QOTD for Friday, January 29, 2016
View attachment 148083
It's here guys. It's finally. Here. It's the final weigh-in weekend of our January 2016 challenge! Can you believe it!?
Post your progress here this weekend and I will get the final list made on Monday!!
QOTD - what is one thing that really worked for you and helped you lose weight this month (even if you didn't hit your goal)? What is one thing that didn't?
Really making an effort to use the new SmartPoints system (I will admit I didn't fully embrace it until this month, despite being told by the powers that be at WW that I needed to start using it back in November!) and making a real EFFORT to be an example for a loved one as they started the new SP system as well! What great things I can do FOR MYSELF when I try to be a good example to others! Stayed fully ON TRACK and ON PLAN most weekends, so I didn't feel like I was spending my weeks just trying to make up for poor weekend choices!
Didn't work.... exercise. ZERO motivation.
FINAL WEIGH IN:
LOSS: 1 Pound. Back down to 149.
Percentage toward goal: 100%
I shifted course mid-stream so I'm basically back to where I was in the beginning of the month.
Side note: I'm going to work on starting the February Weight-Loss Challenge Thread today!
WOOHOO on achieving 100%....... that's great because sometimes MAINTENANCE can be harder than weight loss!
@courtneybeth WELLLLLLL my plan was 12/17 Till Jan 1, as you see my ticker says it's my Dad's first trip back since he took me as a 1 yr old in 1971 at likely at the Pop for the first part and that as far as I've gotten because the Hubs and I are trying to purchase a new Mobile Home in our park and if that goes thru we'll have both a Mortgage (which we don't currently have) and lot rent to pay so that will put the trip on hold (hopefully only a year).. My Parents are hoping we get the house as are we.. I just turned in the $$ for the credit reports to be pulled and actual application today to the credit union .. Here's hoping.. Truthfully if I had to forgo a trip to Disney for a few years to get this beautiful brand new 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath double wide I would in one second! (our current home is a 2 bedroom 1 bath single wide made in 1972!)

Ok so I am going to use my Wed Dr WI which was down another 1.3 making me at 5.2 lost this month for a total of
130% .. Going back to WW and journaling is the key for me.. also giving myself a daily water goal I think was helpful as well..
Hope everyone has a great weekend and WI .. See you all Monday!! Michelle
Hey friend! BEST of luck getting that new home! I know you've wanted something like this for a long time! Fingers crossed for you.... and Disney will still be there when you are ready to go!

Hi all! So my "quick trip" to the market for produce and dairy turned out to be 3 hours (it takes about 35 minutes each way anyhow) and ....... $316! YIKES! Honestly, it didn't feel like I bought much either.... but I did buy about $60 in meat and $30 in dairy and lots and LOTS of produce.... peppers, onions, carrots, apples, clementines, bananas, pears, sweet potatoes, lemons, baby spinach, celery, broccoli........plus some pantry staples we've been out of like dried beans, lentils, popcorn, nuts, low carb tortillas, and PAM. Also bought some groceries to bring to DD.
Hoping that this lasts two weeks, at least. Some of the peppers and onions were from the marked down produce rack, so those will get diced up and roasted today and then tossed into the freezer for another day..... should be great on a pizza or in a wrap with some goat cheese!
Off to get those things into the oven! BBL to chat......................P
