Pancakes and waffles for February! I promised my granddaughter if I made my January goal we would indulge in February. I have really been thrilled with the weight loss. I’m planning to scale back down to 1 pound a week for the next 4 weeks. That should be interesting.
Last night I made almond chocolate truffle balls for both my new branches. My family loved them but I wouldn’t taste one till after weigh in.

Good Morning
I think I speak for everyone when I say, "Our Hearts and Prayers go out to everyone living in those areas that are being hit by extreme and life threatening temperatures." Please, to all our friends and families, try to stay indoors and if not, be sure to protect yourselves from the extreme cold.
As always, if you are a challenger and you are unable to participate in a weigh-in due to an emergency or natural disaster (which this is), simply let a captain or moderator know and you will be excused during that time.
To those of us who are not in those areas affected, please, be sure to take a moment and reflect or pray for those that are...
Stay Safe and Warm!
Steve

It is dangerously cold here in Michigan and many other places today. I am here at work but I doubt there will be much activity. Town is quiet. But I am in a warm office and I have my space heater running. I have packed some great food for the day and dinner is already planned. I am working on getting my momentum back.
@lenka1 The glasses are taking a little getting used to. But they are growing on me.
@hope002 I love that you are trying snowboarding. my son before he moved to florida use to snow board. I tried it. it was impossible for me to master! good luck and have fun!
@nstephenson01 yay nancy is build quite an impressive string. sounds like your day is full with household tasks.
@ihp2015 what a great present! he is a very sweet guy. I am going to miss you tho on our fit bit challenges. and yes, it is starting sunday feb 3rd and you will post your daily steps in our team weight no more thread.
@Cafelelia looks like you got about the same amount of snow as us. I love the snow as long as I don't have to venture out in it. I guess I like to look at it not play in it!!
@eyesopennow ohhhh nooo. that is terrible. I am praying for an answer.
@phoebe112476 I am so glad you found your groove! It was just ment to be. good job at staying commited to your plan. take a picture of how you are feeling right now. the momentum you have built up. it is really important for you to internalize and commit to memory this feeling of success. write it out on a stickie note and put it on the frig. you are GREAT!!
@sleepymom5 thanks about the glasses. I am still getting used to them. I have never had dark frames before. they have always been real light or frameless. but this is whats is style and they are the cutest dark purple.
@gottagetthisdown ohhh no. that's ok. you know how this works. just put that weigh in away and start again. that's the great thing about this. this one gain does not ruin all the hard work you have done.
@GingerPwr maintains are good. you have had a great January now lets hit it hard in February.
@Mrsbell8well well!!! now you have been doing awesome. I am so proud of you for all the hard work you have put in. look at the new you go. good job!! and those balls look delish!!

Home sweet home today....,-30 here in Minnesota so our office is closed today as is most of the state! Still sitting in bed drinking coffee and checking my emails. I brought my laptop home as I have some work to do, but it will be a nice quiet day!
Yesterday food wise was good with lots of water, steps and yoga!
Hope everyone has a great day!4 -

So, it is 25 and sunny in Philly AND my first day was rescheduled to Friday because of inclement weather. I am not going to lie, I wasn't really paying attention to the weather because I was finishing up things for my Mom and trying to get stuff done to start work today. My daughter who goes to a local college about 30-40 min away got snow so I guess there was bad weather somewhere...Now I have an extra 2 days to finish up things AND to get back on track. Yesterday was ok and I hit my goals, today will have to be better.
@gottagetthisdown Hope everything is ok. We are here if you need us.
@Gingerpwr You did great this month! Maintains aren't bad. Don't let it get you down!
@Mrsbell8well OMG! The 150s!! That is awesome!! Those truffles look yummy and the presentation is beautiful!
@cyndiesstuff Sounds like you have a great day planned. You can do this! I am off since my trip so I am trying to get back on track too. Purple?! Thats so cute!! I got a dark pair too, Shannon talked me into it. They are darker and bigger than I was used to. I like them now but I didn't at first.
@carlsoda I like that you are making the best of a very cold situation! Enjoy your warm bed while you can and stay inside!4 -

Met my goals yesterday and had a lot of fun with both kids home!
@carlsoda I didn’t realize you also lived in Minnesota! I’m just north of the Twin Cities. It looks so beautiful and sunny out the window…but with an unbelievable -49 wind chill. I am getting antsy to get outside! Just a couple more days and should be nice.
@cyndiesstuff Hope you are feeling better today. You’ll find your momentum again! Stay warm!
@nstephenson01 You’re doing great! That ice can be so dangerous…good thing you found a safer alternative.
@Cafelelia Looks like your kids enjoyed their snow day! Hoping we can get out and play in the snow here soon too.
@Mrsbell8well Look at you go!! Officially in the 150s! Your almond truffles look delicious.
@eyesopennow Sure hope you can find a solution that works better soon!
@GingerPwr 6 pounds in a month is fabulous!!
@phoebe112476 Way to go getting yourself into a routine that works well for you. I also would like to add in some strength training in February, so need to get a plan in place.
@sleepymom5 Nice job hitting your goals yesterday! Enjoy your extra couple days!

