    Hello Downsizers, my name is Jim and I live in St. Louis, Missouri with my wife Susan and our youngest son who's a high school senior (soon to be empty nesters). We have another son in college and two adult daughters. We're big travelers and have taken the kids to all 50 states to visit all the capitals and many National Parks (45+) along with a few Canadian provinces and Caribbean islands. I used to travel a lot for work (many times overseas) but changed jobs 7 years ago and now it's all pleasure trips at this point.

    I've been overweight for probably 20 years but once was in great shape and so I know I have it in me to get back to that (relative to my age now). I had dropped to 205 lbs about 2 years ago but regained most of it back and am now hovering right around 240.
    Pros: I eat pretty healthy and otherwise have good medical history
    Challenges: Workaholic, insomnia, portion control

    I'm glad to be a part of this team and am looking forward to sharing in our collective success (1 week at a time). We recently celebrated with some friends at a Christmas-themed pop-up restaurant. I'm the one at the end of the table on the bottom right and Susan is on the far left side on the bottom left. Everything was very festive and we had a great time and I had an arugula and beet salad and split a turkey sandwich with Susan (good choice!) ... but also a few too many drinks (oh well, no one is perfect right?).

    Welcome aboard Jim and Susan. We take it one week at a time and try to support everyone's efforts. Things change as the nest empties out, the road trips for work end, and much of the workaholic pressure subsides. Transitions are good. No time like the present to start working on getting back down to that 205 physique. But no matter what, your friends on this team will be here to help. Nice Christmas picture, by the way.

    Hi everyone! I'm Darlene and this is my second round with the Downsizers. I am retired, 63-year-old, married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023 and have lost 63 pounds to date. My original goal was to get out of the obese category - but made that last month. My new goal is to get to "ideal" with a five pound buffer, so I have about another 30 pounds to go. I also had a goal in 2023 to walk 2,023 in 2023 and completed that in November as well. My new goal is to get to 2,400 by the end of the year, and complete a 10K on Jan 1 (walking). Walking is my main exercise, with my current goal at 17k steps a day. I try to strength train 3 days a week, and some kind of stretch exercise once a week (don't love the stretching!). I will be changing my username shortly (when one of my other groups completes the round); hoping that it won't mess things up here - I'll let you know when it completed (thinking 17KStepsADay). My goals this month:
    • 4 pounds (always my goal), although with the holidays will be happy without a gain.
    • Average 17K steps a day (I usually "rest" one day a week)
    • Strength train 3 times weekly
    • Stretch train once weekly
    • Hit 2,400 miles walked in 2023
    • Be better about checking in here!

    Nice loss! The scales is only one measure of our success. I think with focusing on eating healthier and exercise a decrease scales will follow.

    Hi Downsizers sorry for accidentally posting at the start of your thread and making things confusing, one of my Mission Slimpossibles friends let me know where my post went. Time to get the cereal out of the freezer and get the milk out of the pantry! Haha have a wonderful December!

    It wasn’t that long ago my intro post went on another team chat. When I can’t find my keys the freezer is the first place I look. 😂

    It’s not a problem changing your name. I just have to make sure I change it on the spreadsheet. How was your weekend getaway?
