My best NSV this year happened quite recently as in last week! I accomplished 150 Barre classes and had purchased these crazy 😜 leggings six months ago and never felt comfortable wearing let alone in class. I wore those leggings proud and felt confident in class and also had to stop at the grocery store!
Have a wonderful Sunday team!
Come share at the teams group thread and also your own team! 👏🤩👏5 -

@pacsnc6 I’m going to make them today. Miyokos makes a wonderful vegan butter and 1 tablespoon ground flax seed to 3 tablespoons of water, makes a good egg substitute. I will let you know how they come out.
We did farmers market and T-day grocery shopping yesterday. Also saw frozen 2 with family. We loved it. Nice day
I ate more carbs than usual yesterday but stayed at good portions. Molly made the best creamy wild rice garbanzo soup last night.
Today is food prep day for the week and beginning of Thanksgiving. Going to make pie crusts, pancakes for family this morning, chocolate molasses cookies, an apple tart, cranberry sauce and lots of veggie chopping.
Found some almond milk Baileys to splash into my nightly Hazelnut tea every now and then...I know there are lots of ways to celebrate Holidays but food and beverages seem so central don’t they? Balance.1 -

Kids were over last night. Lula Mae knows she’s not allowed on the couch...but what can I say?2 -

This time last year we took a family Thanksgiving picture and I hid behind my son so my belly wouldn't show.
By late December I joined this group resolved to change things.
I lost 20lbs in about 5 months!
Then my marriage hit a crisis, then my son left for basic, then I hit a depression in summer, and I've stalled out. I haven't made it below 145 on my home scale since May.
It's been about a year and though I'm lighter, I don't feel successful. I don't feel like I've been good to myself. I'm having trouble seeing the progress because I haven't had any in a while. I'm afraid that I'll go right back up over the holidays.
Right now, I feel powerless.10 -
ATTN ALL TEAMS AND CAPTAINS AND MOTIVATORS
IT IS OFFICIAL THE WORKOUT WARRIORS
ARE NOW THE FITNESS WARRIORS
TIME FOR CHANGE AND TIME FOR A SHAKE UP
TEAM APPROVED AND TEAM GENERATED... [/color
the definition for fitness and it encompasses more than just exercise and workouts, but also body composition and nutrition and just being able to do things. So, given that, I like it. #1 of Fitness Warriors gets my vote.

Shoot! Barely a difference, but not a loss.5 -
Sunday check in
Food - On track, but did not log
Exercise - rest day
Water - 1.8 l
It has been such a busy weekend, I did not log, which is the first since August. I eat my usual and as planned, so that was good. It has been such a busy weekend, sorry for not checking in sooner.
@CassieGetsFit2013 - I know it is not a loss, but it is not really a gain either, so that’s good. How was your week? How are you doing these days?
@GingerPwr - First, just sending you a big hug right now. I am so sorry you feel this way and I hope that by sharing with us, that helped, even just a little. I get it and I have been there, especially this summer when I reinjured my leg and felt like I was in a hole. I think that many people feel similar this time of year. The holidays are coming and that is stressful enough. Then it is a time where many of us reflect over the past year and maybe we are not where we thought we would be with weight loss, fitness, looks, relationships and anything else in our lives. I am not walking in your shoes, so do not have all of the answers. To me, being 20 lbs down is a big success, but I understand that is not where you want to be. Maybe you can look at small ways to feel powerful again, small ways to take care of yourself, and small coping mechanisms for the holidays. For example, today I took 10 minutes to sit and have a cup fo tea, or today, I got to bed on time. You can keep a list or a brief journal as something tangible to prove to yourself that you have power and can be good to yourself. I am not a trained professional, but if you really feel that the depression is continuing, then it is time to look into getting professional help, or intensifying/changing the help that you have. For what it is worth, we think that you are a fantastic member of the team and I especially appreciate that you post with such clarity and honesty about your journey, especially the struggles. To me, that is powerful and successful.
@Mrsbell8well - Such a cute photo! Re stylish Santa, he kind of looks like David Letterman in retirement (with better clothes)!
@amytriesww - Another great loss! I hope that you are feeling better!
@tryinagain5 - That’s a great Thanksgiving plan and thanks for sharing. Great day in spite of being tired. Hope that you are catching up on sleep and getting some rest.
@nstephenson01 - I am so sorry about your friend. What a terrible shock. Please have a safe trip and obviously, no problem re skipping your weigh in. We are here for you any time and sending you a big hug.
@pacsnc6 - Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! I am going to give it a try for Christmas baking!

