Hi all,
I was on this team last month and I managed to get through December with a lose,😁,very happy with that. But did not reach my weight lose goal for the month. I did stick to my newly established goal of exercise 4x week.
I’m going to add another class to the rotation,this will make it 5 days at the gym a week as my new January goal. I’m a bit scared about it but what the heck.
I’d like to get to 210 by February and not just track but pre- plan each day the night before. When I actually put my eating plan down the night before I eat much more healthy.
All the best for a healthy 2020!2 -
@WMEJA Hi Wendy.Hello Ashley,
My name is Wendy. I am on your team, SLIMSONS. I just want to start off by saying how excited I am to be part of your team. I know that I just sent you a message but, I am wondering, if it is not too late, if can change my weigh in day to Saturday. I like to see where I stand at the end of the week so that I can change things for the following week if that makes sense. I already weighed myself today. Thank you for your time.
Wendy
I can change your weigh in day to Saturday, only word of caution is if you post late it might not be counted for the week because I tend to do the week endings Sunday mornings. However, it's not a problem otherwise, I like weighing on Saturday too, but I have other reasons for it.

I’m still down about 23 lbs from this time last year so super happy about that but still have a lot to go. I’ve spent the last 2 months under stress and getting crappy broken sleep, I’ve got my hormones all in a mess. Heading to the doctors to look into that but in the mean time I want to reestablish my presence on this feed daily and cut the sugar. I do miss my salads but I’ve gotten lazy again and don’t even want to make myself food. Need to be diligent and get back to it!!
Good luck to everyone!
Welcome back Beth congrats on succeeding with 23lbs down and I know you will succeed in all your goals this month❤0 -

Introduction
Hi team! So excited to be part of this challenge. I did a challenge like this years ago and was very helpful and motivating for me. I will be 50 this month on the 23rd. I have a pretty stressful but satisfying job as clinical director of non profit providing mental health/ case management and permanent housing to homeless population often with co-occurring illness on a housing first model. I have two boys in college still living at home and I live in Alaska. I have had a lot of challenges with health issues over the last decade but in the last few years slowly I have lost 20 lbs. My highest was a little over 200 and currently at 165. My goal I think is 145? I am 5'6". It's been so long since I was at my goal weight I am not sure what it should be! lol. So I am going to go with how I feel and how my clothes fit as I am also pretty muscular. I recently joined the gym so have upped my workouts significantly so going every day with MWF being elliptical, TTHSa this fun awesome class called Centergy that is yoga/pilates set to modern music and Sunday restorative yoga. Diet is pretty clean as I have food allergies and have been eating a very strict anti inflammatory diet for years. I am in the process of trying to add back in more food actually. Look forward to getting to know you all better and supporting you on your journey to better health!

@WMEJA Hi Wendy.Hello Ashley,
My name is Wendy. I am on your team, SLIMSONS. I just want to start off by saying how excited I am to be part of your team. I know that I just sent you a message but, I am wondering, if it is not too late, if can change my weigh in day to Saturday. I like to see where I stand at the end of the week so that I can change things for the following week if that makes sense. I already weighed myself today. Thank you for your time.

@AB0215
Hello Ashley,
I usually weigh myself on Sunday mornings so, I would do the same thing for Saturday morning but maybe before I eat next time. I can do either day but at least on Saturday I am more likely to do it on time if I weigh myself on Saturday morning right? I do worry about posting on time. Anyway, thank you.
Have a nice day.

@WMEJA Maybe we keep it Sunday for this month and decide if you want to change to Saturday for next month, for consistency's sake.0 -

@2bemybest Welcome Kathy! I think it's hard to judge what your goal weight will be until you get there, something I've learned several times over this journey. Each time I think I'm there, I realize that I still have fat I can lose and change the number so, it's just hard to know until you get to that point where you're happy with how you look and feel.
I think diet is probably the most important aspect of weight loss and you seem like you already understand how much your diet plays a roll in your over health, something that a lot of people don't realize and you're well on your way to achieving your goals.

Week: January Week 1
PW = 164.7
CW= 165.1
Reflections: I weigh myself every day and see fluctuations. I know that I am up .4 but also know why it is so. My calories were under BUT my husband wanted to go to his favorite restaurant and share our favorite meal after watching my son coach at a high school basketball game. Sometimes my calories are under but the choices that I have made impact my weight.
@Kin59vara Some foods agree with us better than others and daily weighins can help you determine which choices work better for your body, I also weigh daily and it's definitely interesting to see how your body responds to what you eat.0
