🎉Hello, ladies, and Happy New Year! We've made it to 2022!!!🎉
⭐ This is our year! We're going into 2022 with commitment, focus, and the support of all the women in this group who have our backs!
⭐It's a brand new year, so the slate is wiped clean and we are starting fresh! Any mistakes or setbacks are in the past and we're looking forward from here on out.
⭐Please share your goals for this month and/or your resolutions for the whole year. Big or small, please share any and all of your plans and hopes for 2022.
🌟 If you've never been here before, please know you are welcome to join at any point in the month. All you have to do is post something, and then BAM! you're one of us.
🌟 In this group, we post our weekly and monthly goals and provide support and motivation to each other as we share our triumphs and our struggles. This group is all about accountability.
🌟 All are welcome and, if you think you belong here, you do! No matter how much you currently weigh or how you measure (or don't measure) your weight, we'd love to hear from you.
🌟 Victories, both scale and non-scale, are great to hear about, but, conversely, we know that weight loss isn't all sunshine and roses. If you're going through a rough patch, please feel free to be honest and vent your heart out. The struggle is real and we're all here to support each other!

January Goal: 192
2022 Goal: 147
I lost 50 lbs on the nose last year (started at 247.4 1/1/2021, finished at 197.4 12/31/2021), and I'm pretty confident I can do that again, especially having y'all here for support and encouragement! Once I hit Onederland I started weighing daily, and I think I'm going to continue doing that - I'll just report the numbers from Saturday here.
For the first quarter of 2022, I'm ramping up my daily activity. I'm going to start working out first thing in the morning again (took a brief break from that to get some extra zzz's over my Christmas vacation), as well as going for short ~30-40 minute walks in the evening. Morning workouts will alternate between cardio (C25k) and strength (randomly generated, excited to see how the system I built works).
I'm changing my approach to meal-prepping dinners - rather than having a rotation of 6 like my lunch menus and prepping weekly, I've picked three things that I want to make sure I have at least 2 servings of in the freezer at all times (Cincinnati chili, enchiladas, and meatloaf), and cook dinner fresh more often during the week. I'm thinking of incorporating some instant-pot/slow-cooker freezer meals, like where you put all the ingredients in a big ziploc bag and freeze, then when you want to cook it, you just empty the bag into the IP/slow cooker - that's something I could either do in the morning before work, or ask him to do when he gets home since his day usually ends well before mine. He's a smart guy, I'm sure he can handle "dump this bag into the instant pot and press the following buttons." Recipes are welcome! No restrictions - meat and dairy are OK, no preferences wrt macros.4 -
Hi ladies. Thank you for this group. I took a few months off but im back.
Goals for January!
💙 Log in daily and log all food

I'm starting 2022 at 263.8. I'm aiming for 1.5lbs loss per week. I will weigh in Thursdays as my official weight in but also daily for the first few weeks to keep an eye on things.
Happy new year to you and and good luck!5 -

I am one of those ppl who will have to weigh and measure for the rest of my life, there is nothing wrong with that and I can plan for it most of the time. My husband says that managing my weight shouldn't have to be this hard. I love counting calories, it's a game to me to see just how much I can eat and still stay under my calorie budget of 1200 a day. I love food!!6 -

Thank you @RavenStCloud for keeping this going.
I've joined a biggest loser challenge on MPF to kickstart January.
I'll be posting my weigh ins on Wednesday now.
Adding more excercise and strength training is my biggest challenge for this year.
I've logged my food for over 180 days with very little weight loss, but I reached Onederland and I never want to leave it again.
My mind has always been my biggest weight loss obstacle. I'm working very hard at getting that together and hopefully that will lead to a healthier me.5 -
Thanks @RavenStCloud for another month!

Hello everyone! I'm new to MFP, so I hope I'm doing this right!
SW: 218 (Jan 1st)
GW: 170
I'm not sure which day each week I will weigh in (to be honest).
Weight loss goals are simple:
1. Mindful Eating (eat less and foods better for me - no more snacking)
2. Move more!
3. Log my food intake everyday into MFP
Thank you for having me!4 -
@RavenStCloud thanks for starting the new thread!
@justanotherloser007 I just saw your message on the December thread. I think I’ll possibly have to log for the rest of my life too. You are an inspiration with all the weight you lost over the holidays!
I’m so looking forward to reaching Onederland sometime in 2022! I hope we all crush our goals!4 -
Welcome @McKenzieLeeCanada !!!3

I'm recommitting to my weight loss now that my thyroid is normalized.
My goals for the year:
Get the remainder of my thyroid removed (surgery scheduled 1/19/22)
Get in the gym at least three times a week
Start swimming for exercise (Be in good enough shape that it doesn't tank my energy for the day)
Lose at least 20 pounds by June 1
Have a path forward for breast reduction (I see the surgeon for initial consultation 1/3/22)
Currently I'm working on changing my night time eating habits. I was nibbling too much, so I'm doing a complete reset of "no eating after 7 pm." I view this as a temporary thing, but if it works for me I'll keep it.
I'm also attempting to settle evening anxiety by getting on the bike (we have a stationary recumbent) and doing a couple minutes just to move rather than eat. We'll see how that goes.
I don't know yet if the breast reduction will happen this year or if I will need to lose more weight before they do it, but whatever it is, I know I can do it so that I can get free of the weight up top.

My weigh in day is Sunday.

Hello my name is Kiki and I'm here to lose about a hundred pounds. I have lost 100 pounds in the past and gained a lot back over the last 5 years. I want to jump back in with both feet before I get back to my highest weight.
My highest weight was 288
Current weight is 260
1st goal weight is 175
After that my final GW will be between 135 to 155 depending on how things are looking/feeling then
I have never been below 188 so 175 is a big goal of mine!
Little history, my bf and I met doing stand up comedy, yep, for real lol. It was my career after my divorce and also the reason I gained all my weight back.
So here I am happy as can be, we have a great little family and both left comedy to get sober (hello drinking and traveling wrecked my body over the years) so now we are working regular jobs, but happy, and healthier for being sober!
My bf is very thin and tall, I simply can't eat his diet anymore. Let's put it this way, he eats more frozen foods than my kids and it has made me gain 35 pounds since being together.
It's time to shake it off and get back on track with my weight now that my drinking and comedy touring is done! Also, a little Birdy told me my bf is proposing next Xmas, and quite honestly, I wanna look like the hot bombshell he met on stage! ❤️💯💕 Yep, I'm more shallow than Danny devitos bathtub 🙄 I Do NOT WANT FAT ENGAGEMENT PICS!
help me ladies, plz!!!12 -
@thatbeautifulchick1988 hey Kiki. I also have 100lbs to drop. We got this! One day at a time!9

Thanks for that, yes we do got this! I'm excited to follow everyone's progress 💯❤️💪😊6

Getting back to MFP and need some motivation. The more I try to lose the more I gain. Want to get back into walking but injuries make it difficult. Losing weight hopefully will help.8
-
Hey, I have at least 90lbs to go....ideally about 110.
2021 was a very busy year for me so I never gave dieting a consideration.
I've not really tried for about 3 years if I'm honest but I am ready to change.
Is everyone just following calories deficiency?
What's people's motivation1 -
Friend requests welcome3

Happy new year everyone!
My name is Sandie and I live in CA with my wife, dog and cat. Last year I decided to get serious about my health and saw great success using MFP. My plan is to continue this year and get to a healthy maintenance weight.

Height 5'10"
SW Jan 7 2021: 271.1
