Hi Team I will be joining your group and really excited.
This is Shaweta here and have a 4 year old kid. I am really looking forward to the group motivation and accountability. I have never calculated macros. I will be a little slow but will pick up the pace soon. I want to lose 15 lbs, gained a lot of weight during this pandemic and want to get back in shape and feel more confident about myself. I am really excited as it will be my first challenge.
I have 2 questions-
-When is my firstt weigh in date- is it 1st January as my weigh in day is Saturday
-Will there be mini challenges which one can do at home or we need gym. I do my workout at home only.
Thanks
Shaweta

@FushiaKat Welcome to the team and congrats on your amazing weight loss! You are proof that if we work our plan the plan will work for us. How sweet to have so many cats that you have given a good home to. Mr. Snicket is a great name! We are a pet-loving team so you already fit right in. Your first weigh-in day will be Tuesday, January 4th, and then every Tuesday after that.

@laurelfit57 Thanks for mentioning my rings. I am still holding out my hand constantly to watch the sparkle. Ohhhh my goodness that is colder than my mind can comprehend! And here we are in Georgia with temps in the 70s and our trees starting to bud because we didn’t get the memo that it’s winter. Do be careful when walking Vannie and driving your car!

@shawetan Welcome to our team!! You will find a lot of support here as you work on your weight loss. To answer your questions: We run our weeks from Sunday to Saturday and our new month starts on January 2. So since your weigh-in is on Saturday, your first day will be January 8. You will find weekly challenges on the main page for Fat2Fit and the link for them will be posted each week. Some will be exercised based. We sometimes do challenges in our team too and working out at home is perfectly fine. That is how I work out as well.

@Cornanda Girl, you are the queen of the metaphors! I am right there with you with the drifting headspace. We are WILL get back on track!! There is no other option. I hope you enjoy your light display and dinner out too. We are still trying to choose where to eat. I’m voting for the local brewery that has amazing food.

Not closing out the month well, but there is so much stress going on at work still. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year!

This is Mr. Snicket
OMG he's a hand full, he's been in the Washer, Dryer, Cupboard, Dishwasher, and Closets. He somehow got on the side of the refrigerator and was looking at where the ice comes out of the ice maker too!

@shaweta welcome!! I know I definitely put on Covid weight! This is a great place to come for motivation, accountability and support! I know you have got to be one busy lady with a four-year-old running around :-) :-)

@Cornanda I am right there with you! I thought I was going to be able to hop right back on board, as soon as Christmas was over. I was so in the zone for all of fall and leading right up to Christmas, it is definitely taking me a minute to get back there!

@TeresaW1020 can I come visit you??? This cold snap is only supposed to last for two weeks, I would definitely help you with all of your cleaning and organizing!🤣. 70° sounds heavenly!

@trooworld I think with the thousands of recipes you have, meal prep might be an easy thing :-). My barley arrived this afternoon, I have everything cut up and prepped, ready to throw in the slow cooker first thing tomorrow morning.
It must have been very weird to only be one of three people in an office at 14!

@leonadixon wow, huge congrats on the weight loss! Over Christmas, that’s huge!

@FushiaKat WOWZA!!! Good for you on your weight loss! That you did this over Christmas is crazy! Congratulations!!
Haha Mr. Snicket is SO cute!!

Well, it was a better day for me today. Macros were much more on point, I did my spin class and loved it, although, I thought I was going to drop🤣. I have come to realize that if I am exercising regularly and actually feeling strong because of it, I do much better eating wise. I was able to get my car to my mechanic, apparently it was a valve that malfunctioned and set off the warning lights, all is right with the world now.
I took Vannie to Home Depot to do some obedience work, if she doesn’t get exercise, she can be sort of like Mr. Snicket, Just looking for trouble🤣. This is Vannie, doing a stay as I walked away from her, she looks so little and lonely🥰

@leonadixon At least you didn't gain. I am sorry about the stress, it makes it hard to stay on track. I hope you had a good Christmas, too. Happy New Year!

@FushiaKat Nice loss! Way to stay the course. Mr. Snicket is ADORABLE! He sounds very inquisitive and smart lol. I love loaded baked potatoes. Your version sounds amazing!

@laurelfit57 LOL you would think, wouldn't you? It is easy to plan all those meals but when it comes down to it, if I don't start cooking in the morning, I don't have the energy to meal prep in the afternoon. A lot of times, I have to run my hubby to the hospital in the morning. But I have to do it, I have to somehow make it work. I can't keep gaining. Yay for the barley arriving! It was super weird with only 3 out of 14 in the office! It sounds like you had a great day! I do better eating-wise when I exercise, too. Ooh good thing you took your car in. Awww, Vannie is such a good girl! And so cute.

