    My new goal is not to go over 225... it is my TOM so some of this gain is from that but I am not doing so great logging everything I eat or working out! So ready for spring :(

    Ultimate Goal Weight: 150 will put me at the top of the normal BMI range but I think that's the # I've ultimately always wanted. Being under 200 would be a blessing (it has been probably 10 yrs since under 200)

    Goal for December: 324

    12/03: 333.2
    12/10: 331.4
    12/17: 327.6
    12/24:
    12/31:

    Week 1 +/-: -1.8lbs
    Week 2 +/-: -3.8lbs
    Week 3 +/-:
    Week 4 +/-:

    December Challenge weight loss: 5.6lbs
    December total weight loss: 6.4lbs
    Total weight loss: 9.4lbs

    WOAH! What a great week! I think I could possibly hit my GW for December by next weigh in...IF I do then I will adjust my final goal to be 322. Wouldn't that be something?? So happy with progress made this week! :D

    Not much of a drop this week, I am falling prey to the cookies and candy this time of year brings----I thought I would be more prepared to resist...grrr. I also avoided the gym, it is just sooooo cold, it's hard to get motivated. I have one christmas done, 2 more to go. I think my goal is just to survive the month!

    Getting closer to my goal. I don't think I will quite make it, but I am 1.8 pounds away from losing 60 this year and I think that is a pretty good achievement.

    Most of this probably water weight, since I don't drink enough water when I am not at work, nor did I exercise over the holiday. Hoping to get back to it now.

    Ok.. stayed under 225... but seeing as I had goals to be to onederland by New Years, I am pretty disappointed in myself for how the past few months have been... I am going back to the gym at least 3 days a week starting this week! I hope that will help until it gets warm enough to go walking/running on the other days!
