    December 12 -191 - Skated yesterday. It seems like no matter what I consume, that I lose weight after I skate.
    December 13 - Skated again, I think that I have messed up my calendar here, because the 191 should have been the 13th.
    December 14 -193. Unbelievable, 2 days of skating and up 2 pounds? Really expected a loss today. I don't measure my inches until the 27th. Glad that I am not weighing once per week, seeing as how this fluctuation is going. I actually like seeing it, I didn't realize that it could be like that. 2 pounds is a lot!

    Girl, I feel you!!! I’ve been bouncing between 188-191 for weeks. I think it was my body adjusting to more exercise. Just wait until you measure inches, kind of amazing that the scale can be so stubborn but the inches melt away. It will eventually catch up.

    December 1 - 193 - up one pound from yesterday : - (
    December 2 -193 - glad that I didn't gain, I was pretty over-indulgent over the weekend.
    December 3 -194 - kind of discouraged with the fluctuation. I had a good day, expected a loss.
    December 4 -194 - I really expected to be less this morning. On track to lose.
    December 5 -192 - back to where I was at the end of last month's challenge.
    December 6 -191 - Wow! Lots of days left to get down to that next decade. Seeing the scale move is motivating!
    December 7 -191 - Getting excited to get out of the 90s, hopefully by next week
    December 8 -192 - Dang. Oh well, I will stick with it. I over-ate yesterday and expected this. Very easy to put on, hard to take off.
    December 9 - 192
    December 10 -191- Good. Monday morning. Easier for me to be diligent during the week, so hope to see another drop this week. 2 steps forward 1 step back still equals going forward : - )
    December 11 -193 - Geez do I fluctuate!
    December 12 -191 - Skated yesterday. It seems like no matter what I consume, that I lose weight after I skate.
    December 13 - Skated again, I think that I have messed up my calendar here, because the 191 should have been the 13th.

    Hi
    I calculate in kilos so was aiming to lose 2.3 kilos in December.
    Not doing great. Feeling heavy and discouraged.

    I know, it is so hard! We have to stick with it though.

    Thanks lalabank. This can be so discouraging. I get it that I can't eat like a "normal" person without being fat. But working so hard on it and not getting results is disappointing. Especially when there seems to be a formula wherein certain things make me lose weight (like skating) and yet even that isn't working right now. I will keep going. The scale moving down is great motivation, but that is not really happening. Maybe in a few more days. It sure would have been nice to have had a bit of a weight cushion for the holidays, like if I had lost 5 pounds.

    Too chicken to check my weight. I’ve been eating like a condemned man all week with lots of holiday goodies. It’s an awful feeling and my gut is paying for it.

    29:
    31:

    Total loss: 2.0

    Don't feel bad. I ate 4010 calories yesterday after eating 3168 calories the day before. lol
    I've gained 2 pounds on the scale in 2 days. As long as I get back on track asap, it never lasts long and my weight goes down pretty quickly.

    I hope your gut feels better soon! This month is a tricky one. :smile:

    Original starting wgt: 253
    December starting weight: 178.8
    December goal: 175

    •Monday Updates•📌
    12/1 - 178.8 - carbs
    12/2 - 177.6 - carbs
    📌12/3 - 180.6 - CARBS!

    12/7 - 176.4 - up slightly
    •Update on my carby snack weight swings😆
    12/8 - 176.4 - sort of an OMAD day on the 7th. Dealing with sore throat. Pretzels and homemade onion dip.
    12/9 - 177.4 - Ate the heck out of some pretzels.
    📌12/10 - 178.8 - Temporary. My pretzel frenzy really wasn't. I only had 2ozs of them, but I do Keto, so there's fluid to reckon with.
    12/11 - 176.6 - Lucky ducky today, because I ate 700 calories worth of gourmet potato chips yesterday. No regrets. They were delicious and I'll take the hit tomorrow if it comes.

    12/13 - 177.2
