Op here. Thanks for continuing this! I got Covid a few weeks ago and I fell off the going to the gym wagon that I had started. I will re-embark on this journey this weekend.

I was doing great on WW and I had two "bad days" this week and I'm already feeling defeated, like I can't maintain that amount of counting/measuring/tracking, but it's the only plan I've been on in my life that allows me to eat (ie zero point foods if I'm hungry) and still lose weight. I've tried very low carb (whole 30 and also keto) and it doesn't work for me.

I'm relating to the poster in the other thread who asked if dieting is always miserable. It wasn't for a few weeks, but I'm hitting a wall already

Making sure I have all my doctor's appointments made for the year. Colonoscopy in the fall, 2 dentist appts, annual dermatologist and eye exams. If I make them all in January, then I can get schedule them when most convenient.

I also try to reduce sugar and greasy food in my diet. Also, I try to pay more attention to my hobby, ping pong. I even purchased a new table Killerspin https://pingpongacademy.org/best-ping-pong-tables/ to motivate myself.

Work out 6 days a week - 3 four mile runs outside, 3 gym days with weights and stair climbing
Maintenance/deficit through 1500 cal/day low carb
30g protein for each of 3 meals, tons of veggies
Continue to manage stress to reduce impact
8 hours of sleep
Pickleball, golf, biking for additional exercise outside - does not replace weekly routine

Lost 30 lbs last year…continue to build strength and lose 5-10 lbs

THIS is the best plan

Losing 25 lbs somehow. I have a bad foot and rarely eat junk, so not sure how I will do it.

Do you have a plan for the migraines? I've gotten rid of headaches with the approach of Dr. John Sarno. Dr Mark Hyman has a lot of podcasts on it as well.

Good luck

I started the year with dryuary, 45 minute hiit/strength x 5 times a week, 10,000 steps a day, 9:30/10pm - 6am sleep schedule, high protein/low carb diet. I have kept to it with a couple of meal challenges. I did a lot of this before, but not consistently enough. I am focused on the first 3 months of 2023. Fingers crossed.

I have the goal of losing 7 lbs (just cause) and doing more 24 fasting days. It helps with my neck stenosis that I have... thanks Lyme disease.

Eat lots more protein, cut down on carbs a lot. Cut down on alcohol by 75%.

Daily yoga. It doesn’t matter how long, as long as I do it. Probably in Feb I’ll up that to make it more challenging (currently I’m using yoga with Adrienne). I walk at least 10,000 steps a day during the work week.

I this morning added some body weight exercises that I had been doing in the past … one set of push-ups, squats, lunges, tricep dips, and planks. I had been doing 3 sets, but I’m not there again yet!

I want to make sure I’m moving, strong, and flexible.

Dry January to cut back alcohol/wine

Getting labs done to ensure everything is fine medically

This was me. Just checking in-

I have been to the gym more, and cut all alcohol. I think I'll continue on the no alcohol trend for most of the winter. When I do drink again it won't be a daily habit. Yikes.

I got my labs done, and though I haven't discussed with my doctor yet (have an appointment next month) I know I have high LDL and boardlerine high glucose and A1C. I'm hoping to turn those around for the remainder of the year.
