Ugh!!! I believe I've let the holidays get the best of me. Hopefully it comes off as quick as it came on, but it usually doesn't work that way. Sadly, I am almost back to the weight I was a year ago. Maybe this is the incentive I need to move my tail!!! Looking for a good number next week!!

Hang in there, this is just the first week. Holidays are hard to get through and the cold weather doesn't help either.

hello everyone, I have just joined the team!
I am Kim. I am 41 yrs old. I have 2 kids, 17 and 7. I am a Florida native. I started my weight loss challenge on Sept. 1st of 2017. I have had a lot of ups and downs. I get focused and serious about losing the weight and then I let life pull me off the wagon, but I continuously get up and dust myself off and try again. I work full time as a nurses aide and love my job. I also participate in the Girl Scouts with my 7 yr old. I help lead a troop of about 40 girls all different ages. Thankfully they are not all at the same level in girl scouts!! I guess I am at that age where I want to be more healthy and active. I feel age taking its course on my body and want to feel young again and losing weight is the key to feeling young, right? !!!

Hello and welcome, I am going to be 43 this year and have always heard, when you hit your 40s everything goes down hill. I like your answer better, losing weight to feel younger.

Happy New Year everyone, hope everyone had a safe and blessed one. I spent the evening with family and friends playing games. Since some of my family live in OH, we brought 2018 in twice. Oh I guess I should mention I live in TN lol.

Great to see so many new teammates and welcome back @WA_Teacher . I posted earlier, I would love to do a mini challenge once a week and also keep the one we are.doing to the next one. For example, this week we are keeping track of how much water we are drinking a day, so next week keep that going and then add another mini challenge having to deal with exercise. What does everybody think?

I have drank 64 oz plus. Have a blessed night.

@shawna357 I think that is a great idea!! I always try to keep my water intake up but I’m not always successful! Maybe this will help me! And I am very lazy when it comes to exercise. I always have an excuse why I shouldn’t exercise or can’t!

Any one have any suggestions for what Mini exercise challenge they would like?

Happy New Year

Weigh in week....Jan. Week 1
Weigh in day......Tuesday
Previous weight..190.1 lbs
Today's weight...194.4lbs

Last year I lost 52 lbs but regained 4 lbs. I am now more motivated than ever to lose the last 15-20 lbs to reach my final goal by the end of June. These are my plans in order to accomplish my goal.

1) Continue with daily logging. ( This has given me the greatest incentive to my success) Day streak is now 1963
2) Exercise 3-5 days a week. Take a class in yoga and incorporate strength training with my exercise routine.
3)Eat 3-6 fruits and veges daily.
4) Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. No sodas,juices or alcohol beverages
5) Cut down on snacking.( This is my biggest downfall)
6) Take body measurements every 2 months.

I know I can do it!

@Lesscookies1 glad to see you again this month.

@NationalCapital we are on the same wavelength. I was going to suggest we do a exercise we are not to fond of for the week and post which one. Plank is one of mine but I think that would be a great mini challenge to see who can do one for a minute.

@eyer0ll love the squatty potty exercise as well. So if we all agreed to keep the water challenge with our exercise mini challenge then we could do those and a one minute plank. What's everybody think?

@bisonpitcher I think taking a break is smart. I have always been told to listen to my body so I don't overdue it and hurt myself. Be safe on your travels.

@12774 Awesome dedication to logging and great goal.

Well I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. Trying to get the goodies out of my house from the holidays, so tonight is leftover night lol. I will probably not start logging my food until next week. I have to get back to that because it helped me stay on track be mindful of what I put in my mouth and help me keep track of my sodium, fat, and sugar intake. I did do Zumba this evening and have to left feet but since I am in the privacy of my own home, I can work on that.

Thank you to everyone posting their water intake and being active on the thread. It helps and encourages more than you know. I have drank 64oz. Hope everyone has a blessed evening.

Has anyone ever tried the apple cider vinegar drink for weight loss?
