    So happy to see so many new members joining our team! Welcome everyone!

    After 2 days of eating so much over the weekend I got back on track yesterday and it was tough. After only 2 days. I think it'll take me a couple more days for my body to adjust. Keeping my fingers crossed that the scale is not too hard on me by the time I weigh in on Friday.

    Hi! Excited to join!

    Are people in this group doing a particular eating plan or exercise plan for January? Or tracking calories?

    Also- could someone share the Dropbox link for the spreadsheet with checkboxes for healthy habits you want to build?

    Hi @crhillis!

    I'm new to WNM too. I'm taking Ozempic and tracking my calories. I've tried everything under the sun, and I'm hoping to be successful this time.

    steps
    Sunday: 12301
    Monday: 9566
    Tuesday: 7938
    Wednesday: 6917
    Thursday: 9872
    Friday: 10510
    Saturday: 12025
    TOTAL: 69129

    I think I am ready to come back. I feel more ready in the mornings when everything seems possible. I do not feel ready, not at all, in the evenings, when nothing seems to make any sense. But I think it's about time. My goal for January (starting already a couple days early because why wait until Sunday) is NOT to eat after 5 pm. That's usually the time when my eating controls get muted, turn off, stop working.

    I would also like to change my weigh-in days to Tuesdays so that I post my steps and CW in one post - should I already post the weight today (155.9) or wait till Friday (current weigh day) and switch to Tuesday next week?

    @crhillis Welcome! I've been doing weight watcher's for about 6 weeks but I'm not crazy about it. It's nothing like it used to be the last time I used it 20 years ago. Since January I've tracked calories and tried to keep my net carbs at 40% or less per day using just MFP. I'm currently doing both and when my WW membership ends I won't be renewing it and will be going back to just using MFP since that's what has worked best for me. I also exercise for 30-60 minutes daily, primarily cardio but also light weights a couple times per week.

    Here's the post where the link to the habit tracker spreadsheet is posted. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10878952/habit-tracker-december-2022-january-2023#latest

    Hope this helps.

    @crhillis hi, I don't follow plans very well but, for a long time, I did enter everything I ate and drank into MFP to get an idea of calorie content and portions. Then I started paying attention to the calorie deficit (what is consumed versus what is burned) and aiming for 500+ deficit per day/3500 per week. For me, this makes sense in the process kid losing weight. Added to this, I do stretching, toning, exercises and walking.

    Good morning from snowy Canada,
    I am viewing today as my first "official day" back with MFP after a long time away. I did my weight this morning and only 2lbs more than what I was anticipating - could be worse. I am feeling very motivated and spent time this morning organizing my fridge / freezer with some healthier foods.
    I also signed up for my first body chair fitness class. I have some bad knee problems and thought this might be a good alternative to the swimming that I normally do.

    Really looking forward to January challenge starting and getting to know everyone.
    Cheryl

    I've got you set to come back for January! Glad to see you're re-joining the standard weight-loss team! Today's weigh-in has been recorded - no need to weigh in on Friday unless you want to.

    Steps Results

    I am going to delay making the steps results post until Friday. Be sure to get your steps in from the week leading up to Christmas (Dec 18th - 24th) before I tabulate all of the counts.

    @ljdanny I was having a hard time when they changed the app too. Finally decided the best and quickest way is to bookmark the community page. Yes you have to do it each month. Go to the bookmark section and voila!! It's right there

    Hope its okay to ask here... but does anyone here have a fitbit? I'm doing a step challenge with my husband currently but figured it'd be more fun with more friends

    I do. I even have one other WeightNoMore friend connected - it IS fun, and it is motivating to see how that friend is doing in terms of steps. So... if you want ... I need to figure out how to add you - it's been a while and I forgot how you to it.

    @Zumba_Luvah I have a fitbit, I love doing challenges. I do not know how to add people. Just when I think I know what I'm doing I don't, lol.

    @pacsnc6 @MotylekOkruchy thank you, that's what I eventually had to do.

    I just got back from the store. I bought plenty of eggs and veggies. I tried buying steak but they didn't have any. I did buy an already made chicken. I am going to try to go back to meal planning. I think I will do a few days at a time. When I do it for the week I find I don't want the food by the end of the week and sometimes the night before I am tired and just get my granddaughters lunch ready and don't worry about me. So I am going to make baby steps starting next week. I have been able to exercise every day so far which is nice. I did another figure 8 video and my granddaughter and I took her babies for a walk in the doll carriage. I also forgot to weigh in this morning so I will have to do it tomorrow.

    Hi, everyone! I'm looking forward to getting started on the January challenge. I'm so glad I found this group just in time! My weight has been going up for several years, but 2022 really took the cake: I gained 40 lbs. My goal for 2023 is to lose them all and build some long-term habits that will set me up to lose another 40 lbs in 2024.

    @Zumba_Luvah I also have a Fitbit and would welcome some friends and challenges. Feel free to friend me on here and I'll give you my email to find me.
