Hi all,
I was on this team last month and I managed to get through December with a lose,😁,very happy with that. But did not reach my weight lose goal for the month. I did stick to my newly established goal of exercise 4x week.
I’m going to add another class to the rotation,this will make it 5 days at the gym a week as my new January goal. I’m a bit scared about it but what the heck.
I’d like to get to 210 by February and not just track but pre- plan each day the night before. When I actually put my eating plan down the night before I eat much more healthy.
All the best for a healthy 2020!2 -
@WMEJA Hi Wendy.Hello Ashley,
My name is Wendy. I am on your team, SLIMSONS. I just want to start off by saying how excited I am to be part of your team. I know that I just sent you a message but, I am wondering, if it is not too late, if can change my weigh in day to Saturday. I like to see where I stand at the end of the week so that I can change things for the following week if that makes sense. I already weighed myself today. Thank you for your time.
Wendy
I can change your weigh in day to Saturday, only word of caution is if you post late it might not be counted for the week because I tend to do the week endings Sunday mornings. However, it's not a problem otherwise, I like weighing on Saturday too, but I have other reasons for it.

I’m still down about 23 lbs from this time last year so super happy about that but still have a lot to go. I’ve spent the last 2 months under stress and getting crappy broken sleep, I’ve got my hormones all in a mess. Heading to the doctors to look into that but in the mean time I want to reestablish my presence on this feed daily and cut the sugar. I do miss my salads but I’ve gotten lazy again and don’t even want to make myself food. Need to be diligent and get back to it!!
Good luck to everyone!
Welcome back Beth congrats on succeeding with 23lbs down and I know you will succeed in all your goals this month❤0 -

Introduction
Hi team! So excited to be part of this challenge. I did a challenge like this years ago and was very helpful and motivating for me. I will be 50 this month on the 23rd. I have a pretty stressful but satisfying job as clinical director of non profit providing mental health/ case management and permanent housing to homeless population often with co-occurring illness on a housing first model. I have two boys in college still living at home and I live in Alaska. I have had a lot of challenges with health issues over the last decade but in the last few years slowly I have lost 20 lbs. My highest was a little over 200 and currently at 165. My goal I think is 145? I am 5'6". It's been so long since I was at my goal weight I am not sure what it should be! lol. So I am going to go with how I feel and how my clothes fit as I am also pretty muscular. I recently joined the gym so have upped my workouts significantly so going every day with MWF being elliptical, TTHSa this fun awesome class called Centergy that is yoga/pilates set to modern music and Sunday restorative yoga. Diet is pretty clean as I have food allergies and have been eating a very strict anti inflammatory diet for years. I am in the process of trying to add back in more food actually. Look forward to getting to know you all better and supporting you on your journey to better health!

@AB0215
Hello Ashley,
I usually weigh myself on Sunday mornings so, I would do the same thing for Saturday morning but maybe before I eat next time. I can do either day but at least on Saturday I am more likely to do it on time if I weigh myself on Saturday morning right? I do worry about posting on time. Anyway, thank you.
Have a nice day.

@2bemybest Welcome Kathy! I think it's hard to judge what your goal weight will be until you get there, something I've learned several times over this journey. Each time I think I'm there, I realize that I still have fat I can lose and change the number so, it's just hard to know until you get to that point where you're happy with how you look and feel.
I think diet is probably the most important aspect of weight loss and you seem like you already understand how much your diet plays a roll in your over health, something that a lot of people don't realize and you're well on your way to achieving your goals.

Week: January Week 1
PW = 164.7
CW= 165.1
Reflections: I weigh myself every day and see fluctuations. I know that I am up .4 but also know why it is so. My calories were under BUT my husband wanted to go to his favorite restaurant and share our favorite meal after watching my son coach at a high school basketball game. Sometimes my calories are under but the choices that I have made impact my weight.
@Kin59vara Some foods agree with us better than others and daily weighins can help you determine which choices work better for your body, I also weigh daily and it's definitely interesting to see how your body responds to what you eat.0 -

Good luck to all my old and new teammates we can do this!
@smallhippo1 Welcome back! Up 5 lbs during December isn't too bad considering that a lot of people gain much more than that. I think your goals for January are awesome! You got this.1 -

Okay maybe that's a good idea. It works out because that way I will have to worry about being late posting my weight since I am weighing in at the beginning of the week. I will try it.. I mean that is my usual day anyway so, I will keep it that way. Thank you. 😊🙂0 -
Hi, Slimsons! This is my first month doing a challenge. I'm 47 with 2 "adult" children (21 and 19) and a 15 year old. I'm currently in grad school and working full time. The stress/anxiety has been intense. I've been overweight for most of my adult life. I committed to living a healthier life (mentally and physically) in July 2018 and have lost 75 pounds but I have 25 pounds to go. I spent 5 months of last year off track but have been diligent since October. I joined this challenge because I really want to hit my goal and I'm hoping being accountable to this team will keep me on track.
@osier5 Welcome!! I think it's extremely hard sometimes to stay on track when there is constant pressure everywhere to eat and drink all the time and stress doesn't help, it's just really challenging. I've learned that there are ways to overcome the stress and anxiety of daily life and still make better choices, and it's a matter of trial and error sometimes to find something that works for your situation but adding in some meal prep can help so you have healthy choices to eat already made and you're not tempted to grab something easy that isn't healthy when you're stressed or busy.
