January 3—214.5 - well - that's a number I never want to see again. Let's do this!
January 4—213

January 7— 213.4 - hmm - I see some tweaks I need to make
January 8— 211.9 - weight loss is weird - yesterday I had too many chips, had pizza for dinner with wine and I lose this - so bizarre!

January Goals: Log Daily, Move More, Lower BMI Out of Obese Range
January 1 - 185.4
January 2 - 184.3 (Down 1.1)
Today is day 1 of the YWA January "Move" practice, looking forward to the next 30 days of yoga!
January 3 - 183.2 (Down 1.1)
Happy to see the loss after making cheese fondue last night...just kept my portion small-ish but was still able to enjoy the treat with my family. That's my current way of eating plan...anything but in moderation. I've been very restrictive with my eating in the past and for me it is not sustainable.
January 4 - 181.4 (Down 1.8)
Yesterday's yoga was called "Open" and I definitely felt more open after it, especially in my neck and shoulders which hold a lot of tension. Will definitely bookmark this one to do again as needed.
January 5 - 181.1 (Down .3)
Feeling a little sore today, but it's a good sore. Happy to be more active again after having to take a workout break since November due to a running injury. Not going to focus on all the fitness that has been lost in the last 2 months but instead focus on being grateful that my body has healed, and I can start to rebuild
January 6 - 180.8 (Down.3)
Cooking family dinner tonight (my husband is only home for dinner 1-2 nights per week, the other nights I cook much simpler when it is just for my daughter and me), making a variation on the Sweets by Melissa Green Goddess Salad recipe...going to turn it into tostadas. Time to pre-log and see what else I can fit in my day's allotted calories. Have a great one!
January 7 - 180.4 (Down .4)
Snow day today & school canceled, so I got to sleep in instead of getting up super early to get my daughter on the bus. Got almost 8 hrs of sleep compared to my usual weekday 5 1/2 hrs, Yay! About to make some chili and get it going in the slow cooker for a cozy supper tonight.
January 8 - 180.0 (Down .4)
Yoga + a strength workout on tap for today + menu planning and grocery shopping for next week, thinking probably leftovers for dinner tonight, still plenty of chili and green goddess salad left.
January 9 - 179.2 (Down .8)
Weighed in super late this morning, not sure if I trust this number, so not getting too excited about the drop to the 170s yet, will give it a few more days to make sure it's real.

Hello Everyone from before and Newbies!
I'm Mary 64, 5'4" from Pennsylvania. My goal is to get back down AGAIN to 122 lbs. Kept it off for about 5 years and then got lazy. My body just stores Carbs too easily. I work long hours and exercise on my 3 off days/week, making up for my 4 work days. I started this challenge in November and will continue through December and January. Great group of motivating members! Thank you Jill! My goal is 5 lbs for January. My other goal is 15 lbs for Nov, Dec and Jan. Welcome back everyone! JOIN US!

@ashleycarole86
Thank you so much! I was beaming yesterday from the water weight dropping finally and still beaming today for today's weight drop too!
@ashleycarole86 You have got to be excited also. You are doing so well.
Wasn't so sure when I started MFP that being accountable to people over a social media platform would work as well as in person. But I was wrong! Thank you Lord and Everyone! :-)

Hi, I'm Karen. I found the December challenge helpful so I'm back for January. Thanks for the accountability help!
Goals for January:
Weigh, track, stay within maintenance calories, exercise, gratitude every day.
Jan 1: 143.
Jan 2: 144.3. Didn't stay within maintenance calories last 2 days. Old problem of eating after I get home from a social thing. Need to go right to bed.
Jan 3: 142.4. Again above maintenance calories yesterday, but I avoided after dinner eating, so that was a success. Met my other goals.
Jan 4: 142.2. Met yesterday's goals.
Jan 5: 142.4. Over calorie goal and didn't walk yesterday.
Jan 6: 142.4. Met goals yesterday.
Jan 7: 142.0. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 8: 143.4. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 9: 142.4. Over maintenance calories but met other goals.
Jan 10: 143. Slightly over calorie target, but met other goals. I realized that the last few weeks have been teaching me what my maintenance calories are since my weight has been very steady. So if I really want to lose weight I have to cut out something. This is a good moment for me to rethink my nightly wine drinking.4 -

