Really looking forward to 2020 and implementing long term good healthy habits! I started running consistently in 2019 and want to add pilates 3x's/week and getting down to my goal weight to this next year.4 -

Lose the belly fat. Gain muscle. And drink more water7

Height: 176cm (5'9")
MEASUREMENTS
Stomach: 82cm (32,82") -> 83cm (32,68) ^up 1cm (.5") last month
Waist: 75cm (29,53") - no movement last month
Belly/Upperhip: 90cm (35,43") - no movement last month
Hips: 99cm (38,98") - no movement last month
Thighs: 58cm (22,83") -> ^up 1cm (.5") last month (up 2cm (1") since November)
GOALS
#1 Still working on that actual pull-up/chin-up. I definitely feel I've become stronger yet the full range movement is still (way) out of reach.
#2 Get back down to my "stable" weight of 66.x kg
#3 Do IF more conscientiously; I've often ended too soon at 13 or 14 hours instead of the minimum 16.
2 Jan - 68,7kg (151,46lbs)... I gained a whopping 2kg (4,41lbs)... KILL ME. Strangely enough, my measurements don't seem very different (see above) although I feel you can see it in my face. I can only hope this "newly" gained fat melts off rather quickly.

169 cm / 5’5”, 37 y
HW: 76.1 kg / 168 lbs (26/Aug/19)
GW Jan: 70 kg / 154 lbs
Overall GW: 57.5 kg / 127 lbs
Monthly average –> Sep: 73.6 kg / Oct: 73.0 kg / Nov: 72.5 kg / Dec: 71.6 kg
Goal #1: Get back into a “normal” rhythm after the holidays, for food and sports.
Goal #2: Log more regularly (except weekends, still can’t be bothered).
Goal #3: Keep taking more time and space for myself.
01-jan: 71.2 kg (7-day average: 71.6 kg) - holidays could have gone much worse. not much up overall.
02-jan: 71.8 kg (7-day average: 71.6 kg) - TOM around the corner.

Yups, the holidays have taken their toll weightwise. All the foods combined with a total lack of exercise due to the bad weather and a lingering bronchitis result in a gain of a whopping 2 kg on top of the kilo that I had already gained before the holidays.
I find it extremely difficult to maintain as I tend to be all or nothing when it comes to eating. Moderation is something that I don’t master; whenever I see food that I like, my reptilian brain takes over and I will vacuum down all the goodies.
I’ve changed my calorie goals back to loosing 1/2 pound a week (1.200) and I will check in here daily to get back on track.
Goals:
1. Walk at least 10k a day
2. Keep within my daily cals
3. Push-up challenge restart

@Antiopelle , what push up challenge do you use? It's one of the things I really struggle with doing (inclined is about the best I can do, but my planks are fine, it's just adding the movement...)0

Goal #1: increase cardio in my routine
I am naturally lean and strong so I need to lose a little fat to see the definition!
Goal #2: drink water before and after every meal
Goal #3: write out how I’m feeling at least every week
Goal #4: decrease dairy intake
I want to decrease bloating and help my skin get back to where it was!

Woohoo, I'm back! Happy New Year one and all! Hope you all had fabulous celebrations for Christmas/New Year/Hanukkah and any other feasts I may well have missed! I have indulged (and enjoyed indulging) but am now tired of eating & drinking too much.
Height: 5'10"
HW: 183lbs (Fri 24th March 2017)

I do have a week long break planned this month, but I will be back by mid month so expect that this goal is attainable. Especially given that I am due on in about 5 days and I can feel the monthly bloat already, so I assume some of my weight gain may be linked to that.5 -

Goal #1: Stick to my cycling program for January
Goal #2: More water - aiming for 8 glasses
Goal #3: After dinner walk (or skate on community trail, weather permitting) 5x per week with husband
Goal #4: Sub herbal tea instead of wine for pre-bed beverage at least 3x per week
Goal #5: Book check-up w family Dr. in Jan, haven't had one in about 5 years and I am due (bloodwork, mammogram etc.. good times!)
As uninspiring as one pound loss per month is, I do seem to - on average - be holding somewhere around 144 versus 146 in Sept and that is even with my holiday factored in where I lost some ground.
So, even at this glacial pace, could potentially be in my goal weight range by end of 2020. Hey, better than going up, right?? Tracking on Libra does help to put this in perspective better than looking at the daily number.

