    @Navydaddjtc thanks so much for all your posts and support. You bring such a positive spirit and energy to the group. Just wanted to say thanks so much. :)

    Name its cleo
    Weigh in day: Sunday
    Week 1
    Last weight 156.4
    Current weight 155.4

    STEPS nov 30 -- 17422

    My gym challenge is over. I made it in 26 days out of 30. So that is a pretty good accomplishment for me. I'm trying to keep it up even now that the challenge is over.

    Under cals all week too, I'm more happy about that the scale, bc it's the habits that are hardest to change.

    Today is snowing and freezing rain, but I'm bound and determined to stick to my plan of outdoor cardio. On tap today is the stairsx3 and hillx4 with 4 30 second sprints on the hill.
    If it really seems slippery and like my shoes can;t; cope I will pack it in. But if I succeed then I may buy some new outdoor workout gear :)

    Then I will go to the gym and do some core work.

    hey to all the newcomers. I'm cleo, I'm Canadian, I wish I posted here more than I did but it's a fun group to be part of!

    SHARING SUNDAY
    I joined Fat 2 Fit because I love the idea of challenges and working together as a group toward our goals. Being involved with my team Mission Slimpossibles has been so much fun and so motivating. I love how my team truly cares about each other and does their best to always be so supportive. :)

    I joined Fat 2 Fit because it looked like a great way to be in a conversation with other people who were determined to improve their health. It looked so fun and motivating. I came across a mention of the group mid-month and waited for several weeks for the chance to join.

    I love love LOVE how supportive everyone is. It's a motivating conversation. I especially love how much people care and are good at helping each other see the big picture. Anytime you go south for a bit, people are right here ready to commiserate and then to cheer you on as you get back in the game.

    I also really love the structure -- the weekly weigh-in, the optional (but super helpful) check-ins during the week, and the various challenges!

    Introduction
    Howdy! I'm Austin! I joined the group about a year ago, part way through my journey, and find this group to be super helpful and supportive. I have lost 140 pounds since I started work on losing weight (January 2018), and have reached (!) my initial goal. I am now working on to build muscle and fitness. I study martial arts and love walks, especially outdoor walks, so you'll hopefully see those activities on my check-ins. I love to read up on things, and have studied nutritional science* and habit building** as I have worked on losing weight and getting healthier. Every body and every person is different, and I have enjoyed learning more and engaging in the kind of science experiment of figuring out what works for me. Making it happen has been and is still all about developing new habits for me, so every so often I burble about habit building!

    * If interested, check out the nonprofit, research-based site nutritionfacts.org as a great place to start.
    ** If interested, check out the work of James Clear. He has a book called Atomic Habits. This video on How to Get 1% Better Every Day has been particularly useful to me. He kicks it off this way: "So if you were able to improve by 1% each day for an entire year... you would end up 37 times better at the end of the year. And if you were to get 1% worse, you would whittle yourself down almost to zero."

    Check-in
    Saturday
    Calories: on target; all good, on-plan choices
    Water: on target
    Exercise: outdoor walk (52 min); platform stepping (90 min); martial arts (15 min)

    Daily Goals - Saturday
    A while back some of us chose "5 little things to do EVERY DAY through the end of the year" so as to finish the year strong!
    1. Meditate ✔️
    2. Exercise 30 minutes a day ✔️
    3. Hydrate ✔️
    4. Martial Arts Practice ✔️
    5. Thankful ✔️ Yes! For my body's ability to heal and recover!

    Sunday/Today - Goals and Improvements!
    - Stick with my food plan, measure and log everything, stay at/under calories
    - Get in an exercise session no matter what (hopefully an outdoor walk)
    - Martial arts practice
    - Get in steps (7500+)
    - Food planning and some prep for the week

    Cals under today.

    Survived snow and freezing rain and did the stairs 100x4 and hillx4 with a few jogging stints on the way up. I felt like a rock star when I finished.

    My goal for the week is to do some stretching and mobility work with my calves every day bc they take quite a beating doing stairs and running uphill.

    Sunday Check-in:
    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercise: 30 minute BOD program and some housework

    So, I've decided to not continue with my current BOD workout that I'm doing. I just don't connect with the trainer who is doing it so I'm going back to 21-Day Fix and the trainer I love. Working out has to be enjoyable for me or I'm just not going to want to do it. ;)

    Hey, @its_cleo - Holy smokes! You ARE a rock star! What an inspiring check-in!

