Starting weight 325lbs 22nd August 2019
Start weight this month 274.6
Goal weight this month 264
Target goal weight 165lbs possibly less undecided yet!

Going a little easier on my goal this month as I didn't make goal last month. Missed by 0.3lbs!

Sept lost 14.9lbs
October loss 12.1lbs
November loss 11.6lbs

1 December 274.6 up from yesterday by 1.3lbs. Too much exercise and not enough water! I'll learn eventually!

2 December 274.1 down a little from yesterday but still 0.8lbs above my November low! Keep drinking the water!

3 December 275.2 Not pleased with this but I have a really nasty water infection which I suspect is causing issues as I've not changed anything diet wise.

4 December 274.2 Better but not great. Water infection still going strong. Have meds now so fingers crossed it goes soon.

5 December 273.9 Better again but still 0.6lbs over my lowest so far. Water infection improving though so hopefully that'll show in tomorrow's weigh in.

6 December 271.1! Finally I get a woohoo moment! Now at my lowest weight since October 2013. Maybe, just maybe goal is possible this month because I REALLY don't want to go back up just for Christmas! My best present is weighing less than I do now.

7 December 270.9 delighted with this again! Had half expected a gain today so to lose again is awesome! 😁

8 December 270.5 Woohoo again! This is 54.5lbs lost since starting. Only 1.5lbs to the 4 stone lost! Super pleased about this! 😊😃😁

9 December 268.6! Super double woohoo! Really wasn't expecting that but am honestly so delighted. Definitely not screwing this up just for Christmas food!

10 December - no weigh in, away with work.

11 December - no weigh in away with work - very scary not having my daily weigh in guidance!

12 December 267.9! Amazed and really delighted at this! 3.9lbs to go to December goal.

13 December 267.2! Didn’t expect to lose again today so doubly delighted with this. MFP just works! 3.2lbs to make December goal. 😀

14 December 267.2 still delighted with this!

15 December 268.1. Not delighted with this but we’ll deserved since I had a Christmas meal out last night with friends and not enough water! Onwards and downwards to December goal.

16 December 267.9 Heading in the right direction again but I've got a tough week ahead. Away in a hotel with hubby until Thursday night. Which means eating out. Going to be very careful but worried because I won't have my scales or control of what I'm eating!

15 Dec: stayed at a hotel after Christmas party last night, couldn’t weigh.
16 Dec: 140.6 not too bad after the amount of food and drinking I did Saturday.

🎄 Welcome to the minefield that is December 😂🤣😂😂🤣

Journey so far:

Jan 2015: I joined MFP, and gradually reduced
Oct 2016: finally hit my target of 155
Dec 2018: Had gradually wavered up again to 170s
Jan 2019: Set new goal of 155 by end of the year
July 2019: had bounced up and down between 160 and 170
Aug 2019: Gave myself the proverbial kick up the a** and buckled down!
Oct 2019: Set new goal weight of 150 by year end
Nov 2019: Hit goal late Nov. I’m now focusing on increasing strength workouts

Aug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
Sept: -4.71
Oct: -4.2
Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)

OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
DEC SW: 150
GW: Under 150

01 Dec: 150

02 Dec: 150
03 Dec: 149.9
04 Dec: 149.6
05 Dec: 148.8 Pleased that weight is moving again. This is the lowest I have been since my late 30s.
06 Dec: 149.2 Normal daily fluctuations are a fact of life. And I have several shindigs today, so expect another temporary bounce up tomorrow.
07 Dec: 150.4 Not too badly over goal, but salty snacks at wine tasting last night have had the inevitable result. It's the tightrope we walk. However, bouncing around 150 is vastly preferable to the 170s of last December.
08 Dec: 149.6 Hopefully on the way down again but could just be normal daily fluctuations

Mo 09/12: 148.6 I made better choices yesterday, but have a Christmas celebration with my Monday Painters after lunch, so eating light the rest of the day.
Tu 10/12: 148.8 Phew! Not to bad. But this morning I am celebrating with my Craft Group. See what I mean about December being a minefield! 😂
We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations 🎉 but today I am shopping (lots of walking) anc chores at home so will avoid the goodies.
Th 12/12: 147.8 Yesterday I got in an extra hour walking in the unexpected sunshine after lunch. And had mostly healthy snacks. (Ate a ring doughnut at my evening crochet group, but still over 600+ Of a deficit, even after that.) After almost 5 years working at changing my previous bad habits, hoping this is my new normal. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fri 13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
Sat 14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations 😂 Next week is relatively clear of social events, so there will be less temptation to stray.
Sun 15 Dec: 147.2 Stayed on track yesterday. Spent most of the day doing prep on sleeping arrangements for family visiting over Christmas. Our outdoor lights are up and working.
Mon 16 Dec: 148.6 On track. Normal fluctuation.

