    August week 1
    Weigh in day: Friday, August 8 -- (using 7-day average)
    PW: 254.6 lbs
    CW: 255.9 lbs (↑1.3 lbs; 0.51%)

    My actual weight today and yesterday were 257+! But the 7-day average makes it look better than it is. I'm going to be out of town the next couple days, so my weight might go up even further.

    @frankwbrown I hadn’t noticed the palindrome, but I do notice when I get ‘binary’ steps ☺️

    Now off to the treadmill. Its 330pm and I'm only at 3000 steps because I have been running errands and school clothes shopping for the kids all day. Also ate crappy so far. A bagel for breakfast, and Wendy's for lunch, but I got their Wednesday meal and gave my frosty to my daughter so I guess I'm not doing the worst, but I'm off to burn those calories now

    I've got to keep six months ago in my memory and how much CONSTANT pain I was in…last weekend I pushed myself to walk in larger volumes and I suffered for several days this week…not quite as bad as six months ago, but enough to make me take notice and a few tylenol. Today was better, but going to keep walking in smaller sections now…20-30 min at a time…no more pushing an hour and a half…not quite ready for that yet.

    I’m nothing if not consistent, lol. I unexpectedly had last week off at the gym, due to the trainer having a family emergency. My knees felt good, but wouldn’t ya know, I ended up with back spasms the whole time! No idea what caused them but they are improving. Now back to the gym this week and my knees were not happy with leg day but they seem to be improving also. I’ve curtailed my walks but went this evening and I could feel my back muscles tightening up so I just went slower and shorter. I will get better eventually!

    @AnnaCuesta

    Not sure how I missed the announcement of you joining us, but welcome to the team!!! Glad you found your way to us. I'm going to go back and search each page again, but if you haven't done so, please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your goals for August and months to come!

    I'm Jessica, one of your Captains, the other being @frankwbrown. Along with us, you have two wonderful Motivators @nancyinmiami and @LaurieWrobo who are here to give you a little extra support whenever you need it! On behalf of the whole team, we're hoping you find this group of tremendous people to be as wonderful and helpful as we have.

    Take time to use all your resources, both in this team thread and in the Walking Challenge, the Weekly Group Challenges and the new Book Club (led by NancyinMiami). Each has a different thread but you can easily find those in sections on the main Fat2Fit page. If you need a link, look through this chat thread OR just ask and one of us will post.

    May August bring lots of new celebrations for you as you achieve your short and long-term goals!!!

    Jessica 😎

    Please skip my weigh-in this week. My scale kept reading different numbers and I don’t trust it at this point. I think it needs new batteries and I don’t have the right type on hand.
