    MFP Starting Weight: 251.3 lbs on Nov 22, 2020
    December Starting Weight: 245.3 lbs (Nov ending weight)
    December goal: To be at or below 232 lbs

    Week 1
    12/1 - 245.0 lbs
    12/2 - 243.8 lbs
    12/3 - 243.6 lbs
    12/4 - 242.4 lbs
    12/5 - 242.0 lbs
    12/6 - 241.0 lbs
    12/7 - 241.4 lbs
    Week 1 summary: (3.9) lbs lost, 98k steps, 17 exercise miles, average calorie deficit =(1.7k)

    Week 2
    12/8 - 241.4 lbs - a little frustrated by my mini-plateau I've hit, but am keeping up with maintaining my desired calorie deficit, and will add drinking more water and getting some extra sleep tonight, as I've not been getting enough!
    12/9 - 239.8 - woohoo! exited to have broken through my mini-plateau, and to be out of the 240s!
    12/10 - 239.4 - didn't get specific exercise in yesterday, but did hit 13k steps.
    12/11 - 239.4 - yesterday was on track. Guessing the new fiber supplement I started taking is causing some water retention.
    12/12 - 239.2
    12/13 - 239.9 - no reason for an increase, I've been on track with eating & exercising. Will drink extra water today...
    12/14 - 238.9 - going back in the right direction
    Week 2 summary: (2.5) lbs lost, 83k steps, 13 exercise miles, average calorie deficit =(1.6k)

    Week 3
    12/15 - 238.1 - woohoo!
    12/16 - 240.0 - I ate poorly yesterday, but I should've still had a small calorie deficit. I certainly didn't eat enough to gain 2 lbs!! I'm assuming this is all temporary and should drop off soon. Will up my water & eat light today.
    12/17 - 237.8
    12/18 - 238.2- ate too much yesterday. will do better today!
    12/19 - 238.8 - no idea why it went up again. it's getting a little frustrating.
    12/20 - 235.6 - yay! I feel this drop was overdue
    12/21 - 235.5 - soooo close to hitting a 10# loss in December. 3.5# to lose in 10 days to hit my goal of 232 for the month.
    Week 3 summary: (3.4) lbs lost, 89k steps, 18 exercise miles, average calorie deficit =(1.3k)

    Week 4
    12/22 - 234.7 - yay! steady progress. I had Starbucks and a Whopper Jr. yesterday but still met my deficit goal.
    12/23 - 235.6 - yesterday I went overboard with some late night snacking. Most of this should be temporary.
    12/24 - 235.0
    12/25 - 232.4
    12/26 - 233.2 - I actually got 19k steps in yesterday and ate very reasonably, but I think this is rebound from the extra big drop from the 24th to the 25th, which was partially water weight due to a long, late workout right before bed on the 24th.
    12/27 - 233.5 - yesterday was a bad food day. Determined to finish the month strong! 4 more weigh-ins! I can totally hit my goal of 232 if I stay on track.
    12/28 - 233.1
    Week 4 summary: (2.4) lbs lost, 108k steps, 29 exercise miles, average calorie deficit =(1.4k)

    Week 5
    12/29 - 233.7 - an unwarranted and unappreciated increase! Hoping a loss will catch up with me soon.
    12/30 – 232.4 – finally back at my current-low I hit on Christmas. Hoping to drop to 232 tomorrow!

    MFP Starting Weight:235
    December starting weight:207.2
    December Goal Weight: 202.2
    December total weight loss:

