You all are doing awesome!!
Iām so glad weāre all here working toward the same goal... better health, better fitness, and weight loss.
This morning it was 16 degrees when I woke up, so I opted for an inside workout until it was less frigid outside.
This one was fun! Like my friend Seilidhe, Iām sure it was a crazy sight to see at 6:30 in the morning! Find your fun!

Happy Friday friends,
I absolutely love Gina B! Just did this indoor workout, and it was fun. It is a mood booster and a great overall workout. Just had to share the fun. Happy Friday!

Happy Saturday Friends!
Today Roxie and I did a 15 minute walk in 15 degrees Fahrenheit. She would stay out longer, but itās too cold for her. So, I finished the morning with Gina B. I did some modifications to keep my knees happy. Sheās just so fun and upbeat! Find your fun!

Weekly check in -
Did ok this week with logging meals and snacks, I cook a lot from scratch so my diary is sometimes very detailed.
I try to add each ingredient/amount that I use if I can't find a comparable item in the list of foods.
Did not do great with exercise this week, but got in a few walks and 1 you tube workout (Jill, I love the Gina B workouts thanks for posting!)
Not much weight difference on my "official" weigh in today, (not) funny how it fluctuates day by day. Right now, it's more important to me to change my foods to better choices with less sugar and starchy carbs; more lean protein, veggies, grains.
Hard to believe - we're almost out of January!

Didn't run as much this week, so expected not much change in weight. I'm in it for the long haul, so slow loss is lasting loss.
My fitness studios were allowed to open again for limited class size/socially distanced, in person classes. Great to be back with my favorite instructors and friends.1 -

Monday Weigh In Day Results!
I've been doing this for awhile...it's been a struggle but slowly progress is being made! I'm a very "lets get it done" kinda a person so this slow process is very hard on me! Thank you to everyone who shares their journey and stuggles as it is very inspiring and encouraging to all of us!
I'm going to go back a little further with weight results as I don't want to look at the weekly weigh-ins because they don't show the true story! So here's my story as of today!!
December 20, 2019 - 176.2lbs
April 27, 2020 - 174.8lbs (started WW)
January 25, 2021 - 162.2lbs
Total lost to date: 14lbs
Goal Weight: 134lbs (wishing for end of May)
Successes I've had this week! I've walked the dog for 30 minutes everyday as well as got on the treadmill and walked for 40 minutes each day! I'm proud of that!
Goals this week...really work hard no treats! I'm finding that a struggle so this week, I will achieve it!!
Wishing everyone a great week and don't give up...we are all worth it!!!!

Well, bummer, dudes and dudettes. I went up 0.6 pounds. My challenges this week, as always, were sweets and breads. Not sweets as in candy, but sweets as in cake and donuts. Really, really, *really* need to get a grip on that again.
Other challenges? The weather. It rained here all day yesterday, putting a damper on outdoor fun. Indoor fun was also blah. I got a nice run/walk in on Saturday. But I didn't do any of the videos last week. Hoping to change that up this week.
Hope you all have a fantabulous week ahead. Me? I'm just gonna hope for the best.

Hi all,
For the past week Iāve been watching my slow creep weight gain. Iām moving more, but Iām also snacking at night more... and I donāt like it at all.
A long time ago, I used to eat an orange at night, and that was my nightly sweet snack. I would peel it with my hands and work for that beautiful citrus smell and taste. Orange is also my favorite color. Iāve got to get back in that habit.
I am not a creeper!
I will eat an orange at night!

I got on the scale this morning and weighed myself 4 times and took the average like I do every day.
Todayās weight is 206.5.... Yesterdayās weight was 209.4. Yesterday I ate slightly under my calories and shoveled snow for an hour. Is snow the secret to weight loss???āļøāļø

Hmmmm... this week's successes? 14 miles on my bike on Saturday, 4 miles running on Sunday, one day I did one of the exercise videos.
This week's challenges? Not nearly enough water. Over calories and macros nearly every day. Not enough vegetables. Too many desserts.
Goals for the coming week? More water during the day. Less eating out and more nutritious eating while at home. More veggies. Try to get at least two exercise videos in during the week, plus another long ride and run on the weekend.3 -

I'm pretty happy with January's results, and fingers crossed the next few months are same or better. I had a little wrinkle this week, had outpatient wrist surgery that ended well but have left arm splinted and wrapped til mid-February. Couple days of others preparing my meals and restrictions on exercise. Getting back on track with my meals now. Amazing how much you take 2 working hands for granted, lol!
Have a great week! Kathie 4 -
I think I've found my home! 175 seems to be a recurring theme here!!! I'm sitting at 174 and my short term goal is to log my food even if it is a piece of chocolate cake!! My mid goal is to get down to 160. I am 70 years old, healthy, and love to eat and try new recipes. I have a stationary bike and am starting out with a goal of 20 minutes a day, with plans to increase that soon. I love to dance so will enjoy seeing the Retro Dance workout. Keep up the good work everybody.3
