    I am recommitting to getting back in shape. Lockdown has led to some bad habits and I need to find my way again

    Gooood mornin middle -agers :)

    So, what's a goal you've set for this year?
    Me.. less processed food and more vegetables and fruit.

    I have my yearly physical on Thursday. For my entire life, I've always said that I'm feeling fine (physically and mentally) and just let the doctor do her thing. My goal for Thursday is to be completely honest with everything that's been going on and come up with an action plan to address the physical side (lingering leg pain/numbness, higher blood pressure than I prefer, sleep issues) as well as the mental side (anxiety with highlights of depression) to get myself back to a happy place.

    I have a big birthday in May. I'm going to be ready for it.

    You're turning 40? ;)

    That is great.. Being honest with your Dr and getting help with your mental and physical problems is a good start to better understanding them and hopefully fixing them. Big goals for 2021.. I wish you success.

    Morning (or evening in your case!) Jo.
    My goal is to shake off the rust. No more covid comfort eating or depression hibernating. My goal is to get back to the shape I was in my profile pic in 2016 😊

    You did it before.. you can do it again 💪 I know you can

    Hey all...my goal is to follow through on my dry January (ok I'm starting today, but 4 weeks is still good, right? ) And to take my vitamins and start stretching more and remember what a barbell feels like

    When I re-committed to myself on 12/17, I set a (pretty easily attainable) goal of 8 pounds off by 1/31. More than halfway there, and my big goal for the year is to keep setting goals I know I can reach every month instead of letting myself get overwhelmed by the big picture of "I can't believe I slacked enough to let myself gain back 25 pounds when I still had 20-30 I wanted to lose." Looking at the big picture tends to make me think I can't do it, but I know that I can - I'd love to prove it to myself and be within 10 pounds or so of my long-term goal by next New Years.

    I have the same kind of mind set. First goal is the get into the 150s... I need to break out of the 160s...I'm at 166. My goal is to be there by the end of February. After that I will make a new goal for the next 10 pounds. I joined a lot of groups and challenges this year and added friends to MFP....I haven't done a lot of that before...but it's time to make some changes 😊 Good luck wiry your goals!

    Moooorning!
    Happy New Year to you all! I'm back in work today (meh) and Covid is the highest it has been here in Ireland, so no great start. Roll on the vaccinations...!
    I've indulgenced big time over Christmas, but feeling happy to pick up normal eating routine again and thankfully no gains, which is a first.

    I was back at 165 this morning...ughhh. So Yeah, want to get back to the 150's by February and by June hit my goal of 150...we shall see....

    on the other side though, I'm finally starting to get back to the weight room (provided gyms stay open) and so that will be fun to see my lifting weight go up!!! Super excited about that. I will get that 200lb deadlift...it WILL BE MIIIIINE
