Dynamic December
I am jumping on board with many of my fellow bloggers and coming up with some goals for December (just a week late 
).
But, now I am looking forward to a #DynamicDecember (I like alliteration so sue me 
).
—
So here are the three challenges/hashtags you will see me using in the upcoming month:
1) #hlgDec2Rem - This challenge was designed by Jan (@HealthyLoserGal) and one of my favorite people in the world. 
For this challenge, I am really working on getting #back2basics, sticking with tracking (#trackstar) and getting in my Good Health Guidelines. I’m not going to beat myself up if I miss a day (since I did miss 3 of the 8 days in December), but I’ll just try to do my best!
Jan is one of the best motivators, and people, around!!
2) #plankaday - This has been life changing for me. I am not one for crunches, especially with that back injury back in early 2011, so this is a great way to get some core work in without sitting and doing a bunch of crunches – I don’t want to do – on the floor.
This program was started by Dr. Sherry Pagoto (@drsherrypagoto) and is open to interpretation. For me, I work on doing at least two planks a day and keeping the variety up! Front forearm plank, front straightarm plank, reverse plank, side forearm plank or side straightarm plank.
I started with a 30 second front forearm plank back in August 2011 and hit my PR of 5 minutes & 15 seconds in November 2012. Anything is possible…
I am going to continue to do my #plankaday every day. I am enjoying the versatility and loving the #plankaday community.
3) #100ozchallenge - This is actually the first challenge that I started on my own! I have had at times upwards of 50 people participating. Woo! I feel wicked cool. Okay, that wasn’t cool. Dammit!
Anyway, this is a pretty simple challenge: drink at least 100oz water a day. That’s it. Keep yourself hydrated during the winter months. I just saw on twitter today that “Dehydration can cause ageing & can slow down metabolism as much as 3%” – I am here to not let that happen! Stay hydrated!!
—
I set these goals for myself because this is the person I want to be. The person I want to strive to be. The person I will work to be … one day at a time.
And because of you – my family, friends, Facebook crew and twitterverse – that will hold me accountable, will support me and will keep me going.
The hashtags help to build a community. It opens the doors to new relationships, tips and most importantly more support.
So for me, this is what I will be striving for in December.
What will you be doing for you?

Dear Social Media…
Dear Social Media,
I don’t know how to say this so I thought I would write you a quick note. I’ve been trying to gather my feelings for you, but didn’t quite know how to really approach you on the subject. So I figured I might as well just put myself out there.
So here goes nothing.
Social Media … I Love You.
Okay, there I said it!
I 100% with my whole heart love you and all that you offer:
I love OkCupid.com.
I love WordPress.
I love Twitter.
I love Facebook.
I love Tumblr.
I love Pinterest.
I love Instagram.
I like Google+.
I even have a small place in my heart that still likes MySpace. (not sure why, but it does)
So this isn’t getting awkward is it?
Good.
I want to simply Thank You for all you have done for me through all of these avenues.
You want examples? Sure, I have plenty.
**OkCupid.com gave me my wife for who I would be lost without!
**WordPress.com, you have bestowed on me a tiny piece of the internet here at Weight Off My Shoulders where I can share my inner thoughts with anyone that wants to read them. Even if no one wants to read them, you allow me the chance to bare my soul and release the negative in a new and more therapeutic way!
**Oh Twitter, where do I begin. I thank you for the endless 24/7 support I have found…
-For opening my world to such awesome groups as #runchat (@therunchat), #Fitfluential (@FitFluential), #SweatPink (@fitapproach), #GirlsGoneSporty (@GirlsGoneSporty), #wwchat/#weightwatchers (@WeightWatchers) and #Fitbloggin (@Fitbloggin).
-For helping me share my life, my ups, my downs, my accomplishments and my faults with people who accept me no matter what and are always there to offer advice, a shoulder to cry on or a new perspective for the situation.
-For connecting me to other Weight Watchers members and Leaders all over the state, the country and the world overall. It is great to share recipes, success stories, scale and non-scale victories and struggles with people reaching for the same goal you are.
-For numerous motivating challenges, especially Brad Gansberg‘s #7daychip and Dr. Sherry Pagoto‘s #PlankADay, and allowing me to even start my own: #100ozChallenge.
-And finally, for motivating me to get out of my comfort zone by sharing wicked personal stories, for reminding me that I am worthy of what my life is giving me and that I can put myself out there and survive.
**Dear Facebook, you have taken hours of my day away and I thank you for that. Love, Dani But really, Facebook allows me to share my blog to another group of people who I might not be on Twitter. Also, I know now that if I don’t post my workout on the blog’s Facebook page, it didn’t happen … right?
**While I still don’t know how to totally use you Tumblr, you provide me endless laughs with such things as Dog Shaming and Texts From Dog.
**Pinterest – oh Pinterest – you make me want to eat everything in sight, work out 24/7 and snuggle a bunch of adorable animals all at once. No one has done that to be before.
**Instagram – you allow me to know EXACTLY what my friends are eating at any point in the day. Now I know whose house to go to because I can preview what they would cook me Also, you inspire me to try new workouts, but new work out clothes and attempt all different types of planks! Additionally, you have helped ME perfect the art of the self-portrait either using my phone or the bathroom mirror. I will never look at the bathroom mirror the same way again. Oh and thanks for offering so many glorious filters to choose from – I shall never look pale again!
**I got nothin’, but love for ya MySpace… you still exist right?
So there it is Social Media, you truly reach every aspect of my life like no one else has before so in one word: Thanks!
Love,
Dani
PS What site will you come up with next for me to get addicted to?

