PoisonDartFrog

I'm in...I have been doing another challenge...(Not Gain weight during the holidays Challenge) and have found it quite helpful in keeping me accountable. My current weight is 197.6 lbs (up 2# from last weigh in - due to no BM in 5 days and traveling for work and eating out with clients for 3 days) For this challenge, I will weigh in and post here each Sunday, starting 1Jan17.

I re-started my weight loss journey this year in October. (23Oct16 I weighted 221.4 - close to my all-time high of 226 lbs). My ultimate goal is to get down to around 140# (which is smack dab in the middle of "Normal" BMI for my height. Normal is 122-163#. I am 5'8" tall). Participating and meeting this challenge will put me either at or really, really close to my Ultimate Goal Weight by the end of 2017.

I do have an open diary and am open to having new friends. However, I don't log well when I travel for work. (about 6 times a year). Also I use fitbit to keep increasing my activity. (I am poisondartfrog there for anyone else who uses it). However (lot of exceptions in this post -sorry), I lost my fitbit Tuesday, while traveling. I will be replacing it this evening/tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone and best wishes to all for a healthy New Year.
Jenn

Hey all !

I haven't done a challenge yet. So this will be my very first and I'm pumped.

One issue is that I don't weigh myself weekly. I find that I if I start loosing weight and see it on the scale I tend to sabotage myself, so I prefer to weigh myself monthly or bi-monthly. I find the non scale victories (decreasing in clothing sizes) more manageable for me. If you guys/gals don't mind I weigh in much less then I'll gladly join!!

Goal weight: 153
Current weight: 205
Total weight lost: 0
This week's successes: -
This week's challenges: Don't over eat during holidays (so not to gain more weight by Jan 1st)

Christmas morning 2016. Weighed in at 288.6. I'm 63 years old, 6'-1" tall and still working full time. I have a "LapBand" to help me but I need to put more of an effort into doing my part. I'm working my way into this mentally and will start full speed ahead on 1/1/17. Weight loss doesn't get any easier EVER, but I've done this before and I'm determined not to fail in 2017.
