Happy December!! I am a new member and looking forward to gaining some self control 😂
My name is Carla and I am 53 years young. I am currently 8 lbs from a healthy BMI, but I am also on some stupid drug that hasn’t been helping with weight loss. Since starting this pill my weight loss has been weird. We are almost empty nesters but 23yo is currently living in basement....luckily she just eats what I make and doesn’t bring much treats into the house that I am aware of. We have have a cat if you couldn’t guess from my profile pic. This is Lucy and she is part bengal part tabby. She’s about 1.5 yo and such a fun girl, when I walk in the house she typically runs behind me (and body slams my legs)
Let’s see....what’s else, I walk a lot...always trying to get in 10,000 + steps a day and yoga. I have an old back injury and yoga really helps...@Mrsbell8well I will join you: 30 day yoga challenge starting today!
Weight in days are Monday,
Eat low carb, higher health fat
I am looking forward to this challenge!4 -

Hi all I am excited to be here on this team for another month.
Starting weight 202.8 Size 3X July 11th 2018
Current weight 172.4 size 12 (and 1 pair of size 10 jeans)
December goal 168
I started this journey following strict macro CI/CO guidelines. After losing 15 pounds I have readjusted my program. I am back to being vegan...Beegan...I eat local raw honey. My emphasis is and has always been on health. I currently follow the Medical Medium guidelines and the Nutritarian G-BOMBS. I have cut out many items that I call my "no no" list. My focus is on my "yes yes" list. Primarily the G-Bombs Greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds daily. My no no list-caffeine, alcohol, soy, corn, vinegar, salt, oil, sugar, gluten. It may seem overly restrictive for most but it works for me...for now. I have lost over 30 pounds and am so impressed with the clarity of my skin and the stopping of all the meds I was taking for headaches. I often post pictures of my drool inducing meals.
I am married to my wife Molly for 2 years. The OF (old folks) my parents live with us. My 9 year old granddaughter also stays with us most days while my daughter is working as a nurse at the hospital 1 mile from our house. We have a black lab mix that is my walking partner, Lula Mae.
Last month I had the honor of being asked to be a team motivator for this group! My goal is to help support our team members on a journey that feels right for them. We are always searching for a better degree of health aren't we? It never seems to be just about those skinny jeans. Our glowing health is the true reward.
Let's truly have a December to remember!

Oooooohhhhh so excited to have team members joining me for the challenge. I think the first week was the hardest and it seemed to get easier from there. So hang in there. She always encourages modifications.2

@Mrsbell8well I to want to try the yoga with Adrienne for 30 days. May not be any good at it cause I've never done yoga, but I want to give it a shot. If I keep up with the Christmas Calendar Event work outs and the yoga & get my steps. I'll succeed with a pretty active December!4

Hi everyone,
My name is Irene and I currently live in Denmark. I was born in the Netherlands, but have also lived in the US and the UK. I moved to Denmark in 2012.
I joined F2F last year November, but started my weight loss journey on September 6th last year, with a weight of 282.6. I took a break from weight loss during November, but I'm back now and have had a good couple of days. On Wednesday, my weight was 214.7 lbs and has already gone down since then.
I use CI/CO, and I use my Fitbit to determine my calories out, which I then use to determine my calories in. I found that my Fitbit is quite accurate in determining my calories burnt, so this works really well for me. That also means that if I want to eat something extra during the day, I have to work for it!
Have a great day/ evening!7 -
On track today except work's Christmas party. Hopefully I will show some restraint and dance most of it off. Wish me luck I am going in.3

@pacsnc6 Welcome! You sound like you have a great routine! I think you will like it here.
@lenka1 sounds like your routine is going well for you. 10 pounds in 6 weeks is awesome! Your hard work is paying off. Looking forward to having you on our team!
@bbcbw Wow! You may be my furthest away MFP friend. As a mom with two young children I am sure you are a lot busier then you are letting on! Lol! Welcome to our group!
@amsandos-welcome Anne-Marie! You have been so successful so far. You can get to that goal. Life always throws us some curve balls and we just have to learn to work around it. One of my struggles. I am happy you are in our group!
@mandi5512 you are my younger self! Lol! I had 4 children in 41/2 years but then a 5th 4 years later (3 girls, 2 boys). We are also the same height and gained almost the same amount of weight I wish I had found MFP back then. Learn from me. Make sure you make yourself a priority. You don’t want to be 52 trying to still get your pregnancy weight off! It is so awesome that you have lost 30 lbs! Great job! I am glad you are here.
@phoebe112476 Wow! You are an inspiration! You have made amazing progress since that light switch turned on! Welcome to our group!
@carlsoda You already know I am happy you are here and I am happy to learn more about you then just your step count lol!
I am trying hard to be an empty nester but they won’t leave! Lol! I have a 24 yo son, a 22 year old daughter and an 18 yo daughter still with us. The last two are still in college. One commutes. I guess we should let them stay
Welcome to our group!

