    @izzyred9400 I’m glad to hear you’re starting to feel better. We’ve had to isolate a couple times due to Covid exposure. I understand the desire to get out of the house.
    Congratulations on the loss this week!!

    @jazzadesigns We've all had those...hang in there...hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend!

    @izzyred9400 So glad you're test came back negative and that you're starting to feel better. Isolation will end soon and you'll feel better when you can get out a bit. Also, thanks for reporting in that you're ok since Storm Eunice came through...I've seen some of the pictures...insane how strong those winds were and with winds like that EVERYTHING becomes a flying weapon. Glad you had little damage and that you are ok!!

    @Beka3695 Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy your weekend!

    @wtbarunner Thanks for reporting your steps...you're numbers look great! I bet you're out walking right now!!!

    @jessicakrall8 yes I will sure to be glad to get outside again.Ive missed my walks,swims & the gym.The storm has been crazy,apparently alot of trees down near me.I actually saw a clip of people been knocked off their feet by the wind !!! So maybe it was the best week to stay at home.

    Hey @jennifersusanmcdougall ...I don't want you to feel that you're letting anyone down. Unfortunately ups and downs are a part of this crazy journey. You seem motivated to lose, so I'd suggest you stay, but if you feel you need a break, then I'll put in the request. I feel like if you could find some time to participate in a few of our discussions, challenges, it might make a different for yourself AND anything you share with the team, usually has the double affect of helping others in their issues as well. Think about it and let me know, but don't worry about disappointing anyone...just focus on your goals and ultimately the science has to balance out. Perhaps your body needs a shake up...something unusual to get it out of its routine. Let me know how I can help.

    @jennifersusanncdougall - I would like to join @jessicakrall8 in encouraging you to stay with the main group unless you have a specific goal in mind that moving to the support group might help you achieve.

    You aren’t disappointing any of us. We all move up and down in the short-term so the longer-term trajectory is what matters. In fact, the support group isn’t much different since we still weigh-in weekly. Whatever decision you make will work for the overall group. The decision is really more about which status is likely to make a positive difference for you. I’ve been through some long stalls so I’m cheering for you to stick with it either way!

    I love what @PatriceFitnessPal al but I want to make sure there's no confusion over the groups...Maintenance is where you've reached your goal weight and you set a range and stay within it...you still weigh in weekly for Maintenance. The Support Team is set up to allow people to take a brief respite from doing the weekly weigh-ins, and after such time, they return to the Active team and go back to weighing in.

    Never worry about disappointing any of us...we're all here to help each other along the journey and as we all know, the journey goes uphill and down...part of the package!

    Let me know what you decide @jennifersusanmcdougall as I just want to see you succeed in whatever goals you've set for yourself. We're here to help!

    Sunday
    PW: 210.2 lbs (previous weight)
    CW: 210.8 lbs (current weight)
    LTD 13.2 lbs (optional loss to date)

    Well, that is disappointing. I was hoping to see a zero in the middle column this week. On the upside, today marks my 8th week so it was measurement day (measure every 4 weeks) - chest, waist, hips and thighs. VICTORY! - Decreases all down the line!!! This week the scale may not show it but the tape measurer doesn't lie.

    To @jennifersusanmcdougall - I would like to add my encouragement to stay with the group. Personally, I have learned so much in the short time (8 weeks) I have joined. And an important lesson I am learning is the scale is not the only measurement of health - Activity, Nutrition, Environment, Head Voice ......
    In honesty, when I see a fellow teammate gain, I do not get upset. It actually makes me want to work a little harder so show a lost - my way saying "Its okay, I got ya." Please stay.

    I'm sadly letting the team down....
    I haven't been tracking my steps over the last several days and have misplaced my Fitbit (honestly!).

    Not doing any better in the wieght department:
    PW 136.4
    CW 137.2

    I actually got down to 135.8 this week but bounced back up again. It was my husband's birthday this weekend and made a cake and special meal which I enjoyed too much!