#100ozchallenge
So I started the #100ozchallenge on Twitter early in 2012, but I never formally introduced it so I thought I would now.
Better late than never, right?
So I gave up Diet Coke on December 7, 2010 … and have remained soda friend to date! WOO!
But, I needed something else to drink to replace the many many cans of Diet Coke I was consuming a day …
Enter WATER!
I know. I am ahead of the curve on joining the “drinking water” and “staying hydrated” craze.
Well, I noticed that I am better at creating a new habit when I have a challenge or community to turn to.
Then #100ozchallenge was born.
So the goal is quite simple: to drink at least 100oz of water a day.
Seems pretty basic.
The #100ozchallenge hashtag is a great way to find motivation from others and a sense of community.
But, if you feel that 100oz is too much water for you in a day – that is fine. Shoot for your own goal, but still use the hashtag to keep us up to speed on how you are doing.
So I ask, are you in for the #100ozchallenge?

April FLOUNDERS Bring May MOTIVATION
I think we all figured out that my April was NOT up to par. I would be on plan for like 3 or 4 days then go off the wagon – so to speak – for three or four days. There was no rhyme or reason to what I was doing. I let my will power take a vacation to some warm tropical location, while I ran around like someone who has their issues with food under control.
THANKFULLY you all kept me more on track than I would’ve been. I thank you for being there while I fought to get back on track … and failed.
Overall in April, I had a BLAST. Lots of time with good friends, good beers and good food … but, I ended up gaining just under 2 lbs.
NOT what I had planned.
But, this is the time to buckle down and figure out how to be on plan, while being social.
I am using the month of May as a time to get “BACK TO ME” – time to focus on my needs, my health and for now, the number on the scale.
I seem to work better when having a goal or challenge in mind – I think back to how I kicked BUTT in December because of my Dynamic December challenge.
–
So here is what I am looking to accomplish during #MarvelousMay:
1) #plankaday - This has been life changing for me. I am not one for crunches, especially with my back injury, so this is a great way to get some core work in without sitting and doing a bunch of crunches – I don’t want to do – on the floor.
This program was started by Dr. Sherry Pagoto (@drsherrypagoto) and is open to interpretation. For me, I started with doing a 60 second forearm plank every day for a week. The next week I upped it by 5 seconds and did 65 second forearms planks every day for a week. I did 5 second increments until I could hold a forearm plank for 4 minutes – yes! I can hold a plank for 4 minutes. Ahhh, I never thought that was possible.
Once, I hit that goal I switched up my planks. Last week, I did one 2 minute forearm plank and a 1 minute side plank on both sides every day. I like to keep my core guessing each day what I will do.
I am going to continue to do my #plankaday every day. I am enjoying the versatility and loving the #plankaday community.
2) #back2basics - I think this is a great challenge and timely for me as I am trying to get back into the swing after flip flopping back and forth in April. I also like this challenge (started by Colleen - @tryn2bfit) because it again leaves the choice of what you focus on up to the individual. I think that is a great way to keep people’s attention and driven when they are working on something extremely personal.
For me, I will be focusing on hitting all 6 of the Weight Watchers Healthy Guidelines. Every day of the month I will be sure to have my required amounts of liquids (water), fruits/veggies, vitamins, dairy, healthy oils & exercise. I am pumped.
3) #30daychip - I owe a lot of success to the man that created the #7daychip/#30daychip program: Brad Gansberg (@bradgansberg). He has been a great motivator and has gotten me back on track more times than I can count.
This is yet another great challenge that you set for yourself. I have done a few different #7daychip topics, which you can see here.
The basic premise is to do something healthy for seven consecutive days … or if you are feeling like you want a real challenge you can go for 30 or 100 days.
For this, #30daychip (which would be my second) I am looking to track my food every day. That means: log it into Weight Watchers eTools, write it up as a food log post on my blog and Facebook/Tweet it out.
4) #100ozchallenge – This is actually the first challenge that I started on my own! I have had at times upwards of 50 people participating. Woo! I feel wicked cool. Okay, that wasn’t cool. Dammit!
Anyway, this is a pretty simple challenge: drink at least 100oz water a day. That’s it. Keep yourself hydrated during the winter months. I just saw on twitter today that “Dehydration can cause ageing & can slow down metabolism as much as 3%” – I am here to not let that happen! Stay hydrated!!
–
So today is Day One, I am refocusing and getting back to my Number One Priority: ME!
What will you be doing to make May the best month of 2012 thus far and rock your own #MarvelousMe challenge?

