Hi all. I had a quiet New Year's Eve at home, we ate a nice meal and played Stardew Valley (a videogame). We made it to 11:44 and decided to go to bed, too tired. We watched the ball drop in bed lol. Does anyone have any New Year's Day eating traditions they do? I am from the Midwest, USA and we eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day for good luck for the new year. I am making Sheet Pan Sausage and Sauerkraut: https://dinnerthendessert.com/sheet-pan-sausage-and-sauerkraut/
I want to point out that I have chosen my phrase for 2023, see the bottom of this post. I find it motivates me to see these phrases every time I post. Are you choosing one for the year?
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: I ate only one serving of dinner last night, which was delicious and hard to resist.
My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."3 -
I invite you to join me on a quest for a NO ZERO DAYS 2023! What is No Zero Days? There are 4 simple ideas behind this:
1) There are no more zero days. A zero day is when you don’t do anything towards your goals. But that doesn’t mean you have to go full-throttle on your goals each day, no, just do something small if you have to, do a single push-up, walk to the mailbox, drink one less soda…anything not to report a zero day. Do one thing to make your life better each day.
2) Be grateful to the 3 YOUs: the past you, the present you, and the future you! Be GRATEFUL to the past you for the positive things you’ve done. Did you do that push-up yesterday? THANK YOU YOUNGER ME. Second part of the 3 me’s is you gotta do your future self a favor, just like you would for your best friend. Tired and can’t get off reddit/videogames/interwebs? This one’s for future me, i’m gonna rock out p90x Ab Ripper X for 17 minutes. I’m doing this one for future me. Alarm clock goes off and bed is too comfy? This one’s for my best friend, the future me. I’m up and going for a 5 km run (or 25 meter run, it’s gotta be non zero). MAKE SURE YOU THANK YOUR OLD SELF for rocking out at the end of every.single.thing. that makes your life better. The cycle of doing something for someone else (future you) and thanking someone for the good in your life (past you) is key to building gratitude and productivity.
3) FORGIVE YOURSELF. Tried your best to have a nonzero day yesterday and it failed? so what. I forgive you previous self. I forgive you. But today? Today is a nonzero masterpiece to the best of my ability for future self.
4) Exercise and books: exercise is self-explanatory but the books, read a self-improvement book…reading gets you to the next level! I recommend Healthy as *kitten*: The Habits You Need to Get Lean, Stay Healthy, and Kick *** at Life. It does have a lot of F bombs in it, but I found it very helpful!
Here’s more detailed information and where I got the above info:

January Habit Tracker! A great way to check off those little habits every day:
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10878952/habit-tracker-january-2023#latest0 -
@trooworld i love your quote for 2023. I tend to get caught up in all or nothing mentality, if I mess up the whole day is shot. Which is a terrible mindset. We have a choice, every single choice, to put our health first. Thank you for the reminder!
I have some goals in mind. Maybe silly, maybe lofty. Let’s see.
Goal 1: hit 219.8 next Sunday. It’s 2.6 pounds in a week but after the overindulgence of the past few weeks it should be literally just eating normal.
Goal 2: hit 209.8 by Mar 1
Goal 3: hit 199.8 by May 1
189.9 July 1, 179.9 Sept 1, 169.9 Nov 1 159.9 GOAL Jan 1.
60 pounds in a year. 5 pounds a month. Ok. I can do this.
I’m also hoping to build up some strength and stamina. Here’s my possibly silly goal.
For this month I would like to do squats, push-ups and crunches but add one each day. So today I did one of each. Tomorrow I’ll do 2 of each etc. Having spent 11 days lying around sick that was enough for today lol.
Ok that’s all for now! Talk to you soon!4 -

@megnolia82 - not silly at all! It's a great plan to get the habit started. By the end of the month, you'll be doing 3 sets of 10 each!3

@trooworld pepper palace is a franchise store that deals with hot sauces, additives and salsas. They even have sample available. I tried a drop of a bottle of THE END FLATLINERS. I had to sign a waiver before I could try a sample. Just so you know it was Hot. However I didn't let anyone in the store know. Lol1

