    It stayed mostly dry which makes a change for a national holiday weekend! Had a lovely walk down at the beach with the fam, nice bike ride this morning, cooked all weekend to give my SO a break, it was also nice to sit around the table together.

    Back to work tomorrow which is good as too much of this fun thing and I might get used to it :wink:

    Hope you all had a good one!

    Hi fellow shrinkers! This will be my second month participating in the challenge. It's so helpful to be in a group like this where I can be accountable. Last week I was struggling a bit and wrote a blog post about it. Here's the link if you think it might be helpful. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/coblujay/view?id=the-weight-loss-grumps-a-twelve-week-update-995464 After figuring out what was going on, I'm back on track and ready for this next round. Even with the frustration I experienced, I'm planning to make this the last time I have to focus on losing weight...maintaining will be its own struggle when the time comes, but I plan to get there.

    PW 235
    CW 233.4

    Yesterday was swimming and a good walk with my dogs, which added about 700 calories to my bank. I don't usually eat back all the exercise calories, but love having the extra cushion. I also focused on drinking my water and eating early. Hoping for another good month.

    Hi Ashley! If you don't mind, would you please post your weigh ins in lbs. Our spreadsheet for tracking is designed to lbs as the standard. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Hi Guys,

    This post is for the newcomers and a reminder to the veterans...
    Please do not use the INSIGHTFUL button to respond to someone's weigh in. Captains us this button to let the other captain/mods know that the weigh in has been posted to the spreadsheet.

    Feel free to use it on regular 'discussion' posts. Also, please be mindful of the "DISAGREE" button. It appears that it was accidentally used several times last month. For example - disagree was hit on a weigh in. It was hurtful to the challenger.

    Let's have an awesome month!!!

    @coblujay - Thanks for sharing your blog post … and modeling great determination for all of us! I also count on exercise calories each day so I can eat a small snack without feeling deprived when I want a little energy boost in the late afternoon.

    Congratulations on your progress on the following:

    “-Actually lost weight on my vacation and spent lots of time hiking with loved ones on incredibly beautiful trails in Tennessee
    -Down to size 20 regular in my jeans
    -Took time to really assess where my frustration came from and made a good plan
    -Logged for 88 days on MFP
    -Finished my longest hike for the season - 5.83 miles, elevation gain 919 ft.” (coblujay’s blog)

    That’s fantastic! You really reflected on what was working and not working to solve the problem, take action and benefit from the adjustments. Great work!! … and thanks for taking the time to share what you learned so we can all learn with and from you!

    Thank you @PatriceFitnessPal I'm glad it's helpful. I decided to track my journey on the blog so that I can remember where I've come from when things get a bit discouraging. It's a good reminder that I'm making great progress and I need to celebrate. :)

    To Everyone:

    When sending out a Friend Request - could you please mention that you are part of the group, that way I don't have to think do I really need another FR.
    Thank you
