Happy New Year to everyone!

I just wanted to wish everyone here a happy new year and I hope everyone achieves their goals and meets the upcoming year with a happy healthy body and overall outlook! Everyone deserves success for the hard work put into their bodies. Thank you for all the support you've given me and for helping others by answering their questions and concerns.

What do you look forward to this year, any resolutions or new goals you've set out for yourselves (after all we've all had the lose weight one)?

On to the new year and all that it brings - face it, embrace it and live it!

Looking forward to joining the ranks of the awesome, inspiring "losers" around here! 😂

Happy new year! My goal this year is not so much focused on "losing weight" as it has been in previous years. I don't really have a number of pounds I want/need to lose thanks to surgery. Instead, I would like to:

1. Improve my nutrition by relying less on processed foods and incorporating more veggies and Beans. I also want to be more consistent with meal planning and prep to reduce my stress around food.

2. Improve my total daily step average. Fitbit tells me I averaged 5622 steps per day last year, so I'd like to see that number go up. In reality, that was several months of either not exercising (pre-surgery) or not wearing my tracker, coupled with several months of 10k steps per day. So if I can just keep to going for walks most days, that should be an easy improvement.

3. Clean my office! I work from home and would like it not to feel so chaotic.

All great resolutions! Isn't it refreshing not to have a resolution to "go on a diet"!?
