Y’all, I have really been struggling with weight loss since the holidays. I’ve had a hard time adjusting to this new meal plan. I don’t like it, I didn’t choose it and I’m having a hard time not eating forbidden foods. I’ve been consistently going to yoga, training and physical therapy but the weight is just not budging. But I have a NSV to share! I put on one of my smaller jeans today and discovered that I can pull them off without unzipping them!
I'm sorry you're struggling. Maybe you could adjust your new meal plan. I do better not having any "forbidden" foods. My "moto" is anything is fine in moderation. Congratulations on you NSV!0 -

That you are the scupltor of your own future @Smart_Beautiful_and_Strong ?
Great NSV @cre804 and if the meal plan isn't working then it won't work long term. I would see if there are alternatives that have more longevity.

Hi everyone... I’ve been out of it most of the week.
I need to skip my weigh-in today / roll my previous one to this week.
This whole week has been a complete mess with my emotions and burn-out level exhaustion. As a result, I haven’t been able to resume logging, conjure enough energy to make healthy choices, work out, or be consistent enough to step on the scale (I follow my trend weight so daily weigh-ins would be important). The upcoming week should be easier and I should have time to regroup and reorganize at work, after Monday at least. We have 3 (!!!) new people starting on Monday, I’m the only HR person and one of those three people is our (well, mostly my) assistant - the other two I can hand over to other people for onboarding after the company-level general stuff, but I have to teach the assistant everything and it will take a while for her to learn enough to be more helpful than extra work due to the learning process.
So, next week I will focus more on getting back on track: enough sleep, recover and regroup at work (and hopefully take that extra day off my boss wanted me to take), eating less junk and more generally healthy, and working out at least a couple times next week. And, back on track with weigh-ins and general consistency.
February steps:
1.2. 7942
2.2. 3650
3.2. 8392
4.2. 4475
5.2. 9143
6.2. 5487
7.2. 6625

A few months ago, an MFP friend and I figured out that we lived only about 10 minutes apart in neighboring towns! I just found that amazing, considering I only have 40-some friends! What a small world! We go to local parks to walk a few days a week, and those are the days when my step count is very high -- we generally walk 4-5 miles on those days.
Weekends, when I don't work (I'm a teacher), and I'm just sticking around the house doing laundry and catching on on tasks for the week, my number tends to be quite a bit lower.
Steps for this week:
2/2 ---- 8,752
2/3 ---- 20,312
2/4 ---- 19,447
2/5 ---- 13,466
2/6 ---- 10,097

A little less than a half lb lost. I am okay with these results. I am going to try to do better over the weekend, which is always when I fall apart.
As far as weather, I live in Wisconsin. Yes it is cold, but for me the part that really is hard is winter darkness. I drive to work in the dark, work all day indoors with minimal windows to even look outside, and drive home in the dark. I definitely get a little depressed. Sometimes I wonder if the sun even came up during the day lol.
I am so excited that it is starting to get a little lighter in the evenings and mornings now!
I feel ya....it is hard, hard, hard to keep going after you get home when it's dark out driving home, dark when you leave and little windows....I live in Oak Creek, WI and these winters are brutal w/this darkness thing....I've been having a hard time....and do grateful its staying lighter out at night💥💥💥
Oak Creek, are you kidding me? My hubby grew up there, and his Mom still lives in that house! We lived with her while we built a house. We still stay with her when we visit yearly (or more). I've probably seen you around. It's amazing all of the development that happened after we left. I still can find my way to Culver's though! All of those years in SE Wisconsin prepared us for the miserable winters of upstate NY. Perhaps it's time to become a snowbird, or at least play one on TV! I wish you best of luck in February- the worst is almost over.1 -

Wow!! Yeah, its developed quite a bit now....I remember when we built our home 20 years ago that there was nothing but farmland down the street....now it's a whole other subdivision w/homes!
Yep, well winter isn't going anywhere....we just got 6 in of snow today when it was supposed to be only 1 to 3...ha!
At least, it's staying lighter later!0 -

2020 Week 3
We are missing a few people though I have to close off January's results. There were some mighty numbers in week 4 smashing the previous weeks individual totals with @kilobykilo narrowly edging our newcomer @suzyjmcd2 and both being well over 100,000 steps for the week. 3rd and 4th were so close, literally a walk down the road separated @bigblues11 and @mustb60
1st - @kilobykilo 112,170
2nd - @suzyjmcd2 110,846
3rd - @bigblues11 73,773
4th - @mustb60 73,467
Thank you to @TwinMomma2019 and @LaurieWrobo put in their largest number of steps in week 4, and also @hipari who kept those steps coming in every day in a tough week to keep our total higher.
For January in total our week 4 top 2 swap places thought it is the same three that have shown great consistency each week that take the medals. 4th, 5th and 6th were almost a blanket finish and deserve a leaderboard place.1st - @suzyjmcd2 362,604
2nd - @kilobykilo 356,235
3rd - @bigblues11 347,166
4th - @boehle 223,209
5th - @mustb60 219,966
6th - @corporatelawmom 217,143
You all deserves congratulations on your efforts that gave us 3,869,106 steps since the start of the year. That is an incredible amount between us!!! For those that love their stats nearly everyone managed 10,000 steps at least once, though nobody managed it everyday.
Many people have already given week 5 steps so thank you
those that will bring everything up to date are;
@LaurieWrobo 7th Feb to 8th Feb
@bigblues11 2nd Feb to 8th Feb
@boehle 26th Jan to 1st Feb and 3rd Feb to 8th Feb
