    Team Captains (@lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970)

    We're leaving for the Cotton Bowl game (Ohio State vs. Mizzou) and won't be back until Sunday and I won't be able to weigh-in for the next 4 days so I'll be skipping this coming Friday and will resume on Friday, Jan 5th. Thanks.

    Linda can excuse you while you are away :) Have fun

    Steps: 6,243
    Rings:✔️
    Daily walk:❌

    No jackpots but I did win $100. As you can see from my steps I did not take it easy yesterday. I am going for blood work and when I get home I am not moving out of my chair. My husband is off this week and it seems like it is the weekend everyday. So I blame him for my lack of exercise. 😂

    Have a super day!

    Steps

    Goal: 6,000
    12/24 - 11,988
    12/25 - 3,588
    12/26 - 1,458
    12/27 - 7,111

    I went to the gym yesterday and immediately felt better and was more productive when I got home. I think moving my butt really helped. I still have some residual sugar cravings, but overall I'm feeling good.

    With family here I have still managed to stick to my diet. I have also stayed under my set calorie count each day, though I have been eating more than I'm used to. Despite this, I managed to drop .8 lb over the week so I am beyond thrilled. One last crushed decade in 2023. 💜 much love yall.

    Hi everyone! I’m excited to be joining the team! I need the motivation and hope to be a motivator for others as well. I am a recently retired nurse and I started my weight loss journey in January of this year. I managed to lose 34.3 pounds so far. I know that I need to incorporate activity more and I struggle to do that. I’m hoping this will help!

    @rainyrae Welcome, welcome! I hope you find this group as helpful as I have.
    @NachDeezy Awesome, as ever, awesome!
    @FindingSamMon Back in action. Glad to hear it!
    @aneedlecraft and @laquita606 Solid. Way to make it through December!
    @Mama530 and @ChickieBoom22 Holiday losses! (And amazing steps, @Mama530!)
    @myhands4God Keep at it! Keep at it! Change is hard and slow, but as has already been said, you will see it!

    So many amazing people! (There are definitely more of you, but that's all I have time for at the moment!) So happy to have this connection! :)

    That is a good way to describe how I felt this week but for me it’s just junk food in general. Now to get my butt exercising again.

    Steps: 3,181
    Rings:❌
    Daily walk:❌

    PW 153.8
    CW 156.6
    Slightly below maintenance range

    I expected a gain after losing for a couple of weeks due to the nausea. I am still bloated from all the junk I ate over the holidays. I haven’t been doing any intentional exercise but that ends today. I am getting some mini walks done today. One more walk and my 15 minutes are done. I am hoping to get a half hour total before I go grocery shopping.

    Have a great last Friday of 2023!
