Dec 1: 145.6. Met my goals.
Dec 2: 145.2 Met my goals.
Dec 3: 143.8. Finally some of the Thanksgiving water gain is going.
Dec 4: 143.2. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 5: 142.6. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 6: 144.2. Weight up this morning but I'm not going to panic. Daily drops and rises are just noise. Keeping focus on long term changes. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 7: 143.6. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 8: 142. Didn't walk yesterday but met my other goals.
Dec 9: 141.8. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 10: 142.6. Didn't walk yesterday but met my other goals.
Dec 11: 142.6 again. Didn't walk again but met other goals. I'll get out there today even if it's only around the block.
Dec 12: 141.1. I walked yesterday but went over maintenance calories. Met other goals. Back on track today.
Dec 13. 141.4. Met goals yesterday.
Dec 14. 143. A lot of sodium yesterday. Didn't walk but met other goals yesterday. I'll get out there today.
Dec 15. 141.6. Met goals yesterday. Grateful for this challenge keeping me on track and warm weather today.
Dec 16. 141.6. Met goals yesterday. Another warm day!
Dec 17. 141.3 Met goals yesterday.
Dec 18. 143.6. Ouch. Over calorie goal yesterday, some uncontrolled after dinner eating, and more sodium than usual. Met other goals. Back on track today.
Dec.19. 141.2. Met goals yesterday.
Dec. 20. 142.6. Over calories and some after dinner eating. Met other goals. Back on track today.
Dec.21. 143.2. Met goals yesterday. Not clear if I'm trending down or not. Do I need to make adjustments to daily calories or is the problem that I'm sometimes going over budget? I'll stay the course for now.
Dec 22. 144.2. Way off track today. Letting a stressful situation be an excuse for getting into the Christmas baking treats. Okay, it can stop right here. Back on track right now.
Dec. 23. 144.2. Met goals yesterday except for calorie budget.
Dec. 24. 142.6. Met goals yesterday.

Dec. 26. didn't weigh in, didn't track. I walked.
Dec. 27. 144.8. didn't track yesterday and didn't stay within calorie goal. I did walk. Back to tracking today.
Dec.28. 145. Tracked yesterday and walked. Over calorie target. Weight is back to where I started this month. Time for reflection and new strategies.
Dec.29. 143.4. Met goals yesterday.
Dec.30. 142.2. Met goals yesterday.5 -

🌲December Challenge🌲
Hello members. My name is Mary, 61 years old and my driver's license says 5'7" but I just measured myself and 5' 5 1/4 inches. I wanted to say thanks for the support this group has given to me. I enjoy the sharing of updates as we face our challenges in attaining a healthier version of ourselves.
Goal Weight 179 lbs 4lbs to lose
Highest weight: 204
Current weight: 183
December weight lost so far: 2.5lbs⬇️
December 1 183lbs
My weekly weigh-in is Wednesday. No movement from yesterday.
December 8 182 lbs ⬇️
This has been my most consistent month so far. I prefer the consistency. I have 3 lbs to lose to reach my December goal. I really think we all should applaud the fact that we are on this journey to our healthier version of ourselves in the fun crazy month of December and not forget in a pandemic. 👏👏👏
December 15 180 lbs
So one pound to go to hit my December goal but the next 2 weeks will be filled with snacking and Christmas cheer temptations. My 7 day average weight it 182.2 lbs. I remind myself that because of the awareness that stepping on the scale today was a positive but not constant. Again love this group for the support.
December 22 181 lbs
Wednesday regular weigh-in. Though I am a 1lb more than last Wednesday. My weekly average went down to 180.9 lbs. Feeling pretty good that my weight is constant. 2 more pounds to lose.
December 29 180.5 lbs ⬇️
My regular weigh-in lost 2.5 lbs in December. I will take it. My 7 day average weight was 181lbs. I really enjoy the process of this challenge but with a heavy heart I won't be able to participate the next 3 months. Simply I won't have daily access to a scale to weigh myself. I will be in Mexico for 3 months. I hope I will be allowed to join again for April. I will finish off December.
December 30 180.5 lbs

