    Daily check-in
    Calories 862
    Steps 7205

    I double checked my Calories because they seemed too low but they're correct and I didn't feel hungry after dinner so didn't want to push myself to eat more. I'm managing salad 2-3 times a week which is a big change for me.

    I took a progress pic last sat and thought I could see some progress.

    But then someone posted a pic of me from archery a couple of weeks ago and I hate it. Made me feel so fat again.

    I hate pics of me at the best of times. I wonder if I'll ever get to the stage where I can look at a picture of myself without cringing.

    @Pippin20206 I think you're beautiful and you look amazing! You will get to where you want to be!!

    @Pippin20206 I see a difference in those pics. I hope you get to the point where you don't hate the you in your pics. I still have that problem after losing 320 lbs, but it is better than it was. At least I am getting my pic taken now. You are doing an amazing job on your trek.

    I'm starting to feel like a basketball - just bouncing up and down all the time!

    One good thing about that, they bounce lower each time. My weight chart looks like the alps.

    You are doing amazing. There is a difference. Just since you started with us you have lost almost 14 pounds. I am sure you feel the difference.

    Sorry for the big gain team. Haven’t been at this weight for a while. At least back into the habits that helped me. Hadn’t realized how much of a difference 8 pounds makes for me now. When I first started MFP, a 30 lb loss translated into losing 1 pants size. Now, the 8 lbs gain is equal to a pants size.
    Has anyone seen ads for body transformation contests? I have seen 2 in the last 3 hours. The timelines were 90 days for the transformation. Got me thinking, if we are consistent 80% of 30 days that would be 24 days. In 90 days, you would be consistent for 72 days. If we can do better that is great. If less than 80%, just work on increasing the days each month. Choose something that you would like to be consistent with and note the days that you are consistent. Decide on your reward for achieving 72 days, 63 days, 54 days of consistency in 90 days. Reward yourself and let us know what you rewarded yourself with. If you would be comfortable, you can post what you are working on.
    Lets keep on encouraging and inspiring each other through the new year!

    Went over my calorie limit tonight by 300+ with thin-crust pizza and wine. Kinda frustrated that it was over, since all I ate was breakfast AND I got all my steps in. That’s alright, though. My weight is showing a downward trend, and my pants get super loose while walking today. I’ll take those victories. Good night everybody!

    @Beautyofdreams I haven't seen those ads yet but i will keep my eyes open. that sounds interesting. thank you for suggesting it.
    @red1185 thin crust pizza shouldn't have calories. grats on getting your steps in. your trend is in the right direction.
    @tahm42 at least you are getting back to walking right away. great start.