Those chocolate cookies recipe I posted were called chocolate jumbos by my mother in law. I don't know where the recipe originated - my guess would be a magazine. They freeze well so feel free to double the recipe - use three eggs - and thaw them as needed. I made the half recipe (three dozen) and put half in the freezer.
Congrats to the biggest losers for last week
@CassieGetsFit2013 that's not a gain to worry about. you're doing good.
@gingerpw sorry to hear you've had such a tough year, you should be proud of your son joining the service, you've maintained your weight for six months, and you didn't say but I hope you and your husband are doing better.
@Mrsbell8well looks like your dog is obeying the rule - he's sitting on laps NOT the couch ;-)

Hello and happy Sunday everyone. I started out my day with a Zumba class and an egg white omelette. Then I was motivated to get started on my Christmas trees and decorations. I do a tiny tree, a purple tree and then the larger tree for the gifts. I’m also Jewish and I collect Menorahs which are the candle holders for Hanukkah. When my boys were little it would be an ongoing contest to see if either of them could find a menorah for me at flea markets we went to. This is a menorah my younger son brought to me from a trip to Israel.

Sunday 11/24 check in
Food: logged, just a little over
Exercise: 30 minutes low intensity at home
Water: 56 oz
My day was pretty short since I slept 4 hours this afternoon. Trying to catch up on sleep.😴 I'm working a 10 hour shift to tonight. Since we're going to be off a couple days for Thanksgiving, they want us to get as much done between now and then and the overtime pay is always nice.2 -
@GingerPwr
Sorry about what you're going through, giving you a virtual hug. I don't have first hand experience with depression so I won't be able to give much advice on that, except to say, possibly talk with someone to work through it.
You may feel powerless but you are not. You say you're afraid of gaining over the holiday. Give yourself permission to not stress over weight loss during that time. Give yourself permission to enjoy the holiday without going too far overboard.
I also have trouble seeing my own progress. Others always have to point it out to me. Don't just look at the number on the scale. Look at how your clothes fit, are you stronger, can you do more with out getting out of breath, etc. Have others help you see the progress.
Don't quit, keep going no matter how hard it is. I've quit more times than I like to admit. I've lost and gained a lot of weight over the years. I"ll lose, then gain, then feel bad, eat more, then gain more and the cycle continues.
Keep coming here to post, vent, yell, scream, whatever you need to do to get through. We're all in this journey together and are here to support each other.3 -
@Cafelelia
Still short on sleep and will be the next few days too. I'm off from Wednesday morning through Sunday night. I plan on getting some extra sleep sometime during that time frame.0 -
Okay F2F team! We are in day 2 starting tmo Monday! Let’s support each other as we go into Thanksgiving! Awesome group! 💃💃🌟💃💃
My November Biggest excuse is that I am tired and I don’t want to cook! Excuse! I feel that and I eat unhealthy and it hinders my own NSV. I love to cook, usually! We all have our days.
My NSV with this excuse is to have healthy frozen meals in the fridge when this happens. 👏👍👏

Josh was released from the hospital yesterday. It was a scary day for me. I have been super worried about this happening again. He is in high spirits. And said he feels fine. But he felt fine before. I have been on track and doing well. I have prepped for the week. I made a yummy chicken, veggie,and rice soup. and I have my meal plan for thanksgiving. I am drinking my water. It is starting to feel like habit. After thanksgiving this week, I am going to add a new habit to my life. Now sure what. I think that needs some thought and some journaling. I didn't do perfect this weekend but overall there has been a major improvement over the compulsive overeating. I am closer than what I was but still a work in progress.
How was the wedding Pam? @sleepymom59