12/16……189.2…..(Trend Weight 190.3)
12/17.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 190.2)
12/18.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 190.3)….. I’m disappointed and frustrated as yesterday was a better dietary day than I’ve had in awhile. I also moved a lot chasing a toddler grandson around most of the day. No TMI is likely the reason but it still is so disheartening! Shopping today over 100 miles away each way. Restaurants and car sitting won’t help but there will be walking in the stores.
12/19.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 190.4)….. A small drop on the scale after the way I ate yesterday during my travels and city Christmas shopping? I’m sure that lunch and dinner from yesterday (over-abundance) will rear it’s ugly head on the scale in the coming days. It was nice to (mainly) finish my shopping and spend time in the city with my daughter!
12/20.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 190.5)….. I attended a viewing and full memorial service yesterday for a friend I’ve known for 20 years. She was 55. She died suddenly after an asthma attack. She used her inhaler, dropped to the ground and never recovered. Such a shock! It was difficult seeing the extreme grief of her children and her husband. This will be a hard one to get over. I say goodbye and good riddance to 2021!
12/21.…..191.4…..(Trend Weight 190.5)….. I had a full-on binge yesterday of BBQ chips and donuts that I bought at the store when I went to get water. It was so bad that I skipped dinner just to off-set the calories. I feel like death warmed over today. I have none of the energy that good foods would have given me. This is just another example of my food killing me, like a poison because of my relationship with it. I’ve got to do better! I know this was emotional eating. Too many death's this month. But it solves nothing!
12/22.…..192.2…..(Trend Weight 190.7)…..Pros: Meals were on point. Small & Healthy. Cons: Lost track of time but no TMI again (at least x2). Started baking Christmas cookies. Too much taste testing.
12/23.…..191.4…..(Trend Weight 190.8)….. Lots of baking yesterday but I limited the taste testing a bit more. TMI helped my lower number on the scale (finally), but I am not liking that trend weight. It appears to have no faith in me when it goes up as my weight is going down on the scale. Oh Ye of Little Faith. I will show it what I’ve got!
12/24.…..192.4…..(Trend Weight 190.9)….. Not too many holiday snacks and dinner was light but it was very late. Definitely not enough water!
12/25.…..192.0…..(Trend Weight 190.1)….. Slightly better on the scale but weight is still trending up which is pretty scary. Big family dinner is tomorrow. Too much grazing yesterday and today so far. I must stick to meals or it will be a helluva binge tonight!
12/26.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 191.4)…… I gained 2 ½ lbs overnight eating what other people eat everyday. It’s just not fair! I didn’t even have lunch! I admit to the taste testing of the fudge and the snack of a couple of cookies but, come on! 2 ½ pounds. What in the world have I done to my metabolism? Christmas family feast tonight will only make matters worse!
12/27.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 191.5)…… Okay, so TMI took care of that huge overnight weight gain. Our family feast was last night for the Holiday so my scale is up 0.6 from two days ago which is probably fair. Now, to get through the leftovers without too much damage!
12/28.…..193.6…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… I became very ill after the family Christmas party and dinner Sunday night. The pasta last night was easy on the throat but hard on the scale apparently.
12/29.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… My appetite is just fine but otherwise I am so sick. Huge head cold leaving me in my jammies and unable to function in most things. I hope this passes quickly. I’m double vaccinated and boosted and no one else in my home (or family after our gathering) is sick so I don’t think it’s covid. I do know it’s horrid!

12/30.…..192.0…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… Sickness getting worse. Moving into chest now. Lots of phlegm. Throat hurts from the coughing, not illness but it’s bad pain. Pressure in ears. Still no temp. I am hearing about other illness in my general area. Omnicon not within 150 miles of my county. Only 9 counties in Michigan affected and they are all downstate so I don’t think that is involved still. Good small meals yesterday of good choices but there was Christmas cookies and only 4000 steps as I layed on the couch most of the day.

