January Goals
*Yoga every day (Move challenge, Yoga with Adriene)
Week 1: Yeah, that got too tough too fast. I've found another program I'm going to start tonight.
Week 2: didn't start, slept instead.
*10k steps a day, six days a week.
Week 1: yeah, uhh...mostly?
Week 2: doing great so far! We'll see how the weekend goes.
*Make the salads. Eat the salads.
Week 1: I have not made the salads!
Week 2: still have not made the salads! I just need to find the time (and the fridge space) to do it. Mostly this week I've been either running errands or sleeping after work. >.<
*Not one more big fat peanut butter and jelly sandwich until January 30th.
Week 1: so far, I'm actually sticking to this one!
Week 2: it's like whack-a-mole! I'm not eating pb&js, but I had ice cream a few more times than I should. Arghhh...
BUT! BUT!! Do you see that 230.6?? I have not seen that since mid-November when I started my slide! But I still *maintained* through the holidays, and now, shortly after getting back in there, I'm almost in a new decade FINALLY! I'm so excited.

2022 Goal: 147
Bluh. Part of this is hormonal - I saw 195.2 earlier this week - but it's also a reminder that I'm not sticking to my budget as well as I would like to be. And now my bestie and her partner are in town for the next week, and next week is also my husband's birthday. I'm going to hold on as well as I can but I'm starting to think 192 is a little too ambitious. (Now, watch, I'll whoosh down to 193 next Saturday...I'm speaking it into existence.)6 -

I am glad I’m heading back in the right direction! Yesterday was my one year anniversary in my weight loss journey. I lost 43 lbs total but gained some back over the holidays. I am happy with that. I started out very slowly with my exercise and think it’s time to ramp it up a bit this year. I’ve been missing my lunch time walks with my sister. She still isn’t back full time since having Covid over a month ago. I just hate walking by myself!6 -

January weight loss goals:
1. Mindful Eating (eat less and foods better for me - no more snacking)
*Update: I am snacking but healthy snacks!
2. Move more!
*Update: Needs improvement. Shown in my progress numbers. Will do better.
3. Log my food intake everyday into MFP
*Update: Still doing this daily and find myself constantly looking for new recipes to try that keep my calories, protein, and carbs in line with my goals. This is a big deal for me, as normally I know what I like and don’t wander too far or experiment too much with food.
Challenges this week: Motivation to exercise and …sodium intake!!!
I am really embracing this journey.
How are you making out?

Happy New Year!!
SW: 216.4
Jan goal: 8 lbs
1/3- 216.4
1/8- 210.8 - I had a great week! So I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself.. I was too busy getting in a bunch of challenges last week. My name is Liz, I’m 5’8 and 38 years old. I lost 35 lbs 2 years ago and just gave up and gained it all back. I’m determined to do better and make a lifestyle change. My brother is getting married in October and all the bridesmaids are skinny.. I got work to do 😂😂. Good luck everyone!
1/15- 207.8 - had a great week but I feel myself snacking more and more which I need to put a stop to.
Total loss: 8.67 -
My mid-month weigh-in was today and I'm on track with a 3 pound loss (well 2.8, but I'm rounding up). I can only weigh myself twice a month or else I get obsessed, but knowing I have to wait two weeks makes me excited.
I've only gone swimming twice this month, but I'm really going to try to push myself to make the time and get to the gym at least 2/3 times a week. Overall, my eating/logging is on track. Just gotta keep on keeping on.💜8 -
Hi, everyone.
We're halfway through January, and I'm halfway toward my goal for this month:
SW: 215
January 1: 205
January 15: 202
January 31: Hoping for Onederland
Goal weight: 180 - by July 29, 2002.
I have to be weighed to get on a float plane in Alaska on that day, and I told the pilot I weigh 20 pounds less than I do now. The reported weight includes full gear.
Not making flight weight = a disappointed 90-year-old mother on her birthday whose bucket list item is to see the grizzlies in Katmai National Park. Inspiration/Pressure ! 🐻🐻🐻🐻
My progress is slowing down, probably because I'm hunkering down and not going to the gym until this latest wave of the virus peaks and subsides where I live. And it's too cold to walk the beaches around here right now. I'll give home workouts a go this next week -- I'll look back to some of your posted suggestions for great at-home workouts.
There are so many successes already this month --way to go @RavenStCloud, @kramereh, @MacKenzieLeeCan, @imgoff232, @sargemarcori - And that's just on this page !
A lot of inspiration and support here. Thank you guys!

Glad to be back and Thank you @RavenStCloud for this thread. Great support here!

My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.
9/14/20 SW-255 lbs
5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
5/14/21-232.2 lbs started MFP and Low Carb/1000-1200 calorie while recovering

12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/26/21-165.6 lbs
I went to Texas Roadhouse on 12/28, and the weight went up. It should be just water weight from sodium.
1/1/22-168 lbs
My goal is 5 lbs for January, down 6 lbs and 15 lbs for Nov/Dec/Jan. Met my goal of 15 lbs already!
Nov/Dec/Jan weight loss to date-19.8 lbs! :-)
Down 93 lbs so far!
1/1/22-168 lbs. I did my Elliptical today. 240 minutes for 16.5 miles.
1/2/22-168 lbs. I did my Elliptical today. 240 minutes for 16.55 miles. Needed to get back on my regular reporting weigh in day. I was hoping for a drop but with having Pork & Sauerkraut yesterday, the sodium is inhibiting that, I'm sure.
1/9/22-164.6 lbs. Finally!!! The water weight left yesterday and had a long awaited drop today. Lowest weight I've been in 6-7 years. I did 244 minutes on my Elliptical for 17.1 miles.
1/16/22-162 lbs. :-) New Low on the scale! Also my fat percent today was moderate instead of high. Normal is next! Did 253 minutes on my Elliptical for 16 miles. Slower pace obviously than my usual.

Hey ladies and happy Monday!! Quite a bit of COLD here, frozen rain and snow on top of that, but no where as bad as it could be. Maybe 2 inches of snow, with 1/4 inch of ice under?
Trying to decide if I want to go outside walking or just pace up and down the house like a caged beast for a few miles like I did yesterday. I feel more accomplished when I get outside.
Anyone have thoughts on indoor exercise equipment? I was thinking of a rowing machine. I'd need something small b/c I live in a mobile home, and needs to hold over 220 pounds, at least for now! I'd love suggestions.2 -

I've been 14 days alcohol free this month after joining "The Alcohol Experiment" program. Originally I had set out to have more alcohol free days than alcohol days this month but the program is super helpful to getting my alcohol consumption under control. I've ben drinking my 64 oz. of water a day and hopefully will start working out and running next month once I am done with my home renovations.7 -
PMS and TOTM strike again! Ate at/slightly over maintenance yesterday and woke up to nature's gift this morning. About mid week, I weighed in at 204.1, but of course that was no meant to last. Oh well! Gonna drink plenty of water and eat lots of greens for the next couple of days.
