Oh, Goldk! Best of luck getting thru the Colonoscopy Prep... I am supposed to have one, but don't wanna! - not even scheduled yet.

Thanks for starting the new Winter thread. When you can, I hope you will let us know the date of the final "Winter" check in. I will set my goal at that time. My official start weight for the Winter Thread is 140 pounds. If I even get into the 130s at all and maintain that during this Winter thread... that will be lowest that I've weighed in a few years!!! So, just 1 pound of loss and being maintained will be a huge milestone for me!

I really appreciate these Daily Check-in threads. Thank you so very much for doing them. Although, I did not meet my goal, I lost 5 pounds in the Fall Daily Check In. You and all who participate have helped me so much. 5 pounds is a big loss for me!

Is your husband starting to show any improvement? w, if I would only stick to my plan & quit binging!!!

Best of luck to all who join in the Winter Daily Check In!!!!

GoldK - Thanks so much for keeping this up for us and I bet you will get more members on here
come January. Good luck on the colonoscopy, the prep is worse than the procedure. :ohwell:

My will power is going to the dogs. Back into my old routine of bad habits. I just want to get
through the holidays so I can focus on losing weight again.

CoachRanell

Hello! I kind of want to introduce myself and get involved with a support and accountability group. I am 26 years old and I just got engaged in November. I have been working out and would like to get involved. I have lost 2 pant sizes so far, but have only lost 3 pounds. I have gained muscle and toned up though.

I am doing a mixture of Turbo Fire, Focus T25, P90x, and Cathe Kick Max work outs. I am so proud of myself for starting working out and sticking with it!!! I never had the motivation until now, but working out has helped me become more confident and happy with myself.

I am so excited to see future results and see how far I can push myself!!

DahliaBanker

Hey all! I'm back and I'd better STAY back! Christmas is over.........a new year is starting......starting my winter vacation in about a week and will be away from the routine so it's a good time to focus on this weight lost journey again. I gained about half of what I lost this summer and I REALLY don't want to go in the wrong direction but need to get motivated again. I reset my weight to what I am now and started logging my meals again today and I will do my best to get in here every day! It worked before...........it can work again! Hope all is well with all of you!

I am not sure how a daily check in will work with my job schedule when all my jobs start back after the New Year but I am going to try and see how it goes. I will be keeping better track of things one way or another. I think I will start a new tracking chart for the new year. For now I just have 1 job going but lots to do with that. The celebrating is slowing down as well. I am hoping to establish a healthy schedule before things start to ramp up again.

GoldK I hope your husband is better soon if not already and thanks for starting this up for the winter.

My current goal is to get back to where I was before I started working so much.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Probably not quite
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set any

Goldk - I'm glad your husband is home, I hope he keeps doing better. I know exactly what you mean about it feeling good to get back to the Y ... it seems like my last 2 weeks have been absolutely crazy, and not done yet ... but I get to the Y whenever I can and I feel sane again.
I didn't have the best willpower over Christmas, cookies really got to me - but other than the cookies I did really well and saw some small losses on the scale - so super happy with that. New Year's Eve tomorrow to deal with, and then I go to New York this weekend with my daughter for 4 days! I think I will have a hard time there with food. I'm excited to go, but also kind of looking forward to after the trip when things can get back to my normal routine.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? I didn't track, but I think I did ok.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? didn't set one
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? made quiche and protein shakes for the next few days
What would I have done differently? I ate too many carbs - hot chocolate, and some crackers, and ate too late
What is today's personal goals? stay under in calories & already did step and body pump at the Y
