Submit my weigh in today! Already met my round 3 goal and working towards round 4! How’s everyone else doing??

Started tracking in myfitnesspal and being consistent with tracking calories and protein. It's working so well for me right now. Aiming for 8k steps per day and strength training 4x week. Below my goal weight this round! Here's so more wins!

Just had covid for over a week. (First time covid, haha) Fell off the diet, stayed away from the scale... still lost 4 lbs???? What the heck just happened. I mean, I didn't OVER do the eating. Just ate junk like I used to. Just not like, the whole menu. Im so confused right now. Maybe I'm super dehydrated. Maybe my scale is broken. This makes NO sense.

Im not complaining, I know some of you wish this magic would happen to you. Im just stating an anomaly in my journey.

I thought I was going to have to fast to catch back up... nope.

Stay healthy my friends!

So, this is my first ever diet bet. Im still learning how to navigate this app. But I'm wondering, are there bets on here to gain muscle mass? I'm very money motivated. Seems that when I put money on the line, I meet my goals easily. After I lose the weight, i want to gain some back in muscle.

So are there bets like this on here?

Yesterday was spaghetti night (that is code for a hard day). My wife made double. Pasta is a trigger food for me. I finished the day at a 500 calorie surplus, where a normal day is a 500 calorie deficit. One of my daughters turned 6 this weekend too, cake! Yum! I'm still averaging at about a 350 calorie deficit per day for the past week, but the scale is up 2 lbs today. I worked pretty had to lose that last 2 lbs, how dare it come back in one day. What makes it worse is I was 2 lbs away from my next goal of an overweight BMI. Oh well, now it's 4 lbs. The complexities of weight lost science are lost on me, even with this little bump in the road I have lost 14.4 lbs since this game started and I intend to keep doing what I have been doing and one day I will be overweight!

Serious question. Can I stop playing after the first month? My weight loss is happening more aggressively than the pace of this game. It is more on pace with a monthly Kickstarter and I'm worried I'll lose too much weight and lose at some point during this 6 month game?

Who else does a cheat day once a week?

Pros?
Cons?

I do it because I'm on track, actually quite a bit over my goal. And I want to eat everything. Lol.

Does anyone else live full-time in an RV? I've been doing it for YEARS. It kind of adds to the challenge when you have a small fridge and a small stove. Let alone virtually no table space. It's contributed to my weight gain constantly eating out. I'm resorting to microwaveable healthy-ish meals for now, which mostly consists of looking for which box has the lowest calories and has protein. That and protien supplements, plus just not eating out, will hopefully do the trick.

Tying to do a high protein low carb diet and avoid sugar like the plague.

I luckily have a physically demanding job, I own a small all electric landscaping business, so I'm constantly getting a bit of a workout. When the grass starts growing again, I'll probably train my employee to use my zero turn mower so I can do more energy intensive work. Even if I REALLY don't want to.

I figured I'd say a bit about me since we're all in this thing together.

Hi everyone, good luck out there!
