@Navydaddjtc , @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020 - Thank you very much for all you put into having Fat2Fit and the Mission Slimpossibles group go!
@wwood008 , @kayla7303 and @robynleegetsfit - Welcome to the group! We are so glad you are here!
@TeresaW1020 - "Working out has to be enjoyable for me or I'm just not going to want to do it." Such a smart choice!
On a separate note - I love this week's challenge. Thank you!
@digger61 - What a great day you had on Saturday!
@Milica986 - Welcome to the group! And great weigh-in! What a great way to start your month!
@apple852hk - Congratulations on the awesome weigh-in! It sounds like you made some great food changes that are paying off!
@mrmcgrath and @TeresaW1020 - I too am a fan of the Great British Bake off! I love the craft (I have been baking since I was a kid) and I love the people. And, yes, even though I no longer eat sweets, I did MAKE a couple of things for the Thanksgiving crowd that descended on our house (an apple pie with a stenciled crust, a gluten-free pumpkin pie with a spiced crust and a praline layer below the custard, and a lemon meringue pie).1 -
Totally slacked and didn't post my steps for yesterday - 10440
Not too shabby to wrap up November. Bravo to all of the steps we took, that's an amazing number!!!
Goals this week are to keep moving even though it's my short week at work: I always have lower steps counts when I'm not at work. I want to work out at the gym at least 3xs but aiming for 4.
Sharing Sunday
This is the first year in several where I've lost weight and kept it off. I'm hoping to hit 25lbs down before the new year. It's doable since I'm just a couple pounds from it. I give a ton of credit to this group bc it makes me be accountable to someone, and in this case, my team.

Welcome to the group. 🙂 My name is Christine. I'm 48 years old and from the Pacific Northwest. I joined this group in September. I am not very good about posting, but I do enjoy reading everyone's updates and suggestions. It's been really helpful.4

Hello everyone...
So, I just joined WW, which means my weigh in day will need to change again (sorry) as I'm doing Saturdays now.
My weigt also went up to 159lbs - which is in jeans weight. So it hasn't really changed but that's the new 'start' weight.
So far so good. It's different. I've been sorted into Ravenclaw (Blue), though I'm actually a Hufflepuff, but there's no yellow.
So my little happy symbols will be
for within points. Which I am!
Friday steps 14333 , Sat 13988 , Sun 2289 
Hydration Fri Sat Sun - and I am feeling it.

Week 1 Challenge: Sharing is Caring
Week One: Sharing Is Caring
MOTIVATION MONDAY
One of my favorite motivational quotes is from James Clear. He has a book called Atomic Habits.His video on How to Get 1% Better Every Day has been particularly useful and inspiring to me. He kicks it off this way: "So if you were able to improve by 1% each day for an entire year... you would end up 37 times better at the end of the year. And if you were to get 1% worse, you would whittle yourself down almost to zero." So all I need to do is focus on getting just a little bit better, day by day.
Here are two more images I find inspiring!

Happy Monday!! I can't wait to see what motivates you all! I just want to say thank you for being such an awesome team! We are all here in the hopes of reaching our goals or maintaining the goals we have achieved. I so appreciate you all and the way you jump in to give encouragement to each other. Let's make December our best month ever!!

Hey everyone!
My name is Whittany and I just started this group. Around this time last year I had lost 20 pounds and had planned on making it into the new year and losing another 20. Stress and life happened and I ended up gaining most of it back so now I’m at it again, hoping to make lasting changes this time. I joined this group because I wanted and needed some accountability and motivation.3 -

Dec Week 1
Monday
PW: 217.7
CW: 218.1
December's goal is to finish healing from this lung infection (If that's what it is).
I've got 4 more days on these pills, then hopefully my weight will stop yo-yoing.
Get back to moving instead of being in bed day and night.
I NEED to be more accurate with inputting my daily calories into MFP.
So here's to a brand new month.
Good luck everyone!!!1 -
@nbbaby - You have just been dealing with so much! Hang in there! 👐 It sounds like you will be focusing on tracking those daily calories ⚖️, which should be super helpful! Keep up that measuring, and rest up and take care of yourself! 👍🏽
@wwood008 - Hi Whittany! Welcome to the Slimpossibles team! We are delighted you have joined us! We hope this helps you meet your fitness goals! 😊😊
@TeresaW1020 - I love your Motivation Monday image! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🏽 🔥1 -
I was off of work all week last week, which for me, included no computer! Yay!
My reason for joining F2F is that I was looking for motivation and accountability that I do not find in my everyday real life. I love this group!2 -
Ack! Well I was doing really well, but off track today. Sweets at work, and then chinese food for dinner. I only go into the office rarely, it always throws me off track when I do.
Well tomorrow is another day as they say.
Motivating message-
This story really inspired me. It is about an older woman in her 70s who was in poor health, overweight, and depressed and with support she starting working out, eating better, and turned her life around. It really shows that no matter how old we are, or what is happening in our life, it is never too late to learn healthy habits and try something new one step at a time.

