I am 5'7" and over the past three years have packed on about 35 lbs.  Trying to use fitbit as a tool to help get me back to the days I looked forward to going for a run or working out.  Thanks for setting up this challenge - should be fun and motivating.

[Cele21]

Welcome everyone! Nice to see so many new faces. Please tell us a bit about yourself and your journey if you feel comfortable doing so.

@emili - thanks for the link. I have always felt better weighing weekly, daily weigh-ins got in my head too much.

[MrsCaptainR]

I wanted to edit my post and couldn't find a way how to, because I didn't put my USW which was 225.  Now at 208.  Hopefully 198 by the end of this challenge, and 175 eventually!

I am "shedding for the wedding".  Not mine, but my daughters. The mother of the bride should feel GREAT that day, not hideous.  I had just reached that point where someone pointing a camera at me brought great anxiety.  So, I have been working on changing that.

I also just retired (yay me) and now I get to exercise daily, and plan and cook healthy meals, hence I am off to a great start with 17 lbs down already.  Journalling and tracking is the answer for me.  I am travelling for 5 weeks in February-April, including a 16 day cruise, so that will be a challenge, with alcohol alone!  But, if I bear in mind I cannot drink Pinot Grigio like water, I should hopefully stay on track.

Thanks for the community to join!

I am 5'4" and over the past ten years have packed on about 50 lbs after starting an antidepressant for SAD.  I am 48 years old which makes it even more challenging to lose weight. I have a 30 year high school reunion and my husband's Navy reunion to attend this summer, so those are 2 of my motivators.

Last weigh in was exagerated as it was the weekend of a late Christmas party. Today's weight is much more realistic and it gives me a boost as the first loss of the year - starting out in the right direction!

I pretty much dipped out of the last challenge and have been away so when I weighed myself this morning it was sad. But hey.....I had a great Christmas Break and ready to get back into moving!

[Tybokitty]

Been away from this for a year but time to get back to it.  Daughter wedding in September and want to drop 35lbs.  Plus know the doctor isn't going to like it when she sees I haven't lost much. Plus gonna end up diabetic as I am already pre-diabetic.

Just gotta get into that right frame of mind and my backside out of the chair in the evening and stepping or walking around the apartment while tv is on. Leslie Sansom Happy Mile Walk, here I come.
