    Heaviest weight: 234
    Starting weight: November 27- 229.6
    Down 1.5 pounds so far

    November 28- 229.3
    I completed my goals yesterday and it feels good. I didn’t drink all 155 ounces of water, but I drank more than I usually do.

    November 29- 229.5
    To be honest, it’s always frustrating to see the scale go back up even though I know it’s part of this game. Right now I should realize that I’m taking baby steps toward getting back into the habit of logging every day. I’m not so worried about going over my calories right now, it’s about getting back into it.

    This morning I ate the rest of the pumpkin roll from Thanksgiving and I thought… “well I blew it for the day!” Then I logged it as breakfast and felt better. One misstep does not ruin everything! Log it, count it, and move on.

    November 30- 228.3 👍
    Feeling great!!
    My hubby and I did a road trip yesterday to pick up my daughter’s bike at college, since it’s getting too cold for her to ride it. I didn’t drink a ton of water since we were in the car for 2 hours each way, so I drank more when we got home. Today I feel thirsty.

    December 1st— 229.6 🧐

    December 2nd— 228.6 😍
    It’s been so busy at work and at home… but it’s been nice to take a moment for myself and time to catch up with logging.

    December 8th —228.1 🥰

    Progress…not perfection…is the goal.

    THIS MONTH’S GOALS:
    💦Drink more water.
    It’s time to flush out! According to my body weight I should be drinking 155 ounces per day.

    💦Stretch/walk for 30 minutes each day.

    💦Take my vitamins

    💦Log my food… all of it.😊

    December 10th — 225.8 🥰 I love soup! It’s easy and hot. Most days I’m running out the door to get to work on time, so I grab a can of Campbell’s Chunky soup and lunch is done! I usually pair it with a bag of pretzels….I just drink more water to compensate for all the salt.

    I’ve been doing soup for dinner, too. Mostly chicken broth with mushrooms and scallions…along with a piece of toast. Seems ti be working for now.

    I have been trying to get under 200 for like 3 years now. Hoping to finally do it this time and stay there 🤞

    Reached my highest weight of 223.2 on Dec 1st and that gave me the motivation (and kick in the b*tt) to start eating healthy again.

    My first short term goal was to get under 220 which I achieved 4 days ago. Next is to get under 215 by January 🤞

    Started my journey at 305# in august of 21 and as of yesterday morning I’m down to 242. I’ve have MFP for a month now and just count the community side of it all. It will be nice to have others help with the extra motivation when I need it.

    I look at December as our “getting back into good habits” month. Be kind to yourself and don’t overdo things.

    Happy Holidays to you all!

    Hi 👋 can I join. I am a serial yo-yo dieter. I know I can lose weight because I lost 50lbs 2/3 years ago. Really want to get there again. My main things I’m doing is drink more water, no alcohol and count calories. Right now I’m weighing in at 232lbs. First mini goal is to get to 229… 💪
