Hi folks. My 2018 did not go as planned and I gained about 50 pounds instead of losing it. I know exactly why-I fell into my bad habits.

I kept telling myself that come January I’d get back on track. Yesterday I realized that was an excuse to overindulge over Christmas. So I’m starting today with my logging and meal planning. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it. Hopefully this public commitment will help keep me on task and inspire you to join me for strength and support over the next few days and into the the year.

I find our “news feeds” as a great way to stay connected so feel free to send me a friend request or request one from me and others by replying. I look forward to meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones! :)

    Last year I did the same thing.. only the day or so after Christmas. I told myself I'd start early instead of being like everyone else and jinx myself by starting in January. That head start paid off. I did lose my weight and got it off before summer. You can do it.. just go for it!

    I too started last year the day after Christmas motivated by Kstephenson40. So glad I found this post today. I plan to get back to logging my food daily and get off the sugar train.
