@carlsoda That is awesome! Congrats on the loss and being so close to your goal!
@Shirin_K Don't stress about no checking in. It isn't supposed to be stressful, it is supposed to be helpful. But def. check in if you need to. I need to Lol! Hope you are feeling better. I am so impressed with how much you have done for Christmas! Awesome team pledge too!
@jedaschultz Belated Happy Birthday!! Nice loss! Great goals for the week! You are doing great!
@amsandos The important thing is to get back on track. This is a tough time of year with all the celebrating. Try to have a plan for parties and for when things go off track. Don't beat yourself up, just dust yourself off and keep trying!!

Hello & happy Monday! Hope you are all doing well as we approach the end of 2018. I cannot we are about to start a new year!
Last week was an absolute disaster for me! I only went to the gym on Monday and my eating was awful. My plan was to enjoy my dinner on Friday night and my party on Saturday. I was planning on going to the gym yesterday, but I was not feeling well. I think I had a touch of a stomach bug or something. I had a headache all day. It was cold & raining all day, I just wanted to sit on my couch, in my pj's, under the blanket, which I did for most of the day. I finally had to force myself to get up and do the laundry, which I did not finish. I am back to fasting and I am vowing to get myself back on track this week. I will probably workout at my house tonight and back to the gym tomorrow. I really wanted to be as close as possible to 150 as possible, but I do not think I will be as close I thought I was going to be.
Here is to a successful week! I am going to kill it these last 2 weeks of 2018.

Yesterday was a good day. I got my laundry done, grocery shopping is done, the old folks are taken care of. I also went to the movies with my sweety. We watched the mule with clint eastwood. it was kinda funny. I just really enjoyed that down time. I don't think it would have mattered what the movie was. Oh yea, and NSV, I didn't eat any garbage at the movies.
@pacsnc6 nice loss. love it when the scale moves in the right direction.
@sleepymom5 ohhh man, I haven't even started shopping yet. gift cards it is! lol
@CassieGetsFit2013 you don't worry about that small gain. you are doing everything right and sometimes the scale is not nice. you know your doing what is good for you so just keep going and it will eventually show on the scale. please don't be sad. this is hard to do. be proud that you have not given up and at how much you have learnt.
@Mrsbell8well woooo whooo look at that beautiful frig! it looks like a rainbow. that looks sooooo yummy! you have been very busy being the new Angelina!!
@twyla77 yay! that scale moved in the right direction. good job girl!
@nstephenson01 you are soooo lucky you got a Bowflex Max Trainer. That is on the short list of things I wanted for Christmas too. but I got my number one pick which was a dyson vacuum!!
@carlsoda wooooo whooo down a pound. you hard work is showing. good job.
@Shirin_K don't beat yourself up. this is hard to do and sometimes it can prove to be overwhelming. you have been doing great, now just get back to it. you will be just fine!! love your team pledge. I am holding you to it!
@jedaschultz great job. you keep it up. you can do this!
@amsandos you knew this was going to happen. so now its time to get back on track. you can do it.
@kirsten11872 love your enthusiasm! there is not better time to get back at it then right now!

@Navydaddjtc and @sleepymom5 my Fitbit is officially out of business. I did go on my computer and poked around and managed to find my steps for Friday and Saturday, yesterday is officially gone and I had some good ones. I had been working out. My page is only showing my calories. I cried when it broke, I was mad at my husband, lol. It's not even his fault. So Tuesday I should be unwrapping a new one and back to stepping. Good luck with the rest of challenge.2

I will just add - it's often about being a good fit for a team. Not all personalities match the collective of the group. If you feel you are not a good fit with your team, we welcome you to try changing teams before you get frustrated and leave the group. Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence...