December 12 - 189.6 (Watched two movies in the theatre but did a few types of exercise at night to keep myself active.)

December 14 - 191.6 (Very cold outside so I rode the Peloton at lunch instead. Even the dog doesn't want to go out!)

December 18 - 187.4 (Started my morning with an FTP test on the Peloton and was pleased with my improved fitness level. It's lovely to get my exercise out of the way early... not that I don't have more movement planned, but the hard stuff is done!)

December 20 - 188.2 (Fourth day in a row weighing in the 180's... had a streak like this last week before bouncing up again so hoping to make tomorrow five! Yesterday my husband and I made homemade cabbage rolls.. lots of steps and time on my feet.)
December 21 - 188.6 (Met my goal of a longer streak in the 180's than last week. Woo hoo! Had an unplanned dinner out yesterday but I kept it reasonable and did a bit more exercise at night to off-set it.)
December 22 - 186.2 (Fun dinner out with friends last night at a restaurant that has turned into a Christmas themed pop-up restaurant for the month of December. Pre-selected my drink and food before I got there so I was able to stay on track.)
December 23 - 187.8 (Happy to be holding steadily in the 180's. Good training ride on the bike yesterday and a fun dinner with friends. The two hard days for me food wise will be the 24th and 25th. Goal still remains to enter 2022 in the 180's so I should be on track for that no matter what!)
December 24 - 189.2 (Well folks, the holidays are upon us! Take time with loved ones and remember what is important.... the company of those you love! And being gentle with ourselves around small breaks for the habits we're employing most of the year.)

December 29 - 191 (Couple days left to work myself back down to the 180's. I am eating at a deficit and back in my routine so just waiting for my body to catch up. I got my COVID booster today.)
December 30 - 190.6 (Down I go! Had a nice day yesterday with a later supper than normal but it was so tasty. My husband is a great cook. We leave in a couple days for a short trip to see my Dad so I'll be mostly eating just under maintenance for the next week or so.)

Ok, that's not so bad! I can live with 1.2lbs gain for all the fun I had in December! I'd been dieting for 5 solid months so a break was due anyway. I'm 24lbs lighter than I was 2 years ago, no idea what I was this time last year but at a guess, I was at least 30lbs heavier, so that's awesome! Ready to get back on it now, after one last blow out tonight and a new year's day breakfast tomorrow, then on with the hard work.
Happy new year to all you champions!4 -

🌲December Challenge🌲
Hello members. My name is Mary, 61 years old and my driver's license says 5'7" but I just measured myself and 5' 5 1/4 inches. I wanted to say thanks for the support this group has given to me. I enjoy the sharing of updates as we face our challenges in attaining a healthier version of ourselves.
Goal Weight 179 lbs 4lbs to lose
Highest weight: 204
Current weight: 183
December weight lost so far: 3 lbs⬇️
December 1 183lbs
My weekly weigh-in is Wednesday. No movement from yesterday.
December 8 182 lbs ⬇️
This has been my most consistent month so far. I prefer the consistency. I have 3 lbs to lose to reach my December goal. I really think we all should applaud the fact that we are on this journey to our healthier version of ourselves in the fun crazy month of December and not forget in a pandemic. 👏👏👏
December 15 180 lbs
So one pound to go to hit my December goal but the next 2 weeks will be filled with snacking and Christmas cheer temptations. My 7 day average weight it 182.2 lbs. I remind myself that because of the awareness that stepping on the scale today was a positive but not constant. Again love this group for the support.
December 22 181 lbs
Wednesday regular weigh-in. Though I am a 1lb more than last Wednesday. My weekly average went down to 180.9 lbs. Feeling pretty good that my weight is constant. 2 more pounds to lose.
December 29 180.5 lbs ⬇️
My regular weigh-in lost 2.5 lbs in December. I will take it. My 7 day average weight was 181lbs. I really enjoy the process of this challenge but with a heavy heart I won't be able to participate the next 3 months. Simply I won't have daily access to a scale to weigh myself. I will be in Mexico for 3 months. I hope I will be allowed to join again for April. I will finish off December.
December 30 180.5 lbs
December 31 180 lbs
Well this the end of 2021 and December. Short a pound of my goal but happy I did not gain and lost 3 lbs.3 -

