    @ashleycarole86 I like your resolution and will copy it, to end 2024 lighter than when I start it.

    I have made many resolutions in the past regarding weight loss and I have not completed one yet. This year will be my year!

    Have you ever had your picture taken and looked at it like...wow I didn't realize I look that big. I know it may be partly the angle as well, but I had a picture taken with my niece and wow...that was a wake up call! I have now printed it out and will place it in my office at work to remind me not to sneak food from the break room.

    Hello all! Missed you. Count me in for regular team in January. I’m with you @ashleycarole86 My biggest goal is to end the YEAR and MONTH (January) lighter than I started. I have most definitely had that photo that makes me feel bad about how I look. It has been motivating in the past. But speaking of motivation, I am saying I’m done looking for it to get me on the right track. I plan to be disciplined and hopefully the motivation will follow. All I have lost over the last four years here is all but gained back. No matter. I’m not giving up. I can do this. I will do this. One little thing at a time. So I’m going to ask my strong son to move my bike to the basement from our detached garage so it’s easier to get to. I will take time for myself as a discipline. I will get back to my beloved Pilates. I will take steps to feel more settled. I will log my food. I will be present here.
    So I now understand a lot more, and actually tried on being an Eagles fan! I like a couple of the players' names (you have to admit that Hurts and Swift are hard to beat), and they were winning, so I decided they were my team. Just to try it on :smiley: My stepmother is a Patriots person, but we won't hold that against her!
    Yay @ jugar. Go BIRDS 🦅 They drive me crazy with their last seconds of games but we love them here in this house. Kelce is one of my favs. He a good human.

    Here’s the picture of my journey here. Time for that roller coaster 🎢 to dip down!

    Basically all uphill since our two moves in a little over a year. And menopause.

    Oh, I'm right there with you, babe, and I didn't have the same moves and house sales that you did! Solidarity. Let's make it together...on the downhill slide. We are more than capable, intelligent, and wonderful women who can do hard things!
    Happy New Year. See you on the flip!

    Yes! Michele is back in the room :smiley: It is indeed more about habits than motivation. Do your best to stick to some habits that you know work, and gradually it all feels normal. The body is a stickler for trying to make things stay the same, so there is a lot of hidden motivation (that we don't want!!) to overcome. Gotta talk to that inner voice as if it is a naughty toddler :lol:

    So I can't guarantee I'll ever watch another game (unless visiting my stepmother!) but I'm an Eagles fan now. Right there along with you!

    Just saw this video on Self Sabotage and I had to share. Thanks in advance for helping to raise each others’ “internal temperature”.

    Starting weight for January
    CW 90.4

    I'll do another intro in the new thread. In the meantime, must stay away from the chocolate chip cookies. Teenagers in the house who enjoy baking - I find it so hard to stay away from :-(

    @ashleycarole86 Thanks for the final step report of 2023! I love that you 3 stepped across the nucleus of a comet. That is far out, as we used to say in my hippie days!

    I think 2024 better start with more people on the step/exercise tracking team! I still don't have a tracker, and I'm kind of enjoying not having one, but I will get on this. I miss stomping out the numbers :smiley: One of these days we might get enough snow for snowshoeing to begin in earnest. It is raining right now, though, so I'm kinda grumpy.

    I'm off to start the January team chat threads. They'll be up soon!

    Friday Weigh-In
    PW: 259.8
    CW: 262.0

    booo but it's a vacation week/does time even exist right now? I will probably head back to Boston tomorrow or Sunday and I am excited to sleep in my own bed and be back to regular workouts. I just got caught up on posts and there is SO much to comment on, I will have to come back later to chime in. As it stands, I am headed out the door with my mom for some errands.

    @jugar may we all look forward to a green January week :D

    Everyone can start building next week's green fabulousness by planning your daily commitments! The F2F Habit Tracker is a simple self-regulating tool we can share to track those small things that add up.

    How many grams of fibre? 30 minutes of exercise? Brush your teeth 2x a day? Drink all that water? Pick anything attainable, specific, and that you know will make a difference as long as you do it. Small is good! It can also be a negative - no alcohol, no added sugar, no swearing at your boss - whatever it takes :smiley:

    Here you go - set it up. Use it. Change anything anytime. But stick through the month!
