    First time today doing this.
    I am hoping this will keep me motivated and feel like I am making progress towards my weight goals.


    JFT Thursday:
    1. Get a 3 mile fitness walk in
    2. Close all my apple watch rings
    3. Drink more water
    4. Get caught up on my reports and paperwork for work before going to work
    5. Continue to keep logging my food
    6. Keep trying to be more careful about portions when eating

    @raspeary WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME!
    Hope you reach your goals on this journey. Congratulations for loving you and doing this important thing for yourself. We are happy to have you be a part. Proud of you. Enjoy the journey.

    I’ll catch up tonight but wanted to take time to post goals

    Yesterday I logged all food, every ugly bite of it. I did not get in my 2L of water, only 1.5.

    JFT - Thursday Jan 9
    Log all food
    2l of water

    Hi folks! I’d love to join. I read through the previous 11 pages and I see a lot of support and positivity and I’d like a piece of that! 😉

    I’ve been on MFP since 2013 after my 3rd child was born. For several years, I would bounce up to my highest weight of 180. I also had gallbladder surgery in 2016 and STRUGGLED to find a way to eat that didn’t have me running to the bathroom within minutes. Finally, in 2018 I found something that works and have been slowly losing weight since then.

    SW: 180
    CW: 143.8
    GW: 140

    2020 Goals:
    • Reach goal weight - I am so close! I know I’ll likely hit it soon and will probably set a new goal to a lower weight, but I just want to finally hit the goal I set so long ago!
    • Get a physical - haven’t had one in years!
    • Complete the “You Vs The Year” challenge. (Complete 1020km in 2020)
    • Learn how to maintain weight once ultimate goal is reached.

    JFT:
    - Stay in the green
    - Go for a walk
    - Drink more water and actually log it

    Thanks for the thread. I look forward to supporting you all on your goals this year!

    Great job so far! Here is to saying goodbye to the last few pounds!

    My weight history and 2020 goals:
    Name: Joan
    5'11"
    69 yrs old


    SW Year 2017: 217
    SW Year 2018: 195.5
    SW Year 2019 : 206
    SW Year 2020: 182.6


    Goals for 2020:
    These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:
    1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
    2. To be better with planning my meals each week
    3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
    4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
    5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
    6.


    2020 - January Discard 5lb Challenge
    Name: Joan
    SW: 185.4 (Jan 3)
    GW: 180.4

    CW:
    Jan 3: 185.4
    Jan 7: 182.5 - got into Candy Kisses last nite :/
    Jan 9: 186.0 -- think this is from eating a large tub of popcorn at the movies tuesday nite ... hoping that is why the spike in my weight :/

    Word for the year for me will be Mindfulness. to be mindful of the consequences of eating junk food, repeating bad habits, etc.


    I am having the hardest time getting back into tracking... I do this every year. I made it through the holidays without gaining too much, but the gloomy months of January through March, I always gain ... and I'm doing that now. Time to really buckle down, track my food, come up with distractions, etc.!!

    So goals for Today, Thurs
    1. log all my food
    2. concentrate on getting in 8+ c water
    3. sew chemo hats tonite... but have my water with me. Do NOt give in to eating.
    4. delay gratification ... this has to be a habit I learn this year! Stop the mindless eating .. another habit I need to master this year.
    5. do not get discouraged and give up. Look at where I have been .. not where I need to go.

    Welcome! Are you on MapMyWalk (or Run)? Because I've done You v Year Challenges the past two years and I'm in again this year. In 2018 I finished in October, but 2019 was a later finish in December. 1020km is totally doable! Btw, I walk, I'm not a runner.

    Does mapmywalk keep track of the indoor fitness walks too? I do a lot of fitness walks following Leslie Sansone in the winter time. Will it keep track of those equivalent miles?

    I use MapMyFitness, so same thing, but allows me to choose a walk, run, hike, etc. Last year I pretty much started in July and got up over 800km and I took the month of December off, so I’m feeling pretty good about completing it this year. I already have 46km under my belt, so I’m off to a decent start. Oh, and I also walk. I might run a mile here or there, but I’ve become quite a committed walker this past year.

    @raspeary The indoor workouts I’ve done have been on a treadmill. The app doesn’t track my distance, but I can manually enter in my stats from the treadmill. If you did a dvd, you could probably log your time walking and an estimate of your pace and it will calculate calories burned. It also syncs with MFP so you earn the calories here too.
