    I feel coughing should definitely count. If you can get sore from coughing it should count😊

    Definitely a good start for me but this is usually how I start and I lose momentum. So I need to keep at this time and get past the hurdle.

    I think so too!! LOL...My chest has been hurting for days now ~ I have asthma but have not been having trouble breathing thank God...it's just this nagging cold I caught from my daughter that started the day after Christmas. At least I was well on the big day so I was able to have everyone over!! We had so much fun!! The adults teamed up against the grandkids for an indoor snowball fight...I think it's gonna be a new tradition! 🤣☃

    Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    December 21, 2019 starting weight - 144.2 (ten-day rolling average 144.6)
    Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)

    I had achieved my goal last Winter and gone into maintenance. I hope y'all don't mind a maintainer in here as an interloper. When you get to your goal, you'll see that maintenance is still a challenge. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit.

    Happy winter!


    Winter Begins:
    Dec. 21: 144.2 (10-day average 144.6)
    Dec. 28: 144.6 (10-day average 145.0)

    January Goal: 143
    January Actual: I gained a little weight this week, but less than a third of a pound by both scale weight and ten-day average.

    Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I am still in my maintenance range, and in fact right near the middle. This should make me feel great, but I try to stay towards the lower end, and I haven't seen it for a while.

    Not a good start, but I'm not giving up! I'm going to exercise on the weekends and try to after work, but it depends on how my ankles feel :frowning:

    I’m starting with you. I hope to lose 20 pounds but it’s ok if I won’t. I’m breastfeeding (just in case I’m not cutting calories) so I’m just basically cutting out sugar and drinking more water. Preparing for serious dieting after I finish breastfeeding and getting myself in the routine.
