    Considering I usually gain between Oct-Dec with all the holidays and food galore if I could just maintain I’d be happy but yes loosing would be a bonus! Setting a goal of 10 pounds to be realistic and still enjoy the tastes of the season. Good Luck Everyone!

    I think we get off very lightly in the UK this time of year, we only have Halloween which is mainly only done by those with young kids, ditto for Bonfire night, then it's just Christmas, Diwali etc for those that celebrate them. Not too many pitfalls! For those in the US, it seems like such a minefield of food centred festivals that stretch for weeks throughout autumn and winter! I don't think my willpower would stand up to it!

    @39flavours true and there’s constant exposure to goodies for months on end. The Halloween candy was out in August. Last year with the pandemic I didn’t even host any holidays but still cooked for an Army. Keeping the gatherings minimal this year again but knowing my pitfalls going to intentionally dial back. If we celebrate only on the holiday I think I’d appreciate it more. Usually the festivities begin weeks in advance and it turns into months. Definitely going to be more mindful and take a different approach this year. Spent too many New Years shedding the holiday pudge only to regain for the next New Year. Determined to change that tradition this year! Best wishes to you and your fitness journey!

    I have been hovering around 160 lb for too long. Would like to get to 150, but just getting out of this stall would be great.

    This is my weekly check in. I’m 14lbs down, would have been 15 but seem t9 have a gained a pound overnight, due to not drinking enough water yesterday. So I’m currently 36lbs above my goal for January 1st.

    Have to add I’m so glad we don’t have such constant eating fests here! I couldn’t cope with having thanksgiving and all the food and then rolling onto Christmas. Luckily we only really have about ten days where it gets stupid, if you don’t count work and social Christmas events. I’d never lose weight if Christmas eating started in November! Well done to those who do!

    I understand this — I’ve been bouncing around the same 10-lbs since the beginning of June - even though at a weekly calorie deficit the entire time. I’m being patient since I think it’s stress caused but at times it’s extremely frustrating.

    Happy scale seems to have given up on me, as of this morning, after my wild weight swings the last few weeks. Apparently my 7lbs gain over the weekend was the last straw. Says it can’t calculate current rate of weight loss anymore. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

    Finally scale moving again. Seem to be dropping that water weight from too much sodium and carbs

    24.2 pounds to goal. It won't be easy to make it by Jan 1, but I'm still hoping to make a good dent in it one way or another.

    I have a goal for 31st Dec so basically yes! I want to get to 140lbs by then. I hope to get there by mid December really so that I can have a bit of buffer room for Christmas and New Year. I'm at 157lbs now so that gives me 3 months to lose 17lbs which is just over 1lb a week- might be doable but f I don't quite make it then no biggy, it just gives me a head start on the 'New Year, New Me' lot 😜
    Once I get to 140lbs I think I'll try and maintain for a while and focus on my fitness then try to lose another 10lbs or so by early summer.

    HW 180.1...7th July 2021
    CW 156.6...14th Sept 2021
    GW 140.0... 31st Dec 2021

    I'm going to update my progress every 2 weeks

    January 1 Goal: 208.5
    September 28 Weight: 228.4
    Pounds to goal: 19.9
    Weeks to January 1: 13.5
    Pounds/Week to Meet Goal: 1.47 (round to 1.5)

    Definitely a stretch goal, but doable. If I can get under 210, that'll work as well.
    208.9 officially moves me out of the obese weight class. Want to give myself roughly half a pound of wiggle room.

    Will measure back in on Saturday so I can measure in whole week amounts.
