Hi @lauren_989 You had great weather for a trip to NH! We are in the southern part of the state in a small town about 15 minutes from Nashua.

@jimboden3 How was your daughter's iron man? That is an amazing accomplishment! @lauren_989 I think the bread vs. grass question depends on the season. I living in NH, which gets cold. In the spring and summer, there is nothing that smells better than fresh cut grass! In the fall and winter, I think I the smell might be…

@lauren_989 I just looked at my last week's numbers and I had a typo! I did NOT skyrocket up 11 pounds to 195.9. Last week was actually 185.9! Sorry if I threw us all off for the week :-( PW: 185.9 CW: 184.0

@lauren_989 Sorry for the late posting! Here’s my Friday weigh in: PW: 186.8 CWL 195.9

@lauren_989 Here's my Friday weigh-in. I have no idea why my weight fluctuates sooooo much. I didn't eat terribly this week. I did not drink as much water, which may be an issue. I feel a bit like a fraud when I see myself on the weekly weight loss list in honorable mentions, and then I am right back up to where I was two…

@lauren_989 PW: 186.8 CW: 184.7 Two weeks ago I was 186.0, then after weighing in the 185s all the next week, I bounced up last Friday to 186.8. Now I'm back down and coming in at 184.7 (which I am really excited about since it feels closer to the 170s than the 190s and it has been years since I could say that!). I think I…

@lauren_989 Before you know it, you will have more zucchini than you know what to do with. I really like zucchini, but I think in a yearbook for plants it would be voted "most likely to give to your neighbors" since they can just get so prolific!

@lauren_989 My Friday weigh-in: PW: 186 CW: 186.8 Sometimes the scale just confuses me. Wednesday and Thursday I was 185.6, then on Friday it was showing me up over a pound and up .8 from where I was last week. It seems that I get these fluctuations, then drop down again.

@lauren_989 Here's my Friday weigh in. I was up last week, and felt like I've been stuck right around 188 (up or down .5) for a few weeks. I finally broke that cycle this week! PW 188.1 CW 186

@lauren_989 PW 187.9 CW 188.1 I was sick all week with a terrible cold and I feel like I am eating more and drinking less :-(

@Megan_smartiepants1970 @lauren_989 Very, very slowly moving in the right direction. PW (5/9/2025 I was away last week): 188.1 CW: 187.9

@lauren_989 @Megan_smartiepants1970 Today (Friday) is my weigh in day, but I am out of town and have no access to a scale. May I skip this week? I’ll be able to weigh next Friday. Thank you!

@lauren_989 Here's my Friday weigh in: PW 189.4 CW 188.1

@lauren_989 What a fun Saturday activity! I'm with you though, 4.5 miles is NOT "short" - kudos to you!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 @lauren_989 PW: 189.5 CW 189.4 Not much, but right direction.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 @lauren_989 PW 189.1 CW 189.5 Sorry team! Not sure what happened this week other than I was a bit less active :-(

@lauren_989 We went to Spain. 2 days in Madrid, 3 days each in Valencia and Barcelona. We often just had tapas at a market, shared a couple, and then moved on. We ate dinner so late we were motivated not to eat much! Lots and lots of walking. Losing on vacation is a first for me!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I'm back from vacation and very happy to say that the extra walking I did every day (soooo much more than in my regular life) appears to have countered all the food I ate. PW: 191.9 (4/3/2025) CW: 189.1

@Megan_smartiepants1970 PW 192.1 CW 191.9 Down 0.2 Weighing in a day early since I leave for vacation this afternoon. It's a small drop this week, but still moving in the right direction. I will miss next week, but I will do my best not to eat my way through my vacation! I want to thank the team for letting me join last…

@lauren_989 @Megan_smartiepants1970 PW: 193.0 (3/21/2025) CW: 192.1 (3/28/2025) Megan - Hope the shot helps! I'd like to stay with the team in April, but I am going to be away the second week and unable to weigh in. Can I still stay?

Most nights, I spend the last hour or so before heading upstairs to bed watching something on TV with my husband (we are currently watching The Silo). Before that, I am often riding my horse since I can't ride until after work. I'd probably pick a yacht over a jet, but the idea of being able to fly anywhere I wanted…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 PW: 194.7 (3/14/2025) CW: 193.0 (3/21/2025) I was up a bit last week, but this week was much better.

Catching up with daily questions. My favorite ice cream is definitely chocolate peanut butter (preferably with lots of peanut butter swirled in). My favorite place to visit so far is Bonnaire. I've only been twice, but the scuba diving is amazing. Hope everyone is having a good week!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 PW: 194.3 (3/7/2025) CW: 194.7 (3/14/2025) Sorry team. I did not help our numbers this week.

I've been away for a couple of days, so back and catching up: My favorite team to watch is UMass Lowell's men's hockey. This is mostly because my daughter is in the pep band so it is a great excuse to go down and see/hear her play :-) If I had to keep one condiment, it would definitely be mayonnaise. I probably call my…

Hi @Megan_smartiepants1970 Here's my Friday weigh in: PW: 195.8 (2/28/2025) CW: 194.3 (3/7/2025) The tracker has my starting weight at 196.7, but that should be adjusted to 195.8. The 196.7 was from when I first submitted my request to join and be added to the teams for March.

Ice cream is my kryptonite! There are few flavors I don't like. However, my favorite is chocolate with peanut butter.

Thank you for letting me join you team! I am back on MFP after gaining some previously lost weight back. In the past I have liked the motivation that comes with team challenges, so this seemed like the perfect place to start my journey.

Never mind! I found a different link from the February Chat page that got me to a place where I could Join so I seem to be all set now :)

Help, I must be doing something wrong :-( On the first link, I can see the discussion but am not able to comment. On the second link where you said to scroll down and click on options, I am getting a message that says "You are leaving MyFitnessPal.com and that the link "is not an official MyFitnessPal.com site" and then…
