On the food/water side of things I did well. I still have not integrated movement in my execution plan as yet - I am going to start that today regardless of any obstacles. I have a good start with the eating plan today - I just need to finish the day strong. It is my first workday back in the office since Dec 22nd. It's been so long that I forgot my system password - for real! Anyway - I am going to aim to get at least 30 minutes of movement today after work, because I know the longer I wait to get started with exercise, the longer it will take to get started with exercise.
That's never a bad day to start to improve yourself. Welcome I wish you well.4 -
I have been doing pretty good the last week I hope I can keep improving myself. I already drink a lot of water. I'm a type 2 diabetic so I stay thirst anyway.4

Where did you find the Plans section? I haven't been able to find it so far.0 -
I have started so many times, I’m getting older, I know it’s going to be harder to lose weight. I’m hoping this is my year5

Hitting the ground running and need some accountability in 2023! Working on Steve Weatherford's 30 Day Metabolic Reset as my meal prep guide and doing P90x3. Looking to trim down about 10 pounds.3

A sad day for me as I attended my young cousin's viewing. She passed away just before Christmas leaving her 2 boys and husband behind. So sad.
Confession: Normally I would medicate with something sweet but I didn't today. I was in the moment and therefore able to resist the temptation. I am so glad that I did not eat my feelings today as I would have felt so much worse right now.
Due to attending the viewing I inadvertently ended up doing a longer fast than normal. In any case, I was still able to keep on my eating program which was something to feel good about today. It feels much better to work out my emotions with meditation and reflection and prayer, than with food.
Hope everyone is finding ways to make 2023 a successful health journey.6 -

You are so right and thank you! I wish the same for you 1 -
I’m a few days late but I’ve already jump started the year…. So I’m onboard. 😊
Reducing my sugar intake. Making better choices with my meals. The weight and good feeling will follow.3 -
The water weight has started to fall off as I am 3 lbs down. Standard expectations with Keto if you follow diligently - water weight falls off for the first couple of weeks or more, before the real weight loss begins. I am feeling emotionally off today and will have to be vigilant around my food and water to prevent unnecessary eating. If possible, will schedule a nap during the day to counteract the lack of sleep from last night.1

I have used this off and on… as of today I intend being on. I’m 72. 150 lbs. I intend reaching 140lbs. I am well aware of the need for fitness- especially as we age. Aging better - healthier, stronger, good flexibility, balance …makes aging longer actually more fun. Less meds, better able to move, retain independence for as long as possible.
I had lost this weight but it crept back up as I wasn’t paying attention and used food to soothe feelings.
So. Once again!5 -
I'm in. Can't wait to get started on my lifestyle changes!1

It's so good to know you are not the only "here I go again" person. Lost 30 then gained 10 in the last few months. I never did get down to my target, so here I go again. I've been a user of MFP for years but never really got into the Community side. I belong to the Facebook group, but it's very quiet. Hoping for some encouragement and inspiration.4

Good Morning everyone. My name is Kathy. Joining this challenge to hold myself accountable. Get the support I need to be successful and stop beating myself up when I have a bad day. I’ve been successful in the past. I have RA and severe osteoarthritis that prevents me from being active like I’ve been most of my life. I’m embarrassed to say that the pounds have packed back on. I’m desperate to lose this weight. Looking forward to finding friends I can relate too.5

Hey everyone! I’m so excited for the new year! I’m new to MyFitnessPal and I really want to utilize all I can. And I know we can support each other and encourage each other.

In 2023, I will have lost 24 kilograms (4.4 lbs per month), so that I feel lighter and quicker on my feet to play with my toddler. I will do this by tracking my food to stick to my calories and meal goals, and I will incorporate simple, free-of-cost and non-stressful forms of exercise three times a week, until I have developed a habit that's strong enough to merit an expensive gym membership!5
-
I'm a little late joining but my goal is to finally achieve a healthy weight and healthy habits.
Grateful to have the support of the group.4 -
Here for it! Let's go, 2023!2

Time to get back in the game and get in better shape. The journey continues!!4