Goal #2: Be consistent with push up challenge - Restarting 1/6/20
Goal #3: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
Goal #4: Replace nightly glass of wine with herbal tea 3x a week
1/2 - Oh joy - I've been putting off forcing myself to get back the groove...but seeing 150 on the scale this morning was a wake up call. Kicked the day off with Fast till lunch and brought a decent one with me to work. Been fighting a cold and just not giving a damn. So - I'm grateful for this group and it's baby steps today. No sugar and get intake under control. Off at 3 to go video horses - been fighting lots of deadlines & stress - it's been tough to get much exercise.
@weatherking2019 I fight the same thing you do, so many social events with so much fabulous food... & wine - I do love wine in the cold dark evenings. I very rarely have more than 2 glasses - but that adds up to lots of calories over time.
Happy NEW YEAR everyone - let's do this!!!!

I had to steal your goal #4 - I do love my evening glass to sip on.....but I found some great peppermint/cinnamon tea and that's going to have to do!5 -
So not too much is changing with the "new year" for me (I'm not really into the whole resolution thing myself), but it IS the final push to prepare myself for race season which starts in less than 2 months now! Starting on Monday, I will be starting my "intense" training program as a final push to prepare for race season, along with a crack down on my diet again - I maintained pretty well over the holidays, and probably needed the mental and physical break, but time to get back into things because the season fast approacheth!

Gained more than 5 lbs over holiday break- eek! So my goal for this month is to get back to where I was. Hopefully it's just water weight and falls off in the first week or so but I don't want to be unrealistic either.5 -

@Antiopelle , what push up challenge do you use? It's one of the things I really struggle with doing (inclined is about the best I can do, but my planks are fine, it's just adding the movement...)
Hi @katsheare. Last year I followed this : https://hundredpushups.com/
I'm pretty strong overall, except my arms, therefor I did using my knees as restpoint instead of my toes. I did it until I could do 70, and then due to circumstances I stopped and I regret it, as I truly gained strength. This weekend I will do the test and next week, I start again.3 -

I got a new pairing knive for Christmas, and yesterday, I managed to chop off the tip of my pinkie, but that couldn't amount to more than a few grams, so I'm glad with this today !

Brilliant! This looks thorough, and I do love a graded plan (C25k was a revelation!).
I'll give it a read and hopefully be following in your footsteps soon (not with a paring knife, though! That does not sound like a good weight-loss plan!! I hope you're recovering well and not finding it too intrusive in daily life. It's amazing how much we use things like fingertips...)1 -

1/3: I had a time of weakness unfortunately. I overate last night because I am going back to college from the break this morning and wanted to enjoy my mom’s cooking one last time. I feel slightly bad about it this morning but not as much as I used to. I am not going to dwell on it but instead going to set myself up for success today by eating foods that fuel me and getting in a workout! My goal is to hit 130 by the end of January and I will hit it. Reminder: It’s okay if we slip up, we’re NOT perfect. Getting right back into the swing of good habits after slipping up is the key to get you back where you need to be! 😊6 -

Goal #1: keep eating nutritious smoothies
Goal #2: keep exercising
Goal #3: focus on the big picture and not small set backs
I have been sick for basically all of December. Various viral infections and strep. I’m just starting to come to the other side and back to wellness. Due to the illnesses, I have really had to focus on tracking my food and staying within my calorie budget. Because of that I have still been consistently losing weight, but I truly miss working out. I know the gym is packed right now, but I want to be in the thick of it moving my body. I plan to get back into it on Monday, should I have the energy and feel well enough.8
