@thenextloser135 - Perfect. You are all set! I used 243 as your starting weight, and your weigh in for the first two weeks of this month, so you should be taken care of from a spreadsheet perspective. Feel free to introduce yourself to the new members if you're up for it, and let us know if there's anything we can do to keep you on track!
As for me this week...minstrelofsarcasm
June Week Two
Weigh In Day:Tuesdays
PW (Previous Weight): 176.2 (May 31st)
CW (Current Weight): 173 (June 7th)
LTD (Loss to Date): 61 lbs
That's more like it. I've been in a weird state lately, given I don't have a gym membership and need to rely on myself and whatnot (I wrote a whole blog post on this yesterday, so I won't go into detail here right now). But I've had some time to really focus in on my eating habits, and I think that's helped me shed off the post-Vegas bloat.
Did I actually burn an extra 10k calories in the past week? Doubt it. But did I help my body recover and release some water it was holding onto? Absolutely.
There's a corporate event at work this week, and I've got a big presentation on Thursday in front of a bunch of people who make way bigger decisions (and more money) than I do, so we'll see how the stress affects me in my weigh-in next week.3 -
Weigh In Day: Tuesday
PW (Previous Weight):178.6
CW (Current Weight):178.2
With the exercise I can see my body slimming down and I am happy for that even though the scale doesn't mark that difference.4 -
hey everyone, im from Missouri and am ready to get back on track. I look forward to losing about 30 lbs.4

So, to catch up those of you who are new (so the rest of my post makes sense) there is a book called Target 100 that recommends 1) 100 carbs/ day (I'm NOT doing this one), 2) getting 100 extra minutes of sleep a week, 3) getting 100 extra minutes of movement weekly, 4) getting in 100 minutes of exercise weekly, 5) drinking 100 oz of water daily and 6) getting 100 minutes of relaxation (meditation, whatever). I'm aiming for five of the six...
Last week:
Sleep: ✓
Water: probably not every day, definately at least 60.
Movement: ✓ ~190
Exercise: ✓ I sucked at doing PT last week but I mowed Saturday.
Relaxation: ✓ I did a lot more than 100--Sun/Mon/Tues I was very lazy and did lots of relaxing...
My steps last week, since I forgot the last week of May...
SUN: 2563
MON: 2000
TUES: 2000
WED: 4526
THURS: 3499
FRI: 2568
SAT: 2943 (does not include mowing)
Clearly, I need to get moving more. Things at work have been crazy stupid busy...I'm not even having time for lunch. I grab bites between calls, zooms, panicked emails (responding to...), etc. I only managed a walk yesterday because I manage a vanpool and HAD TO do end of month van business (walk to bank, deposit $, drop off payment, etc). I keep thinking it will slow down, but it doesn't. I should know better.3 -

My walks might be about over for the season. The heat is hitting highs well into 100's, and lows are in the mid 80's. Since I take my little guys with me, I have to be careful we don't go when it's too hot (which is pretty much always at this point).4 -

Another week has passed, and another over 400 thousand steps have been taken towards better health. What a powerful crew! Stepping it up just a little bit more will set us up to reach over 2 MILLION steps by the end of the month, which would be an incredible accomplishment within itself. Who's up for the challenge???3 -

We've been doing really well lately with weighing in before the calculations are completed on Sunday mornings, here's hoping we can keep it up!
If there are any questions or concerns or requests to be excused, don't hesitate to reach out! We are here to benefit you and if something isn't working for you, adjustments can be made. All you have to do is say something - we can't know you're struggling unless you speak up.3 -

Yes! I need to walk more. Will go to the zoo next week.4 -
I completely missed my weigh-in and need to be excused this week. Dealing with some medical stuff.

