    Good evening, all. My name is Leah. I’m 27 years old and (hopefully) in my last semester of grad school. I’ve struggled with weight most of my life. I’m setting a goal to get in better physical shape, not necessarily having a laser focus on my weight only.

    January Week 1 - Sun, 1/2

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Cleaning

    Sunday 01/02
    Tracked: Yes
    Under Calories: No, but not over by to much
    Exercise: Yes, Ring Fit Kickstart 2.0 day 3, leg day. Playlist took 22minutes. Thought about doing the treadmill a bit afterwards but legs said no

    I cleaned out and sorted the cupboards and pantry today. Tossed most of the expired stuff but I also ended up snacking on some of the things I found…. Had to see if they were still good :p started making my shopping list for later in the week for what I am low on and am making sure to use the things that best by date has recently passed or will soon.

    Also on the shopping list is new batteries for my fire detectors Any beginning of the year chores you guys do?

    That’s awesome Leah, it’s not always necessarily about the number on the scale.

    I think I need to do this as well. Back to school and work for everyone in my household, so we relaxed yesterday. I went to see West Side Story with my sister.

    Hello,
    My name is Anna, I’m here for some motivation, to help motivate others, and to meet new people. Over the last couple of years, I’ve started a new job, and started college classes and I’m loving it, but I stopped taking care of my health. So I’m trying to find a balance between family, work and me time, and hopefully this challenge can be a part of that 😄

    @annacop1671 Welcome Anna! It's really hard to find that balance between taking care of yourself and also taking care of your responsibilities.
    For me, I find it easier to schedule my time better but it's still always hard to find enough time in a day.
    Hang in there and just take it a day at a time. We're all here for the same reason and we're here to support each other, you got this!

    Hi my name is Vicky. I’ve been apart of this group for a few years now. The last 2- 2 1/2 years have really been a struggle for me with my weight gain and my motivation. Not to mention my mental health. But I am ready to do this. I have spent the last few months seeing a therapist and feel my mental health is starting to go in the right direction. I ready to make my physical Heath a priority too. Looking forward to 2022.

    @vicky2767 Welcome back Vicky! I'm really glad you're getting the help you need. I see a therapist on and off too (on right now) and I can tell you that when my mental health isn't in check, I cannot tackle my physical health, it's all connected. I've come to the conclusion that we have to make time for what's important in our lives, and sometimes, we do have to make ourselves a priority.

    Hello all! Am looking forward to a new month and year of losing with you all! Am 34/F, living in Oregon and restarted my journey to better health last June after some not so good lab results gave me the kick I needed. I’ve lost weight before but gained it back and more by letting stress turn into apathy about my health. I am planning on this time being the one that sticks, making healthy habits and learning how to cook healthy foods.

    Last year I was able to lose 42lbs, fit in clothes two sizes smaller and lower my resting heart rate by 15bpm. I’ve been trying new(to me) food and have found spices and dishes I’ve really enjoyed that are healthy and delish. With exercising regularly, I can now go up stairs without getting out of breath, am able to go up hills and on hikes without feeling like I am dying and have more energy and better mental health.

    It’s an ongoing process and some days I really have to remind myself of those benefits above to keep going. This year’s main goals are losing 30lbs to get to my current goal weight of 170lbs and no longer be obese, get a regular strength training routine going and continue good habits of cooking the majority of my food and going on walks/exercising most days of the week.

    @KakoHikes You're doing an amazing job and you should be proud of your progress! It's a process and you already know that and that's half the battle! I think it's great to re-evaluate your goals as you get closer to what you thought was your end goal. I'm also really glad that you're in a better place with your overall health and mental health because they really do matter when you're trying to make lasting changes in your life. Keep going, you deserve the success you're finding!

    @southgirl94 Welcome back Leah! I think it's wonderful to set a goal to get in better shape, still don't be afraid to set other goals too, more tangible ones so you have a better measure of your progress so you can celebrate your milestones!

    Long day at work but got enough motivation for ring fit. thanks to time zones I am a day ahead on the kickstart, I see myself not wanting to do ring fit a couple days this month so hopefully will able to not get behind. There is one set rest day and another optional one so may just swap things around a bit on busy days

    Thank you Ashley. I agree with you. Mental health is so important. I thought I was handling things, but I guess I really wasn’t. But I am finding myself in a much better place now.

    I’m still willing to help out if you need.