Hi! My name is Jen. I’m 54 live in North Carolina and I have 2 grown sons.
I have battling weight issues most of my life. I have tried many different types of plans. But I find the support from MFP works the best. My goals include: losing the extra weight and feeling better about myself and feeling healthier. I’m looking forward to getting to know all you and reaching our goals together. 😀3 -
Good evening!
Sorry for the copious posting today. I have been a pretty quiet group member for the past few months and I wanted to fix that! Hope you don’t get sick of me.
@19shmoo69 oh boy! Good for you! I love hot sauce but draw the line at sweating and tears lol. I do love how artisan hot sauce seems to be the microbrew of the 2020s! Got quite a few new small-batch varieties for Christmas to try.
@Jen_967 welcome!
@micaroo4 thank you for the encouragement! Actually that’s a great way to see it. Reps and sets makes it seem very reasonable and attainable.
I know my fitness goal is not very impressive at the moment. I’m averaging around 12,000 steps a day during the work week but having been sick the last two weeks has really zapped my energy. I’m going to ease back into it.4 -
@trooworld Hubby and I started a tradition together to have prime rib and fixings on New years day because, we want to start out the new year eating well. The last 2 yrs though, hubby went to the hospital on new years day near death both times. This year he has been sick so, I put the prime rib in the freezer. Lol, maybe V-day or something.
Hey y'all, I'm trying to set some goals here and the main thing I keep coming up with is I've noticed I have no follow through. Starting is easy but, I always seem to flake out about about half way through. I really got to see this on the habit tracker because I flake out about half way through the month. This was a clarifying moment.
1- My main goal is "follow through".
Next, I want to be able to cut my own toenails without getting out of breath or feeling like I'm about to throw up because my stomach is getting squished.
2- Cut my own toenails!
I'm very unhappy with how I look. I haven't battled with my weight all of my life but, I have for the last 20 yrs. This has wreaked havoc on my self confidence, self esteem etc. It has caused depression and with other things. I just don't want to go anywhere. I don't want anyone to see me. I'd rather do my socializing on social media. I used to be a happy go lucky kind of girl now, I'm the very opposite. So....
3-Love myself again.
Last but not least, I want to look good in my clothes again. I bought a bunch of super cute clothes last year and now I'm 20 lbs heavier.
4- Look good in my clothes again.
Now, I need to set a plan for action! I can't just dive in, I have to take it slow so I don't burn out.
No zero days, I worked out for 20 min so I would reach my 10,000 step goal.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get so "depressive"...

Hi and welcome to all the new members.
Drews Anna, I hope your hubby is feeling better. I didn’t find anything depressive in your post. I appreciate the honesty in it, most of us will find something that fits us too.
Shmoo, I like this idea of pepper palace. I hesitate in buying new hot sauces, because I don’t want stuck with something that has no flavor only heat. Taste tests would be helpful.
Meg, you and I both will be posting. I promise to not to get sick of it 😊
Congrats Shmoo on your loss posted above2 -
Hi, I'm Lisa, live in Florida, married 31 years, 2 adult children- 1 lives here- looking for that first job. The other is in college. I've been in this group for a couple of years now and really enjoy the camaraderie and support it provides. I've struggled with my weight since college and have taken weight off successfully several times over the years. Now that I'm at a more "mature" age, it's become harder.
2022 wound up being a no loss year for me. I have a bunch of excuses about it. I'm just going to push those aside and get started again. Determined to have some results this year!
@Katmary71 - hug received! Thank you! Here's one for you {{HUG}}

@19shmoo69 @gemwolf110 @hlnnan @shaunarlr83 congrats on getting onto the leaderboard! A special shout-out to @FushiaKat for staying in the green for all of December AND making her goal! Woot woot!!!
@megnolia82 Thank you! I do the all-or-nothing mentality, too, it's a hard one to break but I'm working on it. Great goals! I don't think they are silly at all. No need to apologize for posting, the more the merrier! I think anytime anyone focuses on their health/fitness, it's impressive. They could be just sitting on the couch not doing anything but instead, they choose to work on progress.
@minstrelofsarcasm There is one more milestone: @FushiaKat reached her ultimate goal in December!!! Yay, FushiaKat!!!
@19shmoo69 LOL that's funny you had to sign a waiver. I like the name, "The End Flatliners" sounds ominous!
@Jen_967 Hi and welcome to the Slimpossibles, Jen! Looking forward to getting to know you.
@DrewsAnna That sounds like a nice tradition. Oh dear about your DH! I'm sorry he's sick this year, too. I wish him better health in 2023 and yes, prime rib for V-Day sounds perfect! I love your goals and can identify with them. The cut my own toenails one hits me hard, it's nearly impossible for me to do that. You weren't being depressive to me. Hugs to you.
Hi all. My wins have been slim pickings lately. I hope to report some good wins tomorrow. I have some goals today: track my food, drink 50 oz of water, and do 30 mins of intentional exercise. Let's do this!!!
MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: I intentionally drank 25 oz of water yesterday.

Morning everyone!
Ugh. I’m on day 13 of a horrible virus. Can’t wait for this to be over. BUT I did my two squats, 2 push-ups and 2 crunches this morning. Little win!
Today I walked from my bed to my recliner in the living room and that may be just about enough.
Fingers crossed for some relief today! I Hope you all have a great one!
@DrewsAnna excellent goals! I wish you and your hubby a year of peace and good health.

I wanted to jump on here sooner to share this! It was actually sent to me by my Beachbody Coach but I thought it would be more suitable for our No Zero Days Challenge!!! If you look closely, zoom in, or print it out…there are numbers in each letter and all 365 days of this coming year are there!! What a fun way to keep track.
I think I’m going to categorize my activity by color, for example yesterday I hiked so #1 will be green, gym days will be another color, and so on and so forth. By the end of the year I can look and see just how much I did each month!!!
Also I didn’t get to sit and put all of my goals to text but I did hit them all yesterday. Tonight I will have a full catch up session!!! As always sending so much love to you all. Y’all helped me come out of 2022 in such a better place than I went into it!!!5 -
Happy New Year! My name is missy and I live with my bichon and 3 huskies. I work full time going back to school at the end of the month. I started gaining weight when I started my current job about 10 years ago. Went from a very physical job to a sedentary job that consumed my life for years. Getting back to a healthier me this year.3
