Sunday check in
Calories: under
Exercise: none
Water: not enough but lots of coffee!
Spent almost 6 hours in the car driving my daughter and family to the airport in Toronto. Traffic was really heavy due to an accident. It was really sad saying goodbye to them. My granddaughter is 3 months old and I won’t see her again until her 1st birthday. They live in Scotland and we are going to visit in October.
My husband goes back to work tomorrow after a 2 week break. I am looking forward to getting into a routine again.
Monday opportunities (have to steal this too)
1. Workout at gym (strength train and elliptical)
2. Walk 60 minutes total
3. Work on water intake0 -

Introducing myself- I've struggled with my weight all my life. Lately, it's been more of a struggle, probably due to my advanced age
(50s). A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with hypertension and I suspect my blood work will soon show I have prediabetes. It's time to get this show on the road and take care of myself! I'm not ready to be on meds every day and going to doctor visits- I've got some living to do!

It will count up to everything that synced, so about halfway through the day yesterday. After that it’s only steps if I had my phone on me, which is not much, but all the previous data is saved and I pick up my new watch today, so when I set up the new one it will pull in all my old data. The big bummer for me is that I was on a 400 day streak of hitting my activity goal, and now that is broken, I’ll have to start over with that one. I should be able to still hit my step goal this month though, and even if my watch is not counting my activity, my body still is 😊1 -
Everyone Lose One Pound Per Week Month. Anyone with less than 10 pounds to lose can cut that to 0.5 pound per week, and anyone at maintenance should stay there. In other words, a completely, 100% GREEN month. No red numbers on the spreadsheet at all.
Let’s all crush the January Moderators challenge!0 -

Monday:
✳️Workout: 42 minutes of running and 15 mins. strength

A little bit of a slow start to the step challenge.
Sunday: 8682 steps
Monday (today):4098 steps
I worked nearly 11 hours today at my desk job. It's very busy this time of year and exercising is honestly the last thing I have time for this week
I'm really focusing on keeping below my calories and eating clean with lots of veggies. I still want to see the scale go down!2 -
Monday Check In
Calories: over— gave in to some temptations at church tonight. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.
Exercise: nothing other than walking at work.
Water: success!
Tomorrow: get in a workout after work and stay under on calories.2 -
Happy News!
Some of you are aware that we had some big changes in the Fat2Fit leadership last month. I am thrilled to announce that we now have have two new Moderators:@Cafelelia (Lisa - co-captain of Team Weight No More)
and
@TeresaW1020 (Teresa - co-captain of Team Mission Slimpossible
Beka and I have been having a great time working closely with quite a few of the Captains through this transition, and it was not easy to pick only two people as new Moderators. The New Year has brought us really large teams, but the energy is fabulous. Let's keep it all going - and a big thanks to Lisa and Teresa!3 -

Good morning everyone! A new fitness tracker thread is up for the entire F2F group! If you are looking for more friends on your Fitbit, Apple Watch or other trackers, you can visit the link below to share your information. Please remember to state what kind of device you are using.

Don’t forget to check out the habit tracker
UPDATE! F2F's own Habit Tracker
Everyone on any team is welcome to use our habit tracking spreadsheet. The tracking starts on Sunday, but please go in and set up your name and list of habits before then if you can. Here is how it works:- open https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hGjC7OQrH9Cb8U5gmkeax8VXYm2wsTiSYg43Dg0s_LE/edit?usp=sharing
- go to the bottom, and choose your team from the tabs
- put your MFP use name in the column on the left (highlight "name" and type in yours to replace it)
- add up to five habits you want to track daily
- check the box when you do it!
Any problems? Message me @jugar or ask here and your Captains can find out!