Happy new year everyone! I’m Athena. I am loving these challenges, they are helping me stay motivated!
My goal for this month is to start to focus on my physical activity, this is where I struggle the most. I plan to wake up and go to the gym on weekdays every morning for 45 minutes and occasionally do classes in the afternoon. I’ll also continue to push to only eat out on weekends/on holidays. I am going to try to lose 4 pounds each month.

Happy Monday!
Each day is a fresh start… a new day… if you’re not losing, don’t beat yourself up… because that NEVER helps.
Instead:
👉take a look at your daily log… are you eating enough calories… sounds weird, I know… but it may be putting your body into starvation mode.
👉are you getting enough protein? Protein fills you up for longer.
👉are you getting enough fiber?
Don’t throw in the towel… just keep pushing through. If January is your first month with us, then consider it your month to learn about your habits. This is your tweak month. Make small adjustments for healthier results.
Love you all! ❤️

January goals: minimize processed food and lose 1 pound a week. I weighed in at 1.6 pounds over yesterday's weight, but I'm pretty sure it's water weight from too much salty popcorn last night.
Highest weight: 185
Current weight: 155
January weight lost so far:
January 01: 156.0
January 02: 155.6
January 03: 155.6
January 04: 156.4 While I was under my calorie goal yesterday, I ate too much processed food in an attempt to get it out of my house as fast as possible and was way over on my sodium intake. I hate to just throw it all away, but maybe that is what I need to do.
January 05: 156.0
January 06:156.0
January 07: 156.8 Arthritis flared so badly yesterday that I got in 0 minutes of exercise and just sat on the couch all evening eating homemade vegan pizza and suffering. Shame, shame, shame......it's a little better today.

January 10 - 179.1 (Down .1)
Yesterday's yoga was more meditative than movement, so more of a rest day overall. My goal this week is in addition to daily yoga and my strength workouts, is to get more steps in. Will need to be on my treadmill though, a little slippery & slushy outside currently.

I'm almost into maintenance and thought I'd leave a few thoughts here in the hopes that it will help others. This is my third tour of duty on MFP. The first two times I lost 25 and 15 pounds. This time my targeted loss was 26 pounds. It's taken me three full loss periods to finally learn things I think will help me maintain and stay engaged after target. Some members have lost way more than me and some know way more than me. But if these thoughts help at least one of you, I'm glad to have left them.
1. This not a race with a specific weight loss goal, it's a lifestyle change. True success is gaining insight, tools and habits that work. Once we do that the weight will come off. I promise. The road to that can be found here there are so many resources. And it won't happen instantly. It's a process and a very rewarding one if you submit to it.
2. Deal with discouragement in a healthy way. Accept that discouragement at times is unavoidable. I got discouraged at times and I lost weight at about 2 pounds per week exceeding my target of 1 pound per week. As much as it feels like failure when the scale goes up, and it will no matter what you do, ask yourself if you've made progress building sustainable, good habits. Because that's what your success depends upon. That's the true measure. I promise.
3. You CAN build good habits. I had terrible habits and spent most of my of my life able to eat whatever I wanted. I had to relearn almost everything. One step at a time. Be patient, this is a process.
4. Open your mind and embrace that breakthroughs come sometimes when you don't expect them. The key is showing up and placing effort.
5. Find self love. Want for yourself a healthy body and lifestyle and know that you deserve it. Do whatever it takes to get there. This point trumps the others.
I don't mean to simplify this or suggest what helped me applies to everyone. But I believe in you. If you are here and read this you're showing up...and .... you can do this....