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

12/16……189.2…..(Trend Weight 190.3)
12/17.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 190.2)
12/18.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 190.3)….. I’m disappointed and frustrated as yesterday was a better dietary day than I’ve had in awhile. I also moved a lot chasing a toddler grandson around most of the day. No TMI is likely the reason but it still is so disheartening! Shopping today over 100 miles away each way. Restaurants and car sitting won’t help but there will be walking in the stores.
12/19.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 190.4)….. A small drop on the scale after the way I ate yesterday during my travels and city Christmas shopping? I’m sure that lunch and dinner from yesterday (over-abundance) will rear it’s ugly head on the scale in the coming days. It was nice to (mainly) finish my shopping and spend time in the city with my daughter!
12/20.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 190.5)….. I attended a viewing and full memorial service yesterday for a friend I’ve known for 20 years. She was 55. She died suddenly after an asthma attack. She used her inhaler, dropped to the ground and never recovered. Such a shock! It was difficult seeing the extreme grief of her children and her husband. This will be a hard one to get over. I say goodbye and good riddance to 2021!
12/21.…..191.4…..(Trend Weight 190.5)….. I had a full-on binge yesterday of BBQ chips and donuts that I bought at the store when I went to get water. It was so bad that I skipped dinner just to off-set the calories. I feel like death warmed over today. I have none of the energy that good foods would have given me. This is just another example of my food killing me, like a poison because of my relationship with it. I’ve got to do better! I know this was emotional eating. Too many death's this month. But it solves nothing!
12/22.…..192.2…..(Trend Weight 190.7)…..Pros: Meals were on point. Small & Healthy. Cons: Lost track of time but no TMI again (at least x2). Started baking Christmas cookies. Too much taste testing.
12/23.…..191.4…..(Trend Weight 190.8)….. Lots of baking yesterday but I limited the taste testing a bit more. TMI helped my lower number on the scale (finally), but I am not liking that trend weight. It appears to have no faith in me when it goes up as my weight is going down on the scale. Oh Ye of Little Faith. I will show it what I’ve got!
12/24.…..192.4…..(Trend Weight 190.9)….. Not too many holiday snacks and dinner was light but it was very late. Definitely not enough water!
12/25.…..192.0…..(Trend Weight 190.1)….. Slightly better on the scale but weight is still trending up which is pretty scary. Big family dinner is tomorrow. Too much grazing yesterday and today so far. I must stick to meals or it will be a helluva binge tonight!
12/26.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 191.4)…… I gained 2 ½ lbs overnight eating what other people eat everyday. It’s just not fair! I didn’t even have lunch! I admit to the taste testing of the fudge and the snack of a couple of cookies but, come on! 2 ½ pounds. What in the world have I done to my metabolism? Christmas family feast tonight will only make matters worse!
12/27.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 191.5)…… Okay, so TMI took care of that huge overnight weight gain. Our family feast was last night for the Holiday so my scale is up 0.6 from two days ago which is probably fair. Now, to get through the leftovers without too much damage!
12/28.…..193.6…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… I became very ill after the family Christmas party and dinner Sunday night. The pasta last night was easy on the throat but hard on the scale apparently.
12/29.…..191.2…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… My appetite is just fine but otherwise I am so sick. Huge head cold leaving me in my jammies and unable to function in most things. I hope this passes quickly. I’m double vaccinated and boosted and no one else in my home (or family after our gathering) is sick so I don’t think it’s covid. I do know it’s horrid!
12/30.…..192.0…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… Sickness getting worse. Moving into chest now. Lots of phlegm. Throat hurts from the coughing, not illness but it’s bad pain. Pressure in ears. Still no temp. I am hearing about other illness in my general area. Omnicon not within 150 miles of my county. Only 9 counties in Michigan affected and they are all downstate so I don’t think that is involved still. Good small meals yesterday of good choices but there was Christmas cookies and only 4000 steps as I layed on the couch most of the day.
12/31.…..191.6…..(Trend Weight 191.7)…… Still so sick. December 31, 2020 my weight was at 207.0. Down 15.4 pounds. I plan on working even harder in 2022. Happy New Year everyone!

