Hi Waistaways!👋🏼 Are you ready to make 2020 your best year yet?
Then help make that a reality by joining our Step Challenge. This challenge is among our team only (for now). All you have to do is let me know you want to participate, tell me what your daily goal is (mine is 8,000 steps), then report your steps to me right here on our January thread each day.
At the end of the week, I will give a report of total team steps and our top steppers. We even pretend our steps have taken us to fabulous places.
Please have all your steps in by 2pm Sunday ET. It is more motivating to see people’s steps coming in, so if it works for you to post daily, please do. Just be sure to include the word “steps”. Everyone is welcome and no worries if you’re just starting out. The point is for you to improve your steps.
So whether you look like the first photo or last, join the team. You won’t be sorry. 👣💪🏼😀
Forget my last comment bc I see it now! 😉1 -

On another note:
At Christmas both kids ended up with the flu (one after another), then the hubby ended up with upper respiratory infection and bronchitis, then I had/have a sinus infection and migraine for four days. I think this weekend all the caretaking finally caught up with me. I have done nothing but slept all weekend, and I am still tired. Although we have been taking ACV infused with Elderberry, it wasn’t cutting it. So I picked up regular Elderberry syrup and everyone is fully recovered. 😌Except my tiredness. 🥱😴2 -

SW 155.4
First weigh in and I already feel disappointed. I gained 4 pounds in Dec and hoped some of that would come off easier.4 -
Folks, I can't tell you the last time I woke up on Monday losing even 1/2lb. I love my Sunday & Monday nacho mix & tortilla chips. I counted my chips yesterday which is soooo boring, but it worked. 😊4

Hi Ann! Welcome and yes, this is indeed the place. Your weigh-in day is Friday, so that is the day you post your official weight for Week 1. Otherwise, please come in here any time, catch up on everyone's news, and let us know how you're doing, what is on your mind -- anything that will help keep you on track! It's a lively bunch, so checking in often will make it less difficult to read through everyone's posts3 -

This is FANTASTIC! I know, I know - counting the blankety-blank chips is NOT fun. But that weigh-in afterwards puts the big smile on your face, doesn't it? Way to go!!!!3 -

You are in the green! You might not think it is quick enough, but you know what? It probably won't bounce back up either. The MOST important thing is not to let your disappointment get you off track. This is only week 1! You're here for the long haul, right? Some weeks are like that.
The other morning, I woke up really early to the usual call of nature. I weighed myself, thinking - I'll go back to bed, get up again, pee again, and it will be even less! I thought this would be a good boost after the Christmas gain. Well, weirdly enough, the second weight was a 0.4 pound MORE than the first. Huh? How does that happen??
I'm telling that story so you remember that your weigh-in at that particular moment might have been a half pound or more off. We fluctuate a LOT. So don't worry - it's going in the good direction! Hugs to you

And more hugs flying to you @lovethyneighbor - a house full of flu really takes it out of you. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better - but keep resting! Sleep is the best medicine of all.
We have a REAL winter morning today. We got a good amount of snow over the weekend, and now it is really cold. My fave! I'll be out on the snowshoes later for sure If I were a dog, my tail would be swishing everything off the coffee table.1 -
Welp I missed my weigh in yesterday - sorry. I’m 292.6
Also, a bit about me and why I’m here. I started gaining weight in the thick of my depression after trying to conceive my now son. I loss 4 pregnancy was put on all different types of medication and when I feel pregnant for the 5th time it was a horrible pregnancy with pre eclampsia - was on bed rest majority of the time and in and out of hospital and 11 daily pills to keep me from dying of a heart attack or seizure. I basically went from 165 to 237 in the span of 3 years. But as I hold him right now I realize that type of perseverance to get him will drive me in loosing this weight and being ultimately healthy for myself and my children.
That’s not my entire story but the thick of where it went downhill for me.
Also, I’m changing my weigh in to Monday’s - Sunday’s I realize are too busy lol and forgetful apparently lol4 -

Wow. You are right - that kind of determination will stand you in good stead here. And I'll change you to Mondays no problem! I take it, though, that you mean 192.6 and not 292.6? I had your starting weight as 193.8. Let me know which one is right.1 -
Good Monday morning, friends. Thank you for those daily steps. I forgot to mention, once I see and record them, I will mark your post “Insightful.”
@lovethyneighbor Wow! That’s a lot of sick in one home. We have it here too. Hubby and I are in the hacking up your insides stage. My granddaughter, still has a cough and runny nose. She’s had it since right after Christmas. Hopefully we’ll all be healthy and strong soon.
One more note. @jugar and I do an online Pilates program. It’s normally a subscription, but right now they have a FREE five day jumpstart. She is REALLY good. Here’s the link if you’re interested.

Make it a great day!❤️1 -
@ElleBellesTheoBear You certainly have been through a lot. You can do this. It will take work and commitment, but it is very important to be kind to yourself on your journey. You have been through a lot and now have the responsibility of your little miracle. We are here to support you. It’s a journey we are all on together. We understand. There is so much to learn together.
If you or anyone ever need to vent, ask questions, need advice, etc. post here and we will do our best to help. Hugs.2 -
