@AB215, exercise is key as I’m finding now that 40 is past me. Just need to do it! My plans are for activity after my boys get on the bus in the morning.
Here’s a question: As the soul food shopper in the house I find it hard staying away from snacks.
What does everyone do, aside from not going hungry, to keep the snacks and junk on the shelf and not in your cart?? Thanks!
@batgirl140 Hi Beth! I have two boys too--- I try to get my workouts in in the mornings---it's hard to juggle everything, but priority has to be my health. At our house I keep all of the forbid foods that my sons still indulge in (teenagers) in the pantry closet just outside of the kitchen. The kitchen pantry and cabinetry/refrig/freezers are for healthy food only. I do intermittent fasting, so I commit to not eating until noon each day which saves me from snacking. I've gotten into the groove of drinking all morning long (water, tea & coffee)---although it took me a while to get here.
My advice---don't keep anything in the house that is a trigger food for you. My sons have their favs (things I don't like) and anything I like (cookies, ice cream, cake, cupcakes--desserts) are not in the house (except for birthdays/holidays---then I either freeze them or toss them or give them away to guests). ---Make a list and stick to it---and don't go shopping hungry!
We got this!! - Nancy1 -

I started this year at 228.8 and wanted to get down to 150 by the end of the year. Although I didn’t reach my goal I’m proud of myself for losing 59.8.7

I am okay with this! I’m lower than I was at the start of December so that’s good. Plus it’s shark week and that always puffs me up. Back on it now though. Happy new year all!2 -

December 31st
Tracking: No.
Calories: I’m sure I was over. 😩
Exercise: I cleaned and move around a lot, but nothing official.
NYE was a very stressful day! I was having a party and my daughter a slumber party. So after cooking and cleaning and prepping and kids, I realized at 6pm that I hadn’t eaten. So I overindulged on tacos and wine and chocolate chip cookies.
My biggest issue with weight loss is recovering from a “cheat day”, whether it’s intentional or not.
Question of the week: I didn’t make any resolutions this year. Only thing that I’ve started doing is doing things that bring me happiness in the long run. No more quick fixes or instant gratification. It never lasts.

This weeks Question of the Week is What are your goals for 2019? Or even just January? And do you make New Year's Resolutions?
I guess setting up goals for 2019 is sort of a New Year's Resolution although I don't call it that, I like to think of things in terms of what do I want and how can I get there. I also tend to re-visit my goals periodically and adjust them if I've hit them or if I'm not on track, that way I always have something to work for!
Same for me. My goals change ALL THE TIME! Resolutions seem to be kinda permanent and if you don’t do exactly that, you fail. Lol. I guess it’s all about interpretation. Good luck with all your goals, current and future!