Truth Tuesday – 0.4 lb Loss
Hello All! Well after a two week hiatus from the scale I am back and going to remain coming back each week. I have realized I am not the type of person that can handle once a month weigh-ins. Have we figured out I am slightly OCD and very “right brained”? Anywho…
I got back to business this week after slacking the week before after hitting Lifetime. I had a bit of a good old food meltdown on Thursday, which kicked my smaller booty into gear! So Thursday through Monday I was ON, I mean each day I: hit all 6 of my Weight Watchers Healthy Guidelines, worked out min 30 min, hit my DPT of 26, hit 100oz of water, did my #plankaday and tracked/blogged/Tweeted/Facebook my Food Log. And can I tell you all something? I felt amazing! I felt like I had just started WW all over again. That fun feeling in the beginning where you are all bright eyed and bushy tailed and eager. I felt satisfied, accomplished and just overall in control. Now I know I am not keeping this up forever since we know I love those 49 weekly points, I mean 49 wine points, too much not to use them. But it was a little check I needed to do.
(Note: The best part of this week was that I didn’t beat myself up over what happened on Thursday. I woke up the next morning and instead of beating myself up, I came up with a game plan of how to get myself back on track and stuck to it. The old me would’ve called myself every name under the sun and said if I messed up this day why not just say “To Hell” with the rest of the week. New me? NOPE! I said it is a NEW DAY and I moved on. I give myself a *Bravo* for that!)
And boy did it help! I lost 0.4 lbs (which doesn’t seem like a lot to some people), but I am in the maintenance time of my life so that little loss was what I needed to be back to my goal weight exactly. When I hit Lifetime I was 0.4 lbs above it. I mean that is nothing, plus for WW standards I just need to remain within 153-157 lbs.
For my psyche, it just ended a streak of three-consecutive gains, which I don’t think I had ever experienced before.
—
Today: Loss 0.4
Starting Weight: 217.4
Today’s Weight: 155.0
Total Lost: 62.4

