No fear! We all have fluctuation. This could be the result of higher than normal sodium. My husband LOVES Chinese and pizza. We eat chinese and my weight spikes 4 lbs for 3 days. Paying attention is how we learn to make lasting change.
And, hey, that's 25lbs less than mine.
Also, unrelated...am I the only person who finds the new(ish) Charmin campaign deeply disturbing? Blue bears, first. Bears are NOT blue. Second...Bears rubbing TP on their faces. A) ew!
they wouldn't feel it...the fur would block and feeling in that regard. C) EW! And, lastly, Enjoy the Go. Really?! That's your slogan? Sqwick!
Sorry. Candy Crush just played the comnercial again. So disturbing.4 -

Was just looking at my "Habit Tracker" goals for the month and surprised myself how many days I hit the number for protein. Also the number of days I beat the step count. Pleasantly surprised!
I had another dose of Keytruda on Thursday - hopefully getting closer to ending this journey through cancer. The next scan is a month away and I am hoping to hear the cancer is gone or so close to it (it was 90% or more reduced after the last scan).I am feeling good and eating whatever I want. Yes, I am trying to keep it healthy so I can maintain my weight - though it does vary a few pounds each month. I am working on that!3 -

We went camping this weekend. We had a great time. Went kayaking, that was a lot of fun so I didnt get too many steps in. Didn't drink that much which I was proud of myself. May do it again soon. Our pool should be open for this coming weekend. My granddaughter has already been trying to get in it, she doesn't care if its dirty. She is having the best time. We have a hottub that attaches to the pool and it has an insert that turns it into a kiddie pool so she went crazy today. She's 1 1/2 and I'm sure we will find her jumping off the diving board. My friend gave me a floatie for her. Should be a great summer.1

So sad to see you go. You've always been such a great source of light and motivation for this group. If you ever need anything from us, anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask. And, obviously, you are welcome back at any time. You'll surely be missed.
Congrats to our Winners from Last Week!:
@twyla77 -
Welcome back! Think I remember seeing you around these parts at the end of summer last year - so glad to have you with us again! Things haven't changed too much, but there are some lovely new folks to meet. Can't wait to get to know you all over again

Hi pals, I will be stepping aside as team motivator and leaving the team. I’ve been struggling these past few months and I am finding that what I have been doing and found past success with, is no longer working. I’m going to try something new, and focus on the psychology of overeating and see if that is the boost I need. I will miss you guys! Thank you to the coaches for their help and encouragement. Take care !5

I just had my latest favorite meal. Raw veggies with ranch and chicken with peach, pineapple, chipotle salsa with some mozzerella. 451 calories. It’s not crazy hot here today. But again the only thing that sounded good. My garden is in and growing from the rain today. I’m excited to get some of my own veggies. I tried something new this year too I planted watermelon on a little hill in the back of my garden. So it doesn’t choke out my other plants. There’s nothing better than fresh zucchini green pepper and onions. All of my flowers beds are done. I’m just waiting on the final roof fix so I can finish my back patio.2

Hi! Thanks for letting me come back to the team!
Can't wait to get to reconnect with those who were here before, and get to know all the new (to me) names and faces!

