Hi all! Been busy decorating my house for Christmas all day. I know I've been late getting the weekly steps up, but I am going to try real hard to be better at it. I will need you all to get your steps in asap and looking ahead get those steps in by Sunday afternoon. It is easiest for me to wrap them all up on Sunday, as I have little time during the week because I have childcare duties with my granddaughter. So help me out and get those numbers in on Sunday pretty please. That said, I am looking for steps for the following folks:
@jugar 28th
@jguldi11 all week
@YinxFed 27th, 28th
@eggfreak all week
@elle_runs all week (are you still doing steps?)
Please have your steps in by tomorrow. I will be doing the step wrap up later tomorrow.
@jugar I think you may have missed the exercise steps of KellyBs post. She is at the end of the November thread.

Who else is in?
I was able to hit my 9,000 step goal today. Yay! I need to drink some more water. Haven't logged, but I'm going to go fill that in when I'm done here. I really need to get out for a walk tomorrow.
This is something we did way way back when I started, but it could be motivating to do it again if you want.
Successful Sunday - What went really well for you this week? Can be non MFP too. Anything you feel you should get a round of applause for and react to those successes of others.
Motivation Monday - Post a meme or quote that motivates you. React to those posted if they speak to you.
Talk it out Tuesday - Need to vent about something? Got a challenging situation coming up? Looking for suggestions on how to handle it? Reply with hugs or suggestions.
Why Wednesday - Why are you here in MFP/Waistaways working on this healthy weight loss journey? Report Non Scale Victories (NSVs) for the past week. Cheer the team on.
Thirsty Thursday - How's your water intake going today? This week? How do you add water to your day? Tricks?
Fitness Friday - What exercise do you do? How is it going? Do you see an improvement in what you are able to do?
Silly Saturday - Post a funny meme or quote. Have fun reacting to your teammates humor!
For me, my success this Sunday was reaching my 9k step goal. Baby steps. Hopefully I'll have more success to report next week.

Wow! I can't believe December is just around the corner. December is kind of a milestone month for me. It's my one year anniversary for having my gallbladder out. I found this group and started chatting with you guys before officially starting in January. I also am celebrating 1 year of consistent working out!!!
My name is Kristi and I'm 38. I'm married and have 3 kids and 3 dogs. I work 4 days a week as an occupational therapist at a preschool center. My highest weight was 255 and I am down about 40lbs. I have been working on my weight for over a year and a half. I like to make changes that work for the whole family. I feel that I am much more successful when we do it together. It has been a slow process but some of the changes that I'm really proud of are: no more juice or pop, we make one dinner everyone eats, portions are smaller, we prefer leaner cuts of meat, more fruits and veggies and we are active together. I don't really have a goal weight but I do have a goal size. I made a photocopy of my measuring tape. When my waist shrinks, I will trim off a bit of the measuring tape until I reach my goal.
Goals for December
1. Keep working to balance my macros and eat more protein. Trying for 40-40-20 It's taking more planning and time to get right.
2. Lift heavy weights 3 times a week.
3. Do 2-3 ballet workouts a week. My hip is driving me crazy since I took a few weeks off of ballet.
4. Stay in my calorie budget.
This is a great month for me to focus on these things since I will have 2 weeks off for Christmas break.5 -
Hi friends
I am a 38y old busy mom, youngest is 2.5 and keeping me busy. I live in the UK. I'm also a student working towards my hopefully second career in mental health (very stressful). I've been overweight my whole adult life and battled weight loss up and down. This time hopefully for good. I've been with waistaway before and lost some weight, then maintained for a year until lockdown
. Sadly gained back half my loss 
. So for this round, I aim to lose sustainably, still enjoy my favourite foods (I have a very sweet tooth) but see the scale go down over time.
Welcome to all new members
. Wishing you all a great journey with this awesome group. 5 -
Happy December!! May the force be with us all this month! 😊

Motivation Monday!
I had a conversation with an amazing jazz pianist from Los Angeles one night after a concert. He had performed with a very difficult diva (understatement of the decade) and been obliged to provide all of the arrangements, direct the musicians she had hired, pull everything together in 2 days, and make said diva look amazing. No one hearing that concert would ever have known how difficult and rushed the preparation had been, how little the diva liked to rehearse, but how much she needed everything to go the way she thought it should. The concert was fabulous, and yes, that diva can sing like a goddess. After the concert, I told the pianist just how blown away I was at his performance, professionalism, and calm leadership. He was beautiful and you could tell that everyone on that stage was giving their all for him. All he said was "You do the best you can." And I said "Every. Day." We both shared huge smiles at that - he knew how hard my job was at that time as the chair of the department where the diva was one of my most aggravating faculty members (among several thorny ones!), and we had a moment. Ever since then, I hear his voice reminding me to DO (not be) the best I can every day.
Monday. Let's do this!9 -

FABULOUS!! And congrats on passing the 25 pounds loss point If you keep it off all month, there will be tiaras, dancing, and fireworks! 3 -
Came this close to saying well it's still only Nov 30th - I can restart on the 1st... Then I read @jugar 's post... " Do your best every day" and I know my best isn't to say screw it for one more day... So I will do my best today...
The 4 day weekend was pretty much a free for all, I did my exercise and such, but eating was not good at all...
I think I am going to take a break from weighing myself in December... I will still be here to post though...
My goals for December:
3 strength training days a week
2 Yoga days a week
Morning work outs 5 times per week
Be back under 160 at the end of the month

Vikki--Not only do you not say screw it. You slay it. You are inspiring the way you plan and carry out your weekly exercise regime. I see you and think you are so motivated and together. I am not there yet, but I love motivational stickers too. I think this time of year, we are best to take it meal by meal. You are right! Quitting will not get us where we want to be. Keep it up girlie! You rock!1 -
Motivation Monday - This one is so true.6 -
@conleywoods I love the idea of trimming away at the tape measure as a visual for your progress. Great idea!!3

Hello everyone! So happy to be a part of this group.
Name: Meagan
Starting weight: 189.2
Weigh in day: Saturday
I'm a Massachusetts (I see there are a couple of us here) wife to a guy I really freakin' like and a homeschooling (since 2018) mom to four amazing children. I love to spend my time outside as much as I love to spend my time playing video games. I also enjoy reading (really into self help books these days), dancing, cooking, and baking.
I'm just figuring out how to use the community part of mfp on my phone. Hopefully I catch on quick as sitting at a computer doesn't happen often for me.
I only have one goal for December and that is to log every bite that I eat.
