Thank you Gloria. We got this!!!!Hello all. I am so ready to really get my head back in the game. I really need to do this for myself. 2 years ago I started a journey to really learn to love myself and the more I did I better I did at this get healthy, lose weight thing. I was exercising regularly 5-6x a week and eating so much healthier. My dad passed July 2019 and I’ve been struggling ever since. My body hurts, I’m getting lots of headaches again, I can’t do as much physically and my mental health is suffering. But I’m ready.
Here’s to new starts.
I am right there with my dad pass in April 2018 and it totally threw me off track but he is also motivation for me to get back on track since the last conversation I had was me not killing myself with food. Rooting for you know you can so this One day at a time!💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Small steps. Trying to remember that myself. Hugs.Daily Post Sunday

Comments: Today has been a hard day. I did stick to my food goals but let go of my exercise goals a bit, taking baby steps.
Hope you get better soon.southgirl94 wrote: »Dec Wk 1 - Sun, 11/29

I was put on some new medication. Two of the side effects are cramping and nausea, so I spent most of my day in bed with some water, movies, popcorn, and a heating pad. I tested negative for COVID (as I have a positive COVID roommate), but my cold was ill-timed. Not as much dizziness and stuffiness as yesterday, but I am taking extra strength NyQuil and DayQuil to make sure it doesn’t develop into bronchitis. (That happened to me spring of last year.)RetroJoe28 wrote: »Hello all
My name is Joe im 40 almost 41. My weight has had 15 + / - swing or in between there for a very long time. With this group my swing has been down to about 8 lbs +/- so cut that in half this year. My next main goal is to cut alcohol way out to only social times. And limit that. But we will. See this will be my 11th month here time flies for sure

ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGS
We are going to be running (Optional) Mini-challenges this month: Daily Posts.
First and foremost is that participation in this challenge is optional. It's up to you as to whether you want to try this. If you don't want to participate in these challenges, you don't have to, the choice is yours, but I would like to encourage you to participate as it seems to help keep us on track and thinking about our goals on a daily basis and it's encouraging to see other's successes and struggles so that we realize that we are not alone!!
The Daily Posts Challenge is based on another challenge on MFP called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). The way UAC works is that the aim is to follow 5 basic rules.
#1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
#2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
#3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
#4. 1 pass day permitted per week (went over calories, could not track, not enough exercise, intentional pass)
#5. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).
****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle".
**A side note as there has been a bit of confusion for new members in the past, this is not the same as the official results, which are weight based, this is just another tool to help you reach your weight loss goals.**
**REMEMBER**
You set your own daily budget.
You choose you own exercise and intensity (no step limit, no exercises you cannot or should not do, 20 mins of gardening counts as much as a 10 mile run, activity is activity, anything that gets you up and moving!).
Is not weight based (as weight fluctuates day by day).
Can continue beyond weight loss.
Daily check in keeps you in touch with those doing similar. Longer term weight management is hard to do on your own.
It also has frequent resets (as in a circle each week).
It works on an honor system. Being honest with yourself and others is a key to making things work. Remember, this is a judgement free zone, everyone has good days and bad days, but the way to get to the finish line is by being honest and when we have a bad day, picking ourselves up and carrying on the next day!
Consistency and new habits have been shown the only long term successful way to change weight. We all want the progress made here to last a lifetime.
Your posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or your goals for the day)
