We all have those swings @mulecanter. You'll be back down again. That's one reason I don't think I could do 75 Hard right now @angmarie28. I just can't make myself get outside and exercise when it's 20 and below. That's just too cold for me.

Congrats @mulecanter on your 1st place finish!

Welcome to all the new members!

I've had friends do the 75 Hard challenge and I applaud you for doing it @angmarie28. I've thought about it but I don't know how I would get in two workouts a day with my ridiculous work schedule at this time. Maybe I'm just being a slacker though and I really could make it work. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and…

Even if you aren't seeing a big change on the scale it looks like a lot of our members are seeing small movements downward and if not are holding steady. That is great too! I always count that as a win in my book. I think sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and expect a loss of 2 or more pounds a week and when that…

Have you had an issue with a wearable or a watch causing dermatitis before? I wonder if it is just the material used in this product. I would try to wear it a bit looser if possible where it will still be able to read your wrist for lack of a better term but will not be in such close contact.

It's getting way too quiet in here. Anyone have any wins this week? Anything new you are trying to add to your weekly routine?

Thanks for the info @angmarie28 and @bearchested. My gym has reopened so I have access to a full gym and feel comfortable using almost everything. The only thing I occasionally have issues with is kettlebell swings due to vertigo but otherwise I feel comfortable going in and doing lifts and anything else. I just hate going…

Does anyone have a good weight training program that they follow? Or a site you use for lifting ideas? I work with a personal trainer a couple of days a week and those workouts are great but when I lift on my own I usually feel a little lost on putting together a lift schedule. I have talked with by trainer and she said…

I'm glad to hear you are getting connected with a dietitian and are starting to feel better @JoDavo66. Hopefully you can get some rest today.

Hope you are feeling better @JoDavo66.

I love the idea @angmarie28. I'm doing the weight loss challenge on my unit at work but we don't do any challenges or anything within it. It's basically just a weigh in on January 4th and then an ending weigh in on May 12th to see who has lost the biggest percentage.

I hope everything goes well for you this month and we see you back soon @dailyzey.

There always has to be someone who disagrees. Definitely wasn't me, that looks delish!

I decided to join the Biggest Loser challenge at work which runs from January 4th thru March 29th. I'm hopeful that with a little financial motivation, this group and my coworkers I can kick start my weight loss again.

Welcome to all the new January members!

I'm an emotional eater too @vjsky At least you acknowledge it and are taking steps to change your habits. Congrats on the mini at home gym, I hope it helps give you that extra motivation.

I completely understand. I'm trying to make myself ignore the Sunday shift that is still out there because I work extra tonight and all day tomorrow. I really need a day off and I need to get gifts wrapped. It's hard to turn down the OT but at some point I know my body will shut me down if I don't do it myself. Hope you…

That sounds like a good time!

The past couple of weeks have been so crazy for me. I know I have let my diet and exercise slide due to working too much and trying to get Christmas presents bought and wrapped. I think I finally have a day off Sunday so I hope I can have some down time and some time to just rest and reset.

I hope you get a little bit of down time soon @angmarie28. I have not have COVID but know the short staff feeling. My hospital is very short and no one seems to be wanting to pick up the extra hours I think fearing getting ill so I've been working a lot of OT. The pay is great but it's starting to catch up to me.

I don't have any audiobooks that I listen to but I listen to podcasts while I walk.
