    I wanted to share this with everyone here. The manager at my gym was asked by a newspaper reporter for an "new years resolution success story".

    There's a few facts wrong but overall, it's not too embarrassing! I am 5'8" not 5'6" and I didn't "stop eating carbs" I just reduced my carbs.

    J4T Saturday
    1. Deep clean living room and put regular decorations back out. :smile:
    2. Squat challenge Day 6 :smile:
    3. Take lunch with me when I go out to shuttle children :- didn't go out
    4. Be very careful to stick to calorie goals one meal at a time. No going over. No late night snacking. No grabbing snacks from the pantry. - did ok, but I did go over a little bit by eating 1 snack, but it was a healthy snack.

    Did a deep clean and rearrange of the living room, cleaned the storage room and put all the Christmas boxes away.

    I haven't done that kind of housework in YEARS because I just wasn't healthy enough to move furniture and lift heavy boxes over my head. 8 hours straight and I'm not even particularly tired right now!

    J4T Sunday
    1. Take breakfast with me in morning
    2. Very light breakfast and lunch
    3. Buy Birthday gift after church
    4. Grocery shopping
    5. Prep for Bronco's/Birthday party
    6. Take walk with my friend
    7. Log calories for dinner and cake in advance and stick to the plan.
    8. Do Squat challenge Day 7

    JFT, 10/16

    1. Stay within maintenance calories :)
    2. Walk the dogs :)
    3. At an all-day conference so pack my food and just eat that! :)

    Weighed in at 135 pounds this morning. So, another 2.6 down since end of December. Probably won't weigh in again until end of February. I'm going to eat at maintenance today and tomorrow. I've been pushing kind of hard and I'm just hungry. Plus, no workout to offset today.

    Have a wonderful weekend!! B)

    JFT, 10/17

    Last day before leaving on my trip!

    1. Stay within maintenance calories.
    2. Walk the dogs.
    3. Cardio workout at the gym.
    4. Clean the house and pack for trip.

    What a great story! You are an inspirational reminder that gaining control over what we eat and how we move changes so much more of our lives than just the weight on our scales. Thank you for sharing the article.

    First time here but really need to be accountable. Yesterday was a binge day, I waited way too long to eat... then I ate... and then I really wasn't hungry just anxious I guess and eat ALL THE THINGS - 1000+ calories over! Anyway today I'm starting over on a good note so I woke up late and treated myself to a nice breakfast...

    Sun 17 Jan 2016 - JFT

    1. I will log everything I put in my mouth
    2. I will have tea prior to meals because I don't really know if it's hunger or just a craving, then I'll wait and see if I'm still hungry before I eat.
    3. Remind myself that it's just a one day goal to accomplish today :blush:

    Hope everyone is doing awesome!

    <3 Mel

    Here's my commitment, just for today:
    1 Weigh myself - my goal is to do this every Monday, and last month i consistently "forgot".
    2. Record everything I consume in MFP.
    3. 60min of strength training.
    4. Do not drink any diet soft drinks; I'm trying some iced tea party made myself instead.
    5. Appreciate and reflect on Dr. King's work and wisdom.

    Yesterday I only had 2 commitments (30min cardio & record all my food), and I completed both. It's been a long time since I've followed through on intention about my health and fitness, and it feels good to have accomplished 2 small, yet very important, actions.
