TEAM: The Big Butt Theory (December)

Hello team, I am a 47 yr old teacher and mother of 3. My youngest is 18 this year and she is joining me on this weight loss journey. I have used MFP many times over the last few years to log food but this is the first time I have joined the community. I am hoping that this will be the key to long term success. As I am reading through the threads I am encouraged by the support I see and the enormous success members are having with the challenges.

Hi everyone my name is Destiny from west Texas. I'm 32, a stay at home mom to 4 kids ages 9, 7, 3, and 2. I was part of TBBT in the past but my life got hectic so I needed to take a break. In January my family moved from Utah and we were renting but now we're almost settled into our new home so I feel like I can focus on my goals a little more. Since January I have gained almost 25 pounds
I'm back to where I was when I very very first joined MFP in January of 2011! I really need to lose the weight. Please feel free to send me a friend request!
@cmhubbard92 I would like to be a part of the exercise and water challenge!
Also, does our week start on Sunday or Monday? Thanks!3 -

@melblu42 welcome to TBBT! I wish you the best while getting to know the team, and participating in this challenge! I think that having your daughter on this journey will give you even more encouragement!1 -

12/1/19 Mini-Challenge:
Tracked: No
Under: Most likely not
Exercise: No... couch potato day
Today I was totally thrown off by the fact that I ran out of eggs... I forgot to get them while grocery shopping yesterday. I always make scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese on the weekend for breakfast, and I couldn't do that today... that breakfast usually keeps me level headed with my food choices during the day... so I broke into cookies I planned on making in a few days, made chip dip, and munched on last night's leftover dinner. I may just skip dinner altogether, or try to make something reasonable... 🤷♀️ tomorrow is another day, and I blame alot of this on my TOM being around the corner, and lack of planning!7 -

@Tinydancer106 I have to say, the positive to all of this is that I have had almost 100oz water so far, so that's not a worry! I will just have a small dinner and call it a night!2 -

How on Earth did we get to December already? I’m already feeling the struggle of this month after a lovely festive (but freezing) weekend. Food has been off plan and a bit nightmarish. Just need to keep myself mostly on track, hoping to make my target of 195 for Christmas Day and then keep within 2lbs of a gian between then and my birthday on 3rd of January.
Hope everyone had a fab weekend and managed better choices than me!3 -
Hello All!
My name is Ashley and I live in Indiana. I have participated in this group about a year ago
and am back. My goals are to stay within calorie counts on my fitness pal, reduce amount of alcohol consumed, and increase activity. I have a treadmill and enjoy kettleball work outs.
I'm excited to get this weight loss on the way.
Have a great week!2 -
MUAC:

Hi All,
This is my first time to participate in this group and I am very excited about it. I definitely need to be accountable to others for my dieting to work. Please sign me up for the mini ultimate accountability challenge (first entry above).
To give you a little background, I am 54 and a mom of two. I have gained 30 pounds over the years and my goal is to lose these extra pounds. I would really like to lose some weight by February when I see my doctor again. He's given me until then to reduce my cholesterol through an improved diet; otherwise, I go on medication. I'm fairly active, though I'd like to add strength training (barre) twice a week. Overeating is my main problem.
Best of luck to everyone! 4 -
