    My weakness is sweet myself. I really cut back a lot and other foods, but I also been very active as well. I do have few days I over eat. I started myself 6 months ago. I just have few more left but not worring either. I feel a lot better and looking better. Wished I had other picks to show past 6 months transformation. Keep up great work. I need motovation myself

    Just for today:

    1. I will get in an hour of exercise.
    2. I won't eat anything after 8:00 p.m.
    3. I will remind myself that the number on the scale is not necessarily an accurate reflection on my progress. I am able to do significantly more physically than I ever was before.

    I've been away - we did get to go to Michigan to see our son and little grandsons! So much fun, and way too many cookies!!
    But I need to get back to taking this one day at a time.
    So since tomorrow is Christmas Eve day, I still am going to do this, one day at a time
    So just for tomorrow, 12/24
    1. I will watch what I eat, and not overeat
    2. I will try and do 20 minutes on the ellipitical during the day
    3. I will look only at positives, and enjoy our quiet evening


    The new year will start soon. If all of you would like to join me, I would like to start another thread of just for today for the month of January! I love so much reading others posts, and it makes me not feel so alone. You are all my inspiration!!!!

    I've been on MFP for a while now. I've never joined in on groups but I really like the idea of only taking things one day at a time. I would really like to join and try to make a daily change in my life. It seems much more doable looking at just one day instead of months down the road.
    So...Just for today
    1. I will stay in my calorie range
    2. I will get in at least 15minutes of exercise
    3. I will counter any negative thoughts I have about myself with positive ones.

    Welcome to you, I also found this thread to be SUPER inspirational. And I LOVED your #3 - counter any negative thoughts with positive ones. Thank you for the reminder that emotional health and balance is such a huge part of this journey!

    I love reading all your posts -- I came down with a awful cold on Christmas eve, so have not posted anything. I've been drinking orange juice, and trying to rest as much as I could. Not the best time to get sick, and it was beautiful out today - almost 55 degrees! I hated not being able to get outside for a walk.

    so I am making list for tomorrow.

    Just for today, 12/27

    1. I will take care of myself, and drink lots of water, and eat healthy foods.
    2. Log everything I eat, and get back into journaling!

    1. I will stay in my calorie range(was a little over)
    2. I will get in at least 15minutes of exercise :) I did 20 minutes on the treadmill
    3. I will counter any negative thoughts I have about myself with positive ones. (I think this will take as much work as losing pounds)

    Just for today 12/27
    1. I will log everything I eat
    2. I will get in at least 15 minutes of movement
    3. I will work on treating me as well as I would treat others

    Jackie, Joan, and other fans of one day at a time - I love the group "JUST FOR TODAY 2015", I love this thread, I'm posting in BOTH so as not to miss the "Just for Today" bus, which has come to be a very valuable part of my MFP experience as is having people I have met in this thread for friends!!

    BUT - how are we going to figure out which to do going forward? posting in both is a little time consuming and keeps fans of Just for Today in two separate places.

    Ideas?

    I say we LET everyone in the "other thread " know about THIS one and I just delet THAT thread since it was Joan's to begin with! Plus I just created that thread thinking I couldn't get on this one! I WILL post this thread now! I will keep the OTHER one for a few days!

    I just sent a couple messages to a couple members that showed interest letting them KNOW we are ONLY going to have this one! I will check the other one the next couple of days!
