Happy January, friends!
The new year is the ultimate fresh start. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to start the year out healthier.

Whether you’re just starting out with the group, or if you’ve been here awhile, we’re so glad that you’re on the journey together with us.

Happy New Year!

    Hi Jill @jm216, Congratulations on your upcoming, 30-year anniversary! That's amazing! It's also impressive that you're able to lose weight over this festive season!

    I'm in Massachusetts (Boston metropolitan area), age 66, divorced since 1988 with one son, aged 41. He's been married over 4 years. No grandchildren. (His wife is 45; so the only "grandchildren" I have are their two chickens, "Meadow" and "Willow"!)

    I hope it's okay to check in weekly to see how everyone's doing? Daily weigh-ins were giving me anxiety, but they did help me to be more careful during the very challenging holiday season, for which I'm very grateful!

    I hope your feeling is right about 2025! I am looking for a fresh start and to build healthy habits to maintain for the rest of my lifetime.

    Very best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!🎉🌟🙏💗

    @Walela617 I'm doing the same, sort of. I'm going to check in every day, post my goal accomplishments/struggles. Then weigh in, reflect on the week and catch up with the team on Wednesdays. So glad you're returning.

    Hi @iLive2Walk, I plan to report daily calories and activity on my favorite boards to keep in touch with MFP friends and to be more accountable.

    I like Jill's idea of intentional movement for at least 20 minutes per day. I think I should be able to do that!

    Best wishes!

    Happy (almost) New Year to all!

    Thank you for getting this going and for the inspiration!💪

    My name is Maeve. I am 61 (had to stop and do the math), have been married almost 30 years, have four kids in their twenties, love my job (healthcare), and am sooooo ready to make 2025 the year of getting healthy and strong.

    My son is getting married in May, and that is certainly a motivator, but I want these practices to be lifelong. I am doing keto; it has worked for me in the past until I stopped putting in the work to stay healthy.

    Cheers to all!💃

    My goals for January:
    ❄️Log daily & stay at/under calories and macros goals
    ❄️Weigh daily
    ❄️Move 20 minutes each day
    ❄️ Drink 6 cups of water

    Hi everyone! Gearing up for the new year with you! I re-started my weight loss journey this past October and have been very successful. I lost 20 lbs from 9/28/24 to 11/28/24. Since then I've been up and down with all the holiday festivities. Now hopefully I can get things back on track.

    Goals:
    💪 Drink 100 ounces of water daily
    💪 Consume less than 1200 cal per day
    💪 Hit my macro goals daily
    💪 Exercise at least 3 times a week

    Hi everyone, Looking forward to the New Year!

    @jm216, Hi Jill! Are you going to do a weekly challenge as well? If so, I will hop over and bookmark that page instead. Otherwise, I plan to post daily calories and steps (plus any other activities) here and will report weight every Wednesday beginning January 1st, 2025 (tomorrow).

    Wishing the best to all for 2025! 🎉

    Hi all,
    I’m Debbie. I’m 45, married for 22 years. I have 2 kids, one just got accepted to college the other is a 6th grader. About 4 years ago we moved from Florida to Massachusetts. Shortly afterwards my husband was diagnosed with cancer. He survived and is currently healthy, but the stress of everything cost me major weight gain! I’m currently 230 lbs which is my highest ever, including my 2 pregnancies!

    My goals for 2025 are:
    Lose weight (I’d love to get back to 160 but I’m trying to be realistic)
    Get off blood pressure meds
    Get back into an exercise routine.

    I’ve been on and off MFP for years but this time I’m committed to stick with it! Happy new year everyone!

    Hello Carole,

    I’ve decided not to do the weekly group. I’m trying to keep things simpler this year. On this thread you can post how you want… daily or weekly… whatever works best for you.

    This looks like a great group!
    I like the idea of daily habit checking, with posting weight weekly.
    I need to :
    1. Exercise at least 3 hours a week.
    2. Eat at or below tdee daily
    3. Eat minimum protein daily.
    4. Be in bed by 12 pm.
    5. Be up by 8
    6. Dressed, teeth brushed, bed made by 8:30

    This morning I weighed 184.2
    1st goal = 170

    Happy New Year!
    Thanks to Jill for getting this going and to everyone for your posts. Lots of determination here. Thanks!

    Funny how the littlest things can help. I started keeping three water bottles going, such a small self-care move, but a big help.

    To an awesome 2025!

    @deepwoodslady - I'm wondering if a new scale isn't in line for you. I can' imagine that it is too uplifting or motivating to here such nonsense from your scale. Artificial Intelligence is just that ARTIFICIAL! Listen to us instead - your persistence is amazing. With a fresh new year coming, get back to the mindset - beating one mini goal at a time! You CAN do it!


    @iLive2Walk The info doesn't come from my scale. It is from a website I use on my PC called trendweight.com . I do like the tracking info, I just don't always like the comments! MFP often does the same thing when I close out my day. It will tell me how skinny I'm going to be in just 5 weeks or it will tell me how much fatter than I believe I will be. I think any app or website that tries to do projections are usually pretty far off as there is no way for them to predict the future, even when looking at the past (due to holidays, occasions and other irregularities). I just have to learn to take them with a grain of salt if I want to pursue their data, otherwise. If it was just my scale, I would take your advice and just chuck it lol!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Dec 31st): 192.6
    Goal: 188.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight 192.9)- Okay, so not the greatest start for 2025, but I plan on a great finish! :) Last night ended with pizza and cheese bread and a small celebration with middle DD and DS. I managed to stay away from the wine and the adult beverages even though I had it chilling. Weight up today. Hopefully back down to 192 point anything by tomorrow. I really need to pre-log my food today. It’s been awhile. It’s key. Welcome to 2025, a new year and a new opportunity. And welcome to all our new friends who have chosen this challenge. It’s always exciting to see new faces!
