    Some beautiful greens coming into our spreadsheet too! Thanks for the inspiration @wishfuljune

    As of today, I am officially (because I said so) back on the regular team for a bit. I have strayed above my top maintenance weight for more than 2 weeks, so it is time to get more serious and have my gains and losses count with the team for a while. There has been a bit too much sedentary and comfort eating, and it shows up fast! I'm sticking with the main group until I'm back to feeling those good feelings of strength and energy again.

    I'm tempted to say "don't work too hard" to you both @kali225 and @wishfuljune (not to mention @ashleycarole86 @bowens1973 and all the others who are putting in the crazy hours) but that isn't really helpful. Work balanced maybe? The hard work can be fantastic, even with too many hours and all, but if there isn't also the time to move, sleep, and eat well it isn't sustainable. I think you are all figuring it out pretty danged well - and also seeing when it doesn't quite work. It's a beautiful thing to watch - experiments, learning, good ol' trial and error, and getting through the hard stuff. Go team!!

    Hey team!
    If I'd weighed in today I think I would have posted a loss.. so go the ebbs and flows. I've been doing this for years and it's still fascinating to watch what the body does.
    February hasn't been as kind to me as January was.. lost a bit of grip on positive progress, the work piece that @jugar mentioned has felt out of control, just a lot of things.
    BUT, the big things, happiness, health, relationships.. those are all good. Great, in fact. So, I am focusing on that.
    I leave for Jamaica on Monday and I'm gone for 7 days. I will get the step report out this weekend! I know it's been a pared down version but that's the best I can do right now. I'm bursting at the seams trying to get life done.

    @Kali225
    You are just killing it girl! Sorry to hear the snowboarding is at risk due to your neck. Hope it works itself out.

    @wishfuljune
    As one gal in the corporate grind to another, I feel ya. But boy your schedule sounds intense! I usually keep a good in-office schedule and manage to get out reasonably on time but the high impact stress wears me down even when I'm not there. I find I'm always worrying about things at night and that is where I don't feel I recharge. And, the environment itself comes with lots of triggers. There is an on-call component too so that adds to it as it can be unpredictable. You are so smart to book classes at the end of the day to keep you from staying late!

    Good Morning Beautiful People!

    This morning there is 2 lbs less of me!
    It is slow and sometimes it is nothing or a gain, talking to you last weigh in, but it is not impossible!! You are not impossible!! Say it with me?!?

    Nothing major on the agenda today.
    Gym ✅ Coffee ✅ the world at my fingertips ✅

    I pray today that your burdens are lifted, you feel peace and you feel love.

    ❤️🦋

    This week was all over the place from 217 to 220. Glad it settled in the middle and not red.

    Love the questions. I’ll have to give it some thought and report back. Excited about? Next summit? Hmmmm.

    Happy Saturday!

    Spin class this morning was pure fire. The playlist was all Taylor Swift and we were all just jamming on the bikes. Love when a good playlist makes the workout feel like it flies by.

    The hubby and I went to the farmers market, then the grocery store, and I had to swing by a bookstore and makeup store because why not? It definitely felt like a “treat yourself” kind of day. I bought some skincare and suncare products and a new perfume (who doesn’t like smelling nice?).

    Now we’ll eat lunch, maybe check out a new brewery and have one drink, and then catch up on some housework like moving our living room furniture back into our living room.

    Are we allowed to request a permanent change on what day our weigh in is?
    Absolutely! and it is never permanent - you can change it any time. Trying different days is one of those fun experiments :wink:

    Could I change my weigh in day to Sunday please.

    @lindamartin27 Done! Sunday is always the first weigh-in day of the week, so there would be no weight recorded for you this week. Do you want me to excuse you from this week, and then just go ahead with your Sunday weight for next week? That would work easily, or if you prefer to give me a guess at your last Sunday weight I could put that in.

    I can give you my weight last Sunday for past weight. I weight and record my weight almost every day.

    The ebbs and flows of weight loss. Well, I’m not crazy about it but it happens. My work has me at a desk for too many hours and it’s a challenge to increase the days I work out but that’s my next best step.
    Have a great rest of the weekend!
    I’ll be back soon. 😘

    That's still down 0.6 lb from last week - looks good to me!

    and a new addition to the results post...

    Percentage of Members in the Green!

    uybuwkics41e.png

    This will now start being reported on a weekly basis in addition to a monthly basis.
    As a reminder, being "in the green" indicates a loss of any size from one week to the next; the percentage is how much of the team saw a loss in any given week.
    In Week Three, it looks like the Downsizers really dug in and went for it! Also a huge congrats to the Mission Slimpossibles and Waistaways for jumping up over 10% from week two to week three!

    Where will YOUR team be next week?
