I am so impressed with all of you logging your weights already this week. I think it's going to be a great week for our team!!!
@annabananamc That looks like a wonderful place to go for a walk!! Sitting here at my desk with a turtleneck and sweater and a blanket coving my legs I am so jealous!!2 -

Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes
Water: 80+
Steps: 9600
This morning my car has an appointment for an oil change at the dealer, so I'll walk around there for an hour and save myself waiting indoors during COVID so win-win!
@annabananamc I do that too. My car dealer is about 1/2 mile from the mall so I walk over, shop and walk back. They're always "Are you SURE you don't want the courtesy van to drive you???" No thanks, I'll walk.

On a great note, I haven’t seen this much participation in a very long time so I’m getting very excited about the months to come with this group!
@Krysless2 I know, isn't it great?! The other day when I came back to the page I had 42 unread posts!! It's great to see the new people jumping in with both feet!!

I am very down today and so frustrated. I have gained back about 20 pounds since November and just can't seem to get back on the wagon. I start each day thinking this is the day I turn it around, then I end up overeating and then feel even worse. I guess I just need some tough love, a kick in the butt, a push, something! I thought maybe if I post here, it will help, because I don't want to let my team or myself down by gaining again this week.6

Wow the difference in this thread between December (hardly any posts cause almost everyone gives up over the holidays) to January when you have dozens of posts to catch up on when you log in.

I know this feeling all to well. The good news is you do get a fresh start every single day.
I know everybody is different, but I can say personally that checking in on this message board does help keep me accountable. If you ever see that I haven’t been on here for a week or two, unfortunately that means I am off the tracks again.
Hope you have a better day today!3 -

@RisingAboveIt I agree with @erikNJ about getting a fresh start every day. I think my favorite Maya Angelou quote captures the sentiment perfectly. “This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.”
I also agree with him that coming here and perusing the posts helps. Even if you don't post yourself, just knowing that there are people going through the same struggles helps a great deal.
Have a wonderful day! 2 -
Wow, TBBT!
You are all doing awesome. So much determination and suppport going around. Keep it up and do not lose momentum. We can achieve our goals.

@cmhubbard92 ok, post it in both places even though there's some duplication...I missed Sunday the start day to post here but I did post Sunday on the spreadsheet on Sunday. New here, obviously...and only on my weigh in day (Friday for me) include my weight to the MUAC do I include my weight here, right? Or do I include the weight here every day?
@maryc11
I found your MUAC log on the spreadsheet and have it down. You only have to post your weight on your specified weigh in day.1 -

Thinking of you today! When I check back in I’m gonna have a good piece of *kitten*-kicking advice in store! Lol

@thedestar I understand. This happens all the time. I log and stay under calories and my husband will do an after dinner run to the store and bring home something delicious.1 -

I love sweets, so I totally get this. Once I start, I can't stop eating them. It's great you were able to stay under calories.

I am feeling similar. I was doing really well over the summer and put back on a lot because I just lost some focus. What if you make a solid plan for tomorrow? You could pre-track, prep your meals and plan for one amazing snack or dessert that you know you will enjoy that fits in your calorie budget. Maybe that will get you on a track and help move forward.4 -