Dec 4: 143.2. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 5: 142.6. Met my goals yesterday.
Dec 6: 144.2. Weight up this morning but I'm not going to panic. Daily drops and rises are just noise. Keeping focus on long term changes. Met my goals yesterday.

Dec. 20. 142.6. Over calories and some after dinner eating. Met other goals. Back on track today.

Dec 22. 144.2. Way off track today. Letting a stressful situation be an excuse for getting into the Christmas baking treats. Okay, it can stop right here. Back on track right now.

Hello Everyone!
I'm Mary 64, 5'4" from Pennsylvania. My goal is to get back down AGAIN to 122 lbs. Kept it off for about 5 years and then got lazy. My body just stores Carbs too easily. I work long hours and exercise on my 3 off days/week, making up for my 4 work days. I started this challenge in November and will continue through December and January. Great group of motivating members! Thank you Jill! My goal is 5 lbs for December. My other goal is 15 lbs for Nov, Dec and Jan. JOIN US!
🌲December Challenge🌲
Highest weight: 255 lbs (twice) :-(
November 1 weight-181.8 lbs
November goal-5 lbs
November loss-5.6 lbs :-)
December 1 weight-176.2 lbs
December goal-5 lbs
Current weight today-168 lbs SAD! Had been down to 165.6 lbs. :-(
December weight lost so far: -8.2 lbs :-)
Nov/Dec/Jan weight loss so far (Goal-15 lbs): -13.8 lbs :-)
Loss since 9/14/20-87 lbs :-)
December 1-176.2 lbs. Pre logged yesterday for today and Pre logged tomorrow. Stayed within my calories, carbs and water minimum.
December 2-176.2 lbs Pre logged for tomorrow.
December 3-175 lbs
December 4-173.8 lbs! I'm No Longer Obese by BMI charts! I'm overweight now! Even as a RN I don't dwell on BMI. I have always weighed more than what people think. My boys are all the same way. Solid. My one son in the military when he was about 4-6% body fat was Obese on a BMI chart. So...
I'm wearing size 10 jeans but put on a pair of 8's today and easily zipped them up, but not wearing them because my flabby belly hangs out over bad. Did my Elliptical for 222 minutes for 16.3 miles today.
December 5-171.8 lbs. Did 224 minutes on my Elliptical for 14.25 miles. I was obviously moving at a slower pace since I didn't get to my usual 15-16 mile range. Thrilled by the swoosh of weight though today!
December 6-172.8 lbs-Stayed on track so hopefully just my usual uptick before a drop! Worked today, off tomorrow so will be on my elliptical again.
December 7-171.2 lbs Was on my Elliptical for 250 minutes/18 miles. Had a Nursing conference dinner at a restaurant and figured I would make sure I had more than enough for a calorie deficit. Pre logged today for tomorrow. Had 150 oz of water today.
December 8-171.2 lbs Thought I would have a drop today but maybe tomorrow.
December 9-171.2 lbs. :-( Didn't drop yet. 220 minutes on my Elliptical today for 14 miles.
December 10-172.2 lbs :-( Still no drop. Had stayed on point so it has to be my usual uptick before a drop.
December 11-172.2 lbs :-( Still no drop again! Getting a bit old. But tomorrow is my official weigh in day for a couple challenges. So.... hopefully tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Going to a work holiday party tonight. Its a Rock N Bowl. Just us no families. To hang out other than at work. Where things are hectic at times with patients. They are having pizza but they also planned some Keto friendly items, like unbreaded chicken for at least 1 other girl and me. I'm also taking some of my own snacks. Hard boiled eggs, cheese and some pecans, just in case. And I ate dinner at home.
