For two days, I have been striving for 9000 + steps. This has been sooo hard since I'm currently remote teaching at home and sitting all day. Plus, it is dark early and windy and snowy. Anyway, that wasn't going to stop me. I went out for a walk at 8:00 pm and not a creature was stirring but I got my second day step goal in of more than 9,000.
Your posts make me smile! I love this group!9 -
Starting January 4th!
I've lost and gained twice over the past 8 years. Hopefully I can stick with this.
1/4: 207lbs11 -

I went from 320 down to 270 several years ago, then gained it all back, up to 330. Now I'm close to 280 (again), and this time I ain't stopping 'til I hit 230. lol13 -

Way to go after those steps @RubyRed427 Rain or shine! Or snow or wind... I guess!

I was from 195-150 and 214-170. I'm starting off again at 207, and a much better place mentally than ever before. My weakness is snacks, and stress. So I plan to plan ahead for meals to stay on track.9 -
Nice @FeelinFooFoo. Thats a good loss. Im going for the raw today. I say today because thats all I can worry about. It gets overwhelming.
I've been riding the same wave for a while now time to change it up.

Starting at 200lbs and trying to get back to 170lbs (haven't seen that number since 2013). I'm trying to really watch what I eat, cut alcohol and desserts, and up the exercise. Feel free to add me if you want more motivation in your newsfeed!10

Also, kuddos to you teachers...you are doing an amazing job!!!

Good luck to everyone else on reaching your goals.

I'm really happy with the progress I've made this week! I feel like I'm finally back on track. Sticking to my daily calorie limit each day has made an enormous difference. I've also been increasing my protein, vegetable, and fruit intake which has been helping to keep me full throughout the day. This also limits my snacking. Replacing dessert with a bowl of fruit after dinner as well as daily walks are some of the healthy changes I've made so far and I feel much better for them. Hoping to keep up the progress throughout the rest of the challenge!

I'm proud of myself!! I had logged all of my food for the day and had a tough spell sometime after. Someone's ignorant comment about a subject close to my heart...a painful subject...triggered my anger hot button and for a brief period after the intensity of my anger had subsided I wanted to eat something...I find when I am intensely feeling something, I do not want food, but when it subsides I want to turn to the fridge...AND a large percentage of the time I do. This time I consciously fought it...I even prayed for help to not give in to my feelings. Food is not the answer unless I am physically hungry. I was really angry and I had a right to be...my anger was ok, I didn't need to stuff it down...I just needed to acknowledge it...now I can let it go.9

We can definitely get an urge to eat for purely emotional reasons. Being aware of that, I think, is half the battle.
Congratulations on the win!5 -
Emotional eating is my biggest struggle!!7

@lorrainequiche59 Great for you to push through and realize food was not the answer! You are doing great and should be proud of yourself. I hope the comment was merely ignorant and not intentionally mean. We do not need that on this thread. We should be here to lift each other up. Our health and well being is the priority.5

Count me in! I’d love to join. I NEED TO JOIN. I need some serious Accountability. I’d like to lose exactly 18.4 pounds from what I weighed on yesterday. Because "Life Happens" more often than not for me, I am hoping to reach my goal by the end of June. I will post weekly on Fridays. Best of luck to All of us!
Dec 7th 18.4 (Weight Loss Goal)
Dec 11th -3.4 (Total -3.4) 15.0 To Go
Dec 18th -1.4 (Total- 4.8) 13.6 To Go
Dec 25th Merry Christmas
Jan 1st Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary (Wedding) to me
Jan 8th +4.8 (Total 0.0) 18.4 To Go (Earned, Owning and Pressing On!)
All week, I have thought about posting this gain. This is normally when I would just leave the group. Not this time...
