Sorry, Quik! That is a bummer. Hopefully you can get out early. What a bummer to be sick for the holidays.0 -

Roomba?
Nope. Rosie folded the laundry and put it away. LOL!
OH!!! YES, PLEASE! I have a freaking mountain of laundry to fold and put away. That was my goal for tomorrow.
I have been good about not letting my laundry pile up until I have 3 hours of folding and putting away, but that was mostly while Jill was living with me. Now that she moved out and the spare bed is free again... it is starting to collect. Luckily with the cleaning lady coming 2x a month it has forced me to put it away every 2 weeks.1 -

Yep. Unless people get reeeeally inspired to post some holiday-related confessions.
I've completely given up logging or monitoring in any fashion, my food intake until after the first of the year. My calories and macros can jump right off a bridge.
Hard reset 1/3. Everyone party for my birthday on 1/2, okay?
I'll toast you with a coffee.

Hugs! To make you feel better, I confess that I've gained 50 pounds this year through all-out binge eating.
@Susieq_1994 - I hope it gets better soon!! It has been stressful the last part of the year, but I can't blame anyone but me for what I gained.
Yep, same here. It's all me! I'm pretty proud of myself, I've been back to logging for 1.5 months now... But in the meantime I've gained a grand total of about 90 pounds. Woohoo?
You can get in on our hard reset, too!
I'm so in! I'm in three different challenges right now, trying to get myself all motivated.
I'm in a calorie logging challenge with Nicci and Patricia, a weight loss challenge with some non-MFP friends and my sister, and then of course the weekly step challenge, in which I try to beat @tobistat every week.
You and Tobi are ridiculous on the fitbit steps. LOL I feel good if I'm even in your general vicinity, steps-wise.
Feel comforted by the fact that I'm unemployed and therefore I get to step and read all day long. If I was working I wouldn't get half of what I do!
Exactly, Susie! I don't work either so that's why I get a lot of steps. Makes me feel bad when I win because it's not really fair to the people who are working!
True. But I enjoy the challenges so much that I don't want to stop playing them! Most of the time it's me vs. you vs. Danny.
I don't want you guys to stop either. It's motivating. Consider it a public service to us low steppers!
I plan to get back to walking in 2017. So if there are challenges, please consider putting me on the list!
I'll add you! Jump in tho we fill up!
Maybe it's time to start making two challenges again? It's hard to fit us all into just one! I've noticed that a lot of people get left out week to week.
I know because I do a rematch and if they didn't make one week they get left off the next. Sometimes I remember to invite them back. Mostly not. But if we do I want to do it randomly. I hated that 'high stepper' 'low stepper' designation in the past.
oh whoops. Sorry, think we're opposites on this then
I know with my lifestyle i cannot keep up with the high steppers and find it quite demotivating, whereas with people who are around 1k steps of me, i will try harder to get in front
Hmmmm. Okay so maybe we offer 2 options. I want to be in the high stepper group even though I don't usually keep up as I find It motivating. So we claim a high and low and then we pick where we want to go vs. getting assigned?1 -
I want a nap.1

Even my cleaning angel coming doesn't guilt me into getting it done...0 -
Okay, here are my 2017 goals:

- 365 days of sobriety
- Get to 120 and stay there
- Show Phoebe in 3'
- Finish every race I signed up for
- Qualify for Boston again5 -

(When it comes to books I spend money like water, so we have a pretty strict monthly book budget agreed on--so losing weight gets me extra!) Milestone weight numbers (every ten kilos) get me double that. I'm greedily hoarding all of my earned book money so I can look at all the money and see what my weight loss got me! I can't seem to bring myself to spend it.
I discovered used books at the Idaho Youth Ranch (a second-hand store). All paperbacks are $1.00!!! And half-price on Sundays! I bet I've saved at least $1,000 dollars so far.
I LOVE secondhand bookstores, we had one in Oman! We'd go in there and get bags and bags of shabby looking books for nearly nothing. We don't have one here though. And the cost of books in bookstores is crazy high, almost unaffordable. So I buy e-books. 2 -

I like that idea. People who feel motivated by the high stoppers can ask to be placed in that group, and the ones who feel demotivated by people with really high steps can be in a group that's closer to their average step number.
ETA: Stoppers?? Thanks autocorrect... That's totally what I was going for. Not.1 -
I finished my shopping this morning. Of all the days I've gone shopping, today is the only day I bought anything for myself. I got 3 pairs of socks because mine are all getting worn out. I'm a good girl and I'll even wait for Christmas. I'll give them to my husband to put in my stocking!

These earrings are one of the things I bought myself for Christmas. I love them! I probably should have let hubby put them in my stocking, but...

Today I went out shopping with a friend and bought a cute water bottle from a sports store. It's pink, and although I really don't like pink very much, it's surprisingly adorable and it was on sale! I got it for 20% off.
Having a water bottle to drink from usually encourages me more than drinking from a cup for some odd reason, so I've been looking around for a while. 4 -

Me, too. I drink much more water if I have my "special" water bottle.0 -

Ouch. Just looking at those pointy bits is painful, because I swear I'd stab myself in the neck with them in less than an hour. At least I'd die with pretty earrings, I guess. 2 -

Every time I mention drinking water I get flashbacks to that I HATE WATER thread. Did you catch the crazy in that before the mods got to it?0 -

Haven't had that problem yet. But I'm sitting in my office, not doing anything crazy. They definitely aren't earrings to wear if you're gonna be active.0
