TEAM: Flab u Less (January)
Replies
-
Hello everyone! My name is Asylin (Az-Lynn) and I am a 35 year old stay at home wife and mother (son 11, daughter 2). I quit my job in March with the impression I would have all this time to cook healthy meals and exercise and lose all this weight and be healthy. Well I’ve been flat out lazy! I have lost 10 pounds, but have 48 more to go. I started strength training in October but very inconsistently. My goals for January are to cook healthier meals more often than not and stay consistent with my workout routine. Strength train 3 days a week and cardio 3 days a week.
I’m so excited to be in this group! Let’s give it our all and stay motivated through conversation! It’s hard to do it by yourself, so let’s not be alone FLAB-U-LESS!!
Hello and welcome. Communication is the key and it sounds like you have a great exercise plan.2 -
Hello all, I've been using MFP since last May, and I've dropped 35 pounds between then and November. My goal for 2018 is to lose another 50 by the end of the year, so ideally I'm looking to lose 4-6 lbs. during January, as well as get back into a consistent workout routine. Good luck to all for the coming month!
Hello and welcome. That is a great goal and I believe we can help and encorage you to reach it.1 -
Hey team! I'm so excited to start this challenge!! I am a full-time working mommy and spouse. My kids are 3.5 and 5. My husband travels all the time for work and was in the Navy until recently. Since having kids it's been very difficult for me to stick to anything because of how crazy my schedule can get with working, the kids and having my husband gone all the time.
I am literally the heaviest I've ever been, and I'm always so uncomfortable. My goal is to push through NO MATTER WHAT this time. I need to set a good example for my kids. We've joined the Y, which offers 2 hours of free babysitting, so the kids can play and mommy can workout when daddy's gone. I also signed up for beachbody on demand, that way I can work out after the kids go to bed too. Ideally I'd like to lose 100 lbs, but I will re-evaluate once I get closer to my goals. Let's do thiissssss
Hello and welcome. I loved going to the Y. Unfortunately, where I live now doesn't have one. It looks like you have great motivation to reach your goals.2 -

I do not have any children of my own, but I do have 5 nieces that I love, adore, and want to get healthy for. I'm tired of my weight literally weighing me down. My weight has kept me from enjoying my life these past few years and I'm ready to live again. Leaving a toxic relationship and facing my insecurities has allowed me to finally become strong enough to put myself and my health first. I'm looking forward to making this journey with each and every one of you. Let's make 2018 a year of positive change. My only goal this year is to learn to love myself again.

Hello and welcome. I have the same goal of eating less processed foods.2 -

Yes thank you shawna357 for getting us started! I think water is a great first week challenge. I tend to not drink as much in the winter so I definitely need to boost it up!0 -
Happy New Year teammates!
My name is Vert and I'm a 5th grade ELA teacher in Washington state. This group has really helped me get back on track and stay motivated. But over the holidays, travel and eating out has really been a set back. However, I'm trying not to dwell on that and am looking ahead to January as a new start.3 -
This first week let's focus on our water intake. I try to drink about 64oz plus a day. So each day just lost how much water you drank and this will keep you accountable and hopefully remind you to drink, drink, drink.
Let's start the new year out right and be Flab U Less
Thanks @shawna357 for getting us started with our first mini challenge.

Monday
previous weight: 150.3
todays weight: 153.3
Ugh!!! I believe I've let the holidays get the best of me. Hopefully it comes off as quick as it came on, but it usually doesn't work that way. Sadly, I am almost back to the weight I was a year ago. Maybe this is the incentive I need to move my tail!!! Looking for a good number next week!!2 -
Water challenge is a great idea!
So far I have drank 3 litres or 105oz today2
