I have so blown my progress. I must buckle down. With only 23 days to go, I can hit my goal, but I have to keep my eye on the prize.

How do you all stay motivated?

First I don't look at it as blown and set a weekly goal like log what you are eating and stop looking at things of what and when you are eating and focus on getting other things done and that you need good fuel to get this stuff done. When you put goal pressures on your self you are redirecting your journey. Plan your day around activities and at every meal ask how will help you fuel your body to do the activities. It's how you think.

All great advice. Thanks for sharing!

I am having a minor setback. I don't think it is broke. I might have to go in for an x-ray. I attached a pic of it getting better but I tell you that I am more thankful for the ability to walk. When it finishes healing I will be looking at exercise as something more positive. This setback sucks

I have been living hell with the rest of you. I would so love to be able to run right now. Note back to post about 4 x 4 to the foot. I have been eating things like ice cream and trail mix and magic shell. I was happy to see 134 this morning which is not in the correct direction. I think it is +4 pounds. The crap road stops here. All this crap did not make my foot feel better. Note to self. crap food causes inflammation. I hurt all over not just my foot. Time to move on. For all of us that did well over the holiday please share a tip in the group page and those of us that had a couple of stumbles- would of , could of, should of, take 1 learning point away and let's move on. Enough said. We all have good and bad days and that's why it is a challenge. This is not a group of people where healthy eating and working out is a huge 100 % habit. It's a challenge.

Woohoo! I'm in