Daily check in for: Friday
logged- no but I was on track or under. I will explain below.
water- 64 oz.
Exercise & steps: No and 6311. I will explain below
Still need to get my string going...
So, yesterday DID NOT go as planned. As some of you know, my Mother is in an independent living facility in Florida(her choice, she refused to come by her children) and is on the waiting list to go into the assisted living. She has a caregiver that is helping while we wait. Well, my Mom is being difficult and refusing care. I have been working with her caregiver and her doctors but she is just giving us all a hard time. It is very upsetting and frustrating. Most of yesterday I was on the phone. Thank goodness my brother is going down Tuesday so I made peace with the caregiver and begged her to stay with us. Sadly my Mom is old and has dementia but she has always been a mean and difficult person so I am not surprised that it is even worse with her aging. I just hope we can get the caregiver to stay and get my Mother to be more cooperative. I really wish she was by me but that isn't happening. We had a lot of stuff going on the spring and summer with her and I was really stressed and put a lot of weight on. That can't happen again. By the time I got that straightened out, if it was a normal day I could have still exercised and got my steps in. However, I had a retirement party at 6pm so I had to get ready and get out. As I was getting ready, my daughter in college called crying that she didn't feel well. She goes to a local college so I asked her if she could give me a couple of hours to get myself ready, go give my friend a hug at her party and head over. Turns out she isn't really very sick, she is getting over a broken heart and wanted to come home. Which is still ok, but she better not let it interfere with exams. So that is why no exercise and low steps. I just simply didn't have time to log my food. I ate as I planned just didn't enter. I had nothing at the party, not even a drink so that was good. My friend is doing her last 2 twelve hour night shifts tonight and tomorrow night so I am going to meet her for Monday breakfast if she can get the person who she carpools with to agree. She is a friend too so I am sure she will if she isn't busy. Don't ask why they had the party before she retired, I think it was scheduling...
Sorry this was so long but I am really sick about my Mother. If my brother wasn't going down I would be booking a flight now. It is just so hard being far away. I know a lot of you can relate and are going through the same thing with either your own parents or in laws.
ON A POSITIVE NOTE- I lost 5.4 pounds in November! It is funny how motivating that is! Good and bad. I don't want my motivation to be purely from the scale but I am going to take that motivation anyway! So today-exercise, shower, put on a comfy outfit, put on some Christmas music and start decorating! I usually have a few glasses of wine but this year I am going to have some peppermint tea instead(thanks @Mrsbell8well ) It even sounds inviting to me, I won't even miss the wine.
@dananananas. Nice loss! Hope you are feeling better
@fireryvixen good job maintaining!
@cyndiesstuff. Sounds like you’re off and running! I just paid my kids who are looking for cash to finish up the last of my fall cleaning. Hope you have a wonderful weekend
@eyesopennow. I think every time you post you crack me up! I am glad you are here! I had a good November so I am with you. I am taking that momentum to get through December
@mari_moulin I love this idea!! What a great challenge!
@lenka1. Hope you feel better soon! I am so glad you are jumping right in! Sounds like a great plan for the day! I also will be decorating but it takes me days! Ugh!
@kirsten11872 OMG!!! If I cursed I would say OMFG!! Awesome!!! Guess you don’t have to pay your WW fee anymore! Great job! You have worked hard and it shows!
@ihp2015. I missed you! I am glad you are back!
@amsandos great start to Dec!!
@Mrsbell8well I can't commit to the yoga but I am going to try. It just depends on my vertigo issue. I really want to be able to do it!

I forgot to mention I was part of another challenge until I lost access to my account here. I had to start under a new userid and was not able to get back in the challenge (it is closed until after Christmas). I was happy to find this group and will try to be an active participant.3

My dad makes the best pot of pinto beans! I made fresh salsa to go with it. On the side wild rice mix and Dana’s Brussels sprouts. I had never read the label on siracha. So it turns out 3 of my no no’s were on it. Well dang. They sure are tasty!

@Mrsbell8well That sure does look yummy!! 🤤 Lol.1

@sleepymom5 Another HUGE hug to you! That was quite the post indeed, everything is all over the place, but you still managed to knock off that 5.4lbs through November. Better than me. You're a great inspiration to me. So many of you here, are! Look out December, Pam is gonna kick your booty! Lol. 🤪3

Hello and welcome to the new members. My name is Sheryl and I live in Michigan. I’ve been trying to set a new goal for myself each month. For November I eliminated sweets from my diet. For December my goal is to get portion control under control!! So wouldn’t you know that on day one ( today) I had a retirement party to attend with the food served “family style”! I think family style means “unlimited “!!!! Well I did behave myself and the only thing I did wrong was to eat 2 pieces of Italian bread. Obviously I didn’t need either piece but since I skipped breakfast (stupid) I was hungry waiting for the food to arrive and the nice waitress put the bread right in front of me!! I did skip the dessert so I’m not horribly mad at myself.6
