Hey everyone,

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for being so neglectful this month.  I had no idea how much work the new house would be nor did I expect things to get so busy at work.  I have just been very swamped with everything - which meant the list didn't get updated as often as normal.

Anyway, on that note, I wanted to let you all know that I'm probably not going to run the group again - at least not in the same way.... I will keep the thread going but I will probably only update the main post weekly - is that ok with the group??

3150 / 10500

ETA - I'm "hearing" lots of frustrations out there... We still have 12 days left!  Even if you think you know you won't make your goal, push it (in a healthy way, of course) to see where you end up.  At the very least you can see use that number to see if the scale matches your calculations and to help you plan for next month.

eat4health - I just went through the same thing (as you can see with my numbers).  I took some time to think about my goals for the rest of the year in terms of my weight, and wrote those goals in my journal.  That gave me some more steam for the challenge.  Sometimes I lose focus on the big picture and taking the time to re-focis helps.

Alright everyone...  Apparently people are upset over bending the rules regarding me accepting weigh-in on days outside the Tues-Thurs window.  No more exceptions will be included in the results. 

Weights will be accepted from 12:01 am on Tuesday to 11:59 pm on Thursday.  The times posted on your post will be used as a time stamp.

Please clarify. If I am in a different time zone than you do you see the time stamp at your time or my time?

Example: if it midnight for you and 10:00 pm. for me do you use the time stamp as midnight or 10:00 pm? If that (midnight) is the case I have to make sure that I have posted before 10:00 pm. my time.

Please clarify because many of us are in different time zones. Thank you.

Buggy

 I believe (but could very well be wrong) that the posted time is your time - wherever you may be. 

What was your clock time when you posted and what does your time stamp say?  What time zone are you in?

Just wanted to verify that your weight listed for Week 5 is really for Week 6.  I had 265.5 in the excel document for Week 5, so I just listed 267.3 for Week 6.  Let me know if this is not correct.

I'm finally back and the list finally updated!  

Welcome to all the newcomers!

cbussiere - that's an amazing day.  Congrats to you!  You deserve it :)

I fell of the wagon a little bit.  By little bit I mean I justified eating crap by telling myself the following (1) moving burned a lot of calories, I can eat whatever I want, (2) we don't have a workable kitchen sink yet, I can't cook anything at home because there's no place to wash the dishes, and (3) I haven't had a chance to get groceries yet - no fruits, veggies or healthy treats around.  SO, I haven't been paying attention and I am hoping it doesn't show up on the scale (here's to hoping moving really DID burn a lot of calories!).  

Anyway, with all of you as witnesses,  I will jump back in tomorrow by getting groceries ASAP in the morning and planning ahead like usual (if that means washing dishes in the bathroom sink for the time being so be it!).
