TEAM: The Big Butt Theory (February)

Time of Death: Worst timing EVER, actually!
I paid $250 for this treadmill thru FB marketplace and it was the best purchase I have ever made. It kept me on my track to a 60lb loss. I used to take it for granted and give all my credit to MFP and Keto but alas it was also my Buddy the treadmill that kept up my motivation. RIP Buddy! I am truly worried now that I’m going to start ballooning out..I have already decided to finance and ordered a new unused Proform but there’s a COVID related delay in the delivery(due to high demand) so hopefully I can get my butt to the gym in the interim.
@Krysless2 😱 that's so sad. I had an issue with my spin bike earlier this week but my husband was able to fix it. So glad it wasn't fatal. I've been looking at a Peloton but they are several months behind in shipping also. I suppose I really SHOULD order one before my generic bike fails for good. Come on Spring!! 🌷1 -
I'm ready to be back on track and forget about all of the other things that I let interfere with my success. I know I will thank myself this summer when it's hot outside. I have been holding steady, but my goal when I started was to lose weight and build strength. Meal planning and batch cooking starts today. I need to protect my time for fitness and my health comes first. #startingforreal ... going to be a team player for March!4

This team has been so helpful in getting me through some extremely hard times in weight loss and just life in general. I Thank everyone for their willingness to help and share aspects of their own lives to benefit someone else. I definitely want to participate in March.
What do I need to do to join?3 -

@aquitteriamnot , you are automatically rolled over to the March Challenge, so you need to do nothing, except continue with your weight loss efforts!0 -

@RoseyandReady , lovin' your enthusiasm!! There's something about March, and spring being just around the corner, that seems to give everyone a boost of positive energy and optimism! There's five weeks in the March Challenge.....we can do a lot of damage on the scales in five weeks!!1 -

At 4:30 this morning, when I realized I was too awake and too hungry to fall back to sleep, I got up and weighed myself, knowing I was going to go downstairs and consume something. The scales gave me many different readings, even a slight gain (!), but I settled on the same as last week. I did come downstairs and I ended up having a nice warm hot chocolate seeing as most homes are pretty cold in the middle of the night, on purpose. I went back to bed at 7ish and when I finally got up for good around 11 (yes, the day is screwed), I weighed myself again and it said 171.2. So, that's the one I am going to use. (A little concerned about the accuracy of it, though).
WEIGH-IN
Last Saturday: 172.0
Today: 171.2
Not quite the whole pound, but seeing as I am not doing much exercise this week and have very few real exercise calories to create a bigger deficit, it is about the right rate. I think I have concluded that steps without active zone minutes are not the same as the identical number of steps with active zone minutes. The latter obviously burns more calories.
Nice loss!1 -

Hmmm, I found the March weigh-in sheet for the competition but I'm not on it. So, maybe I missed something?0

Wrapping up Saturday - we did a lot of home jobs and gardening so I didn't make the steps. Still battling some knee issues but think I have a plan for that!

@maryc11, good catch. No, you didn't miss anything; it was just an omission in transferring over. You are still on the team, I promise! Just be patient...they'll get your name on there!0 -

@maryc11 The way the transfer works is we copy the last 2 weeks of the challenge and hadn't transferred over Week 4's weights yet and as there was not a weight recorded for Week 3, the formula had not pulled your information back into the sheet. This fixes itself when Week 4 weights are added to the sheet, which I had not done this week due to a personal loss and have not been able to keep up with the weights daily as I normally try to.3 -