Hi all. This is my last day in the lonely office lol. Tomorrow, I work from home and I can tell you that I won't be very productive. It's super cold for Southern California, it's 49F outside right now (at 5:00 a.m.) with a high today of 57F. Some might think that is relatively warm but for us in SoCal, that's cold and time to put on the flannel pjs!

100-day challenge commitments:
1. I will put my utensil down between bites. ✅
2. Chew slowly and chew enough. ✅
3. Stop Eating C.R.A.P. Challenge: X

My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

@FusiaKat that baked potato sounds delish...I must try.

I seem to be going in the wrong direction.

@FushiaKat Mr. Snicket is so cute and I can see the feisty in his face. That loaded baked potato sounds sooo good! Keep up the great work you are doing and you will be in a medium before you know it.

@laurelfit57 Ohhh sweet Vannie! She is saying, “mama, please don’t leave me!” I’m glad you were able to get your car fixed. Good job on those macros and doing your spin class. My exercise has all but stopped and I need to get back to it.

@trooworld that really is cold temperatures where you are at. I don’t blame you for wanting to stay home and relax. I can imagine when you are used to working with a bunch of people it would be weird to not have them around. I’ve gotten used to working alone and I love it. Girl, we are both going to get our act together after this month and get our gains to start being losses again!

@Cornanda Yikes, sorry that you tested positive! Hopefully, since you are vaccinated you will recover much quicker. Our cases are way up here, so I’m glad that I got the booster shot. My night out was great! The lights in the botanical garden were super impressive and this being their first year, I imagine it will only get better. We ate at our favorite brewery, so it was a fun night. I’m sorry yours got changed to a night in. Be well!


Hi Team! It’s a rainy and dreary day here. I went to work to learn more bookkeeping stuff. It being the end of the year there is a whole lot more stuff to do and I’m just praying my note-taking is good enough so I can remember how to do it next year when I’m all on my own. I went to Aldi after work and now I’m just hanging out and waiting for our new mattress to finally arrive. I can’t believe we had to wait so long and I’m really hoping it will help my back. I also have to get back to working out, which helps me back. This whole hubby having cancer thing has really thrown me off my schedule.

Another new member heading your way ... Please welcome @gem_t_86

@FushiaKat it is a great feeling when you have to go out and get new clothes! Cleaning out your closet and realizing just how far you’ve come, is very inspiring! That potato sounds delicious!

@trooworld your weather sounds heavenly🤣. I am not the greatest at weekly meal prep, I do better at making up a lot of food and freezing it.

@Cornanda I am so sorry to hear that you have Covid! They were saying on the news tonight that over 70% of people with the new variant are all fully vaccinated! They are also saying though, that symptoms are much more minor, hopefully that will stay the same in your case♥️. Glad no one else in the house has come down with it.

@TeresaW1020 sounds like you had a super fun night! I can only imagine, how much of a loop your husband‘s cancer has thrown you for! Please do make sure to take good care of yourself. One of my biggest reasons for working out is my bad back, it does make all the difference in the world. I’m sure the new mattress is going to be ever so helpful!
My son and daughter-in-law to be ordered a new sectional, they won’t get it until June! This supply chain issue is really crazy.

I did make sure to get in my 10,000 steps today, eating was good and on point, although I must admit I had a very relaxed day. I didn’t sleep that well last night so might get up and go kind of got up and left. It was the coldest day yet today, -41° with the windchill. I just ran over to my moms for a few minutes, she lives in a seniors place about five minutes away. Their sprinkler systems went off in the basement, due to the cold weather and three fire trucks arrived! It was all very exciting, especially because most of those people haven’t been out since Christmas Day due to the cold weather. 🤣
The last few days, I have been struggling with wanting to eat at night. Last night I had a sourdough bun, dipped it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, can I just say it was delicious, but so not what I needed! Snacking at nine used to be a really bad habit of mine, I cured it by taking up crocheting. Today I found a scarf that I had been working on last spring, I have taken it up again! I know I need to keep my hands busy while I’m watching TV :-). Fingers crossed this will work again

@adoglover Welcome to Slimpossibles!
@ppmusic06 Welcome to the gang my friend! Congratulations on getting your degree, that's what mine is in as well.

@FushiaKat and @jnoe3622 Welcome to the gang!

@FushiaKat I think you love cats even more than I do, 7, wow! My ex-boyfriend just moved out with his two, there were four total. I don't miss him at all but really miss his cats! Then I feed a feral too. Congratulations on your weight loss, here comes goal in 2022! Don't even mention coyotes, they killed a couple of the ferals and I cried like you wouldn't believe, I had to bury one I had TNRed and it was terrible.

