@SeriouslySta, so sorry this happened to you and it affected the ensuing years of your life. Contrary to what you were told, I consider a muscular, strong body to be beautiful!

My evening beverage is a pot of tea - made with one bag of chai and one of whatever herbal takes my fancy...currently lemon ginger. No milk/cream/sugar added.

Found the challenge for 2017 to be very motivational. While I am relatively close to my goal weight, those last few lbs are proving to be very stubborn and the holidays haven't helped.

My husband uses one of these for exercise while he is sitting at his computer. However, he is a stroke survivor and uses it as part of his rehab program. Good for anyone with limited access to activity (for whatever reason: health, environment, etc.) to keep things moving. I think it would also be good for anyone who is…

@Jimb376mfp - Yay to us! :smiley: I've noticed your accomplishments through this Challenge and have admired your commitment to the process. This has indeed been a great Challenge to keep me on track throughout the year. Looking forward to the 2018 version. Thank you for setting up that thread.

@AnnPT77 Thanks for that post - inspirational and reassuring. You are in the mindset that I aspire to in that you can trust the process & know that you will get back to where you want to be. I'm not quite there yet. I'm 3 lbs. or so up over the holidays and, while my head knows that I am in control and NOT going back to…

Well done! Congratulations!

My commitment for 2018 is to be involved/participate in as many activities as I can that interest me. Officially retired as of January 5 - now on vacation - and the plan is to live every moment. I have been quite active to this point but see retirement as a whole new opportunity.

I was one of those this year. Waited until January 15th, though. ;) After several years of avoiding the hard work (tracking, eat less, etc.) and hoping for magic to happen (the woo!!), I buckled down, still here almost a year later and in for the long haul. See this phenomenon every January at the pool where I swim…