MFP Start weight: 160 lbs
Started “just give 1 month” threads in Mid-Oct 2019 @ 157.4 lbs
December start weight: 155.6 lbs
December goal: 153 lbs
Ultimate goal: 98 lbs, but that maybe too low. Main goal is to be healthier & stronger.

October +2.6 lbs. (160)
Nov. -2 lbs. (156.6 lbs)

Dec 1 = 155.6
Dec 2 = 156.6 Well, I'm not surprised cause I blew it, yesterday, and had 2 slices of pie.Why? just a weak moment & the temptation of this whole beautiful pie that was going to be thrown away. I took it home for my husband & then dove in, too. What a nut! I can & will do better!
Dec 3 = 156.6
Dec 4 = 156
Dec 5 = 157.6
Dec 6 = 157
Dec 7 = 157.8
Dec 8 = 157.8 Yesterday, was really rough. Very stressful. Somehow I must get used to my new normal of extra stress. Very frustrating with Drs, nurses, my Dad, Memory care, my dad's cough, medication.... I still to this moment haven't been able to get the medication called in.
Dec 9 = 158.6 Binging yesterday & today... Not gonna give up yet! Expecting another gain tomorrow, tho.
Dec 10 = 158 lbs. stuck with food plan today.
Dec 11 = 157.2 lbs
Dec 12 = 156.6 lbs
Dec 13 = 158.4 lbs Was much better with food the last couple days, so I was surprised with it. Obviously, I did not stick with my food plans completely... I can do this!!!!!!
Dec 14 = 158.4 lbs
Dec 15 = 158.4 lbs
Dec 16 = 157.4 lbs. Stayed under in calories, yesterday. No exercise

13 Dec: 207.6 (same as 10th/11th. The odd thing here is that, normally, if I adhere to my diet, I'll wake up actually "feeling" thinner, particularly in my torso. This week, I haven't...I've felt extra bloated. The numbers are doing what I want them to, but I haven't been feeling quite right. Hoping this isn't a period of muscle loss).

I've lost a little more than 20 pounds since late July, but I've been slipping up lately and not hitting my calorie target as consistently as I was earlier in the process. My goal for December is to finish the year strong and get back into the "normal" BMI range (<157 lbs).

Starting weight: 184.6
Start weight this month: 163.7
Goal weight this month: 156.9
Target goal weight: TBD

01 Dec: 163.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
02 Dec: 164.1 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
03 Dec: 163.3 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
04 Dec: 162.6 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
05 Dec: 162.5 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
06 Dec: 162.1 - stayed on track with my diet (had to plan carefully around a restaurant meal); no exercise
07 Dec: 162.0 - ate at or slightly above maintenance level (darn late-night stress snacking); no exercise (hope to do better with exercise this coming week)
08 Dec: 161.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
09 Dec: 161.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
10 Dec: 162.1 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
11 Dec: 161.9 - stayed on track with my diet (ate a little less in anticipation of higher intake tomorrow at a holiday party); no exercise
12 Dec: 161.4 - ate around maintenance (had to estimate restaurant food - may see a spike on scale tomorrow); no exercise
13 Dec: 161.4 - happy not to see a spike on the scale after yesterday; ate above maintenance (holiday party #2); no exercise
14 Dec: 161.5 - happy not to see a spike after holiday party #2; ate way too much at holiday party #3 today; no exercise
15 Dec: 164.4 - I can tell I'm retaining water after yesterday's party food - hopefully my weight will normalize again quickly; stayed on track with my diet (ate a little less than normal because I wasn't as hungry after yesterday's feasting); no exercise
16 Dec: 162.5 - nice to see most of the scale spike disappear - I still feel like I'm retaining water, but it's also possible that I gained some actual fat - will see what the scale does over the next few days; diet and exercise TBD

03 Dec: 202.0, traveling ✔ greasy high carb high sodium food ✔ PMS bloating and water retention ✔ what a hell of a 24 hours
04 Dec: 202.5, unmotivated today, ate at maintenance. Got a new food scale though so tomorrow will be more motivated:D
05 Dec: 203.0
06 Dec: 202.2, coming back down
07 Dec: 200.8, can not wait to hit my beginning of the month weight. Getting closer and closer
08 Dec: 201.8, very late dinner
09 Dec: 200.8
10 Dec: 200.8, likely not eating much today. Slipped and fell last night and hit near my temple on my son's desk. It hurts to open my mouth all the way. Mix with a severe lack of sleep and it is not gonna be a good day.

11 Dec: 200.0, knew this was gonna happen, didn't eat a whole lot as my head and jaw are sore. Went to the dr and found out that I have a concussion. Wont be eating a lot today either and will be spending the next 2 days resting as I get dizzy still.

