    @kellie_erin I have taken several breaks from the team over my time here. I highly recommend going on support and changing your goal focus but continue to read posts and post yourself. Sounds like you really need to focus on stress relief and I'm guessing energy with everything going on. Exercise and nutrition can definitely be a part of that but maybe calorie tracking isn't. You can still feel like you are supporting your health and well-being during this stressful time. Just get rid of the scale pressure and focus on feeding good enough to deal with everything.

    @lauren_989 I generally weight most days of the week and it does go up and down. Sometimes I use the previous days weight if I had take out the night before my weigh in and I know it's just water weight. This doesn't happen too often but sometimes life happens. I have my weigh in day on Friday since that is the day of the week I tend to weigh the least. If you have a regular work week there is research to suggest that most people weigh the least on this day. I find the work week gives me structure and I can be more flexible with my weekends.

    @eggfreak So glad you're here. I know life has been crazy for you these last few months. Just know that we care about you here! I hope you find some time for self care and your own goals. Sending hugs.

    @Kali225 The drive sounds miserable but I hope you have fun with your mom!

    @ashleycarole86 I definitely thought of you yesterday when I didn't see your usual post! I figured you had a busy day. Glad you had a great time.

    @Kali225 Hope your Mom has a great birthday! Sounds like the celebrations are going to be a lot of fun!

    @conleywoods Definitely was thinking of the team! It does me no good to not be here - if I'm not it likely means I'm getting into trouble ;) Anyway, I still logged my food - but knew I needed a proper sit down to catch up here.

    Exercise catch-up:
    6/8 - 17,305 steps, 17 minutes Peloton
    6/9 - 11,735 steps
    6/10 - 14,602 steps

    I'm thinking I might need to drop out for a while. I don't need the extra guilt this is causing me over gaining weight beyond the self-loathing I already carry

    Hugs, Kellie. As several people have mentioned, we love having you with us in any way that works for you. Even if you are not weighing in every week (that will take away some of the bad feelings, I hope!), just coming in here and posting from time to time, reading the general news and ideas can hopefully keep you from going too far away from healthy habits. I'll put you in the support team for now and you can let me know if that works for you. No weigh-ins, just hanging here with the team when you want. Then you just ask when you're ready to jump back into the weighing in part. OK?

    @lauren_989 good question about the weighing daily vs weekly - this one comes back from time to time and the different ways that either one can "mess with our heads" is fascinating, if not fun :grimace:

    One option that anyone on the team can use is to post your average for the week on your official weigh-in day. This means, of course, weighing yourself every day, but it takes away the bad feeling if your weight is a bit up on the day you have to report it. You do not need to tell me if that is what you are doing - some weeks it is a great option, others not so much. But if the daily weighing itself is really causing issues, the weekly works better for many people.

    Personally, I weigh daily, except on days when I know it won't be a good number - one skipped day allowed - and that helps me stick with a better plan so that the next day is better. Sometimes I skip more than one day if I'm on vacation or just needing a break for a bit. So go ahead and be somewhat flexible, just don't let the momentum slip through your fingers for too long or it is hard to get it back.

    Sorry about being late. I’m off a day. Well, probably more than a day but here I am. Out church choir is singing Louis Vierne “Messe Solemn” as our final program before the summer break. There are many lovely contrasting parts in the amazing organ and voice sections.
    The rehearsal today was really good and I had a lot more energy than expected after having my 2nd booster yesterday afternoon.
    Have a good night y’all!

    @jugar I'm so sorry that I'm late. I am going to be traveling quite a bit this summer and I was hoping to be put on the support team (at least for June)

    Thank you!
