I saw someone ask in the December chat about who has a Fitbit, but I switched over to Garmin.
Any Garmin users out there who want a buddy?
Also mods - is it appropriate to start a F2F group on Garmin for exercise / step challenges? Or should I not?
I'm a garmin user! I'll be a buddy!1 -

Happy New Year, everyone! Glad to be back after a couple weeks away. I had a wonderful time visiting my parents in the Philippines. I didn't have access to a scale and I was expecting some weight gain, but I think a 1-lb gain is not bad.
Here's to a healthy and productive January!
Peace, Jec4 -

Good morning! WNM! Welcome to all the new ladies & gents!
I'm Melanie and I'm from Kansas. I’m the other team Co-captain. Truly, Ashley does most of the heavy lifting.
My (short version) story
When I was young, I was always was skinny. I got away from my nutty family, met my husband, learned to be happy. Then I got fat. I found myself weighing in about 230 and my six sixteens were too small. I bought a couple pairs of 18 pants from the thrift store and joined MFP.
I lost ~70 pounds in about a year and was pretty pleased. But I wanted another 20 off...and it didn't move. And things got a bit crazy with my husband's family...so I decided to maintain for a bit. Instead of maintaining, I gained the weight. So...now I'm working on the weight all over.
My special snowflake challenges
I'm fairly significantly asthmatic (on meds all the time), have terrible allergies and connective tissue issues (not enough collagen, too stretchy, lots of joint slippage).
August 2020, I acquired some vertigo problems (or, maybe they just got worse). After adding some meds, adjusting my diet a bit, and stopping coffee (so sad), I’ve got it mostly under control, with only one significant issue in the past 8 months. Needless to say, if I'm dizzy, I'm not walking or doing anything else. Positive: since my neurologist recommended I take 500 mg of ginger every day, it has helped a lot and now I have no excuses for not doing exercise, except for being lazy.
The point behind saying this is not woe-is-me, it is that a lot of exercise people promote is bad (anything high impact), and sometimes dangerous, for me. Sometimes people get down on themselves because they don't do the stuff everyone talks about HIIT, Insanity, stair steppers, etc. I not only don't do those things, I shouldn't. But I should exercise.
My daily goal to get about 30 minutes of walking a day at least during the week. I try to get a walk in otherwise but frequently fail. Weekends are a mixed bag.
I want to congratulate all our losers for December! I am super proud of all of you! 😊 Welcome to the team newbies! I’ve sent friend requests to all of you (many have already added). Looking forward to getting to know you all and excited about all the interaction so far this week!

Saturday weighin (late)
PW: 233
CW: 233
Sorry for the late weigh--I weighed yesterday but didn't have time to post. First, cuz we had a lazy morning. Then, we realized we had a short amount of time to leave because we were having lunch with friends we haven't seen in years (because they live in Japan, no the usual Covid reason). Lunch ended up being almost 4 hours long. Lots of fun. (how many calories does wrangling a hyperactive 11 yr old burn?) Then we visited my uncle for a while, who I haven't seen in probably a year. All these events were an hour away from home, so lots of driving.
Not making any progress. I am working on not snacking after dinner (or supper for those of you who believe lunch is dinner, etc, or, for Brits tea, I think). I think I'm doing meh.

So 6lbs down in week 1.
Happy with that - mainly through zero alcohol, fasting 12 hours (8pm to 8am) and tracking calories below 2,000 target on MFP.6 -

My steps got better each day then Wednesday I got the bad news from the doctor and spent the rest of the week either on the cross stitch or my puzzle - both very sedentary occupations. Maybe better next week.4 -
