    If you would like check-in support to at least try to stay active for the rest of the month, search the Challenges thread for "Holiday Motivation - Pump It Up!" You will find me (and a few others) there

    This hyperlinked thread is from a different challenge I am in ... someone posed the question "How are you going to negotiate staying on track (food AND exercise ..... at least maintain if not actually manage to lose a few pounds) for the holidays?" and here are all the wonderful suggestions. There is a link on page two that leads to the MFP blog "5 trainer tips for negotiating the holidays" (wording of title might not be 100% correct, but close.)

    I just started my journey yesterday to begin my weight loss of 96 lb by the end of the year I'm trying to lose eight and a half pounds each month so I can use the motivation and I hopefully I can be a motivation to someone else. I started out with calorie counting

    Honest MFP Goal Setup expectations, and then respecting the MFP-assigned macros is always the place to start. Depending on your personal physical stamina / capabilities / interests, Just Do Something active. If there is a "formal kind of exercise" you already do, keep doing it! (gym for either weights or cardio machines, swimming, something at home or something out in the fresh air - whatever!)

    If you haven't been regularly active for some time, one of these two threads could give either of you some "general active lifestyle" ideas. Calories burned are calories burned, no matter what the activity ...

    Thanks. Im a caregiver so im on my feet all day 4days out of the week. Its just the rest of my week i want to sleep and eat. Which is why im here. I use to do construction labor for the union and was in good health and getting in better shape but due to an injury i no longer do that type of work and thats when the weight started creeping up. Ill look into those links and try to set a plan i know i can commit to. Thanks
