Here is your Team chat room for December 2020. This is where you weigh in every week, post your goals and progress, discuss any issues or topics of interest, share ideas, support your teammates, receive help when you need it, and dream big. Try to post every day, and help each other succeed!

HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Every challenger weighs in on their chosen day, every week without fail! At the end of each week, the tallies are done to determine the team and individuals with the most weight lost. The best losers are announced with full fanfare every Sunday. The team competition is all in good spirits - may the most losing win!
We also track those small, steady losses with the Green Week count. If you lose, however small an amount, it counts for 1 week in the green. The total will be by month, and cumulative - so you can really rack them up and get to your goal even if you aren't at the top of the weight loss leaderboard.
To make your weigh-in easy to find for your team Captains, please put it right at the top of a message, and use this format:
Username
Weigh In Day
PW (Previous Weight):
CW (Current Weight):
LTD (Loss to Date): your TOTAL loss since your highest weight ever (optional)
If you need a week off, a break, a change of weigh-in day - just ask your Captains here on your team chat page. If you take a break, you are moved to the Support Team. If you miss two weigh-ins in a row without asking for a break, you will be dropped from the team, so be sure to ask if you are travelling, sick, or just needing some time off. You can remain on the Support Team for as long as you need to. You still participate in the discussions and weigh in if you want to, but your weigh-ins will not be counted on the weekly tally.
Once you reach your goal weight, you join the Goal Zone! After hitting your goal, you need support to stay there, and you can help your teammates join you. You continue to weigh in every week, and if you have 2 weeks above your self-defined goal zone, you go back to the regular team to lose that amount before it builds up. You will have a chance to hone those maintenance skills and stick with your team!
In addition to your own team, there are F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, so we hope to see you there often! These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and they’ll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey. Check the Announcements section for full group challenges.
Let’s show our fellow challengers some F2F love! Introduce yourselves right away, and let the new month begin!!

I am Beka, one of your Team Captains and Group Moderator. My counterpart and bestie is Julie, aka @Boehle.
I am 44, married, mom of 2 daughters, Mimi of one amazing grandson, and human mom to 3 fur babies. I usually live in the beautiful mountains of Northern Georgia, but currently residing in Florida as I am acting nanny to my sweet grandson.
I started my journey 3 years ago at 242 lbs, lost down to 174 (-68 lbs) and maintained almost 9 months before gaining back to 232. It is only failure if you quit... right???
For my second time around, I am currently down about 74 lbs from my highest...
Thanksgiving has skewed the sales a bit.
STATS
Age: 44
Height: 5'7"
Highest weight: 242, November 2016
Current weight: 168 ish
Goal Weight: SEXY AF
December Goals:
- 165 lbs
- Continue to my NEAT or non-exercise activity thermogenesis.
- Increase my EAT - exercise activity thermogenesis.
- focus on consistency of steps.
If you have not already, feel free to friend me. Please make your diaries open. Your teammates (umm - or me) might want to borrow your ideas that keep you in check.1 -
Hello!
As the username suggests, my children are dogs. 7 of them to be precise.
Highest weight: unknown (I stopped weighing after 210, but looking at past photos I continued to gain after that point).
Current weight: 173.8
Goal weight: 135
I enjoy hiking with the husband and the dogs. We built a home gym in the basement so that I have no more excuses for skipping the gym, but I still don’t use it as often as I should.1 -
Happy December to Shrinking Assets NEW and existing members. My name is Tanya, I’m 44 and live in a small rural community in Ontario, Canada. I am married with 2 kids -14 year old son and 11 year old daughter-we have 2 wiener dogs and 4 cats (including a big old Maine Coon). I tipped the scales at 257 in October-just kept teetering and fluctuating up and down incrementally and so there was never any big shocks leading up to it -“oh, I’m 5 pounds up for my period”, back down -only 4, but I just ate etc etc. and I snaked my way up close to 30 pounds without REALLY noticing. My October weight hit me though as I realized I was a few pounds or a meal away from saying “oh, I’m 260, but it’ll go down” and the pattern would continue. I was also feeling like crap and scared about health. My doctor started me on a daily injection-Saxenda -and I’m about 6 weeks into it -took awhile to dose up. I have no appetite and I eat just a small portion when I do. Problem is, with all of these tests, I do have something not great going on with my thyroid and this medication can increase your risk of thyroid cancer of all things, so my plan in December is to get some of these habits ingrained so I can step away from the medication sooner than planned. I’m committed to stepping up my exercise game -just saw @Beka3695 mention something about NEAT...I’m going to go look it up. I’m also committed to being on this post more -the dialogue and support is only as good as you make it. The format of the app is not super user-friendly, but this group is and I look forward to making some strides in a month that can be challenging to so many -stress, grief, isolation-let’s lean on each other.2

WOOO HOOO!!! Looks like SHRINKING ASSETS is F2F royalty once again!
Way to go team! Let's see what we can do during the month of DECEMBER!!!1 -
Well, starting off the holiday season w/a bang. I haven't really tracked since Thursday and feeling like crap all weekend b/c I had some gluten laden desserts that I don't usually have EVER and paying for it in the way I feel and weight I have gained-all in all, feeling depressed, low and don't feel like doing much of anything.
I have 2 big all day meetings this week so that means I have to get my butt up early to get my workout in b/c I won't get anything done during lunch which will consist of a 15 min break to grab some food.
So.....yeah.....I'm not doing well mentally or physically.....5 -
This week's Challenge is UP! And I hope it will help - you'll pick 2 magic numbers to track all week, and post every day about how they are going. You can change during the week if you need to - as long as you track 2 things every day. Check it out!

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

I do have a furbaby. Peter is def my ride or die (my 5 year old boxer/hound).

Hello Team.... Happy December!!
I am Kelly and I am a repeat customer to the F2F team. I am a 51year old wife to an amazing man who truly loves me for me, no matter what my size and there have been a few over our lifetime 🤷🏼♀️🙃 I am a Mom of three boys. My oldest will be 26 on Thursday, my middle son is 22, and my baby just turned 17 this past sunday. We have two furbabies, an 8 yro Bull Mastiff named Matilda and an 18 yro Black Mouth Cur named Rascal. Yes I said 18 🙌 we have had her since she was 9 months old our old girl must be part cat as she thinks she has 9 lives 😅 i work full time as the VP of Lending for a small credit union for the past 8 years.
My journey... in 2016 weighing in at my highest ever weight 260lbs. My husband and I being overweight and our cholesterol through the roof (me allergic to the statins)decided on a lifestyle change. That change afforded me a 75lb loss and normal cholesterol numbers. We managed to keep the weight off for just over 2 years. Then life happens, i went into menopause and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia with in the same month. The estrogen meds they put me on put on the first 25lbs then the emotional eater in me thought eating would comfort the pain... viola the remaining 50lbs suddenly appeared. 🙄

I drug out my laptop today and put together the December nerd sheet.... and I’m using it.
I was still over calories. I’m currently dealing with a flare up of my back issues (changing seasons??) so exercise has been missing. I find that my eating is WAY worse when I don’t exercise. I will do my best to go for at least a short walk today. This will be added to the check in above.
I have peaked at the scales and will be up for the week. I am owning it. I will regain control!!!
