Way to go @azkunk !!! So happy for you! Bringing your own food will help a lot, especially if you do not need to go near the cafeteria. Keep it up, you’re doing great!!

You got this!! Finish January strong!! ❤️

My goal for February is to lower my carb intake and up the protein - i love that I got on here and see the talk about how we need to eat a diet high in protein. Besides nuts, what are your go to high protein/low carb snacks?

@DaniMerc72 and @suzyjmcd2 thank you so much! I am going to look into both your suggestions this weekend. I will get to walk this weekend, then I’ll be ready Monday for an early morning workout!!

@Grammytryingtogetfit and @mom23mangos thank you for your suggestions! I’ve never heard of a WaterRower - I’ll look into it! I get up 30 minutes before my kids every morning and just sit with a cup of coffee and watch the news and catch up on Facebook. I know that is 30 minutes I should be exercising!! No excuses - I need…

Hi! I have been doing well tracking and counting calories, but I need to get back into an exercise routine. I had to quit the gym for now and am at a loss as to what to do at home. What works well for you? I have no room for equipment like a treadmill or elliptical.

I want to brag on myself for just a moment. I am so proud of myself and know you ladies would understand. :-) I just finished a stressful, super busy weekend. My daughter was in the Nutcracker (her studio always does it in January) Friday and Saturday. My inlaws were visiting and the amount of junk food they bring into our…

I would participate! I like only doing one thing a week, though, too. I’ve already given up wine. 😂 I plan on adding a new challenge to myself every 3 or 4 weeks, once I get the last goal incorporated as a “habit”. I’ve always pushed myself too hard in the beginning, I think. I’m hoping my new approach will help me…

Oh my! I am so glad you didn’t crash! That had to be quite a fright! Hopefully today will bring you peace and calm.

I am hoping to do the same thing! Sleds and snow gear are ready to go!

No big plans for me this weekend. My son has a basketball game this afternoon, then the snow is supposed to start rolling in this evening -hoping we get the 6 -8” they are predicting, because I plan on gearing up and sledding in the neighborhood with my kids tomorrow!!

It is hard! 3 kids all with after school activities - and Saturday and Sunday!! Scheduling time for myself has not been a priority.

I am right there with you! I am sadly accepting that the days of mindless snacking and drinking has got to come to an end and disciplined eating needs to be in control!

Great job!!

I have been been af since January, and have only had a few times when I wanted a glass of wine and didn’t have one. But... I am worried about this weekend, too! I live in Virginia, and snow is coming! I’m going to have to take it day by day for drinking AND snacking.

I’m always open to new friends who will motivate and encourage! And I will do the same for you!

That is a struggle for me as well. Last year a friend motivated me to go to the gym with her at 5:00 am every weekday. It was nice, but I was in bed asleep many nights by 8:00 (my kids would tuck me in! Lol!). Then my oldest started high school this September and I couldn’t get home to make sure she got up (there have only…

I live in Virginia now, but am from Elyria. @funjen1972 - which northern OH city do you live in?

@winodini - lol! I love it! I joined the AF January challenge as well! We got this!

Hi @saranghaesunbae ! I added you! Click on a members name, then click on it again and then on the add friend icon. 😊

I lost 50 pounds about 10 years ago, but all the wrong way. My diet prescribed me diet pills, so I basically starved myself skinny. As soon as I stopped taking the pills the weight came right back on and I have been yoyoing ever since. I’ve finally decided I need to make some life changes, so I can use all the help and…

I have lost a few pounds too!! My “official” weigh in day is Tuesday, but I got on the scale this morning. 😏. It was a great motivator and help to just say no last night. I hope your dinner with the relatives went well last night!

Made it through my first weekend af! Last night was tough - I ended up just going to bed early. It worked, though - I got 10 hours of sleep last night!!

I’d like to join! Original starting weight 211.1 January starting weight 211.1 January Goal 199 Ultimate Goal 140 January 1 - 211.1 Jan 8 - Jan 15 - Jan 22 - Jan 29 - Jan 31 -

Happy Saturday to you!! I’ve got a busy day today - going to need to really exert some willpower when we celebrate my sons birthday at the bowling alley this afternoon. Fortunately, I won’t be tempted to eat birthday cake since I am gluten intolerant. 😂👍🏻.

I need to lose about 75, focusing on 25 at a time. For some reason the smaller number seems like it will be easier. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

I sent you a friend request!!
