@Megan_smartiepants1970 @lindamtuck2018 I have been wanting to change my username on here forever. Can you update me on the spread sheet from Tessita_07 to @running4bipolar?

1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I’m Tess. I’m 36 and I’ve been married for almost 9 years. We have two kids, Aria(5) and Luke (3). We also have two cats, Chewbacca and Blitz. I’m from Alberta, Canada, but my heart will always be in British Columbia. When I’m not…

@lindamtuck2018 PW: 227.2lbs CW: 227.8lbs SW: 237.8lbs I may not have lost this week, but losing 10lbs this month is a win for me!

I just wanted to check. I thought I might be that. Thanks.

@lindamtuck2018 Does PW mean past week?

I use the Renpho smart scale. Best scale I’ve had. I love how it stores all my weigh in data.

@lindamtuck2018 SW:237.8lbs CW: 228.2lbs

@lindamtuck2018 I can’t weigh in Friday, as we will be driving home. Can I weigh in tomorrow morning or Saturday instead?

@Slimmersixties Thank you. Nice to be losing a bit instead of gaining.

Fantastic loss! Anything you did in particular this week that helped with the loss? [/ @lindamtuck2018 I have been running 3x, strength training 1x, walk 1x, cross training 1x and 1x rest day. This is prep for my half marathon training. Nutrition wise I have tracking my calories on MyFitnessPal. Weighing out my food. Still…

@lindamtuck2018 SW: 237.8lbs CW: 232.4lbs

@Slimmersixties Colouring is such a good distraction from food. I also like the diamond art suggestion. If you are into crochet that is also a good one. This a question that really makes you think. I have had bad habits of mindless snacking. Another idea would be to have a warm drink in the evening like an herbal tea or…

@lindamtuck2018 Thanks for correcting my starting weight. It feels good to be losing again. My challenge will be the weekend, but going to do my best. Got a movie with a friend tonight. I overdo it at movies with the popcorn often.

@lindamtuck2018 Weigh in Friday SW: 237.8lbs CW: 234.4lbs On the spread sheet is says 230lbs for some reason for starting weight. But it’s okay.

I am feeling pretty good this week. I have worked out 4 times this week. My nutrition is going well. I was having some depression over Christmas, but eating better has really helped my mood .

I have big goals for myself for 2023, but if I don’t complete them all that is okay too. I want to run a least one half marathon. I’d like to run 4 races. My year has started off a bit slow though, as I am still suffering from shin splints since October. I also fell and hit my head on the ice a few days before Christmas.…

@Jpedno My half marathon is about 2 hours from where I live in Calgary, Alberta. This event is extra special, as my first ever race was at the same event, but a 5k. I want to return and do the half. Im also hoping to another half in September. See how the year holds out for me. That’s awesome that you did a half with your…

This is awesome. You’ve got this. How long have you been running for? I have been running since 2021. This year working towards running my first half marathon in May. I have had a few injuries end of last year, so easing back into things. My goal is to do 3 runs a week, with one day of strength training and some recovery…

Hi There, I am excited to join the challenge for January 2023. This will be my first challenge on MFP. I have been following @Megan_smartiepants1970 on here for awhile now, and saw she was doing a challenge and was intrigued. My name is Tess and I’m 35. I’m from Canada and mom to a 5 year old and a 3 year old. I have been…

MFP USER NAME: Tessita_07 YOUR CHOSENd WEIGH-IN DAY: Friday YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT 230lbs YOUR ORIGINAL STARTING WEIGHT 235.2lbs TEAM PREFERENCE : THE DOWNSIZERS

I'd love to be mfp friends. I am a health care aide, so I know the struggle of break room treats too.

I feel like I am reading my own weightloss goals. I am currently at 240.6lbs. I want to get 200lbs, but my ultimate goal is 180lbs. I am with you. I'll be joining this challenge too.

I'd love to be a support for you. I have 2 kids, 2 year old and a 3 month old. Starting my fitness journey again. You can do this.

Added you.

I added you. My husband loves the fast food and it makes it hard for me to lose weight. So I am determined to this despite his food cravings. Hard for me to resist I do admit

I'll add you. I've recently started using MFP again too. Been actually looking to add more friends.

You can do this. The first step is to start your journey. You will have tough days, but it is important to keep going even if you mess up. I have done it many times. We are all here rooting for you. PS Check out Danny Gets Fit on youtube for more inspiration.