12 Dec: 200.4, still holding onto water, man its annoying

13 Dec: 202.4
14 Dec: 201.2
15 Dec: 200.6
16 Dec: 200.6, omg finally TOM, with a cycle lasting 42 days I have a month of ovulation and then pms symptoms and water retention/bloating. So glad I am tracking on a trending app and weighing in everyday. I realise now why I quit so many times before. I would go crazy because the scale stayed within the same 2 lbs for a month no matter what I did. Inevitably I'd let it get in my head and quit. Thought about it this time too but decided to just stay the course.

Thank you for doing this again this month!
Starting weight 179.5
Start weight this month 140.2
Goal weight this month 135.0
Target goal weight 129.5

This month I have so many events centered around eating. If I can get to 135, I will be thrilled. I was 137.2 before the Thanksgiving weekend, I think the first 3 pounds will come off easy, but not sure if I will lose any more this month. It is definitely going to be a yo-yo on the scales with all the big food events.

01 Dec: 140.2 😬 gained 3 pounds over the weekend at my mother-in-laws for Thanksgiving. I am sure much of it was water weight, but I also enjoyed the meals and pies.
02 Dec: 139.0 😏 already starting to come down.
03 Dec: 137.8 😏 almost back to pre-Thankgiving weight
04 Dec: 137.2 😊Back to what I was before the weekend.
05 Dec: 136.4 😃That was a nice surprise.
06 Dec: 135.9 😁 YAY! But now I am at the airport flying to Las Vegas for a weekend of good friends, laughter and lots of good food! I am sure I will gain a few pounds over the next 2 days, but the plan is to lose them and a tiny bit more throughout next week, then next weekend of more festivities!
07 Dec:
08 Dec:
09 Dec:
10 Dec: 138.5 😬😡😫 Yep way up from a fun time in Las Vegas! The question is can I get back to 135.9 before Friday? Friday night is a huge Company dinner. And Saturday night we are hosting my daughter's Graduation party! She graduates with a Bachelor of Science! So proud! 👩‍🎓🎓🍾🥂
11 Dec: 137.1 😏🤪 Still have 1.2 pound to get back to preweekend weight. Can I make it by Friday? Fingers crossed!
12 Dec: 136 😊😁 Almost back to pre-Las Vegas weight! Fingers crossed I am there tomorrow!
13 Dec: 135.4 😁😁😁 Made it below my pre-Las Vegas weight, and only .4 pounds to my December goal. But tonight I have a Company dinner at Maestros Ocean Club, so fun, so yummy and so many calories 😋😋. Then tomorrow night my daughter's graduation party🥂🍾🎓👩‍🎓, so much fattening food and celebration! I will be fighting to recoop my weight again next week, but that will be the story of December.
14 Dec:
15 Dec:
16 Dec: 139.4 😫😯Wow! What a little (ok a lot) of alcohol🤪, and a lot of desserts will do to your weight. My daughter's party👩‍🎓🎓🍾🥂 was SO much work to get ready... I got in 30,000 steps that day, but it was SO nice and fun once it started! Here is to hoping I get down to 135 before Friday... I am wearing a REALLY tight dress💃 to another company dinner... I know spanks will help, but they are not miracle workers😊.

02 Dec: 68/149.9 All from the weekend 😐 hopefully today’s efforts change the direction.
03 Dec: 67.2/148.2 🙂 TOM
04 Dec: 67.5/148.8 calories have been ok.
05 Dec: 66.7/147
06 Dec: 66.7/147 Cal’s ok, food TERRIBLE
07 Dec: 66.5/146.6 Cal’s ok food 😔
08 Dec: 66.3/146.1 Cal’s ok food 😔 went shopping for better food so hopefully I eat it!
09 Dec: 66.1/145.7 Cal’s ok, moved treadmill from HOT garage to air conditioned office. Haven’t been using it for weeks 🥵 no excuse now!
10 Dec: 66 /145.5 Cal’s ok food good
11 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over, had a frozen drink guesstimated what I thought was a generous calorie amount got home and looked up real Cal’s 😱😱
12 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over yesterday
13 Dec: 66/145.5 Cal’s a bit over yesterday. Last day of school for the kids before 7 weeks off. I love school holidays but I think it will make things harder, have a plan so hoping to prove myself wrong 😃
14 Dec: 65.7/ 144.8
15 Dec: 65.7/144.8
16 Dec: 66.1/145.7 🧐 it’s super hot here and I’ve puffed up again. Had to loosen my watch, belt and bra so I thought the number would actually be higher! Also went over in calories yesterday but not by much.
17 Dec: 66.1/145.7 still hot, 4 hours sleep last night. Someone else on here mentioned they gain around ovulation... I have never noticed before but looking back over last three months, I have gained about 1Kg/2.2lbs in the same three days leading up. If it does it next month I’ll be convinced it’s not a coincidence. Not sure if it’s a fluid thing or a bad food choice thing (that adds fluid) because I know that’s a problem around there for me. I dislike cooking and I always end up baking something like biscuits or cheesecake something high Cal’s. So interesting!! 😃

Female; Age 52; 5'2"; San Diego, CA

Starting weight:- 173 pounds
Goal weight this month:- 169
Target goal weight:- 140

We can do this! One step at a time, one pound at a time!