@AustinRuadhain love your images and the James Clear quote!
Welcome new team members!
Weekly check-in
Last week 127
This week 129
I'm pretty disappointed, I'm obviously screwing up maintenance if I'm gaining every week and I'm up 7lbs eating 1500-1600 calories and working out an hour or more a day. I'm taking the day off working out and regrouping. I haven't felt like working out as much and am feeling worn out and discouraged. I had fun cooking last night but another week of gaining has me frustrated, all I can think of doing is lowering calories and increasing workouts again.4 -
Forgot to say why I joined, I thought the encouragement of a group sounded like a fun, supportive way to lose weight. I was worried the weeks I didn't lose anything that I would set the group back but everyone was amazing and supportive no matter what the scale said. Love this group!

Good evening! I have made a vow to myself that I am going to be a better captain to you all. That means actually posting more and commenting to all you lovely people!
@Milica986, welcome to the team! It sounds like you have a good plan for eating and working out. Now you have us here to help motivate and support you!
@kayla7303, welcome to the Slimpossibles! We are just about the same in that I have also lost 60 lbs and have another 40 or so to go. Working out and staying consistent with a healthy eating plan is the key to it all. I look forward to getting to know you!
@robynleegetsfit, welcome to the group! Please feel free to share with us so that we can get to know you better!
@apple852hk, wow congrats on your weight loss!!
That is fantastic and very interesting that you gave up sugar and ate a variety of foods. Were the foods mostly low carb or a mixture?
@mrmcgrath, congrats on your weight loss!! I have been seriously slacking in getting involved too and plan to change that this month. Please join me in becoming more active and perhaps others will follow suit. I want this team to be the best it can be for everyone! Ohhhh and my husband says that I love the show because of the judge, Paul. And he wouldn’t be wrong!! 
@bethanie0825, yes it’s doable for you to get to that 25 lbs mark. I was only 2 lbs away from Onderland. and now it’s 6 lbs. I’m very annoyed by my lack of discipline and really wanted to go into the New Year saying that I did it. Maybe it’s not too late for either of us, huh? I’ll support you and you support me.
@hinemoa2088, we are so happy that you are in our group and yes you should post more!! That dog pic is the cutest!! Boy or girl? Name? I Love dogs!!
@Wishusdonna, I hope that you like WW and their new point system. I still follow a few friends on FB who are WW members and if I had my old leader back, I just might be willing to give it a try again.
@AustinRuadhain, that James Clear video is soooo good! I really need to watch it every.single.day until it becomes a part of me! I also love those strong, powerful images you posted. Very inspiring, which is exactly what you are to me and to many others in this group. I am soooo happy that you are our motivator and can’t imagine The Slimpossibles without you!
@wwood008, I find that I do my best the more involved I get with my group. I hope that you will find that as well. We are here to support and cheer you on toward your goals.
@nbbaby, I hope you are starting to feel better! I had pneumonia a few years ago and ended up in the ICU for 6 days so I don’t take any kind of lung infections lightly. Once you are healed you can get back to your healthy eating plan. But yes, do try to track as often as you can. That is really such a key to being successful.
@leonadixon, and we are are so happy that you are a part of our group! That avatar pic of yours makes me smile every time I see it.
@its_cleo, yes you had a little bump in the road but I know you and you will be back on track tomorrow! Thanks for posting that article. Joan MacDonald is my kind of woman!! Since starting Beachbody on Demand the one thing I’ve really learned about myself is how much I love lifting weights! I’m actually going to switch my program that I’m currently doing for one that uses weights more often. Plus, my knees still don’t like doing a ton of cardio. Whoever thought of burpees needs to beat. Just saying!!
@Katmary71, I know you are disappointed by the scale and I would be too. But you need to figure it out and not beat yourself up for it. Is it possible that you aren’t eating enough calories? How strenuous are you working out for that hour? I know that since I really started working out my weight hasn’t budged and has actually gone up (much of that is my current overeating) but I also know that the body will hold on to water if we are working it hard. Could it be the food you are eating? What type of eating plan are you on? You will figure it out! We also love having you as part of our team!