Just realized I didn't post steps for Sat: 3,125.
I'm really not walking enough, as is evidenced by my low steps...part of that the last week has been the rain. It has rained most every day for the past 9...10? days. The ground is saturated. Weeding Sunday was interesting.
Heading into one of the two busiest times of the year for help calls & emails at work, so I have to put in extra effort to not sit at my desk all day and try to get an evening walk, too. Walked the graveyard last night, which was nice.
Is 2:45 am here...don't know why I'm awake...off to try for a bit more shut eye...4 -
~~ Happy May Week Four ~~
Welcome to week four, everybody! Hope everyone is ready for fast-approaching June. I'm not ready to go back to the office in a couple weeks, but I figure if I keep pretending it isn't happening, it won't suck as much to have to put on pants with buttons every single day.
~ Walking Warriors ~
Our mighty team of seven walked an astounding 438,786 steps! This is an average of 62,684 steps per person. Every single week, these lovely folks get on their walking shoes and absolutely destroy these step counts. Keep up the incredible work and dedication!
Here's our leaderboard for this week:
Over 10k Steps a Day:
@kandi3570 - 82,171 total - 11,739 average
@annliz23 - 74,984 total - 10,712 average - Highest Step Count in One Day!
Over 5k Steps a Day:
@ljdanny - 69,866 total - 9,981 average
@dbrinkmeyer - 67,296 total - 9,614 average
@lennoncpa - 57,309 total - 8,187 average
@pacsnc - 49,682 total - 7,097 average - Most Consistent Stepper!
@melaniedscott - 37,478 total - 5,354 average
Personally, I think you're all just training for the zombie apocalypse...

According to the scale, I’m on track to lose two pounds this week. Woohoo! Only Friday will tell. I can’t wait. I have a vacation planned... first one since summer 2019. During it I plan on sticking to my diet and getting a few workouts in. I’m not going to mess up all the hard work I put in the past six months. I’m on track to be at my ideal weight by the end of August.3

Hi everyone,
I've just stumbled upon this Group Challenge and I thought it would really be something for me.
A brief introduction: I'm 51 and I live in Belgium. I've been a yoyo-er ever since I left home to go to university. I gained a solid 15 kg (33 pounds) in just a few months. My highest weight was in my 30's which was 92kg. Ever since I've been going up and down, although since finding MFP I've hardly been over 78kg. I'm now approaching maintenance weight for the umpteenth time and determined to stay there for once and for all.
I have a desk job, but I'm normally very active: scuba diving on my free days and biking to work on workdays. Alas, since Covid my only activity has been walking and a bit of cycling (the weather is still horrible here). The consequence is that I had to cut down on cals, and that is something I'm ... well ... not so good at.
Looking forward to this challenge !!

May Week Four
Weigh In Day: Thursdays
PW (Previous Weight): 169.6 (May 20th)
CW (Current Weight): 169.2 (May 27th)
LTD (Loss to Date): 64.8 lbs
Small loss, and I'll take it. I saw some smaller numbers earlier this week, but don't think this slight increase is indicative of anything beyond water retention from pushing myself pretty hard this week.
Food:
I've been eating well. Haven't really indulged into too many foods that were "bad" over the past week, and it's almost watermelon season at the farmer's market, so I'll be doing even better (and staying hydrated!) soon enough. Can't really complain too much, can't say I've committed any major acts of self sabotage...
Heck, I'm just excited to have found a protein powder blueberry muffin in a mug recipe I don't hate.
Exercise:
Given some of the drama that has occurred at the spin studio, and some schedule changes with my favorite instructors, I'm going to be shifting my schedule a bit when it comes to spinning. Some of this is to accommodate going back into the office as of June 15th, but some of it is also to support my mental health, because a safe place no longer feels as safe when you're spending it trying to avoid conflict.
As for functional training, I can see and feel myself growing stronger, regardless of how much weight I may or may not have lost. I have yet to assess my limits, but I will get there soon enough, I'm sure.
Mindset:
Things are weird, people are weird, life is weird. Sometimes all we can do is roll with the punches and take control where we can.3 -

Thursday weigh in
week 4
pw: 161.8
cw: 161.1
Surprised by to day's weight, dropped about a pound since Tuesday! And another surprise -I measured my hips yesterday at 42" - I have lost 3" which shows it pays for me to eat more protein, less fat and carbs4 -
Ashley, I love your Mindset! I’m going to let that be my mantra. Would it be so wrong to add that I’m weird too? Is that what you mean when you say life is weird?
“Things are weird, people are weird, <I’m weird>, life is weird.” The best I can do is to roll with the punches and take control where I can.
The hard part for me is figuring out where I need and can take control. And knowing when I should “roll with the punches”.3 -
