Weekly Successes: I tracked all my meals- set up a reminder in MFP to send notification to remind me. Focused on good nutrition and water consumption. Also set up different daily calorie goals for week days vs. weekends. This allows me to splurge a little this weekend.

Weekly Challenges: Planned to start a yoga program this week but ended up with a bad cold so I delayed adding in exercise this week.

I completely fell of the wagon in the last 3 months of 2019 and gained 15 lbs. Looking forward to getting back on.

This week's successes:
This week's challenges: Started a new internship where the company provides lunch and it is all young people with high metabolisms eating carbs. I'm in my late 40's and can't eat carbs without gaining, and yet it seems churlish to skip out. Have to find a way round this.

Week 2 Done. I'm nothing if not consistent, exact same loss as week 1

This week's successes: Pretty awful week. For some reason, I went totally off the rails. I ate sugar like it was going to be erased from the face of the earth. I ate two servings of soup at our weekly small group and had dessert. I thought I had these meetings under control, but clearly not! I ate the rest of the fun-size M&Ms instead of getting rid of them by sending them to work or throwing them away. I’m thankful that I didn’t gain even more than I did. I think going to the gym, riding my bike, and walking helped to keep the gain from being even worse. I need to figure out why I did that. I’m not beating myself up about it, but I really want to figure out why my eating was so out of control this week.
This week's challenges: Limit sugar intake, add more veggies to my daily diet.

I'm in!

I joined MFP at the end of 2015. In a little over a year I lost almost 40 pounds. Then I started a new job, went back to school and most importantly stopped logging my food and stopped moving. I am determined to get some of this extra weight off of myself in a healthy way again. I am now almost 50 years lod and I can definitely feel the difference. Thank you Tammierlewis for starting this challenge.

This week's challenges: The first week of the new year is always easy for me. Each of the other weeks is increasingly more of a challenge. That is why I like this forum. My hope is. we all hold each other accountable each of the 50 next weeks to come.