**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
01/01…...190.0…..(Trend Weight 191.5)….. Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been slipping, sliding and teetering back and forth since October (just prior to needing cancer scare breast surgery). I’m ready to stop eating all my emotions and grief and get back on track to the business of heath and well-being. Recommitting today!
01/02.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 191.4)….. I am happy to see my weight trending down. It feels like faith in me. I’ve been doing better on my meals but little to no movement for two reasons. First, I am still sick and too weak and unsteady. Second, I am having a “temporary floor put down in about 1000 throughout most of my main floor to rid myself of horrible carpet that was in the kitchen and dining room! I don’t know what the old owners were thinking but the kitchen carpet was actually RED so this new vinyl with suffice until the rooms are fully remodeled and my click flooring can be installed. Everything throught the 900 sq ft area is now piled up in my livingroom. I have no stove or fridge, they are in living room too. Food in cold garage. Exercise is out of the question at this point so it’s a good time to be sick. I’m wearing mask while workers are here to keep my germs to myself.
01/03.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 191.3}….. No clue why except for restricted movement during a floor remodel project that’s not going so well. Keeping the faith.
01/04.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 191.4)….. Besides lack of movement while still trapped in my packed livingroom during floor reno in multiple rooms, I think it is the 2% milk bloating me up because my meals honestly have been pretty good. I’ll have to go back to drinking my Fairlife now that the holidays are over. It’s lactose free and not bad tasting once you get used to the unusual smell.
01/05.…..193.2…..(Trend Weight 191.6)….. Obviously I need to start logging my food again. Without snacks it seems like I’m not doing badly on the dietary side. I know my movement is little due to the renovation, but this is crazy. Keeping the faith!
01/06.…..194.0…..(Trend Weight 191.8)….. Sadly, I know this is not water weight. It’s lack of movement and calorie burn from the floor reno. It’s make-shift meals that I am trying to be reasonable on since there is no stove or fridge. It’s too easy to grab cereal for a meal with milk from the coolor and other such things that I normally stay away from. Sandwiches which add up to too much bread overall for the day etc. Flooring man left at 10:30 so another late dinner. I am hoping the work will be completed today so I’m not trapped in my livingroom for much longer! Making plans for a comeback my friends!
01/07.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 191.9)….. I got in a little more movement yesterday by beginning to pack up Christmas stuff in the livingroom where I’m confined until the floor are done. They will be done today for sure and I will be free to roam the house again and put my appliances back into place. Yay!
01/08.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 191.9)….. A little extra packing Christmas Away Work helped. Diet about the same. Not bad but could have been improved. Today the floor will get the final finish with mouldings going on etc. then the handyman will help take down two trees and carry up totes of household décor that goes back in. I will try to be even more mindful with my diet. Most failures occur in the snack department. STARVING today already so this will be a challenge!
01/09.…..192.2…..(Trend Weight 191.9)….. Very nice well-planned meals yesterday. Binge on snacks last night. The uptick is my own fault. I’ll do better today.
01/10.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 192.1)….. A lot of unexpected company. No lunch. Pizza for dinner. Pushing water today.

Happy New Year!
I’m back at it again! My goal this month is to just get into a groove of hitting 10k steps per day and track all my food. I also want to get back into working out on my elliptical by next week at the latest!
Highest weight: 216.4
January SW: 216.4
January weight lost so far: 6.0
January goal: 208 lb
January 3 - 216.4 lb
January 4 - 215.2 - normal drop after eating good for the first time after nonstop crap food and alcohol. I feel better overall so let’s keep pushing forward.

