I agree! I finally made peace with how long this is going to take this time. I realized that in order to move the number on the scale, I can't focus on the scale. Instead, I have to focus on what it takes to move the needle. That's the whole reason I created this board. When I focus on the habits, the scale moves more…

Wow! Look at all the new faces! I'm so glad you all like this thread!

Welcome Betsy and Megan! I love your honesty in admitting you've used a toddler and family death as a crutch/excuse. I did the same thing with 80-hour work weeks, then toddlers, then the loss of my mom, then company down-sizing, then leading Girl Scouts. It's always so much easier to blame the other things out of our…

I love that everyone is having an awesome day! @Newbie2134, if I lived in the tundra, I'd struggle getting my *kitten* outside and to the gym, too! I had a fantastic swim tonight! Lowered my base time by :05 in just 2-3 weeks. It helps when there's less of me to drag behind me in the water. Scale hasn't budged for me this…

Oh, and I'm totally going to brag because the first goal I made when I got back into logging in MFP was to do it for 30 days, then 60, then 100. The little changes I've done have just been to set little stupid, habit goals like that every 2 weeks or so. Well, check this out, in 10 minutes, I will have logged in 75 days in…

Welcome Cyndi and Shannan! You are going to fit right in with this crowd. @Shannan8 Your target goal date is not unlike mine! Mine is when the kids start school in the fall, 8/22. Giving yourself that kind of time is realistic. Like @White_hibiscus it can be a hassle to stay motivated that long! This board should help!…

All-Sorry!!! I've been a busy, busy bee! I'll start the Feb board in just a second! Yes, I've been doing my healthy habits! I just haven't posted the last 3 days!

Are you up for me starting this challenge again on Monday with a new thread? @kwagesj want to join us?

I love this group! I weighed in for the Biggest Loser challenge today. Scales crack me up. My scale is exactly on with my primary care physician and my OB/GYN. Theirs always weighs me 2 pounds heavier than I am. Given I weigh with clothes at the doctor, I consider my scale consistent and accurate. My neurologist on the…

Date: 1/26 Vitamin: Yes Water (8+): 6 Exercise calories burned: 540 Stayed under calorie goal: No! I gave into my sugar craving. I'd been wanting a donut for days.

I'm aware. They are correct. However, with my activity and a med I take, I need more like 9-12 glasses. I have learned to ignore thirst until I get tired. Diet Coke cannot/should not be where I get half my fluid, and it is. Please no one send me those articles. I've read them and the info graphics. I'm aware of what I'm…

@newbie2143 I bet those meals out could have been worse! It's hard to plan with visitors. It ends up being 2nd Christmas type calories when my in-laws are here annually. Sometimes I'm good, but I snack a lot when they are here. You had a great run!

Date: 1/16 Vitamin: Yes Water (8+): 4 :-( I'll pay for that today! Exercise calories burned: Rest day, but I logged loading and unloading cases of Girl Scout cookies.

@newbie2143 Yea! A fellow swimmer! I have a goal to swim in a meet in April. I haven't done one in 3 years. I spend most of my weekends at my kids' sporting events and haven't made time for mine. Having an athletic goal will really keep me in the gym and pool though!