Keep tracking calories. Remember to always eat less calories than what you burn. That is the key to losing weight. I know you can do it. I lost 60 pounds over the course of one year. It’s slowly creeping back on me, but I know all I need to do is the magic formula of calories in less than calories out.4 -

I did not lose 2+ pounds, but dairy does weird things to my innards (bloat, other problems). When I cut back, focus on the veg that I love & love me back, woosh!
Last weekend I accidentally went to our local farmers market. Yes, accidentally. I didn't plan to go. I have nothing against them, love going to them but had other plans. I do car pooling/van pooling and one of my riders left her wallet in my car. I realized it was there on my way to other business near the market, she was heading to the market, so I met her there. I'm faster than she is, so I roamed. And saw the most lovely rainbow chard and had to take it (and a massive, beautiful head of green leaf lettuce) home. I generally use chard for two things... summoning spring minestrone and chickpeas and chard with moraccan spices. It is too late in the season for the soup and I've already made it twice. The second has always been a pain in the kitten to make (calls for crushing garlic, ground spices, fresh herbs into paste in a mortar, which takes forever) but worth it. I cheated a bit (my mini food processor isnt a mortar but it pastes pretty well) and it was SO good. I forgot how much I love it.
That was the high point of my week. I have so much to do at work and there have been so many support calls, I barely have time to breathe. I'm lucky if I get to eat part of my lunch, so there is no snacking happening. But now I am on vacay. A week of nothin'! Well, walks, gardening, going to the zoo (have not been in...decades), going to the botanical garden and/or arboretum, and a baby shower (at work, but only for a bit, I committed to bringing stuff that can only be acquired in my town before I realized it was, in fact, the middle of my vacay).
Earlier this week, my husband said his sisters were planning on doing an early Father's day cookout thing Saturday. Silly me, thought he meant this Sat (today) so last night I started my vegetarian baked beans in the slow cooker (they cook for ~14 hours). A couple hours in, he asks what I'm making. Beans for the thing tomorrow. Him...that's next week. Sigh. And we aren't even available next Sat! Silly HIM!4 -

~ Story Time ~
Out of sheer curiosity, I decided I wanted to compare my weight last night to my weight this morning, despite not having an "official" weigh in scheduled until tomorrow morning. I did a lot of physical labor, putting up art in my apartment, repotting plants, walking through Target and exercising my absolutely bulky willpower so I would only spend $130, carrying all my purchases up the stairs rather than using the elevator... I ate a decent amount, because I was hungry, and it wasn't necessarily healthy food I was shoveling into my face.
Reminder - my last weigh-in with the group was 173lbs.
Last night, when I stepped onto the scale (after eating dinner AND an after-dinner snack), I saw 177.4 lbs. That was to be expected. It was hot out yesterday, so my body was holding onto as much water as possible to be able to cool down when necessary. And I had used my muscles to climb up and down a step stool and use a hammer amongst other tools. And I had eaten a lot. And, I'm assuming, none of it had (ahem) passed yet.
All that said, the number was disheartening.
And then I stepped onto the scale before my workout early this morning. 173.2. That's more like it. Did I lose 4lbs overnight? Yes. Yes I did. Was it 4lbs of fat? Absolutely not. Our bodies use water throughout the night and we exhale it along with carbon dioxide and other gaseous chemicals we store. (Fun science fact: carbon dioxide and water are products of burning fat, so the majority of the weight we lose is lost through expelled gases, whether that be from exhaling or... other means.)
I completely forgot to weigh myself AFTER my workout, probably because I was very focused on needing to wash my hair. But I'm assuming the loss would equate to about 0.1 lbs of burned fat (from my estimated calorie burn) + however much I sweat throughout the 45 minutes. The loss wouldn't be noticeable now, as I've had quite a bit of water to drink, and my hair is still wet, and there's food in my stomach. I'm sure I weigh more than I did when I woke up.
So, um, yeah. Weight fluctuates a lot. A LOT. Don't be so hard on yourselves. There's a billion factors at play.CassieGetsFit2013 wrote: »Username: CassieGetsFit2013

@CassieGetsFit2013 -
This could be for a million reasons! Did you weigh in after eating/drinking? What about salt/sugar consumption from the day before? And if you've been spending more time outside in the sun, or moving more frequently, you could be holding onto water so your body can repair your muscles and skin and so many other things. I highly doubt you consumed nearly 10k extra calories over the past week.
All in all, don't let this discourage you! Reach out to me if you want to talk through this, okay?

Goal for June low 180 (maybe enter the 170s 🤞)
I am happy that i maintained, as it was a week of get together and birthday celebrations, which meant a lot of eating out and drinks.
Next week i will be away on vacation, can I send the weight on Sunday instead of Monday for this one week?4
