Happy Sunday Slimpossibles!
My name is Jen and one of your team captains along with the always Awesome @broncobuddee! It was so great to wake up and see all of the posts this morning along with Mark’s great summary of our team and challenges.
As for introductions - I am a 43 year old mother of 2 - 12 and almost 6 year old boy and girl respectively. I also work full time outside of the house at the city’s public library. I work in Human Resources. I live in the frigid city of Calgary, Alberta. 🥶 I can’t wait for winter to be over!!!
Warm welcome to @angielove88 and @embersdream! @embersdream - when I read your introduction it was very familiar. After my first child I lost a lot of weight and it came off easy. I don’t remember struggling or ever feeling frustrated with the pace of the weight loss; it just happened I loved how I looked and felt. I gained 50lbs with my second child and I’m still trying to lose it. It’s been a long slow road for me. I feel like I have tried many things but at the end of the day what I always come back to is consistency. This journey requires consistency and willpower. A few things that are working for me recently are:
1. Pre-planning (which I did last night while we watched the hockey game)
2. Moving more
3. Really watching calories in and calories out through MFP and my FitBit
@embersdream - this team is great. You will learn a tonne about yourself and your journey.
Have a great day everyone!!!
Thank you. We got this !1 -

Hi all! I'm Jen W. from Wisconsin. (I'd like to complain also about the winter, but @Kres567 has us beat for sure!) I have two grown boys, one at home, a dog Monroe, and a husband, Dan. I work as an Executive Assistant for a medium sized company.
I started back up with Slimpossibles a few months ago. I'm looking for extra accountability in the tracking/eating and strength areas. There are so many fun, supportive people on this fantastic team.2 -

Welcome to all our new members! I am Sharon and I live in the Niagara area in Ontario, Canada. I am the mother of twin boys (almost 17) and I run a private home daycare since my boys were babies.
I have struggled with weight most of my life. Boy, if I knew then what I know now!! I have tried using MFP to lose weight in recent years and failed miserably so I have learned the eating plan that works best for me is Weight Watchers. However, back in October my sister invited me to join this group and I love the support I receive here. It has been a great tool for me (in addition to WW) to not give up on this journey we are all on. I have learned so much and continue to learn from everyone here.
A big thank you to all our leaders, motivators and members that all work to make this group what it is. I appreciate you all!3 -

THANKS.1 -
Check in for yesterday and today....
Calories/WW points were way over
Water didn’t track that but I know it was not enough.
Exercise didn’t happen for me as I hoped this weekend. Did not find any me time even though it almost happened Saturday. Sat on my butt watching ball hockey all weekend. Good news is my boys’ team won the whole thing. So happy for them.
My weekend did not turn out at all like I planned. Such is life. So now I am seriously in the negative for my WW points. (Too many cocktails and too many snacks.). I will spend the next couple of days being as active as I can to attempt to still have a loss this week. I had such high hopes for this weekend too! But I will say my goal was to make at least one improvement for my weekend and I have done that by checking in here and I also tracked every morsel all weekend long which are things I don’t normally do on weekends. So....yay me! Lol3 -
