    So many new people! I love this!! Welcome!

    Seeing the scale creep back up a little and my clothes not fitting as loose as they had been, I am hands down dedicated to getting to the next decade before the wedding at the end of May, possibly as soon as the family reunion in three weeks. My goals are to start getting back to the gym at least 3-4 times/week, keep my complex carb intake to just rice and quinoa, and no alcohol. Putting it into writing is so easy, living it day-to-day can be so hard. But, that's why we're here, right?

    Happy Friday, I am off to have a relaxing weekend, and to start exercising, I have about 6.5 weeks.

    Have a great weekend !

    Welcome @eavdic188 !! It is great to have you along. This chat thread is the place for all postings of weigh-ins, exercise/steps or whatever else you might want to track, and (of course!) to chat. I am just about to set up the April team chats, and the very first message there will outline how everything works. But asking here is great too!

    Tell us about you - where you are from (if you want to share that), how your weight-loss journey is going, what you love to do -- all the things :smiley:

    @MaddawgMadsen @Gidgitgoescrzy I'm loving your deadlines! Sometimes they are great for keeping up the inspiration and getting things done. It's easy to do the hard things when there is a not-too-far-off goal.

    Everyone - what do you do to set that kind of "within sight" goal when you don't have an upcoming hiking vacation or a big event to inspire you? Any good tips to keep the inspiration going?

    The April team chat is open! Please continue weigh-ins and other stats here through the end of Saturday. Go to the new month for (re)introductions and to set goals, commitments, and things you want to try:

    While you're setting up for April, the new habit tracker is up too! Here are the instructions and the link:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10912625/habit-tracker-april-2024#latest

    For our new people, this is an easy tool to track up to 5 small actions that you want to make daily. Going in there and hitting the check mark is sometimes all the motivation it takes to do the thing!

    The link directly to the tracking spreadsheet itself is here:

    Friday Weigh-In (1 day late!)
    PW: 256.9
    CW: 254.0

    Very busy at my mom's house for the big cleanout effort! But I think go up and down stairs and ladders with boxes of books and toys should count as a workout at least!

    Sorry, that it has taken me a couple of days to respond.

    I'm Kmarie, 61 and from the USA. I know this isn't going to be an easy journey, but I also know I'm going to give it my all. My goal isn't just about losing weight, but becoming a healthier and more energetic person. Looking forward to the April challenge and getting to know everyone and learning from y'all.

    Thank you for allowing me on this journey with y'all.

    No problem - I hope you feel better soon :heart:

    @girlhitchhiker Welcome Kmarie! There's a great attitude there - it isn't easy, and you're going to give it your all. We have all kinds of ages and stages in here, and it feels great not to be working on this alone. For April, think of a few small changes you can make and stick to. Logging your food. Getting enough water or sleep. Getting lots of fiber. Walking for 30 minutes. It does not have to be a huge change to add up over time. You've got this!
