    I've been yo-yo-ing between 155-160 during all of November. My original goal was to get to 145 by Christmas, but I don't think that is going to happen. So I'll settle with 150 and *hope* to reach it early.

    December 3: 155.4 - Cannot seem to break this 155 plateau :(
    December 4: 154.8 - Hope this drop sticks, I hate seeing it creep up to 155 every other day.

    November 25: 176.2. I'm happy that I was up .08 pounds on the very first day for several reasons: It's important to see that weight fluctuates on a daily basis, so we're after trends not one day's change. Also, an "up" day on the scale does not derail us; anybody who reaches their goal has numerous "up" days along the way. All is well.

    My weight tends to do this, too. I'll get stuck for a long time, kinda drift down a little bit and pop back up again for several days. If I keep at it, though, eventually it'll settle in or even drop lower. It's super frustrating, but it helps knowing that's just what my body does. Hang in there!!

    Huh. No idea what happened here. Sodium has been where it belongs, macros and calories on the mark, too. I worked out pretty hard on Monday night, but I don't feel sore enough to think I'm still retaining water on that now. Even drank 84 ounces of water yesterday.

    Weird stuff happens. Just gonna keep at it and trust that it'll work itself out again. Planning on half an hour on the elliptical and another half on the bike. Maybe that will help get it moving again.

    I just found this challenge. I’m starting 2 days late on November 26.

    Starting weight: 184.0
    Ending weight: TBD
    Goal weight: 179.0

    November 26: 184.0
    November 27: 187.8
    November 28: 185.6
    November 29: 183.6
    November 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Dinner Feast tonight with family. I expect a gain on the scale tomorrow.
    December 01: 187.4 I honestly ate child sized portions but I guess it adds up. My best figure is under 2300 but I did quick calories on MFP at 2350. I burned almost 2600 so I’m not sure I understand the gain when I know there was less calories in than out, but that’s carbs for ya! Okay so I am supposed to lose 5 pounds by Christmas and I gain 5 pounds overnight just by eating at maintenance! So I have my work cut out for me but I’m not a quitter so here goes nothing!
    December 02: (Goal for 1st week: 183.0) Actual weight: 183.2 Yay! TMI potty helped tremendously as it had been a few days. So I have about made goal afterall and am pleased as punch! Now, to keep up the momentum!
    December 03: 183.6 This must be a normal fluctuation. Everything was perfect yesterday-Calories, Carbs & Increased exercise. It will show up sooner or later because diligence always pays off.
    December 04: 182.6 Very happy with the 1 lb loss. Travel & food tomorrow. Looking forward to all but the scale on the 6th!
    December 05: Travel Day. Sitting during long drives. Shopping. Restaurants. However, what goes up must come down so no worries though I will dread the scale tomorrow.

    That thing is happening; too busy at work, not enough sleep or overall self-care going on. Running from meeting to meeting put a bunch of steps to my Fitbit, but by this afternoon I grabbed a couple of Thin Mints a co- worker put out. "A Kind bar would be better fit me", I reasoned. That lead to a candy bar... then another... then a couple more cookies. Just finally had a late dinner of actual food. Letting go of THIS cycle is the real goal. Ther first step is to get enough sleep tonight, and not wreck tomorrow fussing over the morning's weigh in.

    I just found this challenge. I’m starting 2 days late on November 26.

    Starting weight: 184.0
    Ending weight: TBD
    Goal weight: 179.0

    November 26: 184.0
    November 27: 187.8
    November 28: 185.6
    November 29: 183.6
    November 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Dinner Feast tonight with family. I expect a gain on the scale tomorrow.
    December 01: 187.4 I honestly ate child sized portions but I guess it adds up. My best figure is under 2300 but I did quick calories on MFP at 2350. I burned almost 2600 so I’m not sure I understand the gain when I know there was less calories in than out, but that’s carbs for ya! Okay so I am supposed to lose 5 pounds by Christmas and I gain 5 pounds overnight just by eating at maintenance! So I have my work cut out for me but I’m not a quitter so here goes nothing!
    December 02: (Goal for 1st week: 183.0) Actual weight: 183.2 Yay! TMI potty helped tremendously as it had been a few days. So I have about made goal afterall and am pleased as punch! Now, to keep up the momentum!
    December 03: 183.6 This must be a normal fluctuation. Everything was perfect yesterday-Calories, Carbs & Increased exercise. It will show up sooner or later because diligence always pays off.
    December 04: 182.6 Very happy with the 1 lb loss. Travel & food tomorrow. Looking forward to all but the scale on the 6th!
    December 05: 184.6Travel Day. Sitting during long drives. Shopping. Restaurants. However, what goes up must come down so no worries though I will dread the scale tomorrow. Yesterday was sloppy joes, baked beans & candy corn at a friend’s house. I should have ate it without the bun but I was starving.

    Starting weight: 165, December 01
    Goal weight: 160

    December 1: Goal for 1st week 160
    December 2:162. Was 165 last night due to 5 days of piggish behavior.
    December 3:160. Changing habits by increments. To start, only one slice of breakfast toast
    December 4: 160
    December 5: 159 My mind convinced my gut that 2100 calories of nutritious food will keep me alive and sated.
