At this point I'm not even trying. I need to turn things around! So tired of being fat and out of shape, but it's so hard staying committed. *SIGH*
What is one thing you can do that will improve your health? Pick one. Do it consistently. Doesn't matter if you lose weight ... Just improve one habit. Maybe it is eating one piece of friut or one extra veg or whole grain bread instead of white (I don't know what you eat) or taking a 30 minute walk a day. Do it for 3 weeks--that's how habits build.1 -

You’ll eventually find your thing. For me it was stopping the 30-60 minute cardio workout videos. I hate them, and I refuse to do them for the rest of my life. I go for walks instead. When I telework, my neighbors will often see me walking down to the stop sign and back (6 min) before my next teleconference. Just getting some movement in.
When I do cardio now, it’s super short. 10-20 min max. I don’t mind getting on a spin bike for 10 min.
I heard someone say on a podcast, “You lose your muscle, and then you die.” That resonated with me, and over the past few months, I’ve tried to stop thinking about losing body fat, and start focusing on building muscle. Caroline Girvan has great dumbbell workouts on YouTube, and I’m going to start her “Iron” series in January. I also like weight lifting because I can pretty much eat as much protein as I want in a day, and I don’t feel like I’m starving to death. I don’t dread the workouts like I used to when I did tons of cardio, and I feel good afterward.
It’s December so it’s super hard to diet. I’m pretty much allowing myself some latitude with sweets as long as I’ve also exercised and eaten the healthy food I had planned. It’s the holidays so don’t be too hard on yourself.
I think the most important thing is finding healthy food that you actually like that you can turn into a staple in your diet long term. And - moving, walking, finding a recreational activity that you love. Maybe some kind of group class where you keep going for the social aspect.2 -

Thanks everyone for your kind words earlier. Nothing really to do but keep on with the routine. I also think that I’ve gotten so used to covering up that the way I dress and do my hair probably doesn’t help. I look frumpy - like I’m trying to hide behind my hair, long sleeves and knee length dresses. I have nice definition in my shoulders now, maybe i should be showing some of that off. 🤔4 -
Yay, I got 6h15m sleep but the pee breaks, ugh!

No change this week, but I expected that. We have been making homemade peanut butter fudge for family and friends last week. Of course I had to sample some to make sure it was good to go. LOL. Go Team.4 -

Went to the Dr today for a weight check, she was happy that my weight is going down. She did up my rybelsus. I had an epidural shot in my back last week, my back feels a little better but I still have problems with my left leg. I go back to the Dr for that next week, we will see if they will schedule another shot. I am on vacation Christmas week so I am going to try to start walking a little bit that week or finding something easy to do that won't cause to much pain in my back and leg.2

@ljdanny It sounds like things are moving in the right direction at least. Hope you’re able to get some more walking in soon.
I’m feeling pretty good about this week… I made an emergency appointment with my hairdresser and chopped all of my hair off yesterday. I do it every few years, but it had been at least 7 years since I’ve had it this short. It was past my shoulders and down my back. It’s much more sporty looking. Not frumpy at all!
I’ve been purposefully not tracking my food this week. Just trying to get the protein and fiber in and then allowing myself to eat some of the holiday goodies that I’ve been baking. I guess we’ll see what my weigh-in is like this week. I usually try to build in a non diet week every 4-6 weeks to switch things up metabolically while still working out, The holidays seemed like a good time to do that.
Is anyone looking ahead to the new year? Anyone trying something new with their diet/exercise? Or planning more of the same with renewed purpose?

Since last checked- have lost 2cm from my waist. Have also exercised 6 days out of 6 so far this week (getting up early on work days). Not really a morning person but felt good to wake up my body.
Happier with this weeks weigh-in.

We have a small group for December but if anyone wants to step into the challenge, they're welcome to join. (You see what I did there?) Bolded steppers made their stated goal!
Two of our steppers stepped more than 10,000 steps in a day three times! Let's hear it for @andja87 and @daria0919 !
The past few months I've made some challenge goals and we haven't quite made them. I'm not sure these goals are motivating...what might be more motivating to you? I could say, let's try yo meet a million steps but maybe we should do a game of some sort?
Last week we collectively walked about 80 miles. I'm going to post a song that references 80 miles. Find a better one (this won't be too hard, I am a bit appalled by this one, but I don't esp like country):

I recalculated...this is why i don't do math in the morning...we walked approximately 121 miles collectively. Do either 80 or 120+...

Happy Friday Everyone!
I feel like I have hit a definite plateau, which I knew would happen but can be frustrating. I had another knee incident so I cancelled my gym for now until it’s fully better again, going to just focus on getting back on track with logging meals and atleast checking in daily🙂
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

If you listen to the first three lines, I think you're pretty good on the rest of it. I got through about half. I've gotten less tolerant this year of songs that are literally the same one or two sentences over and over and am pulling them out of my play lists (ex Bad Company Do Right By Your Woman has become increasingly insufferable this fall, after having no problems with it for 30 years...)2 -

Plateaus are the worst. Good luck figuring it out, changing it up, etc…! Hope the knee improves.

This week I held myself firm to my calorie counts and deficits. Added in extra walking and movement while I still could at work, so my step counts will be up this week too. Trying to put the work in now ahead of the holiday, so Christmas doesn’t bite me so hard lol
I’m officially on Christmas vacation from work so I will have to pick up on workouts and stepping at home til the new year…hopefully 😂4 -

Hi folks! Thanks for not burning this chat down in my absence. I've been on a work trip since Saturday and oh boy have my health and good choices fluctuated drastically throughout the week. (I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow and see what the damage is - may end up excusing myself for this one)
I should be caught up on weight updates, looks like I am still waiting on info from:
@beabenitez1978
@GarysGirl78
@ksludwig
And tomorrow we should be seeing numbers from:
@Lessennan
@melaniedscott
@BodyTalking
@daria0919
@Lisa_Marie64
I will do my best to make sure everyone's weights are updated before jugar calculates the results on Sunday morning, but my boyfriend's company holiday party is tomorrow, so I'll be all over the place making sure everyone knows he has a hot girlfriend.2 -