The implosion on Thursday was exactly what I needed to snap my slacker self back to reality. I was slowly slipping back to old habits that had brought me to Weight Watchers in the first place and I didn’t like it.
So now I am happy to be back on the upswing, each week, each day, each meal will not be perfect, but I will work to be the best I can be.
I have found a WW meeting of my own to attend (Tuesday 10am in Malden) and could not be happier. It is so nice to take your WW receptionist hat off for an hour and get back to why you joined in the first place – to be a member and to feel involved in the meeting.
I cannot put in to words how much happier I am now that I have my own meeting to attend and I am falling back into a nice pattern. My Tuesday has now become my favorite day of the week … and also my “Super WW” day. How you may ask? Well, here is the rundown:
6am Spinning with my girl Jess – aka Last Chance Workout
7am Weigh-in on Home Scale
8am Weigh-in officially at WW Boston Store with Alverson
8:15am Grab my much needed Dunkin Iced Coffee
10am Attend my now weekly WW meeting with Heather
Noon-3:45 Me time – blog/run errands/chill with the pups/unwind
4pm Head to work
5-8pm Work the 6pm WW meeting and open hours
How about that for a powerful/motivating/positive day?
—
After chatting/emailing with my Territory Manager (Elaine) today and sitting with my WW coach (who will help me with the training to be a Leader), I just know I made the right decision this year. I feel so happy to call Weight Watchers my home. Helping, teaching, listening, cheering, consoling and motivating people in such an important and personal journey is an honor to me!
I thank you all for helping me see that! You have all given me the strength to make the Leap with your support and encouragement…

#7daychip – Number Nine
I like that I am now collecting #7daychips the way I collect race medals
For this chip, I made the following commitment:
1) To hit the 5 Weight Watchers Food Healthy Guidelines each day
2) To complete at least one plank per day (#plankaday)
3) To drink at least 100oz of water per day (#100ozchallenge)
4) To write down/track everything I ate each day – even if I didn’t figure out the PP value, I at least had to fess up to what I ate my writing it down, blogging it & Facebook/Tweeting it.

Truth Tuesday – LIFETIME
After I weighed in last week, all I could think about was hitting Lifetime today. I knew I had to be focused and stay on plan. I did that … until Friday. Friday night I had plans to go out with friends and did my prep work. I looked at the restaurant’s menu (Wagamama) and did the best I could to decipher the points since they don’t have their nutrition facts on the site. I picked a good sesame chicken salad and some edamame. I figured it would be filling and yummy. I felt confident when I left the house on Friday and then…
… the entire plan went out the window!
The wife and I got to the restaurant early so we had a couple beers then I checked in to the bar on Foursquare and they offered us a half-priced appetizer. Yup! I fell for it hook line and sinker! So we split an app … then since I had a couple beers what were a few more. Needless to say that night was not one of my finest eating moments.
Not sure this happens to other people, but once I have a bad night - the whole next day turns in to a disaster.
So Friday and Saturday were horrible. All I kept thinking was I was putting myself in the wrong direction from Lifetime. So Sunday morning I got back on track and hit the gym for an awesome Spin class with Linds and Jen. Sunday night I still went a tad over points because my wife brought this garlic ciabatta bread in to the house to have with our spaghetti squash. But, overall I called Sunday a win in my book since I worked out and got all my healthy checks in.
Monday was right on point – I worked out, hit all WW Healthy Guidelines and stuck to 26 pts.
So that brings us to this morning. I got on the scale before heading to Spin and did NOT like what I saw. I saw a number that would put me out of reach of Lifetime. I made sure to give 150% during Spin and thankfully my friend Jess (the instructor) delivered with an awesome class. I got home and did my usual home weigh-in before the actual WW weigh-in. Well I saw a better number after Spin, but still not one that I liked.
But, you all know when I weigh in so there was no way I could skip out. I just had to face the music. My wife came with me for moral support and to act as photog if I hit Lifetime. I stepped on the scale and … I took a deep breathe and prayed to see a number between 153-157 …
I gained 0.6 lbs. That’s it. Phew! That put me at 155.4 lbs – just 0.4 lbs over my goal weight – and in perfect position for LIFETIME!!
—
Today: Gain 0.6
Starting Weight: 217.4
Today’s Weight: 155.4
Total Lost: 62.0

OMG! OMG! I did it. I honest and truly made it to the moment I dreamed about on November 2, 2009. The moment I thought would never be in my realm of possibility on that first night of Weight Watchers. But, you know what? I did do it. I stuck with it.
I MADE IT HAPPEN!
I love this smile and am happy it hasn’t left my face yet today…
I told my Territory Manager Elaine that I wanted to create my own “Biggest Loser Finale” type moment when I hit Lifetime status. Thankfully she approved and that is how the above happened. I am wicked happy that I decided to go this route and bring my own confetti to the weigh-in.
Lifetime means more to me than hitting Goal. I proved to myself that I could maintain a weight within my goal weight for six weeks – even with a 1,000 mile move, career change and basically a complete change in my life.

