I missed my weight and it will be tough to catch up this round- we’ll see what happens.

Good luck on the next rounds. You still have many more chances! It’s still early in the game.

Jessica F.

This was definitely the hardest round!

@referies
I actually Sent Messages and Posted here not being able to weigh in - I am on business trip - why is no reaction on this fact?

I missed - and have no opportunity to weigh in (Business Trip) …

Irene P.

Even so, thanks for sharing some great pictures, and you’ll have more chances in future rounds. Keep up your journey and your efforts!

I will be out of town for round 5’s weigh in. I’m debating if I should try and pack my scale or if I should buy a cheap one where I’ll be

I am back to where I started so it was a hard weigh in for me too. I’m going to try to focus on the end goal at this point- don’t give up- hand in there with me.

Irene P.

It’s still early in the game, so consider the additional chances. Best of luck (and planning) in the next rounds and the game.

What is motivating people on their weight loss journey? I’m recovering from surgery and trying to get back to where I was before my injury.

When I first started some time ago, I was in the overweight range for BMI. I also discovered that in my ethnic group, the BMI ranges are even tighter. So although I have already lost some weight and am no longer in the standard overweight range for the generally accepted BMI, I am still borderline Normal/Overweight for my ethnic group. Overall, in losing weight, I aim to be more solidly in the middle of the normal BMI range for my ethnic group, closer to my former weight when younger, while also having some other potential benefits: reducing low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and radiculopathy; developing healthier habits so that lipids/cholesterol numbers improve; reducing the amount of visceral fat; and having improved fit/function when doing younger person activities (going uphill, using cross country skis, participating as part of an aircrew ….)

Looks fun, although I’m wondering if the cold swim was intentional.