Well, since being off work most of last week, I had a lot of catching up to do and by the time I came home I was beaten and frankly just didn't feel like working out. I will be back at it tomorrow. I'm going to try this sample workout on Beachbody called Barre Blend and then I'm returning to 21-Day Fix with the trainer that I really love.1 -

So, I've decided to not continue with my current BOD workout that I'm doing. I just don't connect with the trainer who is doing it so I'm going back to 21-Day Fix and the trainer I love. Working out has to be enjoyable for me or I'm just not going to want to do it.
This is so important I have to jump in! You MUST find the kind of workout that is YOU. There are great options online and in person, but keep trying until you find the one you can stick with. Yes, you will hate it sometimes. Yes you keep going anyhow. That's the one you want!2 -

My top fitness tip is to find some kind of activity that you love and make it a priority in your life. I signed up for Beachbody on Demand in September and started doing the workout programs on there. Some of the workouts I have loved and really connected with and others I didn't. For the ones that I didn't like, I quit and moved on to something else. I've learned that if my heart isn't in it then making it a priority becomes much more difficult.
My top nutrition tip is to track your food! For me whenever I stop tracking my weight goes up. I just don't do well with guesstimating. I get lazy and eat much more than I should. This time of year makes it harder to track but I'm going to do my best to do it anyway. Even if the calorie count is through the worth at least I will own it! 1 -
GOOD MORNING
TEAMS AND MEMBERS
I HAVE BEEN WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES EVEN MORE THAN THE OTHER MODS KNOW. I AM DEVELOPING NEW PROGRAMS TO INTRODUCE INTO THIS GROUP IN 2020. I WILL ROLL THEM OUT AS I SEE FIT AS NOT TO OVER WHELMED ANY ONE,OR TEAM. AS A PROGRAM SPECIALIST FOR A NATIONAL NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION I WORKED ON BRINGING NEW PROGRAMS TO MY BRANCH.
HENCE I CREATED A NUTRITION AND FITNESS PROGRAM FOR KIDS AGES 7-18. THAT IS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING NOW FOR THIS ENTIRE GROUP. ALL TEAMS ....ALL MEMBERS ...ALL AGE GROUPS... AND ALL ABILITIES NO ONE LEFT BEHIND NO ONE LEFT OUT... IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN IT NO WORRIES I AM BULLET PROOF.
I AM GEARING IT TOWARDS ALL PHYSICAL ABILITIES, I AM TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL TYPES OF MEALS THAT EVERY ONE IS ON EVEN INCLUDING THOSE OF YOU ON MAINTENANCE. I AM GIVING IT MY BEST SHOT TO MAKE IT USER FRIENDLY.
I AM GOING TO CALL IT "FROM THE COACHES CORNER" I HAVE RECRUITED SUCCESSFULLY A CANADIAN PRO ATHLETE. COACH FRENCHIE COMPETES IN WEIGHT LIFTING AND OTHER VARIOUS THINGS SHE IS SPONSORED BY SOME MAJOR NATIONAL SPORTS COMPANIES. I HAVE ALSO RECRUITED SUCCESSFULLY A REGISTERED DIETICIAN. JESSICA KIM WORKS FOR ATI PHYSICAL THERAPY IN LAKEWOOD WA . SHE HAS BEEN MY NUTRITION COACH FROM THE GET GO OF MY OSTOMY SURGERY (5 YEARS). THEY BOTH ARE PROFESSIONAL IN THEIR CHOSEN FIELDS. I WILL ROUND IT OUT AS YOUR CHEF WITH NUTRITION TIDBITS AND EXCITING RECIPES. I ATTENDED THE CULINARY ARTS ACADEMY OF CALIFORNIA GRADUATING WITH A MASTERS CULINARY ART CERTIFICATION WITH THE MAIN FOCUS OF BEING A SEAFOOD AND SAVORY CHEF THEN I WAS INVITED TO ATTENDED THE SOUTH SEATTLE FRENCH BAKING/PASTRY ACADEMY AT SSCC AND GRADUATED FROM THERE AS A CERTIFIED PASTRY CHEF
I WILL WORK ON RECIPES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT WILL FIT INTO YOUR MEAL PLAN WITH THE SIMPLEST OF WAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU. I WOULD LIKE YOU SUGGEST CUISINES THAT YOU LOVE, BUT ARE AFRAID OF BE CAUSE OF CARBS,SUGAR, ALL TYPES OF FAT SO ON SO FORTH.
AND YOU SAY TO ME WE CAN GET ALL OF THAT ON THE INTERNET GREG, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE IT.... YES YOU CAN HOW EVER THIS IS GOING TO BE ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. YOU GET TO ASK US THE QUESTIONS THAT GOOGLE MAY GENERALIZE OR MAY NOT BE UP TO PAR ON IT. YOU GET TO REACH OUT TO 3 INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DEDICATED THEIR CAREERS TO BE THE VERY BEST AT IT. THIS IS ABOUT YOU THE MEMBER NOT ABOUT WHAT GOOGLE CAN DO .
I AM IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE PLANNING FOR THIS PROGRAM AND I WILL ROLL IT OUT IN 2020. SO STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS AND OTHER PROGRAMS THAT I AM CREATING AND WORKING ON.
GREG
