    A bit late, but like the accountability, so joining in! Wanting to get some baby (toddler) weight off

    Original MFP Starting Weight: 211
    November End (Dec Starting) Weight: 198
    December Goal Weight: 196
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 180

    Would really like to get exercise back into my routine, but struggling between a toddler, COVID, & returning to work

    The scale has been stubborn for the last 10 days!

    Good luck everyone! We got this!💪💪🏽

    I love it that you're trying to make a SMALL goal for the month. A half pound every week would be 26 pounds in a year. Keep that steady pace and you'll get to your goal weight in July! Seems like a long way off, but starting today gets you there quicker than starting in January!

    I liked someone’s challenge which was just not to gain over December. I think that’s a good goal for me right now.

    I increased my daily calorie deficit (I use a FitBit for exercise calories) to 500kcal, because sleeping more meant I was burning less, and it seems to have worked.

    Weight loss seems to be stalling a little, for which I think I can thank late night snacks this week. Glad not to be gaining though!

    Total loss for November: I am pretty close to where I started the month, but that's not all a bad thing because the first couple weeks of the month my mass kept going up. I seem to have found the end of that and am once again working back down to the middle of my maintenance range even with buttermilk biscuits and potato latkes.

    I believe this is the swoosh I’ve been waiting for. With a week of virtual celebrations ahead (Christmas & 2 birthdays) I’m trying to be realistic, this may increase for the next weigh-in

    2kg down so far this month! 💪🏻 I was not expecting that, but I guess a Christmastime without parties, family or having friends round has left me a lot more control over what I eat than usual. I would normally eat to please others when they have worked hard to please me by preparing something special, but there have been no such opportunities this December.

    Also, my boyfriend bought me Just Dance so I’ve been getting some heart-healthy cardio in nearly every night since I opened it.

    Hopefully by next December I’ll be maintaining my goal weight and have a December filled with temptation and friends.

    Yes, I hope there will be a January Challenge! So very needed after December, the month of celebration and baked goods! Thanks for this challenge!

    2.4kg (5.3lb!) for December! I think knowing I was going to post here helped. Also, I’m just at a stage where I can notice even the smallest loss in my face and body, whereas when I’m moving from podgy to slightly less podgy, I don’t really notice.
