Just give me one month - January 2020

I found the accountability of weighing every day and checking in here motivating - only been at it one month, but thought I'd start the new month.

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

Original starting weight Dec 2019:- 173 pounds
January 2020 starting weight:-
Goal weight this month January 2020:- 164 lbs
Target goal weight:- 140 lbs

Dec 2019:- SW: 173 (-3.6 lbs)
Jan 2020:- SW:

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

    Silly question... do I need to post a new post each time? Or can I edit the original? (I could edit yesterday it seems but not today?) Anyway, if I CAN edit, please teach me how. I am usually technologically-inclined but not so much in 2020, I guess. Lol

    Starting weight: 170.8
    Starting weight this month: 140.2
    Goal weight this month: 134
    Target goal weight: I’m not sure yet, shooting for 130 first.

    August: lost 5.5 pounds
    September: lost 5 pounds
    October: lost 10 pounds
    November: lost 5 pounds
    December: lost 5.6 pounds

    This month will be way different then usual. Doing the Daniel Fast starting Jan 5th for 21 days, for spiritual reasons. So my workouts will probably suffer a little and I will probably lose weight fast in those 21 days.

    Jan 01: 140.2

    Starting weight: 163.4 lb
    Start weight this month: 147.8
    Goal weight this month: 140
    Target goal weight: 128

    August: lost 1.2 lb
    September: lost 4.2 lb
    October: lost 3.7 lb
    November: lost 3.9 lb
    December: lost 4.3 lb (but ended high due to New Year’s)

    (I use Happy Scale, so the losses above are determined by moving average. I will post my actual daily weight below.)

    01 Jan: 147.8 (my lowest in Dec was 144.6) Definitely indulged for a couple of days at the beach for New Year’s with family. I expect this to go down quickly after a few days back to my normal routine....hopefully, anyways!
