    @FindingSamMon Hey, I see that missing pound! (Well, actually, I don't, which is the whole idea... ;) ) Way to get rid of it, even though last week was tough!

    Everyone can start building next week's beautiful weigh-ins by planning your daily commitments! The F2F Habit Tracker is a simple self-regulating tool we can share to track those small things that add up.

    How many grams of fibre? 30 minutes of exercise? Brush your teeth 2x a day? Drink all that water? Pick anything attainable, specific, and that you know will make a difference as long as you do it. Small is good! It can also be a negative - no alcohol, no added sugar, no swearing at your boss - whatever it takes :smiley:

    Here you go - set it up. Use it. Change anything anytime. But stick through the month!

    Downsizers, I got some stuff from Aldi and I am sooooo excited!!

    crane-workout-barpush-up-board-pull-up-assistor-door-trainer-828566-d1.jpg

    Now, that pull-up bar has a max weight that I plan on not touching ever again. That's some great incentive 😅 hoping to do some pull-ups in 2024!!

    I had my eye on a couple other pieces...does anyone recommend a "slam ball," crane-15-or-20-lb-slam-ball-828664-d1.jpg

    Even after gaining 2 lbs I’m feeling positive and ready to take charge again. Company is gone, desserts and sweets all going away tomorrow, and weather improving for walks. Happy New Year!

    Just doing a general post as I am running so far behind. To those that lost weight: impressive during the Christmas celebrations. To those who gained like I did: we enjoyed our Christmas and now have to get back on track. Whether it was cookies, too much turkey or other treats put this behind you. It is a blip in the entire picture of our weight loss journey. Now to look at our goals for 2024.

    Steps: 4,408
    Rings:✔️
    Daily walk::✔️

    Fell short on my steps. My back and leg pain was unbearable by supper time. Luckily there was leftovers for my husband as I couldn’t cook or eat. Still having a rough time today and have not accomplished much. Hopefully, things settle down.

    Weight loss complaint: I was going to go to the hot tub to see if it would help. My bathing suit is too big again. Ordered more and they will be here tomorrow. I have gone from a 3x to a medium or large. It is getting expensive buying new clothes. I guess it is a good complaint. 😆

    Have a super Saturday!

    Thanks everyone, I have not kept up with anything since the last time I was on here which was 12/26. I have been sick. Today is the first day that I did a work out-which was taking Christmas decoration boxes to the basement. I have not eaten a lot but have snacked a lot. Today I was feeling so much better that I prepped meals and got back on tracking food.

    I had a problem with tracking my steps this week. It didn’t seem like they recorded for a couple of days, but I found the registers on one of my health apps. I don’t know if you want to update them, so here it is:

    12/22 - 7,335
    12/23 - 13,730

    Thanks, Dave
