Well, I was 132.2 yesterday (but it didn't count)...today was less than stellar on the scale...but I'm guessing it's because I've been gorging on Milk Duds and Red Hot candies the past few evenings. Did well with water once or twice this week, but still not consistent (especially today). Still need to move a lot more than I have been (so not used to this cold weather in VA, which makes me want to hibernate -- there is a reason I live in FL). Time to buckle down and get it done though!0 -
So I gained a pound. Not good this week.

I think the weight fluctuation is due to more salty foods

Things are looking up! My real pitfall is snacking. When I avoid it I lose when I indulge I gain. This week I've been having large lunches to stave off snacking. Hopefully that is a strategy that will continue to work for me.5 -
While I am happy that I did loose, I am also worried about the last two weeks being such huge losses. I did take the week off from recording food. I just needed a break, and I felt really good at the start of the week. Started a new workout program, and felt like I was eating things in moderation. Than I got swamped with must dos at the end on friday, saturday and sunday and things eating may have been sidelined too much. This week will be a bit more normal (well less crazy), and I should be able to make sure I am getting enough and will go back to recording all the things

Honestly, 1-2/wk is all you should try to lose anyway, and trying to lose 2/week with two major food/goodies holidays is just brutal. Give yourself a lot of mercy and grace during this time and consider it a success if you can just maintain during this time of year. Huge kudos for already losing nearly 6 pounds during this time!! Honestly, it's a pretty phenomenal accomplishment. You'll be in one-derland soon after if you don't make it by Christmas as you are doing awesome!5 -

Honestly, happy to see the number on the scale as I jumped up even higher during the week (133.8 on Wed). Did pretty well the past couple of days trying to get more water. Trying to get more protein each day too. Also, done better with not drinking so much alcohol daily (but my sugar/candy eating has been up a bit in its place)...so much balancing needed.2 -
Had. An xmas lunch so ok I guess, was hoping for better

A little disappointed to see it go back to where I was last week. Feel like I did pretty good with my water and protein over the weekend. But as I told someone else...sometimes during the holidays, even maintaining is a win!
I have a lot going on in my life right now (as a caregiver to an ailing elderly mother and 800 miles from home as I temporarily live with her), so there are a lot of restrictions on what I can/can't do as my days often aren't my own right now. So, just logging regularly is a big win. Getting my proteins back up, more water daily and less alcohol during this time, are big wins.
We have one more week, to get 'er done! Let's do this, my fellow winners!

Keep going, Everyone! I keep reminding myself how good I’ll feel to enter the New Year at a lower wt rather than having to re-lose what I’d already lost.
We have 15 days through New Year’s Eve from now. Don’t give up. If we tow the line on all breakfasts & lunches & 12-13 of 15 dinners (Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, NY Eve), we should all still lose by Jan 1st!2 -