January 6 - 212.4 - another good day!
January 7 - 211.6 - another good day!
January 8 - 210.8 - had a great Friday but tonight is my ‘cheat’ day. I have volleyball tonight and it’s a beer league with snacks. I want to indulge a little but not over do it and ruin all my progress.
January 9 - 210.4- I was expecting a gain. Hoping to do extremely well today so I don’t see the gain tomorrow.
January 10 - 210.4 - good day to prevent a gain from Saturday

January 2—188 (First day of 2022 was mostly spent in the car driving the 11+ hours to my Dad's. I had gotten up before the drive to ride my Peloton and got a PR on my 45 minute time. I have to be more creative while I'm here to get my exercise in but you can bet I'll be doing just that!)
January 3—188 (Enjoyed the second day of 2022 at my Dad's house. It's cold here but I got my 10K steps by walking inside. I also did a short dumbbell workout and yoga session. He cooks lots of veggies with his meals so that's been great.)
January 4—186.8 (Finding ways to stay active at Dad's. We had supper at my Aunt and Uncle's house last night - homemade lasagna. Finding ways to stay on track despite being out of my normal routine.)
January 5—188.2 (Back on the road today, heading home from Dad's. Last meal was Chinese food and I ate a little more than planned. Back to normal routine tomorrow. Overall my weight is down on this trip which is great.)
January 6—187 (Great drive home yesterday, did my longest Peloton ride ever when I got home. Back to normal routine but not back to work until tomorrow.)
January 7—186.8 (Work day flew by, Peloton ride on my lunch break, video chat with my mother-in-law tonight. Happy weekend!!)
January 8—185.2 (Up early but hoping to doze a bit more as I had a poor sleep which is unusual for me. We shall see what fun we get up to today!)
January 9—185.4 (Had a nice and relaxing day around home yesterday but did also manage to get outside for my first walk of 2022 - the cold had finally settled just enough to make it bearable! Looking forward to the same again today.)
January 10—184.8 (Yesterday my husband and I went out to trying snowshoeing for the first time. Had a blast! Busy day at work today but I had my 100th Peloton ride live before I started and got a shout out... fun milestone for me!)

Hi, I'm Karen. I found the December challenge helpful so I'm back for January. Thanks for the accountability help!
Goals for January:
Weigh, track, stay within maintenance calories, exercise, gratitude every day.
Jan 1: 143.
Jan 2: 144.3. Didn't stay within maintenance calories last 2 days. Old problem of eating after I get home from a social thing. Need to go right to bed.
Jan 3: 142.4. Again above maintenance calories yesterday, but I avoided after dinner eating, so that was a success. Met my other goals.
Jan 4: 142.2. Met yesterday's goals.
Jan 5: 142.4. Over calorie goal and didn't walk yesterday.
Jan 6: 142.4. Met goals yesterday.
Jan 7: 142.0. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 8: 143.4. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 9: 142.4. Over maintenance calories but met other goals.
Jan 10: 143. Slightly over calorie target, but met other goals. I realized that the last few weeks have been teaching me what my maintenance calories are since my weight has been very steady. So if I really want to lose weight I have to cut out something. This is a good moment for me to rethink my nightly wine drinking.
Jan 11: 142.2. Met goals yesterday. I cut back my nightly wine by half. I'd like to cut it out completely for 3 or 4 nights per week but I need a little time to get my head around that. I'll think about health and taking care of myself and that will help me get there.6 -

January goals: minimize processed food and lose 1 pound a week. I weighed in at 1.6 pounds over yesterday's weight, but I'm pretty sure it's water weight from too much salty popcorn last night.
Highest weight: 185
Current weight: 155
January weight lost so far:
January 01: 156.0
January 02: 155.6
January 03: 155.6
January 04: 156.4 While I was under my calorie goal yesterday, I ate too much processed food in an attempt to get it out of my house as fast as possible and was way over on my sodium intake. I hate to just throw it all away, but maybe that is what I need to do.
January 05: 156.0
January 06:156.0
January 07: 156.8 Arthritis flared so badly yesterday that I got in 0 minutes of exercise and just sat on the couch all evening eating homemade vegan pizza and suffering. Shame, shame, shame......it's a little better today.
