    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
    qroki0vkxxdu.jpg

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

    Did that make sense?

    Thanks

    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?

    Absolutely a victory!

    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.

    Aww, darn. :( Glad to have you as a cheerleader anyhow! :)

    Patricia, better leave me out of that 1-day Sunday challenge. I'm wheelchair bound at the moment and it would be a bit silly for me to be sitting at the bottom with zero steps!

    I haven't. I'm only signing up if I'm needed to round out a team, though.

    Thanks Tami! :) PM me with your email if you want the email with the promo code in it. You don't have to use it if you're not signing up, but I might as well send it to SOMEONE! ;)

    I've been using the Walmart grocery service for a few weeks, where you place your order online, and they bring it out to your car for you. It just dawned on me what the absolutely best part of the service is. My son cannot hit me up 100 times per shopping trip to buy him a toy, or Pokemon cards, or Nerf bullets, or...

    I'm never shopping in the actual store again! LOL

    Ahh, the fun of shopping with kids. Taking my stepbrothers or stepsisters shopping always drove ME bonkers, I'll bet my mom just went slowly insane! :D

    Agreed victory!
    You are not getting rid of the food scale just the scale for you correct?

    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.

    Is this a Fitbit challenge?

    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.

    Were they all delicious? Hope you enjoyed every bite

    I am good in the low steppers. Thank you for running the groups.

    Mine is good as well. Thanks for heading this up!

    Not the food scale, just the me scale. I don't need to focus on that number.

    I keep meaning to try this and I haven't done it yet. I really need to get on that! I really like shopping in the store though because I'm a weirdo and I like to see what's new too. Ah well.

    I confess that I did eat a little something but was disappointed because it wasn't the deliciousness that has been discussed on this thread like @Susieq_1994's cheesecake or @quiksylver296's spaghetti. :disappointed:

    Oh well, I'll make something yummy for dinner. Or go out. Haven't decided yet. :lol:

    I had beef stew and yogurt for dinner. It was okay, but not nearly as awesome as cheesecake or spaghetti either. Better luck next meal. :p

    Beef stew sounds delicious, especially since it's so cold here.

    Doesn't it? I'm freezing and it sounds magical. But then, I had an instant mashed potatoes cup for lunch (and will be having canned soup in a little bit) which tasted like sadness and disappointment, so anything would be better. (I've had a stomach bug for the past week so trying to take it easy on my stomach but it makes most of my meals very sad).

    :/ Hope you are feeling better soon. Bland doesn't do it for me neither.

    Thank you!! Feeling quite a bit better today so going to try eating somewhat normal food. *crosses fingers* Yeah, bland will never be anything I look forward to or want to eat.

    I LOVE grocery shopping. Would it be too weird if I said it's the highlight of my week? :D I'm like a kid at Disneyland at the grocery store!

    I despise the grocery store.

    I had a bit of an upswing this year, but then I realized something. Here's what the last three years look like:

    Year 1 Start: 189 lbs
    Year 1 End: 176 lbs
    Year 1 lowest weight: 171 lbs
    Year 2 End: 165 lbs
    Year 2 lowest weight: 160 lbs
    Year 3 (now) end: 150 lbs
    Lowest weight: 146

    So this is happening. It's slow, and I go up and down within a five pound range or so, but I'm going in the right direction.

    I would say a 39 lb loss is definite progress! Great job!