    @Navydaddjtc , @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020 - Thank you very much for all you put into having Fat2Fit and the Mission Slimpossibles group go!

    @wwood008 , @kayla7303 and @robynleegetsfit - Welcome to the group! We are so glad you are here!

    @TeresaW1020 - "Working out has to be enjoyable for me or I'm just not going to want to do it." Such a smart choice!
    On a separate note - I love this week's challenge. Thank you!

    @digger61 - What a great day you had on Saturday!

    @Milica986 - Welcome to the group! And great weigh-in! What a great way to start your month!

    @apple852hk - Congratulations on the awesome weigh-in! It sounds like you made some great food changes that are paying off!

    @mrmcgrath and @TeresaW1020 - I too am a fan of the Great British Bake off! I love the craft (I have been baking since I was a kid) and I love the people. And, yes, even though I no longer eat sweets, I did MAKE a couple of things for the Thanksgiving crowd that descended on our house (an apple pie with a stenciled crust, a gluten-free pumpkin pie with a spiced crust and a praline layer below the custard, and a lemon meringue pie).

    Totally slacked and didn't post my steps for yesterday - 10440

    Not too shabby to wrap up November. Bravo to all of the steps we took, that's an amazing number!!!

    Goals this week are to keep moving even though it's my short week at work: I always have lower steps counts when I'm not at work. I want to work out at the gym at least 3xs but aiming for 4.

    Sharing Sunday

    This is the first year in several where I've lost weight and kept it off. I'm hoping to hit 25lbs down before the new year. It's doable since I'm just a couple pounds from it. I give a ton of credit to this group bc it makes me be accountable to someone, and in this case, my team.

    Hello everyone...

    So, I just joined WW, which means my weigh in day will need to change again (sorry) as I'm doing Saturdays now.

    My weigt also went up to 159lbs - which is in jeans weight. So it hasn't really changed but that's the new 'start' weight.

    So far so good. It's different. I've been sorted into Ravenclaw (Blue), though I'm actually a Hufflepuff, but there's no yellow.
    So my little happy symbols will be :) for within points. Which I am!

    Friday steps 14333 :) , Sat 13988 :) , Sun 2289 :(
    Hydration Fri :) Sat :( Sun :( - and I am feeling it.
    Direct correlation between drinking enough and being able to roll over in bed!

    Week 1 Challenge: Sharing is Caring

    Week One: Sharing Is Caring

    MOTIVATION MONDAY
    One of my favorite motivational quotes is from James Clear. He has a book called Atomic Habits.His video on How to Get 1% Better Every Day has been particularly useful and inspiring to me. He kicks it off this way: "So if you were able to improve by 1% each day for an entire year... you would end up 37 times better at the end of the year. And if you were to get 1% worse, you would whittle yourself down almost to zero." So all I need to do is focus on getting just a little bit better, day by day.

    Hey everyone!
    My name is Whittany and I just started this group. Around this time last year I had lost 20 pounds and had planned on making it into the new year and losing another 20. Stress and life happened and I ended up gaining most of it back so now I’m at it again, hoping to make lasting changes this time. I joined this group because I wanted and needed some accountability and motivation.

    Dec Week 1
    Monday
    PW: 217.7
    CW: 218.1

    December's goal is to finish healing from this lung infection (If that's what it is).
    I've got 4 more days on these pills, then hopefully my weight will stop yo-yoing.
    Get back to moving instead of being in bed day and night.
    I NEED to be more accurate with inputting my daily calories into MFP.
    So here's to a brand new month.
    Good luck everyone!!!

    @nbbaby - You have just been dealing with so much! Hang in there! 👐 It sounds like you will be focusing on tracking those daily calories ⚖️, which should be super helpful! Keep up that measuring, and rest up and take care of yourself! 👍🏽

    @wwood008 - Hi Whittany! Welcome to the Slimpossibles team! We are delighted you have joined us! We hope this helps you meet your fitness goals! 😊😊

    @TeresaW1020 - I love your Motivation Monday image! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🏽 🔥

    I was off of work all week last week, which for me, included no computer! Yay!

    My reason for joining F2F is that I was looking for motivation and accountability that I do not find in my everyday real life. I love this group!