    Week 1
    12/1 – 207.6 Not a good start!
    12/2 - 206.8 That’s what I like to see!
    12/3 – 206.2 Better!
    12/4 – 203.6 I shed a lot of fluid last night. I’ll see my true weight when rehydrated.
    12/5 – 203.8 Rehydrated and happy with the number I’m seeing.
    12/6 – 203.4 Happy with the continued progress. Trying to watch the snacks!
    12/7 – 202.6 Light meals, rationed the crackers in my soup and didn’t die without half a pack in there. It paid off.
    Week 2
    12/8 – 203.4 A bit up due to a very very late dinner. I should have eaten slower and had a little less (a little earlier) but the situation was a little out of my control. Today I will strive to do better as I will have a little more privacy at home today.
    12/9 – 204.0 Donuts brought over by a friend. My trigger food!
    12/10 -204.2 Gotta stop this runaway train!
    12/11 – 204.2
    12/12 – 204.2 Okay, let’s get rolling!
    12/13 – 203.2 Worked hard at a lower calorie day with fewer carbs. I just wish I’d had a bit more movement.
    12/14 – 203.4 I confess to the Christmas treats.
    Week 3
    12/15 – 205.0 Hanging out with friends is bad for me until I have more self-control!
    12/16 – 205.0 I’m going to try to make a difference today in a bigger way. The math is simple. When I have a bad day, I’ve got to subtract with a good day.
    12/17 – 205.2 I did not do the math.
    12/18 – 205.0 Traveled today. A very long day. We’ll see how the scales judge in the morning.
    12/19 – 205.4 I honestly thought this would be worse. I’ll say what the next few days hold. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to show up on the scale.
    12/20 – 206.0 It’s catching up to me. No movement yesterday either, just lots of wrapping!
    12/21 – 206.0 Some pretty good activity yesterday in the form of housekeeping but today Amazon is back on the deliveries so there will be lots of wrapping. Tomorrow is baking day and fudge making for Christmas with my daughter. Wish me luck!
    Week 4
    12/22 – 204.8 Trying to keep it reasonable. Dropped a little overnight in anticipation for the cookie and fudge making today. I see the scale going up tomorrow.
    12/23 – 205.0 Not bad after all the baking. Gotta be careful today about eating too much of it. It’s for others!
    12/24 – xxxxx I didn’t get to weigh in this morning because the septic cleaning woke me up banging on my door 2 hours before our scheduled appointment. I grabbed clothes and coffee and then it was too late to weigh. My meals were good, my movement not bad yesterday but I did eat some cookies….
    12/25 – 205.4 Cookies for lunch hurts the hips. Merry Christmas Everyone!
    12/26 – 205.4 My family Christmas dinner is tomorrow. I will expect an uptick on the scale.
    12/27 – 203.2 This puts me closer to goal, however my Christmas Dinner and gift exchange with all my children and grandchildren is today. That will push the weight back up. Perhaps if I am diligent starting tomorrow, I can get closer to goal? However, tomorrow’s scale will be higher so I will be not have much time to compensate afterward,
    12/28 – 205.2 Back up after my family Christmas Dinner yesterday. Lots of sodium-filled foods.
    Final Week
    12/29 – 206.0 Wine
    12/30 – 206.0 Poured the wine out but had Chinese for dinner. 2nd half of dinner today. Lots of water in my future.

    Hi, I'm back again, hoping to do better this month. I know for sure that regardless of if I meet my goal for the month or not, this challenge helps me, I have been a member of MFP since I turned 60, I am now 69. Until this challenge which I started in October, I haven't really participated or posted much, in fact I only put my actual picture here in Oct. after being a member for 9 years. Even though I still fall back on bad habits and thoughts of "I can't do this, It's too much effort, etc. etc." This forum seems to be sneaking into my doubts with little thoughts of "maybe I can do it, it's not that much effort, etc. etc." I'm still staying in the back ground a bit but I now have a record of the last 3 months and know that I'm further ahead than I would have been without it.


    MFP Starting Weight: 273lbs. approx.
    December starting weight:243lbs.
    December total weight loss:
    December goals: track, track, track and lose 5lbs.


    Week 1
    12/2: 243lbs.

    Week 2
    12/9: 243 lbs.

    Week 3
    12/16: 242lbs.

    Week 4
    12/23: 240.25 Not doing well tracking, but this little loss will keep me watchful and hopeful

    Final Week
    12/30: 243 lbs. The only thing I can say is I'm pretty sure without this forum I would have done worse than this. I look forward to a January challenge.

    December goal: Maintain

    Week 1
    12/01 - 179.8
    12/02 - 176.6 doggone gluten spike yesterday...why do I keep doing this to myself?
    12/03 - 176.8
    12/04 - 178.2 gluten again yesterday...
    12/05 - 176.8 well, at least I'm consistent with the fluctuations
    12/06 - 176.6
    12/07 - 176.4

    Week 2
    12/08 - 177.0
    12/09 - 175.6 see what happens when you stay away from gluten? the water starts to fade away
    12/10 - 175.4 why is it that if my goal is to lose, I maintain or even gain; and if my goal is to maintain, I lose???? I truly defeat myself mentally...in both diet and exercise.
    12/11 - 175.0
    12/12 - 175.2
    12/13 - 175.4
    12/14 - 175.6

    Week 3
    12/15 - 177.8 WHY???????
    12/16 - 177.8 points for consistency :-)
    12/17 - 177.8
    12/18 - 178.8 yes my Dec goal is to maintain, but secretly I wanted to lose this month.
    12/19
    12/20
    12/21 - 178.0

    Week 4
    12/22 - 178.4
    12/23 - 179.4
    12/24
    12/25
    12/26
    12/27
    12/28 - 180.0

    Final Week
    12/29 - 177.8
    12/30 - 179.4
    12/31 - 179.4

    OK, so definitely no loss during December, but I'll take it as a win. I decided my goal for the month was to maintain, and I accomplished that. January's goal is to lose! Happy New Year!


    Do we have a January thread?
