Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!

As of today I have been using MFP for a year. Got a Garmin Vivofit as a Christmas gift and fired it up right then and there, and it recommended using MFP and a few days later I found @SamanthaLouiseMence 's January 2017 challenge, and here I am! I am so thankful for all of the encouragement and support given and received here!

I got an early Christmas gift. A WHOOSH! This morning I saw a new low of 205.9! After being stuck for a month, things are moving again!

I am a bit over halfway to goal.

Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

Lowest since 1999: 195.

Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

Average from November 20th - November 26th: 208.2
November 27th to December 3rd: 208.1
December 4th to December 10th: 208.4
December 11th to December 17th: 208.5
December 18th to December 24th: 206.6

Loss for December: 1.6 lbs.

MFP Loss: 26.4 lbs.

Total cumulative loss: 36.4 lbs.

Until next week...

Move more, eat less.

You passed me! Only to motivate me even more! So proud of you, and this "woosh" is well-deserved. Congrats!

I forgot to do my weigh ins. I started December at 251.4 and I am currently at 240.8...so I definitely did it and I still have some time to do more! I am actually really inspired by myself.

I plateaued for this past week, which was a little disappointing. However, with richer holiday food in abundance, I wasn't exactly shocked. Although I likely won't meet my new December goal, at least I maintained. We'll see I guess Besides, there's always next month! Progress is progress, no matter how long it takes.

December 16 – 178.2 (A bit of a gain, but if I stay under 180 through December, I’m counting that as a win!)
December 26 - 174 I've been sick! Started Saturday (12/23) with fever, headache, body aches...yep, I have the flu. (I got the flu shot in November), then it progressed and I was diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday. So I didn't get to have Christmas with my family and it's been a pretty *kitten* holiday. Yes, I'm feeling sorry for myself. On the plus side, I've lost weight, ha!

So far, made it through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with no adverse effects. Will begin maintenance next month. That, in itself, will be a challenge to coordinate nutrition and exercise to result in neither a gain nor loss. My best wishes to each of you as you continue perseverence to reach for your ultimate goal. Kind regards.

I may still be able to swing this! On Boxing Day I was down to 269lbs, so I will be doing my best to drink lots of water and pass on the treats over the next few days!

Not entirely unexpected (most of it is trifle) BUT! I'm still here, I'm still logging my food AND most of it has already been eaten because I didn't buy loads and loads. So by 2nd Jan it will all be gone and I can start a fresh.

Hopefully there won't be a massive gain in the next 2 days