Good evening!
I have been all over the place past couple of days. This weekend I was busy finishing some shopping for nieces and nephews, teachers, husband, decorating cookies, went to see awesome show last night and eat out.
I managed to eat under calories (barely) but my excercise and steps were weak and I def snacked more of crappy food than I should have
There’s 2 more weeks left in old year so hoping to finish strong and get back to good nutritious eating.
Hope everyone is having a good week! Only a week til Christmas:)
Planning on doing my 7-8 mile walk/jog tomorrow if my daughter goes to preschool. She may be getting sick again ugh
Oh and here’s the pic of her cookies she picked all her colors

@kirsten11872. Sounds like you were sick. Sometimes you have to listen to your body and rest. Hope you are feeling better! I am with you! Let’s finish off 2018 kicking some butt!
@cyndiesstuff. Sounds like a great day! Nice job not eating crap at the movies. That is hard to do!
@ljdanny I feel the same way. I would be lost without my Fitbit. I am glad you are getting a new one for Christmas.
@lyssysho26 It’s hard to go to sleep late one night but two nights in a row can really take a toll. Looks like taking a rest day Sunday helped.
@gottagetthisdown. Nice loss!
@mandi5512 Feel better!
@code4food. That is around a 1/2 lb. That’s not bad, especially this time a year!
@lenka1 You have been doing great. It is such a busy time of year. Love the cookies! You are so creative!2 -

Twyla, you're a great stepper! Would you be willing to substitute for ljdanny on the step challenge until she gets her new Fitbit for Christmas?2 -
WEEK 3

2.9lb loss!!! I really don’t know how because I’ve not eaten to plan at all! I can’t believe it! I think this is what I’ve needed to motivate me to get back on track. I’m going to log every day this week and hopefully get down to 182 by 31st!!

Day 3 on my string
I was my lowest weight since May this morning! I am so excited that I had two events-my party and the brunch and play, and I didn't screw up my progress. This is new to me. My stomach isn't too good today so not going to the trainer, I would rather stay close to home
I plan to exercise at the same time. Another challenge is coming up tomorrow through Friday. My husband wants to go to the shore for a few days. It depends if I get my wrapping done today. House is already clean. He loves to go out to eat, every meal so I need to be careful. I think I am going to go to the store when he turns the heat up. I am excited to do some shopping down there and see it all decorated. Well, if I want to go, I need to get going! Hope everyone has a great day!
If anyone has a pedometer and can join us in the step challenge-we need you!
@twyla77 I hope your arm is ok. If you could do the step challenge that would be awesome
@Ashleigh1178 Awesome loss!! Great job!!3 -

Wow, what a busy day yesterday. I have my office pretty much put back together. Painters finished up yesterday. We were back to business yesterday. But.... I had all that work to catch up on from the week we were not open to the public. I am caught up. Tonite we are having Vietnamese chicken bowls. I can't wait. I am hungry already!
@ljdanny isn't it crazy how we have become so dependent on our trackers? When mine is charging, I try not to step. lol.... Why? it is so silly. glad you are getting one for Christmas.
@Beka3695 thanks for the info! love that new pic girl!
@Lyssysho26 the holidays can be so exhausting. you hang in there. your a strong lady, you got this.
@gottagetthisdown yayayyaya!! that is almost a pound. great job on your success this week.
@Mandi5512 ohhh nooo your still sick. ughhhh. get better my friend.
@code4food that's just a small gain. don't fret over it. you know how to do this. just pick up and move on.
@lenka1 wow. you are really an artist when it comes to those cookies. they are just to beautiful to eat.
@twyla77 make sure to take care of yourself, especially after an injury. you are doing awesome!!
@Ashleigh1178 doing the happy dance all around the office!! that is amazing. you doing great! look out 170's...
@sleepymom5 lowest since may. that is great! be proud and pat yourself on the back, you really deserve praise. You are a great co-captain. You keep that up!
@bmaison2014 sometimes during the holiday its okay to just eat to maintenance. that way you don't gain. just start back up again when its over. don't you quit on me girl. we need you here.5