01 Dec: Did not weigh.
02 Dec: 173
03 Dec: 173
04 Dec: 172.8
05 Dec: 172.2
06 Dec: 172
07 Dec: Did not weigh
08 Dec: 171.8
7 days since weighing. Down 1.2 pounds. Have committed this time around to lose 1lb per week, possibly less. It's hard to realize that the older I am, the harder it is to lose and dropping 5lbs in a week is just not realistic anymore. I'm trying to re-set that thought process and commit to logging every day and losing 1lb per week.

Looking at all the posters' numbers, and seeing your 'slow but sure' numbers coming down - had I committed to this 2 months ago, I would be down 8lbs by now!

09 Dec: 171.8 Treadmill 30 mins.
10 Dec: 172 Treadmill 30mins. Felt a tweek lower back in the last 2 mins, been uncomfortable all day.Will probably take a break tomorrow.
11 Dec: 171.8 No exercise; food on track
12 Dec: 171.8
13 Dec: 172.2
14 Dec: 172 Ugh. Need to try harder.
15 Dec: 170.4 Wait, whaaaaat? OK, so a full week of yo-yoing and suddenly it drops. I'll take it, but hope it sticks.

Down 1.4 since last week. Staying on track, logging every day. Woke up with a horrible sore throat, several students at school were sick last week, although I have a very strong immune system, it seems its got me this time around.

16 Dec: 170.4

Goal weight this month 14st 8
Target goal weight 11st 0

Started 9th Nov.  Nov lost: 10.4lb

01 Dec: 14st 12.8 (+0.7lb) - Impact of Chinese takeaway on Friday and cinema popcorn yesterday...
02 Dec: 14st 11.7 (-1.1lb / -0.4lb) -  mainly water loss, but I'm happy
03 Dec: 14st 11.5 (-0.2lb / -0.6lb)
04 Dec: 14st 9.9 (-1.6lb / -2.2lb) - Been on track this week, but surprise at this movement.
05 Dec: 14st 10.1 (+0.2lb / -2.0lb)
06 Dec: 14st 9.5 (-0.6lb / -2.6lb) - Still on track with food, but really need to do some exercise!
07 Dec: 14st 9.2 (-0.3lb / -2.9lb) - Food under goal and had active day yesterday 12.8k steps.
08 Dec: 14st 9.1 (-0.1lb / -3.0lb)
09 Dec: 14st 8.7 (-0.4lb / -3.4lb) still keeping to goal calories.  Also trying in drink more water. 
10 Dec: 14st 7.9 (-0.8lb /  -4.2lb). Really happy.  Have now lost just over a stone since starting my weight loss about a month ago!  Have now also hit my goal for December - I will keep going though as I know there may be a bit of excessive eating later in the month that needs negating!
11 Dec: 14st 7.5 (-0.4lb / -4.6lb)
12 Dec: 14st 6.7 (-0.8lb / -5.4lb) TOTM started yesterday, and am feeling so hungry.  My goal is set to 1.5lb a week in MFP, but think I need to raise my calories allowed to get through TOTM without a huge binge.
13 Dec: 14st 7.7 (+1.0lb / -4.4lb).  Only ate just over 900 cal yesterday - had planned a special pudding to have once kids had gone to bed, but started having horrendous period cramps, so just crawled in bed and  stayed there and never finished what I had planned to eat.  Will have to figure out how to fit it into today's budget!  Assuming the fluctuations are TOTM relates so trying not the get frustrated with an increase in the scales!
14 Dec: 14st 5.9 (-1.8lb / -6.2lb)
15 Dec: 14st 6.2 (+0.3lb / -5.9lb) Went to an all you can eat pan Asian restaurant yesterday.  I was very reserved and didn't stuff myself - only real naughtiness was the bottle of prosecco... needless to say, went over my calorie goal (but I believe less than maintenance).
16 Dec: 14st 4.8 (-1.4lb / -7.3lb)
17 Dec: 14st 4.4 (-0.4lb / -7.7lb) Have had a couple of weird days where I have eaten very little until evening dinner (where I then eat majority of calorie allowance) which seems to be paying off on the scales.
