    Hi all! I’ve been in this group for a few months now. I’ve been hovering up and down of this number for a while now and I think I need to be better about food for it to budge. I find when I log in MFP I am more mindful of how much I’m putting into my mouth. I had gotten out of the habit of tracking food so I’m getting back into doing that to get my head a little more in tune with my food. I tried WW online for a couple months but I stopped using it because I found it too restrictive. An avocado (which is good fat) was WAY too high in points. And something like one slice of pizza could be almost all your daily points. That didn’t fit well with my head and psyche. I like MFP’s more data filled info.

    Goal for January: Comfortably fit into my size 12 jeans. I'm inbetween 12 / 14. One being just a little snug on my tummy, but fits well everywhere else, and the other being comfy for my tummy, but does nothing for the rest.

    Starting weight 183
    (Sunday Dec. 30th because I just found this challenge)

    Current weight 183 (Monday Dec. 31st)

    Next Monday Jan.7th will be an actual week.

    I logged today, very good to see where my calories have been coming from and how mindless/emotional eating has increased my weight! Logging felt good and I ate soooo much better!

    No exercise - awful sore throat/ears/cough!

    Drank a lot of ginger water and clear tea.

    @RoseyandReady Logging food is a must for me if I'm going to have a good day, I just can't seem to do it yet without it...its like calories I don't think about/see don't count! Hope your cold is getting better!

    I tried to do some WW also for a few months, years ago I had great success in it...it is way too restrictive and I find myself cheating more....I lost alot on MFP too and I am trying to keep in mind all the foods I could eat on WW and combine them with MFP and so far its been working this past week. I dont feel so pinned down on food choices though. I lost 2lbs this past week so happy!

    I really did well this week and I hope I can keep my motivation up. I made sure I walked each lunchtime and did meal prep to stay under my calorie goal. I am going to try to work in some strength training this week and some Leslie Sansone videos. It is so hard to make time for this stuff but I know I somehow did it before when I was down 40 lbs. I just have to stop procrastinating. I am going to try to cut out alcohol this week since the holidays are finally over.

    @janna674 Nice loss!! Keep up the good work!! Seems like you have some great goals/plans made for yourself for this week!

    Looks like I gained some since my previous weight before the start of this challenge. It's ok. I should be back on track by Week 2. I just want to be transparent. I weighed myself December 30, 2018 to stay on my Sunday routine.

    @Toyota100 I'm sure you will have an awesome week 2 :smile:

    Managed a deficit of about 1100 calories 3 out of 5 days. Weigh in coming tomorrow. Let's see if I lost any fat.
