    1. Stuck to my calories today
    2. Did my bodyweight and barbell exercises even though we are at the in-laws!
    3. No late night snacking

    It was hard but knowing I had to report helped.

    Name: Bri
    Starting weight:180
    Goal:178

    My Plan:
    1. Stick to 1200 per day. Any leftover Christmas goodies must fit into calorie goal.
    2. Exercise at least 1 hour each day. 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio.
    3. Do Ab Challenge each day.
    4. Pre log food whenever possible


    Results:

    Sun12/27:
    1. :smile:
    2. :smile: Went sledding with my family! The last time we went sledding, I didn't sled because I couldn't walk back up the hill!
    3. :smile: I ate too many carbs and felt like crap in the evening but did the Ab Challenge because of the commitment. Whew!
    4. I pre logged but didn't follow the plan and just barely squeezed by close to my calorie goal and way over on carbs.

    Just 4 days til the New Year. We can do this folks! Keep at it!

    I've got my day planned for Monday. It should be easier to follow through since I will be back to my normal routine?

    Well, you inspired me to finish this year reasonably. Okay, my specific goals:
    Hop on the scale on my normal weigh in day, to survey the damage. (That would be Wednesday.)
    Drink 6-8 glasses of water each day, since I have not been drinking my water.
    Log accurately--!!! :p

    Happy Monday everyone. We are so close, there's no point to giving up now! We might as well just follow through!

    Well done all! Keep at it :-)

    Name: MrsM.

    Starting weight: 13st 9lbs / 191lbs (at 27/12/15).

    Goal weight: 13st 6.25lbs / 188.25lbs - this was my weight before The Cold and Christmas, so am hopeful that part of the gain is water from excess salt and bread, then I'm aiming to buck my own trend of .5lb a week :-)

    Plan:
    1. Stick to my MFP guide of 1380. Caveat: unless I've exercised then have choice to eat back some or all calories.
    2. Do 30 mins cardio every day - can't do more as coming out of stinky cold and know what my limitations are.
    3. Drink enough water - some days it's easy and some days it really isn't!

    27/12 (Sun) - Done all three :-)
    28/12 (Mon) - No idea on pt.1 - dang head cold has almost done for me today. Did the other two for sure.
    29/12 (Tues) -
    30/12 (Weds) -
    31/12 (Thurs) -

    Oooo! I had a good day! I hope you are all doing well also. Tomorrow I am going out with my girlfriends. I volunteered to drive, so I won't have any alcohol, so that will help on calories.

    Great job Bri!

    I did not meet my goals yesterday but today I am inspired to get all three of my goals! I'm back from a visit and in my own home.

    I love this group! I hope I can report positively tonight!

    Goals are way easier when you get back to a normal routine!

    I read a post yesterday by a lady who has been maintaining her weight for several years after losing a lot of weight.

    She said it's not about willpower although willpower is an effective tool sometimes, it's really about the habits you build along the way.

    Thank you. It's dragging on (and on!). Get very hungry for stodgy carbs, which I'm trying to ignore but am only partially succeeding at.

    Very true. Our habits are changing, which will be our framework for the future.