@carlsoda your so lucky your office closed. my boss is so self centered. he didn't come in today but I am here! lol. he's a turd.
@sleepymom5 two more days to get nervous. ughh. well at least you can get caught up from your recent trip and maybe get in a little Pam time. I feel exactly the same way about my glasses.
@Shirin_K good job at meet your daily goals. make sure to give yourself credit for all the hard things you do everyday to meet them!!
@nstephenson01 you be safe too girl. chat at you later.2 -
Hello everyone and thanks for all the positive feedback! I just stayed on track with my food and exercise. After being off-track for so long, my body responded quickly.
This week was a little slow go over the weekend, but I am back on track again. My hubby and sons have been sick along with many of my co-workers, I think it finally caught-up to me
I am drinking lots of green tea and taking a decongestant. I went to the gym last night and felt fine. I am going to do my workout at home tonight.
The temps are supposed to drop and get bitter cold, which seems to be the case in most places in the US. Crazy weather! We have not gotten any snow yet, supposed to hit us this afternoon, but not too much accumulation. Trying to remember that summer bodies are made in the winter and summer is not too far away.
Have a wonderful day!

I hope you can go home early. I have been working so am not falling to far behind. On my lunch break right now with my electric blanket 😁2 -
daily checkin
food under (as I am swimming later I may have a late snack and get to target)
water no idea I have been struggling to drink water as it so cold having lots of tea though
exercise 20 mins spin swimming.
@mrsbell8well yummy more delicious treats
@lenka1 well done for not giving up it is tempting when you have a set back to say hang it all.
In answer to your questions:-
Do you have a timeline for your goal? I plan on losing 1lb a week I want to make sure that I am making sensible long term changes for my diet that are sustainable. I guess I will get to goal about June. When I started the programme I lost a lot of weight really quickly and I struggled to maintain it. I also know that when I get closer to my goal my weight loss slows down weirdly the less I have to lose the harder I find it
How often do you lift weights? Cardio? I have been going 5 sessions a week but this week I have been really struggling. At the end of this cycle I start training for a half marathon so I will be doing a lot less. I do a lot of cardio because I am trying to maintain my tri fitness some might argue too much I try to do 2 swims 2 runs and 2 spins a week. It is a lot (so my husband says). I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.0 -

Daily Check In for Tuesday
Food - Logged & on target
Water - not enough!
Exercise - physio & 7652 steps
Extreme cold here in Toronto as well. Hope that everybody experiencing this stays safe & indoors. Had my physio appt today & I continue to improve! I have a new set of daily exercises this week, that are more intense & focus on core. I maybe, just maybe can see the light at the end of this tunnel. Would be great if I could run a short race (5 k) in June.1 -
Ok..It is 21 degrees here (but we are having wind) It is freezing! I just can't imagine how cold it is where you all are!! Hope this ends for you soon!!
@Shirin_K I didn't realize you were in that crazy cold weather too! Stay warm!
@Nstephenson01 Stay warm too! What do you do with the dogs? Do they just go to the bathroom quick and come back inside?
@kirsten11872 You seemed to have gotten back on track! Great job! Keep it going!
@cyndiesstuff Hope you stayed warm and went straight home after work!
@ihp2015 Keep it going! You will have a drop! At least it is heading in the right direction!
@amsandos Another nice day! Keep it up! If you're having decaf tea it counts as water too!
@Twyla77 Lol! I guess you didn't start right on Jan.1 then. Still a very big accomplishment!
@Cafelelia Glad that you can see improvement with your PT. I hope you can do the 5K, it would be something to look forward to! Stay warm!6 -
We had some snow overnight, I did some shoveling today for my workout because I just wasn't feeling it today. The next few days are going to be freezing, they are already delaying the start for some schools. Not looking good on the scale, I just think we are not friends. I have been working out and eating right. I feel like I am getting up at 4 for nothing when I actually could be sleeping.4