This morning really made me think back to this journey and how I don’t even recognize the person I was when I first stepped in to my Weight Watchers meeting on November 2, 2009. I was a sad – lonely – unhappy – and scared person. I was able to put on quite a front to the outside world, but inside was a whole different person.
But now? Now I see the good. I see the happiness in life. I am proud of the person I have become. I am happy with the person I am now. I have shown myself – and others – that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I am stronger than I thought I was. I am a fighter. I am a success story.
Motivation
—
Today, I am living in the moment and enjoying all of my accomplishments. But, what will come tomorrow? Tomorrow I will continue to keep my eye on the new prize … maintaining! Now that I have reached this milestone, I vow not to return to old habits. For me, this time – the weight loss will stick. There is no going back.
Thankfully, I have one incredible support system – in person, through social media and within my new Weight Watchers work family – that will continue to motivate and push me towards success.
I may falter. I may fall off the healthy lifestyle/Weight Watchers wagon at times … but thankfully every one of you will be there to pick me back up and put me back on track. And for that, I thank you all. You have all touched my journey in a positive light and for that I am eternally grateful.
I am reminding myself today – and every day – that I am human. I am not perfect. But, picking myself up and never looking back, will allow me to keep succeeding.
—
So today, I relish in my accomplishment. I will allow myself to flood in the compliments and love being thrown at me from all directions. I am bottling it all up to keep with me on the dark days. I am saying to myself…

My Journey Is My Journey
I am 100% proud of what I have accomplished thus far in my weight loss journey. I thank Weight Watchers for giving me the kick in the butt I really needed. Okay I guess I need to thank my friends for taking that dreadful picture of me on Halloween 2009 that gave me the kick in the butt I needed to make a change.
I could never have imagined I would have achieved as much success as I have in the last two-plus years. I have reached my weight goal, lost 63 lbs, rekindled my love of running, found a love in Spinning, tried foods I would’ve never thought to try, liked foods I have never thought I would like, shared my story with the world through social media, started this blog (or my little slice of the web), been featured in a magazine, started to really like the person I am and yet …
I have always thought I could do – or be – more.
How could I not compare myself to the others around me?
Well I may have lost 63 lbs with Weight Watchers, but what about the man that lost over 300 lbs. He should be working and representing Weight Watchers over me. I haven’t had as much success as him – or have I?
Why did TimeOut Chicago want to share my story when the guy on the cover lost over 200 lbs and is a Vegan. Over 200 lbs, amazing? Giving up steak? Commendable. What did I do? I lost jsut over 60 lbs and didn’t give up a single food I liked. Heck yeah I still drink beer and eat french fries.
Who am I to be writing a blog? What information do I have to impart on the world? Do people really want to read what is going through my mind on any given day? Why choose my blog when there are such better writers out there.
Why must I always compare my life – my journey – my accomplishments to those around me? Why? Because that is what society does. It seems as if it is second nature in this day and age to immediately compare what you have done to someone else.
—
This topic is something I think about often, but was brought back to the forefront when a woman came in to Weight Watchers to weigh-in and lost 1.5 lbs. A-freakin-mazing. But she was upset. Why? The woman before her lost 5 lbs that week and she wished she had lost that much. But the truth? She didn’t need to lose 5 lbs that week. She was much closer to her goal and didn’t have as much to lose. It was just the fact that she wanted that big of a loss.
I turned to her and said – each person’s journey is their own.
We need to remember this … I need to remember this.
—
Everyone is unique. Every person is on their own journey in life. We need to stop looking to others to judge our accomplishments and to celebrate what we do. Every. Single. Thing.
Okay, I need to stop looking to others to rate whether my accomplishment is really all that great.
I should really be proud of the weight that I have lost. Hey 63 lbs is nothing to scoff at. Do I wish I could say I lost 100 lbs? Sure. But, I never had 100 lbs to lose. So it isn’t an attainable, realistic goal in my life.
I have improved my 5k time from 38:21 to 25:27. What a difference, right? I have cut 13 minutes off my 5k time in a seven year span. But, would I like to run a 5k in 21 minutes? Of course, but that may not be something in my DNA. It may not be in my grasps.
I am 100% a perfect person to work for Weight Watchers. I love to share my journey (as we can see) with others and want to listen/help/aid/cheer and just be part of others who are doing the same thing. It doesn’t matter if you need to lose 5 lbs or 100 lbs. I am the person is taking the steps to be part of a healthy lifestyle – that is the real journey!
I need to try to top myself and stop trying to top someone else’s accomplishments.
—
I am making a pact today to continue to celebrate my journey … but to STOP saying they aren’t enough. That I cannot share what I have accomplished because it isn’t as great as someone else’s best.
I will be happy with the best I do … but where to start?
My next big milestone is hitting Lifetime with Weight Watchers. I am hoping it will happen on February 21st. If it does, I am vowing to shout it from the rooftops. But to start, I will throw some confetti in the air and give myself as much as a Biggest Loser Finale moment as I can get! Get ready … I will be sharing that moment!

