    Yes! You are seeing that right. 2 lbs, my biggest loss in a LONGGGG time.
    Weekly steps: 18399 (really not good but I switched to cycling for some days)

    Welcome to new team members, I hope to step away from my computer at some point soon to catch up with everyone.

    About Me: 56 (almost 57) Post menopause, mother of 6, wife, CEO of software company that's trying to beat out our top national competitors. I am also a technical resource for our company meaning that I took a break from writing code to come log my weight loss. Going to be first time grandmother this year with babies in August and November. My husband is a type 1 diabetic (which is an impact to my sleep sometimes).

    How did I lose 2 lbs??? I stopped drinking alcohol on week days. I drank a protein breakfast 3 days instead of eating, and I ate very light lunches or dinners if I went over 250 calories at the other meal. I'm taking berberine and am careful to drink 1-2 cups of herbal tea before bed to control my craving for post dinner sweets. I'm walking and weight training, but I am not working out like a beast. Hubby and I do yoga for 15-20 minutes 4-6 mornings a week.

    I know that 2 lbs is not a lot for some of you, but I am thrilled. My birthday is in 9 days, I'm hoping to be down to 185 for that day. We have a trip planned to see the kids in June, if I could be down to 180 I would be ecstatic.

    Height? CONGRATULATIONS, by the way!

    I'm 5' 2"

    Steps (first part of the week)
    5/2 2000 (estimate--the day I spent digging for 1.5 hrs)
    5/3 6068
    5/4 8144
    5/5 6063
    5/6 6486

    to be honest, I'm adding a couple hundred to my count every day because I don't take my phone everywhere--the first hour of my day is walking around the house (going back to the bedroom three or four or five times because I forgot my glasses...and the husband needs to get up and I forgot my water--yes, there is a pattern...) and there is similar walking when I get home. And sometimes I bounce between coworkers' cubes or to the ladies downstairs without it, too. I should take it everywhere on an average day just to see.

    My numbers aren't awesome this week but they're not bad for someone who has spent half the week dizzy...

    YOU are awesome

    I’m a day late logging, I haven’t been tracking as well as I should but today’s a new day and I will hold myself accountable. This week I will track everything, and try for atleast 4x workouts.

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    I’m not having a good week- obviously! I’m a CPA and sick of tax season and I’ve definitely been eating my way through these last few days of it. The stupid thing is - if I was eating good I would feel better about myself so this adds to the bad feeling. I need to get back in touch with my feelings and how I’m handling things !! Sorry team.

    I have to acknowledge suspicion...I weighed 3 times and got 3 numbers. I went with the highest. I think the scale needs a new battery. I can't get to the battery so have to wait for my husband to get the tiny screw out. But hey! Back on challenge an 3 lbs! Grain of salt...or not...don't want water weight...

    Saw a good movie yesterday - Here Today with Billy Crystal. It's funny and sad at the same time. A comedy writer with dementia trying to deal with family issues and loss of memory.

    Not REALLY sure what’s causing this gain/maintenance. I’ve been on the Carnivore Diet since 4-27-21.

    Half a pound could be due to water retention, hormones, salt, sugar, illness, the weather, dehydration, your body readjusting to the diet you started less than two weeks ago... There's lots of things that fluctuate pretty regularly in our body just to keep everything functioning properly. I wouldn't worry about this :blush:

    @kandi3570 how is your daughter doing? I know you said she broke her leg a few weeks ago. She has my sympathy. Leg casts and the broken bones that require them are miserable.

    I suspect I would have that problem too on that sort of eating program...when I eat too much animal protien, things get...clogged. And I feel bad. And it is hard to do high protien with non-animal protien. Not impossble...but more committment than I have.

Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!! B)

    Happy Mother's Day everyone. I have been having a hard time getting into this page the last few days. I will have to go back to read all the posts. I had a busy day and just got home, got my food ready for tomorrow and I'm exhausted and cant wait for bed. I have a very busy week with doctors appointments for me and my son. I do plan on squeezing in some exercise.

    Hi All,

    I’m a little late but here is my update. I told myself I wouldn’t binge this week due to stress, and yet I found myself binging almost every day. I’m hoping to start fresh tomorrow. And tomorrow is gym day, so that usually helps me de-stress,

    ~~ May Week Two ~~

    Welcome to our second week, Team Weight No More! I hope everyone's month is going well so far - it's been an interesting one for me weather-wise, if nothing else.

    As we head into the summer months, it's time to reflect on the year we've had so far.
    How is everyone feeling about their 2021?


    Personally, I'm still optimistic about the year, even if there have been some discouraging events. I'm not entirely back on track, but I'm definitely closer to the right path. Maybe there's a puddle in the path or something, and that's why I haven't been on it recently.

    ~ Super Steppers ~

    Last week, we had eight members logging their steps, accomplishing an impressive 554,368 steps! On average, that is 69,296 steps per person, and about 9,899 steps per day per person, which is close to the formerly recommended 10,000 steps per day!


    Our leaderboard from last week...


    @annliz23 - 100,045 steps | 14,292 average
    @Calli1616 - 94,048 steps | 13,435 average (ended the week with a bang!)
    @kandi3570 - 89,949 steps | 12,850 average
    @ljdanny - 77,204 steps | 11,029 average
    @lennoncpa - 69,021 steps | 9,860 average
    @pacsnc6 - 48,273 steps | 6,896 average (our most consistent stepper!)
    @melaniedscott - 43,630 steps | 6,233 average
    @dbrinkmeyer - 32,198 steps | 4,600 average



    Looking at all of these steps is making my legs hurt! Or maybe that's the spin class? I don't know. It's definitely one of them.

    Wonderful work this week, folks. I'm amazed by how strong you are, and how much you push yourself to be active. Most people spend the majority of their day sitting, getting up just to eat, drink, use the bathroom, and sleep. Some of you (and me) used to be that person. It's incredible, how far you go throughout the day, and I don't want any of you to think that you're not doing anything, because you most definitely are.
