    So I weighed myself again later in the day and after my workout, and I weighed in 2 pounds lighter than I did this morning! Crazy, right? But I'm a little less worried now about the apparent "gain," because it must indeed have been some water retention. :)

    I really need to start focusing. I refuse to use the excuse that "it's the holidays". I only went to the gym twice this week and I can honestly say I've been snacking. I'm losing focus and really need to get back on track.
    Heading to Middle-of-Nowhere, Virginia until 12/30 to see my grandparents. No gyms in the area and Grandma's cooking is not really the healthiest. Hoping to get a few runs in and watch portion control...

    I started the week very good, resisting chocolate, cookies etc. I had my weight down to 163, but by Friday and Saturday I crashed and burned :neutral_face: I ate almost 3800 calories Friday. Saturday I ate to much sweets but managed to keep it in my calorie range.

    The good thing out of all this, I no longer want any more chocolate or sweets for today. I will be throwing out the chocolate given from work etc this morning.

    This weeks battle plan:

    Monday 22nd: stick to breakfast smoothie, hit gym, salad lunch, throughout the day resist eating any chocolate, or sweets.

    Tuesday 23rd: stick to breakfast smoothie, hit gym, salad lunch, throughout the day resist eating any chocolate, or sweets.

    Wednesday 24th: Off work thank god! So eat at home, and hit gym in the morning if open

    Thursday 25th: Will log, but plan to enjoy Christmas!!

    Friday 26th: Hit the gym in the morning if open!! Burn of the Christmas meal, if not open go for a long walk!

    Saturday 27th! Log in weight in at least 162 lbs!!

    284.8 this morning. I'm going to see how many calories I can burn off between now and Wednesday at the gym. Try and get below this time before Christmas dinner at my friends. Though she is part of my support system so I can just see her reminding me not to over due it. I'm glad I'm spending it with her because she will cut me off.

    Thanks, stalled this last week but probably because I have had a cold. Just keep doing it is my mantra. Keep the deficit and continue on.

    I reached my next small goal. I planned to be able to fit comfortably in this leather jacket I was eyeing at this one store. It was a bit snug on me back in November. Not any more, I bought it, with a size smaller pair of pants and a size smaller sweat shirt today.

    Next goal is try and drop below 280 in January before leaving for Florida next month.

    This is the first weight in this month I have not gained or lost weight.
    I have also increased my cardio, and started weight lifting again slowly. They say your weight can initial go up for a little while when incorporating weight lifting.

    I also felt I was over eating using the Harris-Benedict formula. So as of today I have switched to the Katch-McCardle formula. After reading more into it, looks like a better calculation for me.

    If anyone has any other ideas suggestions please comment. Thanks!

    1 more weight in to go, I still have time to lose 2 more pounds before the end of December!

    I gained 4lb over the past 2 months due to a broken leg. My goal this month was to maintain, actually, although I lost a pound so far, so I'm ahead of the game.

    Total weight lost: GAIN of 3 lbs since Dec 1 (but temporary)

    So, obviously I've got the "Christmas" gain showing this morning. I still think it's important to show the fluctuation to be accountable.

    To all of us that indulged, please remember that it is NOT a failure. Get back to the logging and exercising--we have four days for the salt/carb/water bloat to subside. Good eating and moving to you all!

    My weight is up, knew it would be and I am ok with it, kind-of. Need to be ok with it. It will happen when I am maintaining permanently. Last day of the break is the 4th than back to losing. My weekly weight is only up .1 of a pound, so not to bad. Just hope my weight doesn't go over 140.5lbs!!

    Congrats to everyone who is losing and those who keep trying. You can do it!

    I made some poor choices this last week, but i own those decisions and move on. I have 2 days to lose a half a pound. Should happen after my 2 runs so if it does, I will be happy.
