Good news!
More comebacks - team members who tried it out there in the scary world and decided to return
@Gidgitgoescrazy and @Steph1498 welcome back!3 -
@ashleycarole86 I am doing the step challenge. I've given all already, except yesterday and today. As far as a step goal goes, I am really not sure; it's not going to be big! Maybe 4,000 per day? That would be significant for me. Most of my exercise is weightlifting and yoga!
12/30: No Exercise + 2974 steps
12/31: No exericse + 1685 steps
I know, I know!
BUT...TODAY I got in some weightlifting!

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year !
My name is Vikki, I was a member of waist aways for quite a while, but went mia somewhere around August of last year.. I was dealing with some pain that I needed to deal with, it was honestly causing me not to be myself, and although I had been dealing with it for 15 years, it finally got to a breaking point. So on Nov 22nd I had surgery. I had a double header, in my lumbar area I had a 3 level decompression along with a fusion on my s1/l5. In my cervical area I had disc replacement of my c4/5 & c5/6. I also had my c6/7 fused. So tomorrow will be 6 weeks post op. I had my post op appt last week, I am still on bend, lift, twist restrictions. So walking is all I am allowed to do. He said although I am having a remarkable recovery I HAVE to remember that I had a major surgery on a very important part of my body... lol...
I have issues with authority so being limited is hard for me, but I'm following orders.
The surgery was a success, my pain is 95% gone.
Food will be my #1 focus this month, but I do get on the treadmill and take walks, so I am going with a goal of 5k steps per day. I am not going to do the step team though cause I don't want to feel that push if I'm not feeling it that day.
About me, Im 50, married, live in MD. 3 kids, the 2 older ones live about 15 minutes from me, the youngest is in the Air force and is currently deployed. He left 10 days before Christmas but luckily he had a layover in Baltimore before heading overseas, so I got to have dinner with him before he left. That made me a very happy momma ❤
Anyway, excited to be back and join you all on this journey!7 -

Hello everyone! Happy 2022!
My name is Stephanie, I am 46 and live in Luxembourg. I am married, have two young teens here and a grown son in the United States. I have been a Waistaways member for awhile now but haven't been active in this chat group since November. My family and I like to travel and somehow when we travel there is always something that gets in the way of my better plans. I like to run or hike in the places we visit - I also like to try to local food and drinks!
I am getting back into fitness again and looking for better methods.
My current weight is 165.0 pounds and I will reach my goal of 145.0 this year.
I began and ended 2021 at about the same weight and fitness level but added tennis and lots of healthy recipes/tips to my list. I also started walking and dancing more for fun. I have been a stay at home mom for the past two years and loved all the time with the kids and to myself. But in a big change I recently landed a job in Luxembourg and start next week! Woohoo!
I look forward to reading all the posts and am glad to see so many new members in our group!
There have always been positive encouraging messages shared here!5 -

@Gidgitgoescrazy and @Steph1498 welcome back!
HOORAY! January is all kinds of fun
Welcome back you two!2 -
@metaphysicalstudio
Thanks - I'll put you down for 4K. Just to be clear though, since I am only inputting one step number for each participant per day, your total steps will be your steps + your activity, so your activity is going to be converted and count towards that step goal. If you have consistent exercise in other formats (which it appears you do!) you may find that 4K is too low - but up to you.
You will see on the reporting I am breaking out steps vs other forms of exercise in some of the stats, so you'll see numbers all sorts of ways.
I just got done a short weight session myself - so fun!4 -
PW 159.5
CW 159.5
I didn’t have the regular 10 lb gain from October-December, so that’s good!
2022 goal - spend 75% of the year under 148. Time to commit!8 -
Hi everyone...happy new year. My name is Grace. I live with my sister, I am a pharmacist and writing my PhD thesis. My goal for this year is to be in keto as much as possible. Start swimming again and focus on weight loss.

We are certainly up and rolling! I had a good snowshoe session today and day 2 of my kettlebell program for the month. I have been doing a lot of Pilates over the past year or 2 but less of other kinds of strength building. I think I have lost some of the dynamic strength, so it's back to the kettle and dumb bells. Ding Dong. I'm inching towards LATE 60s now, and want to be able to leap buildings in a single bound for a while longer.
Heads up, Monday people! Your weigh-in for week 1 is coming

Hi all. I did my starting weigh in today. 198. Do I just write it here to report it? Do I sign up for the step challenge somewhere? Do I report here? Thanks for any advice. 🤪1

Hi @twdempsey .. @jugar will grab your weigh-in updates when you post them here
If you'd like to join the step challenge, that'd be lovely. Just need your daily step target and then you can hop in and start reporting effective today (but feel free to report the week all at once a week from today).
Beyond that - the rest is up to you. It's great if you can check in daily and let us know how you're doing. Glad to have you!1 -

We were up until midnight - though stopped 'prepping' just after 11 - then up early only for the plasterer to say they aren't starting until tomorrow after all because today is a bank holiday. 🤨 I did point this out a couple of weeks ago, and I half expected this, but it wouldn't have been difficult to let us know. 🤦 That said, having the pressure was probably good as it means we have a minimal amount to do today and can largely relax.
Back to work tomorrow which I'm not really looking forward to, but like anything will be fine once it's started. I have a PT session so it's another early start as well - I'm going to miss being able to lie in! I'll have the cats shut in the office with me for a few days, as the plastering is all areas of the house that we can't close off. They're going to be very upset and I plan to occupy them with biscuits!
I need to add a new recipe/work out the calories in the ham and vegetable soup that OH made yesterday, but the rest of my day is already tracked. So far, I've been able to have what I want (in moderation of course) and am pleased with a 0.9kg loss after just two days of tracking. I know the losses will slow down, but I'll take the bigger numbers whilst I can!5 -
Great weigh-ins so far team!
1/2 exercise:
10 minutes yoga + 11 minutes strength + 10081 steps4