December 12-170.8 lbs Well it's a drop. I was hoping for more than 0.4 lbs, like getting into the 160's as I have been staying on track. But I have met my December goal ALREADY!
Glad I took my own snacks to my work bowling party last night. We had some much fun, even though the majority of us stunk at the games. I hadn't bowled in probably 20 years at least! They had pizza, BREADED chicken nuggets and french fries. I didn't indulge in it at all. I ate a hardboiled egg, a colby jack string cheese and water.
Did 242 minutes on my Elliptical today for 17 miles and my fat percentage is coming down on my scale.
December 13-172.0 :-( Ugh!!!! Again hopefully the usual uptick before a drop because I have stayed on track.
December 14-169.4 lbs :-) Yessss! Finally into the 160's! But now I can't wait to get into the 150's. I got a later start today. I only did 140 minutes on my elliptical for 11 miles today.
December 15-170.6 lbs
December 16-170.6 lbs
December 17-170.6 lbs- Have been having some very long work days, so logging 15th, 16th and 17th today. Gosh I really dislike my usual uptick after a drop! :-(
December 18-170.6 lbs :-( Elliptical today 137 minutes for 9.1 miles.
December 19-169.6 lbs :-) Starting back down again. Elliptical today for 140 minutes for 9.15 miles.
December 20-171.0 lbs. :-( Ugh!
December 21-168.2 lbs! Yippee! :-) Hopefully my next "usual uptick" won't go into the 170's again. I really dislike that uptick before a drop and going into the upper 10 lbs is worse than staying in the one I have achieved.(160 range is better than the 170's). Didn't do my Elliptical this AM. I had a hair appointment. (A girl has her priorities!) And hopefully finishing my Christmas shopping after it. Maybe will get to it later tonight. I'm off tomorrow and plan to do my baking, pies and Pumpkin rolls, as I'm working Thursday and Friday.
December 22-168.2 lbs I was out Christmas shopping yesterday, after my hair appointment, till 10:30 PM! I didn't eat since 10 AM but drank water. I was barely hungry. Ate meat and veggie when I got home and then some pumpkin custard made with erythritol, I made a few days ago. Helped me to not actually eat my pumpkie pie. Didn't get on the elliptical last PM but I did get on today. 150 minutes for 10.1 miles. Today is my baking day, as I work Thursday and Friday.
December 23-167.2 lbs
December 24-167.2 lbs
December 25-167.2 lbs I behaved today, prime rib, roasted broccoli, cauliflower, pepper medley and spring mix salad with strawberries, feta and nuts with no dressing. Then a piece of pumpkin cheesecake. Stayed within my calories. Did 180 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 11.3 miles.
December 26-165.6 lbs Down 89.4 lbs! Met my Nov/Dec/Jan goal already! I got through 2 festive, BIG food holidays and didn't gain! I will not slow down on my part but continue on as I have been. I'm not saying if the scale will cooperate and continue on dropping as it has though. Wearing my size 8 jeans today and a medium flannel shirt I haven't worn since 2014! Did 240 minutes on my Elliptical for 16 miles. A 90 lb loss is just around the corner for me and 100 is just around the bend!
December 27-167 lbs. My usual uptick. :-(
December 28-168.8 lbs. :-( Yuck! Did 240 minutes on my Elliptical for 16.6 miles. Ate at Texas Roadhouse tonight. Probably a uptick tomorrow from Sodium most likely.
December 29-169.6 lbs
December 30-169.6 lbs
December 31-168 lbs
