    I checked out the challenge, it DOES sound fun! Is anyone planning to pair up? Or are you all flying solo?

    I believe @orangesmartie is getting our team together. I need to check on that.

    According to the FAQ, only four people are allowed per team. But being one of the high steppers in the Fitbit challenges, I think I can make it with one partner. :) Hopefully @LenGray will sign up with me! :smiley:

    Oh I missed this. Then I was late so I'm only solo. Nicci already has 4. I'll sign up with you and LenGray and maybe Wendy? Are you going to officially join online? If so you can make us a team!

    Yep, I'm officially registering tonight! :)@raymax4 @LenGray Would you two like to be in a group together with Patricia and I?

    If I can convince Hubby to join that would be to many and I'll be in a group with him otherwise I'd love to join your group! I'll let you know tomorrow, if he says no for that long I'll be with you.

    I weigh myself daily but don't log it, I accept the fluctuations and usually know why (no poop, too much sodium) but I hate seeing in on my little graph thing.

    I do the same and when I see consistent loss I log it.

    It would have never worked on our household. they just would have gone on line.

    I never minded being grounded. I just went to my room and read. :)

    That was my oldest stepdaughter. She had to be grounded from her books!! :D

    I gave in. Currently eating my spaghetti....mmmmm!

    Spaghetti sounds awesome! :D I'm taking some chicken stew, a quesadilla, and some cake to work.

    Honestly, quesadillas are like the ultimate lazy sandwich for me lol I make one or two batches and then just stuff my face with them the rest of the week.

    I never thought those would be good as leftovers. Don't they go soggy?

    If you cook the shells long enough, they don't. It also depends a lot on the ingredients though. The veggie ones have been a little soggy, but the chicken and beef ones that I make are nice and crisp even as leftovers :)

    Maybe I will have to try this....in a chicken one, you would have cheese?

    Usually when I make quesadillas, its chicken, cheese, peppers and tomatoes.....if I omit the tomatoes, you think that would work?

    This is amazing! I always love the success stories...

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10492715/1-year-in#latest

    What have you accomplished in 2016?

    My weight, ironically, is EXACTLY the same from my first weigh-in of the year to my last...179.8. But I'm down a whole pants size, went from not being able to do a pull-up to doing five in a row, deadlifting 315 pounds, and benching big girls plates. All in all, I'm calling 2016 a success!

    Can't wait to see what 2017 is going to bring!

    May I ask you how to copy the threads, There have been many times that I wished to share a thread or article but can't seem to do it.

    I went from 180 lbs to 160.
    I became more relaxed about my food choices.

    When I'm in the specific thread, I go up to the command line

    right click on the URL, and then choose "copy." I then paste it into my comment.

    Did that make sense?

    This year will be a year of accountability for me. I am pretty much starting where I left off and I am not happy about that. I have lots to learn about keeping myself within my boundaries as far as food. All the junk that I have eaten will always be there, so no use in feeling like I am missing out if I don't partake at the time. I am ditching the scale except for the first of the month to check progress. Otherwise, I plan to focus on my diet and exercise. As long as I don't quit out right that is a victory, right?

    YES!!! It's a HUGE victory!

    You have to find what works for you. Sometimes that takes several attempts...

    It's the last Friday of 2016, people! Anybody doing anything fun over the weekend? We're going over to a friend's house tonight to watch the UFC fights. That's gonna be fun!

    I need to do a last minute donation to Goodwill Idaho Youth Ranch, so I'll be getting things together tomorrow and taking them in to donate. Plan to hit the gym, and then it's my niece's birthday party.

    Sunday - church in the morning. Don't know beyond that.

    Monday - no plans...yet! ;)

    Saturday: Run, class, donate blood, ride both horses, drive to Mom's, work on dissertation or catch up on work email.
    Sunday: Run, fix Mom's wall, plan and cook New Year's dinner, work on dissertation or catch up on email or both.
    Monday: Run, work on dissertation/email, if Y is open go swim.

    It is going to be a nice 3 days. :)

    2016 recap: I started the year at 164.0. This morning after two weeks of eating whatever the heck I want and not drinking enough water, I weighed 166.8. Not bad.

    I am not anywhere near as strong as Quik, but my lifts are better than in January.

    I set goals to budget and live by it and do more meal planning, and stuck to that well until Christmas. And I had a goal to read 12 nonfiction books and finished 9.

    ETA: I am going to out town New Year's Eve celebration tomorrow. We will be 100 in 2017 so the downtown business association is throwing a party to ring it in.

    Nice job!

    You and me both! We will get it together in 2017!

    I am going to issue a single day walking challenge on Sunday so we all start the week off right. :)

    so... if I am going to do 2 challenges for next week I need to know who goes where.

    "high steppers'
    Susie
    Tobi
    Tami?
    Victoria
    Danny

    "low steppers"
    Nicci
    Melissa
    Lee Ann
    Tamara
    Lois
    Chrissy

    Anyone I am missing? Or anyone want to move groups? I have to be in both if I start both.

    I'm afraid that I'm going to have to bow out of the runto2017 thing. I didn't realize there was a price tag attached and I'm still woefully broke from Christmas :frowning: Hopefully, next year my pocketbook will be up to the task lol

    That said, I'd be more than happy to support you guys on here and I'm still planning to track my mileage.

    I used vacation as an excuse to eat everything a person with high cholesterol shouldn't eat. Newsflash: the pizza, burgers, and donuts in DC taste like the ones we have here in Missouri.

    You are awesome. I consider 2016 a failure. I weigh more, pretty much stopped working out, made zero progress on my dissertation, barely rode and bailed on most races. 2017 will be better.

    I weigh like 40 pounds more, lost control over my eating, and basically just royally messed up. But I'm getting a handle on things, so there's that?
