    Hy People. I am really sorry for not posting from very long time. There was a issue with my account and it was taken down temporarily by the My fitness pal. I am so much happy the issue is resolved today. Back after so long time. Lost streaks. But the data is safe. Hope you guys accept my apology. Thank You.

    It was my dad's birthday yesterday. I didn't think we'd see him on his actual birthday, we gave him his present on Sunday. We found out he was going to be home though and we were invited out for dinner. I also got to see my brother which was great. I haven't seen him since New Years, he works so much. We got wings from a local place and I had mine with no sauce.

    We start the February challenge on Sunday so it would be great if you could gives us some feedback on our team. Here’s a couple of questions but any input is appreciated.

    What did you gain from being a member of the team?

    What can we do to make the team better?

    I have gained my confidence back and true friendships from being a member of this amazing team

    Maybe having daily or weekly challenges inside our group to get others involved and posting more :)

    Weigh In Day: Friday
    PW (Previous Weight): 213.3
    CW (Current Weight): 213
    LTD (Loss to Date): 35.5 lost to date

    Back to 213 - really I couldn't have done any better - 5lbs in January, I'm very proud after just constant gaining these past sixish months. I ordered an apartment bike for home exercise as we're bound into our third lockdown and hope that I'll find joy in it - it's still too cold to go running and I need to move again, I'm noticing all these little pains and annoyances with my underused body if that makes sense!

    I think you guys are fantastic - I really have nothing else to add. It's a safe space for me, and I feel welcome even if I mess up over and over again, something that I really struggle with. I know I could post more and engage more with others, perhaps that it something I can do to contribute more!

    Lazy day yesterday snowing and kids were in school so I laid low. Did my full body workout though. This trainer has some interesting moves than I have never done. I am almost done with week 2 of the 3 week advanced program.

    Hi everyone! My name is Heather and I'm coming to you from another F2F team. I'm excited to get to know you all!

    I'm 41, and I live in Edmonton, Canada. I just adopted a 8-week old kitten last weekend, so I'm learning how to be a cat-mom. I'm so tired this week!! LOL I've been overweight most of my life and have done the yo-yo up and down thing on diets that weren't sustainable for me. Since I started working from home in March, I decided if ever there was a time to do something about my health, this was it. I'm doing it the slow and steady way, and started by just making small but realistic changes in my life. It all started with not drinking pop at home. Since December, I've been struggling with my motivation. Happily I've kept hovering around the same weight, but I'm really hoping I can get that motivation back and get back to it.

    Please add me as a friend!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 , Sorry, I don't walk every day. I walked 1/27 for 2.26 miles on 1/28 I lifted weights for 50 minutes. The rec center limits me to an hour max so weightlifting is more of a priority to me.
    1/29
    Food logged.
    Under calories(had to use most of the exercise calories but still under.)
    Drank 96 oz. water.

    Welcome @heatherbluebell. Looking forward to learning more about you and your kitten. I swapped water for pop when I started, too. Pop is kind of my gateway drug. The sweet taste makes me crave sugary and starchy carbs.

    No problem .... Was your lifting weights light, moderate or vigorous...I can convert into steps

    Happy Saturday!!

    Hope you are all doing well and ready to start a new month. I’m glad to come in this week with a loss but a bit disappointed that it was better earlier on. I managed to get down to 195 this week kept it there for 3 days then up a lb this morning. Argh! Oh well it’s ok I just gotta keep on pushing forward.

    Here are my measurements this week.

    Previous / Current

    Chest - 108 / 107.4
    Waist - 106.6 / 106
    Hip - 110 / 109.2
    Thigh - 58.8 / 58.2
    Calf - 37.4 / 36.8
    Arm - 32 / 31.4
    Body fat mass - 43.9 / 43.4

    Let’s see how those change as I continue my strength training.
