    Happy Tuesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:

    4/25:
    Calories: 1,199
    Exercise: 6-mile jog
    Steps: 18,246

    My MFP login still isn't working properly - @tahm42 thanks so much for letting me know it's a sitewide problem - I contacted the help desk and am hoping they will be able to fix it.

    I hope you're all having a great day!

    Hello everyone. I have been getting my head in order.
    Here is a recap of the month so far:
    Fri WI Starting Weight 260. My highest ever.
    1: 4/1 256 (Phew!)
    2: 4/8 255 (Just keep swimming.)
    3: 4/15 254.5 (A little at a time is all I need.)
    4: 4/22 254 (That's right, stay calm.)
    5: 4/29

    I had to break away from the scale while I was retooling my eating plan. I cannot weigh and measure my food and myself obsessively every day, even though sometimes I am still tempted. I wish mfp had a servings checklist type of journal where it did not count calories. But no matter, that is what I am doing now, and I am focusing on eating like a normal person at every meal and NEVER overeating. Never. I just can't load up at one meal in anticipation of another or because I am super hungry from having skipped a meal. I am very excited; things are moving in the right direction and I am learning to love myself and be a better person in this process. Thank you to all of you for keeping going towards your goals. Your dedication to keep coming back inspires me!

    Hello all.

    Sorry I missed weigh in last week.

    I was busy with a wedding and didn't weigh in. I have been unwell since Sunday evening and that caused some binges till yesterday. Feeling much better today.I should be able to put in my weight this Saturday.Hope you are all well.

    There is a post when you open the community tab talking about ongoing issues. I haven’t read it but it may give you some insight to the problems with the app. Another stellar day.

    @MeowScout
    I will get your weights added. I think with weight loss we have to do what works for us as individuals. Your idea of a serving check list sounds like weight watchers. It’s been years since I did WW so I am not sure what the current plan is like. It also costs money. You are losing weight so you are doing something right.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Nice walk!

    @aactuallyaash
    That is frustrating. Having clothes on would definitely add weight.

    @tahm42
    When do you go away?

    @28Haveitall2020
    I will mark you excused for last week. I am glad you are feeling better.

    Good morning all. Off to pre op in a couple minutes. Had to reschedule jury duty.
    Check in for 4/26:
    Steps - 11077
    Calories - 1803 or close. Still trying to log all my snacking.
    Exercise - pickleball. Played 6 games in 2 hours. At least I didn't hurt myself this time.

    What a long day yesterday! I was in line for almost 7 hours. I will get my passport within 10 days which is plenty of time before my trip. I am so glad to get to the pool today. I haven’t decided what I will do but I am aiming for an hour of exercise.

    Good luck with pre op. Awesome exercise. Don’t forget to let me know your maintenance range so I can get you moved to maintenance next month.

    Happy Wednesday, Downsizers! Well...it finally happened...for the first time since I started this journey in April of last year: I gained weight. I can't believe it - I stayed at 1,200 calories each day and I have exercised for at least 70 minutes every day. I knew it would happen eventually - but I'm a little shocked that it happened when I was completely on plan. I won't let it get me down - I had an awesome exercise session this morning and my meals are already made so that I stay within my calorie range.

    PW: 143.3
    CW: 144.3 (+1)
    SW: 250

    4/26:
    Calories: 1,269
    Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical
    Steps: 12,411

    @lallstar and @ldyhawk Welcome to the best team! We are so glad to have you join us!

    @28Haveitall2020 I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well - binges happen - just try to get right back on plan once you feel better

    @aactuallyaash I need to look things the way you do: the scale is just one type of measure

    @tahm42 and @lindamtuck2018 I'm still not able to login from my app - I will try to find the community tab to see if there is any insight as to when this issue will be cleared up

    @rwood566 Good luck with your pre-op appointment - please let us know how it goes!

    Ok - time to get back to work - I hope you all have a wonderful day!
