When I signed up in November to be a content creator, this is not what I intended to post. I was fairly confident that I could make it through the holidays and still be in the Winner's Circle....
I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! For those of you that are sailing through December, kudos to you! If you are struggling like me, let's just try to move forward even if it is only baby steps!

Even baby steps puts you miles ahead of the couch potatoes!

@bradkcrew and @BMcC9 - spot on for both those memes. My 2021 weight loss won’t make headlines, but I’m thrilled to be here, still plugging along, regardless of the speed. Every baby step is an improvement.9

For everyone struggling, or feeling like quitting, or wondering if/when to start again...
THIS is when it counts! THESE are the moments you want to do everything you can! You don't have to succeed. You only have to try. If you do that, just think how much easier it will be to succeed during simpler times.13 -
I think sometimes when things take a long time it's easy to feel discouraged but I often ask myself "where will you be in six months if you don't keep trying" ... the time will arrive regardless13

Keeping on keeping on is the ultimate success.9 -

@bradcrew and @BMcC9 – two very good and timely thoughts for today.
Taking a short break – a rest on the staircase while you brace yourself for the next step – is not quitting. As long as you keep on trying – keep plugging in here, keep reminding yourself of the “why” you are doing this, you will get there. We have all made changes that improve our health, you really don’t want to go backwards.
Yesterday @donna25trinity mentioned getting disheartened by the message MFP posts about where you will be in 5 weeks’ time. I just want to say that, like @biketheworld, I never close my diary.
Pay no attention to that message – it assumes that every day will be exactly the same, which it won’t, especially at this time of year.
I found that I couldn’t close my diary while I was losing weight because I was so often under the magic 1,200 calories. How can I average 1,200 per day without being under most days to balance out the occasional day over? It's just daft and unhelpful.

Loved the messages today December has been an ongoing work in progress up and down up and down but…I WILL NOT QUIT!!
I need a pass day 2/3 used or 1/3 I don’t really remember but to many cookies I did track and completed some spin.
I signed up for the 100 mile winter challenge in our community I have the option of 200 miles by spring I am going for that one. It’s a winter to spring exercise challenge will keep you posted any exercise that will calculate your mileage.

Love the intro, sounds like it's just wat alot of us needed to hear! @lesdarts180 and @biketheworld i like the strategy u use with not completing ur diary! Genius!!! I shall give it a try. Wenever I go back to weight loss faze I get really microfocused on restricting calories as this has been my old diet mentality then after a long day thinking about it I came to the same conclusion as last time I need to be flexible & not too restrictive every single day. So some days eat at a deficit and others wen I need to eat more then eat at maintaince. Lastly I need to continue to track honestly. Xox
*30 min jog, weights walk & stretch.
*Meditation and journaling
* Under maintaince calories today
* Tracked every blt
* Monitored sugars and under.
I'll jump on later and read all ur posts. Hve a fab day Xo
