Since you are reading this on January 27, you are not like the person represented above.
Next month is usually our most popular month and it has the fastest drop-out rate too.
You are outstanding!
If you have less than 4 Pass days this month, you will be in the Winner's Circle. That is really really hard to do this month.
If you are still posting, then you will be with me in the Champions group. I like to think that is mighty important too.
BTW: who does expect to be in the Winner's Circle?
Please add that information to your post.
Thanks, Rick

Might be a typo in your post, @RangerRickL since this is still December.
Unfortunately I fell completely and utterly off the wagon from the 16th of December onwards. Went to see some family and unfortunately it resulted in multiple days of debauchery in the sense of little or no exercise and excessive calorie intake. We're back on our own now and doing much better but still, I used many more than my 3 December passes. My wife and I used measurements to gauge progress this month and today is the day we do it (every other sunday) so I guess I'll have to face the truth in a little bit.
I'll check in later but for the remainder of the month I do expect to handily come in below calorie target and exercise will not be an issue.9 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Didn't track so will hve to say no
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? No hve ppl staying at mine so im hosting today and unfortunately had to use my final pass! Was hoping to keep my pass for nye celebrations ahh well i tried! I will say im still trying for winners circle but that may be hard to achieve drinking cocktails and eating pizza on nye with no more passes! 😂 We shall see how it goes!3 -
Today I got some form of exercise in by walking to feed my friends dogs and back but food was not good. This is progress as I have not exercised in nearly a week. I aim to get back on track this week!5
-
I got in some exercise today... a slow paced walk as I'm nursing a few aches & pains. I've not checked in in the last several weeks, have been measuring & logging sporadically, going over my calorie limit I'm sure. But I'm ready to get back on track this week too. Will definitely be here & aim for the Winner's Circle in January. Hope you all are staying well & enjoyed December's holidays!5

Aiming for the winners circle
The meme above about Jan 1-3 was indeed ME for so many years. And not just Jan 1-3, but every start of a new week or month or whatever. So I applaud everyone here for not just disappearing when the going gets tough and sometimes just showing up is the most important thing of all.
and not just the horse gets all the attention at the barn. Xmas treats all round for the Orange sistahs Fluff and Slick.

@SummerSkier your cats are sooo cute!!!!2 -
Thank you for the support. I teared up a little. Reading everyone’s posts also reminds me that the struggle is real and I’m not alone.
Today is my first 3x’s yes in about a week. I just made it on calories thanks to pre-logging. It was a cold but beautiful day and I walked about 6 miles while catching up on some podcasts.7 -
We're deffo all in this together @lalabank 🤗
And @RangerRickL, while I'm hanging onto the Christmas Cliff's edge by my fingertips I intend to stay in the Winner's Circle this month.

Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (min 40%)?YES | 40 % (5 out of 16 days)
Pass Days used: (DEC11)(DEC14)(DEC25)
The first day trying the second series of this workout routine (Weeks 5-8). I was so focused on the moves and getting form right that I didn't turn on my calorie counter until I was quite a few minutes into it. All that to say, I likely burned more than 139 calories. Will figure it out when I repeat the workout later this week.5 -

⭐️ EXERCISE: Yes.

Today I did 20 minutes of Belly Dancing (YouTube), and then 20 minutes of Dancing to the Boy Bands (YouTube)! I really enjoyed the Belly Dancing and think that it will be an excellent workout for my abs and my belly!
And @RangerRickL I will be in the Winner's Circle this month. Yippee!!

0/3 pass days left4 -
Yes to all 3!
I've used 2 of my 3 passes so far and expect to be in the Winner's Circle.
As far as the meme goes, I don't make goals based on my diet any more. My goals haven't been diet focused for about 6 years, I guess. Nowadays, my goals are always involved with changing my behavior, which helps with my success on MFP.
This year, since I can walk better now, it's going to be GOYA (Get off your @ss!).5 -
Yes, yes, and yes, a good day.
Liked the Jan 1 diet thing, I can relate to that, but mine rarely lasted until the 3rd LOL!
I am hoping to make the winner's circle, only used one pass day so far!3 -

I might not make the winners circle this month BUT I’m calling this month a BIG win in my books. Sadly this is the FIRST time I’ve actually didn’t stop logging after my 3 passes. I WILL make it next month, thank you @RangerRickL.4 -
@GrandmaJackie From Grandpa Rick, I took note that you did not leave us this time!! I am happy and proud for you!
Happy New Year!2 -

Yes, yes and yes

I expect to be in the winner's circle.
In a normal (non-pandemic) year, I would have struggled with food during the holidays like many people. All that great food goes with social events. However, I've been socializing as little as possible because I'm exposed to the public at work.
Ten of my co-workers either have COVID-19 or are in quarantine because of their contacts with each other. So I stepped away from the social occasions this year because I don't want to expose my family and friends in case I'm asymptomatic. Instead, this has been a season for meditation for me. Hopefully, the vaccines will eventually turn the tide.4 -

@lalabank Sorry to hear that you still continue to struggle with your weight loss journey. You have to pat yourself on the back though for loosing 100 pounds!

@RangerRickL I’m not in Winner’s Circle due to illness (>3 pass days), but I’m Happily in Champion Circle.
December Trend Wt Loss (so far): 1 lb ❤️3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Treadmill 48 mins / 2.66 miles
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
1 of 3 passes used
I expect to use passes #2-3 while we're out of town simply because we'll be eating restaurant food. We'll return on the 31st and I'll do my best to not have to use a 4th pass which is doable.
I am also sure I would have used all my passes by now in a regular year since there are normally a few parties and family gatherings to go to during December but this year we stayed home and none of the parties materialized for obvious reasons.4 -
Pass day # 6
Exercise yes 10 min quigong, 26 min yoga for back pain which did relieve it, 20 min leslie sansone, 60 minute walk around Thetford UK, walked a lot of steps up castle hill, lots of flooding here
Tracking no calories been grazing again, maybe...
Well done everyone still posting and extra well done to those who still have passes left in this crazy world, let's be proud of ourselves 🤗5 -
A lovely hike pulling 🛷, an exciting ride downhill and a few isometrics just about compensated the cakes and meatballs 😁. Once again, I wish I had gone to bed earlier 🤷♀️.
In short: No need to use any passes today.5
