Instead of losing weight I want to shift my way of thinking.

Hey everyone! Im doing my best to renew my way of thinking with my nutrition and using exercise to stay refreshed and renewed daily. I know the benefits will be weight loss but I really want to focus on a mind shift. I hope to find buddies to keep one another encouraged and to keep moving forward as we make this change.

    This is what my current goal is too. I’m trying to focus less on the scale and more on making real, healthy lifestyle changes that I can make part of my daily routine.

    Yes. Throwing the "Diet" word out the window shifting more toward making positive changes.

    I believe you will find that a majority of people who successfully manage their weight think in the exact same terms. They find some higher goal where weight is simply an afterthought.

    Weight is an output of behaviors, so focus on changing your behavior and habits. You have to work on these one at a time and you must also replace a behavior with another.

    Here is the link to the February, 2019 UAC group https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/130876-ultimate-accountability-challenge-february-2019

    New members are accepted up till the 7th of the month - then the group becomes private until ~ a week before the start of the next month. It is a very welcoming and supportive group.

    It is a great place to develop self-awareness / accountably habits and shift yourself towards a new sustainable lifestyle. Works no matter what your food plan, exercise strategy, or where you are on your journey (everyone from just starting to nearing goal weight to maintaining for years now)

    We have a raft of brand new members also starting this month, a crew that are only on their second month with us, and more than enough olde-timers who can guide you through your transition period.

    Hope to see you there.

    Good for you! A 'healthy' state of being encompasses more than a number on a scale.
