I want to take a second to recognize a few people who showed up this month. Not the loudest. Not the “perfect” ones. Just consistent, engaged, doing the work. That’s what these monthly prizes are about. So here are this month’s standouts 👇 (If your name isn’t here this time, don’t read into it — consistency compounds, and this rotates every month.) 🥇 1st Place: @Usra Shah I’ll be sending you a private Loom breakdown of your week — keep an eye out for my DM. 🥈 2nd Place: @Kathleen Haney You’ll get a personalized roadmap + custom calories/macros. 🥉 3rd Place: @Sandra Müller You’ll also get a personalized roadmap + custom calories/macros. 🟢 4th & 5th Place: @Jessica Clarke & @Shiva V You’ll both get a head start in next month’s Featured Member challenge 👀 Your presence in here mattered — encouraging others, sharing honestly, and keeping things real! Really proud of the energy in here lately. This is exactly how communities become something special. On to the next month 👊

How I Handle Food Events Without Guilt Food festivals, family outings, vacations — this applies no matter where you are in your journey. 🧠 My Simple Framework: Enjoy what you love. Taste what you’re curious about. Share the rest. ✅ How I Decide: - If I love it → I eat it and enjoy it - If I’m just curious → I take 1–2 bites - If I won’t finish it → I share half - Sometimes it’s one bite split between me, my partner, and my daughter 🥢 What I Shared / Took Bites Of: - Kung Pao plant-based bao bun - Quesabirria eggroll - Popcorn chicken - Bulgogi French fries - Hot & spicy crispy bao bun - Mickey jalapeño cream cheese pretzel 🍓 My Non-Negotiables (Didn’t Share): - Strawberry macarons - Japchae noodles with short rib 🎯 Why This Works: ✔️ You stay present ✔️ You remove guilt ✔️ You avoid the “all or nothing” mindset ✔️ Progress continues — even on fun days 📊 Bonus movement: 17,519 steps just by enjoying the day 👟✨ 💬 Question: What’s your go-to strategy at food events: sharing bites, choosing non-negotiables, or moving more?

This is a life time achievement. Something I will work on for the rest of my life. I will never claim to know everything or be an expert at any point in my journey. I will share what I learned to who ever is willing to listen. 👂 Still going down overall but so far not going lower than 134. Getting a little impatient but I réalise the issue lies in some bad habits with tracking so hopefully things will improve. I will also do the same weekend and weekday and not derail. I need to update my pictures more often. !!!! It’s just data 📉

Will you commit to not breaking promises to yourself this weekend?👇