Truth Tuesday – 0.4 lb Gain
Since 2008, this last week is always the toughest in January for me. I am out of my comfort zone and in a hotel for almost the entire time. I had my weigh-in and hit goal Tuesday morning, that night I moved into the Hilton Chicago and I was there through Sunday afternoon. I tried to prepare myself as best as possible and brought snacks, my workout clothes and my blender with me.
During this week I normally gain between 1-2 lbs since I end up imbibing too much wine which then results in eating too much food … and hangovers. Which lead to basically another day of eating horribly. So Thursday-Sunday for me this week were horrendous. Just ugly foodwise.
I am proud of myself because I kept my workout streak alive and made it to the hotel gym each day for at least 30 min of activity. (small victory)
Since I wasn’t home and used Monday as a get back on track and stay in the gym for an hour, I didn’t weigh-in. I had NO idea what to expect. I just wanted to be under 157 (to stay on track for Lifetime). My home scale showed a 0.3 lb gain. Whhaaaa??? I went to my WW weigh-in and I gained just 0.4 lbs! Wow! I will take it…
Today: Gain 0.4
Starting Weight: 217.4
Today’s Weight: 154.2
Total Lost: 63.2
I am still under my goal weight (155) by 0.8 lbs heading into Week Two of maintenance!
—
I am upset with myself for not having better control of my snacking and drinking, but I accepted what happened and have moved on.
These next five weeks are crucial in my journey to Lifetime. I am ready to get back on the horse – which I did yesterday. It felt wicked good to eat on plan and hit all my healthy checks. I just felt normal – even after one day.
The really tough stretch is the next two weeks as we prepare to move to Boston. This week alone we are going to a Blackhawks game and two Going Away parties. I am going to devise and plan and stick to it. I am going to increase my activity, as well as, bring snacks whenever possible.
But, the main thing is – I will not beat myself up over anything. This is the last time I will see many of these people for awhile and I want to enjoy the time we spend together.
I will make sure to really keep the wine and beer in check. I don’t like the hungover feeling – I mean who does (but this week I had two hangovers in three days - my first since early October). But it really messes up my eating schedule the next day, as well as, my workout schedule. And frankly, it’s not worth it. Time to reign that in.
—
Today was also our final WW at work meeting. It was extremely emotional for me. I didn’t outwardly cry, especially we had such a good time laughing during the meeting. But, inside I was sad to see the time end. Not just for me, but also my coworkers. They have all done so well. As a group since April, we lost 325 lbs. Woo! How freakin’ great is that!!
I really hope they can get 20 interested people in order to restart the group in April. I am keeping everything crossed for them…
—
I am so proud of all my participants in the #100ozchallenge. I cannot believe over 35 people have joined in to my challenge. I am even thinking of maybe having a prize or something down the road. That would be cool right?

Did anyone else face the scale for Truth Tuesday today?
