Jumpstart January 2021

I've never posted here before but here goes - I started at 194 and my goal weight is 164. I'm at 189 today, which is 2 weeks in. One thing I've discovered is that drinking beer during football games, even low carb beer, completely wrecks my momentum and I'm cutting that out.
Welcome to you, too. Part of losing weight and making it sustainable is troubleshooting our problem situations. Congrats on your progress so far!0 -

Calories and carbs for the day 👍🏻
Protein over 100g 👍🏻
Close watch rings 👍🏻 Close on the move goal but I made it! I had a good strength day but was feeling stiff the rest of the day. May do some stretching in the morning to see if that helps. I started some collagen a week or so ago so I’m hoping it helps the joints.1 -

A couple of good days. I've been trying to keep my workouts varied to prevent boredom. There are so many things I want to do and I need to plan my activity like I do my meals. I think that right there might be a Feb goal I can get a jumpstart on now.2 -