@TeresaW1020 The botanical gardens sound awesome, have fun! I'm sorry to hear about your husband's surgery, that's so frustrating when you just want to get it over with and recover. Huge hug and prayers.

@laurelfit57 Holy cow it's cold there! I'm the same way when people stay here, it's hard for me to sleep. I hope your car is back to normal (just saw it was a valve) and it warms up, I'm wearing long john's under my jeans when I leave the house to help with my nerve pain and it's not even freezing here! It looks like Vannie is perfectly behaved sitting on that square! I'd have the biggest smile if I saw that in Home Depot.

@shawetan Welcome to the gang! I hope you come to love this group as much as I do. I can answer on the smaller challenges, I work out at home and am disabled and can do a lot of them, they vary from making changes to workouts so you should be golden!

@Cornanda I can think of one you forgot, give me your hand so I can pull you back on the wagon! I had a pizza party last night and I'm so tempted to go make a fat bowl of popcorn but I know that's a slippery slope (haha, another!). I hope you feel better, just read about COVID, take good care of yourself.

@FushiaKat Holy cow, Mr. Snicket looks like my Jasper, is he part Maine Coon? He's beautiful! Congratulations on your weight loss!

@cybernurse251 Welcome to the Slimpossibles team, can't wait to get to know you!

@trooworld I know I'm super pathetic being in the Sacramento area in long johns, the rain is making my pain awful and it's been two darned weeks. I'm ready to move to Death Valley at this point.

@Fatfifties @gem_t_86 @3duffs Welcome to Slimpossibles!

Looks like our team is packed full and ready to charge into 2022 like the champs we are, woot woot!

Sorry for the huge response, I had some things going on the last few nights. My nephew's 13th birthday was the 26th and we went out for pizza then back for cake. I got a ridiculous amount of candy and food for Christmas, I was so happy I was making headway on the candy and my Mom handed me a loaf of persimmon bread last night, she was upset she couldn't find persimmons and I got her a bunch so I guess that was her thank you, it's real good but all this sugar and carbs does a huge number on my pain and these storms won't leave so I'm hating winter right now. My Mom is German and on the 1st we're having pork and sourkraut so I won't be on my usual diet until the 2nd which is my three year anniversary since I cracked down and got serious. If anyone is interested Yoga With Adrienne on You Tube is having a 30 day challenge starting soon.

Hi, just like to introduce myself. Im Lis, i live in Spain but am from the uk. Im a yo yo dieter! Was in this group in 2017 and lost 80lb. Well guess what, by August 2021 i was back up 80lb to 276lb. Ive logged in to mfp for over 100 days and lost 42lb... now needing a bit more support and accountability so very happy to have found this group still running!! Look forward to getting fit with you in 2022😍

@laurelfit57 I’m sure that was very exciting for your mom and the other people to have the fire trucks arrive to save the day. I hope there wasn’t much damage done to the basement. Wow, that is an insane wind chill temp! I agree that keeping our hands busy is a great tip to keep from snacking in the evenings. I used to do a lot of cross stitching but now I just sit with my phone and plan Candy Crush while watching TV.

@FushiaKat Yayyy on your 3 lb. loss! I think giving our hubby’s a wish list is a great idea. I do that for my husband as well. My mom gave me shower bombs that have been nice to use.

@Katmary71 We always say that Christmas is just one day but then we get tons of food and candy that last into the New Year. My mom bought me a huge box of chocolate-covered cherries for Christmas. I love them and have been eating a few every day in the hopes they will be gone by New Year’s Day. I love sauerkraut so I would fit right into your family! Jasper is so cute!!

@fatfifties Welcome to the team! Congrats on working on getting the weight back off. 42 lbs in 100 days are incredible!! I find staying in an accountability group a great way to stay motivated and on track. At least until the holidays roll around.

@trooworld I NEED Reuben Pigs in a blanket!! Your menu sounds yummy. The first night on the new mattress was great. It’s harder than we like but we knew that would be the case until it gets broken in a bit. My back was much improved this morning and I know once I get back to my workouts it will be even better. Enjoy your Amazon packages!! Did you order anything that you are particularly excited about?

@Cornanda I’m glad that you aren’t feeling too awful. Just get a lot of rest and yeah, not having an appetite is probably a good thing. Hopefully, you will have one for those steaks!



Good morning, Team! It is super dreary and rainy today. We had some big thunderstorms roll through in the middle of the night, which got Maggie Mae barking her head off. Most annoying! We went to the hospital and did hubby’s pre-op for his surgery on Monday. We are both nervous but also working on having a good attitude and saying our prayers. I’m planning to chill the rest of the day and think about my New Year plan to get back on my weight loss journey. Since my word for 2022 is INTENTION, I guess I better act like it.
