    @Mrscanmore I haven't been xcountry skiing in years. I wish I could go, but we don't get snow here. Enjoy!

    I am terrible at it but trying to relearn. I bought a weighted one off of amazon. From watching youtube videos it seems like the larger the hula hoop the easier it is for adults. Mine isn't quite large enough for my current skills haha but I am getting progressively better. And Trying to get better is motivating me to keep at it. It is fun. I am sure they sell kids hula hoops everywhere, but I think they might be too small for an adult who is trying to relearn. I am tempted to look for another one that is really big to use until I get back in the swing of it, but I am noticing I am getting better every day and it is keeping me moving in the cold winter months haha.

    This is the one I bought.

    @cassique Somehow I missed this post until just now. :-/ Thanks for the info! I need to find someone local who has one so that I can "try before I buy" LOL

    HI team! I have been having a hard time FINDING the group from my phone! And I rarely sit down to my computer outside of work, so I haven't been checking in.
    But I have been having a pretty good week! I have exercised each day, but not been outside each day...it's SO HARD To leave my school when the weather is crappy. Over this winter! And I have been making good food choices, too. Hope all is well!

    Hi everyone. Excited to be back. Can anyone help me with finding the star to save this page. All I have is a flag and I have to do a lot to try and find the page lol

    It is a flag now, so you’ll click that flag at the top to “bookmark” the group😊 ..and once you’re in the community you can always find us again either at the bottom of the initial community page OR by clicking your profile picture. There you’ll see a drop-down list to include “bookmarks”

    @loseit3136 Because I'm too lazy to retype this I'm reusing the instructions that @Krysless2 typed the other day. Try doing this and let us know if it helps you find us. :)

    Weigh in week 1
    PW: 145
    CW 141

    This was mostly water, perhaps a bit of fat, too...I was really inflamed and bloated from drinks a few nights and salty food. That, combined with a bad headache and lack of sleep (funny how these things all go together as we age...) left me bloated. After a week of just getting back into regular habits, I am **feeling** so much better and remembering my "why." My happy weight is around 138-140, so I am really just looking to focus on getting there and staying there by doing what works (taking it easy on any processed foods, which means ensuring I eat enough good stuff during the workday, pumping iron 3-4 times a week, moving, and getting outside!)

    Weekly Roundtable Discussion: WRDinspired by @everydaywechoose (Thank you, Dee!)
    So let’s make some 'Mini Healthy Habits’!!

    This doesn’t sound like it should be too difficult!! Please share your ‘mini goal’ and how you will chart your progress!

    (Click on “Spoiler” for examples)
    … making 'mini healthy habits'. So, for this I pick some easily achieved thing that I can easily do on a daily basis and physically make a chart to see your success. I do this 'thing' for a whole month. The next month you pick something else. It could be 10 min to 'tidy' up each day. I picked a song each day and sang it to myself:), another month I wanted to take 10 min before getting out of bed each morning to think about 10 things that I was appreciative for. It really does not matter what it is, just that it's something you have been wanting to do. The charting part is important, because it reinforces that yes you did it. I found after 3 months of doing this I kept doing some of these 'habits' as they became second nature and I started to feel more wins As I'm writing this I realize I need a 'feb' healthy habit. ...ummm I'm going to take today to think about that. I'll get back to the group tomorrow with my healthy habit for the month.

    If anyone else wants to join, I'd love to hear what your 'mini healthy habit' is for Feb, and how you are charting it.

    Took me a minute to figure out what I was going to do.. My February “mini-goal” is to read a book for 5 minutes a day.

    Maybe I’ll actually do it now!!

    Good evening TBBT! For those of you that are new, I'm Christine! I was captain of TBBT for a while, but have stepped away from that for a bit(I'm kind of the discreet co-captain)! I am here to help if you need it! While I haven't been posting as often, I still try to check the community daily! Just tag me @cmhubbard92 if you have a question or anything! I will see it, now that I know how notifications work with the new setup! Thank you Sue(@DaffyGirl88)

    I have been a part of TBBT since February 2019, but started my weight loss journey in November 2018. I've lost nearly 75lb(I'm in a little bit of a lull currently) since the start. I am married with four fur babies and live in Connecticut. I just recently joined our local gym and have grown quite fond of group classes and have been attending 5-6 days a week. When the weather warms up a bit, I look forward to getting back out hiking in addition to my classes.


    I've had a bad week checking in (again!) I know I'm late posting, but below is my MUAC from the past week. I will be posting my weigh in tomorrow morning.

    • Attend classes at the gym M,T,W,T at a minimum. There are other classes on Fri/Sat that I want to try, but only if I have the energy.
    • Drink at least 64oz water daily
    • Meal prep for at least 3 work days each week.
    • Read and catch up on the happenings of TBBT each day, and post at least 2x weekly.
    • Weigh in on my actual weigh day (Friday) and not Saturday.

    Not much this week. But aunt flow is here so I’m sure that has to contribute to very little weight loss

    Friday Feb 4 (week 1 day 6)

    ✔️ Track: Yes
    ✖️ Under Calories: No
    ✖️ Exercise: No
    ✔️ Water: yes
    So I didn’t do exercise and I didn’t stay under track. I think I had too many drinks that put me over. Oh well. The scale didn’t move today from yesterday.
    So I have decided not to insanity and start weight lifting with Liift4 so starting Monday that’s the schedule. I will update my day checkin tonight for Saturday. I plan to stay on track and under. I don’t know yet about exercise.
