My word is FINISH. Finish what I start. I have been so guilty the last few years of starting my weight loss journey, going at it full force, then slowly giving up. I also know that I am great at taking on too much at the same time and running out of steam for anything. At 72 I know myself well enough to know that a change must be made now. I am about 30 pounds heavier than I should be, and this is the year to not only Finish but also to stay with it for the rest of my life. Thanks for all the encouragement and great advice, Dee. Love you!
I toyed with 2 words, Try and Strength. But I think I’m leaning towards Strength. I want to have the strength to continue my weight loss journey. I want to have strength to support my family and an elderly mom. I want to have strength to put myself first and give myself some self care this year. So Strength it is! Thanks for the video. I think Inspired is a good word for you.
I recently resigned up for the app and I found you on u tube. I look forward to your videos. You not only share great information but you are so inspiring. My word is Determination.
My word is blessed. My life has not always been easy, but I am still here at 78. Chunky and want to lose 15 lbs correctly. A former eating disorder woman who loves my life, even heavy. No therapy, just faith in God.
Believe is my word. Believe that I can do this and stop self sabotaging! Thanks for the inspiration! I’d like to see more recipes and ideas to keep from getting bored.
My word is TRUST! Trust in me, trust in the food plan and trust in the slow process. I didn’t gain this weight overnight and I’m going to lose it slowly and realistically. Thanks for your channel, Dee. Appreciate your honesty and INSPIRATION 😉Mary W.
My word is "Me" to put me first at work and in life. That is how I am realizing I am in a good mindset. Not in a selfish way but self care way. Love this channel!!!!!!
My word is joy! I want to have joy in my journey and not constantly think of it as restriction or things being taken away or constant work. I know when I’m at a healthy weight, I’m more joyful.
INSPIRE! Amen to that! I think my word is going to be GRACE, give myself grace for what you do and try to do and maybe accomplish! AMEN! Thanks! So I;m not going to get mad cause I had a bad day there's more than 1 day, I'm going to do it! Listening sometimes is all what some need to go forward!
I have been maintaining at goal for a year and a half. I was counting calories with Lose it for the last year after getting to goal with Weight Watchers. I just joined Weight Watchers again to continue my maintenance and have been LOVING IT! 🎉
You are my go-to for ideas and content. You are like having an online penpal (if that even makes sense 😂). Thank you for all you do for this community.
Love your comments on exercise and I agree with you. In my past ( 7th time on WW ) I would exercise for an hour when I started each time on WW. This time I am really focusing on points and healthier eating first. 😊. Great job on the 💯 weight loss. 🎉 My word is (grace).
My word is Me. Not meaning a smug, narcissistic individual but more about me. I live next door to my parents 92 & 94 which can be stressful. So that being said without details I must put me first and foremost so that I can take care of the rest. ❤
It's a great idea to pick a word for the year. I think that "Inspire" is perfect for you, Dee, because you certainly inspire me. I also follow Jenn Clayton channel. She lost 140 pounds, and she mentioned that she watches your channel. That's how I found you. My word of the year will be "persistent" because I am determined to reach my goal weight this year and then to keep it off.
If I quit now. I will soon be back to where I was 235 pounds and when I started. I was absolutely wishing to be where I am now going to be. Recipes and keep inspiring us. To continue this journey.
My word for 2025 is 'Engage'. I'm looking for some more Whole Foods recipes this year... Not sure if you'd like to include that in any of your videos. You are Inspiring....good word for you ❤
Thank you for inspiring us; a 100 pound loss maintained is absolutely remarkable! I had my yearly physical in November and had lost about 5 pounds overall…i was disappointed but you’re right, at least I didn’t gain again! My word for 2025 is CONSISTENCY. Why? Because I’m sick and tired of not sticking with it, I’m tired of the roller coaster ride, I need to DO IT or of course it won’t work! I really want to focus on Whole Foods, stop eating junk because I simply can’t control myself, can’t moderate those things. Thank you and happy new year! ❤
Consistency is my word for 2025. I tend to be all over the place. You are so real and honest, I could see and feel your struggles. I can totally relate to you and your struggles because they are my struggles too. You inspire me to continue this journey.
Great podcast Dee! My word for the year is Change. I hope to change habits of myself and change the way I respond to others when their comments are inappropriate. I guess that would also be boundary issues, I need to tighten mine up a little with some people, family members and/or friends. This journey is a tough one on some days and I acknowledge that so therefore for people to make light of it or criticise it needs to be met with a different response from me. I am doing great at it!. I love your recipies and your down to earth moderate approach to WW. Thank you for all you do! You ARE a great inspiration and I appreciate you! Happy New Year!
#Focus focus on my small goals to get to the bigger goals. I lost just over 10 lbs in 2024 on WW, the company I work for has included Noom in our package. So I have been doing both since the first part of December. Lost 2.2 lbs in December. Will focus on more protein and less sugar. Here's to 2025!
Great word for you. You definitely inspire us 😊. I haven't settled in a word yet. I've written down 4 and will sit with those for a day or two and see which one I gravitate towards. Looking for a word to apply more holistically to the areas in my life that I would like to address this yr
My word is to Conquer! My doctor wants me on high & protein low carb.. I'm an ovo lacto vegetarian. I could not wrap my head around this for nothing. I was lost. So last night I was chatting with my best friend We stayed up together to watch the ball drop, we do this every year. Somewhere between texting and listening to Anderson Cooper laughing which is great! His laugh heals my soul.. I realized that I need to eat like a person who eats meat but using vegetarian proteins. So I opened the app and planned today's meals, to see the carb count eating high protein low carb within the guide lines my doctor wants which is 30/30.30/15 carbs per meal and 1 snack. I came under with 96 grams of carbs and 96 grams of protein.💡I need to add the macros are a game changer. I didn't understand how off I was with carbs. I needed a lot more education, I was eating a product that said 4 net carbs so it would be my breakfast snack made lunch with it. But my sugar was always high. I felt defeated! I understand now from the macros that you need to count gross carbs.
I have 2 Present I want to be present in the moment and not be thinking about oh I should be doing this or that . The other is well I guess old school :the old plan that worked for me - more reading less phone time. The list goes on Yup you can’t out run the fork as they say
Yes, I am going to disagree on not exercising. You need to do both. The only way to build muscle is to exercise. That is the only way. So as you are losing weight you are losing muscle if you are not exercising. It will be very hard to maintain and you might not gain weight but you will gain fat. On a low calorie diet you are going to lose muscle without exercise.

I want to THRIVE in 2025.
I love that!
I have 2
Present I want to be present in the moment and not be thinking about oh I should be doing this or that .
The other is well I guess old school :the old plan that worked for me - more reading less phone time. The list goes on
Yup you can’t out run the fork as they say
I agree 100%
My word is a phrase, (Not Never, Just Not Now!) 11:12 When I’m being tempted by extra snacks
Aweosme ! Love it
Yes, I am going to disagree on not exercising. You need to do both. The only way to build muscle is to exercise. That is the only way. So as you are losing weight you are losing muscle if you are not exercising. It will be very hard to maintain and you might not gain weight but you will gain fat. On a low calorie diet you are going to lose muscle without exercise.
I do RUclips Premium, do you still benefit? 🤞
I am sure somewhere
