Woot! Happy 2013!
Dogpaws4ever (love that), congratulations on your new journey and the start of a new way of life! It is so nice to meet you!
Marie, I just experiment with intermittent fasting, don't really do it as I should, but it helps me on all levels when I use it as a tool.
Glad your hip held out and was not bothered by the skiing. Good challenge to not skip a day doing LoseIt! Woot!
Tera ...
An-spice, also hope you join us.
And also as Marie said hoping all 50+ 3FC-ers join us. It is a fun, easygoing thread.
Well, I blogged and posted these results pretty much everywhere lol as I am very pleased that I lost 16.2 pounds this year since my mid-January baseline weigh-in, which was kind of private at the beginning and then I kept tweaking the goals and doing different time frames, etc., but I'm still going for a mid-range of 125 & then deciding if I want to go lower.
I am always tweaking. In the past I have been influenced by others regarding the topic of food, weight management, fitness, etc., now I know I am my own guru. I know who I am and what I am doing. I know I will reach the 120s and make all the right decisions (well, for the most part) for myself this year in this regard.
My ideal of 125 is still subject to change. It is higher than my low point of 117 in 2010, which represents the tale end of a major weight loss and I've told this story on 3FC many times so won't repeat the tale of the major weight loss, which took place over almost two decades.
SO, friends, when I hit 150 again one year ago, which is a good weight but up from the direction I was traveling, I started the downward trek again and feel I had a good run.
I DID want to get into the 120s by the end of the year but life goes on and I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY with where I am right now. I did gain a pound from last official weigh-in on December 23, 2012.
My challenge is to eat no red velvet cake until December 21 and continue doing what I am doing to get into the 120s and stay there ... possibly below but I doubt it. I am rather small boned so at 117 I liked where I was but it was hard to maintain (obviously lol).
Woot!
