a lot of steps in, and stayed under calories, but it was a very carbolicious day of nutrition.
SO, I have been analyzing and re-analyzing my lack of progress. I think for next month I will try to do more strenght exercises, and also lower carbs to lower my inflammation, which should also help with reactivity to pollen.
We shall see - I'm in for next month either way.

I am really sad to see you go. You were one of the few people I knew was always always going to respond to my posts when I needed a pick-me-up. I hope all is well and hope to see you here again one day.
Thank you0 -
@brandi_84 Thank you for everything you have done for our group and all of the encouraging words you have had for each one of us. I wish you well and hope to see you back here one day

PW: 199.2
CW: 200.8
**I don't understand the gain and it's frustrating. I weigh daily and stayed at 199.2 until yesterday I weighed in at 200.8 and stayed this morning. I exercise just about daily, I weigh al my food and track everything I eat. I feel like I let the team down each week, I either lose very little anymore or stay the same. I understand the closer I get to my goal it will slow down, but this is getting beyond frustrating. Just needed to get that out
Have a great Friday! 5 -
@mooreshelly09 You are not letting anyone down!! Stop that right now. I'm no expert but just for fun check the sodium and carb count for yesterday. If they're high it could be causing water retention. 🤷♀️2
