    Original Starting Weight (Jan/21): 293
    December Starting Weight: 170.8
    Target Maintenance Range: 160-165

    Dec 1: 170.8 (Starting December 0.8 higher than November. I am going on a 3 week vacation in 2 months and I'd like to be back to my maintenance range by then. Very cold and snowy here today. Happy December! We have a Christmas potluck at work today.)

    Dec 4: 174.2 (Great weekend full of fun. Clearly I had a lot of indulgence. We had dinners with friends, checked out a Christmas market, did an afternoon tea, got our house set up for Christmas, and welcomed my dad who will be staying with us for weeks. Tis the season!)

    Hello all, I’m Amanda from Michigan. I have some scary medical procedures this month (Dec 2, 5, 6) but otherwise would like to lose or maintain. I lost 49 pounds since March and gained 4 back last month. I worked hard to lose those 49 and I know it’s easy to gain.
    Best of luck to all and welcome to any new members!

    SW: 250

    12/3: 205.4
    This month is flying by!
    12/4: 205.3
    I just don’t care today. I have too much to do and too much on my mind. I’m not sleeping well.
    12/5: 205.6
    I guess I’m in maintenance mode.

    Glad to see everyone on here logging and making an effort everyday!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from Nov 30th): 196.2
    Goal: 191.2 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    12/01-198.4-(Trend Weight 197.8)-

    12/02-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.8)-

    12/03-197.0-(Trend Weight 197.7)-


    12/04-197.0-(Trend Weight 197.7)- Good meals bad snacks again. When handyman is here it seems I go too long without food and then grab at conveniences. I just realized the pattern. He will be here again today before heading back downstate later today. I will plan my snacks more carefully. This week will be filled with several days of travel which will mess up the pattern of my waterpill. I think at one point it will be 3 days in a row without it. I expect my weight on the scale to be hard to follow this week.


    12/05-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.7)- It seems like I hover around the same pound or two for months, then finally see a nice little drop. My last substantial drop was when I dipped into Onederland. Now I seem to be staying there no matter what (yay) but not really making any lasting further progress again. Looking for my next real drop or whoosh. They need to come faster!

    Goal weight is 175lb.
    Current weight 187lbs.
    December goal 185lbs.
    Dec. 1 187lbs

    Hey everyone, I'm Tanya from Wyoming. I am 5'4" and weigh 267.8. Every few months I start MFP and do outstanding for a few weeks, and then I stop because I have self sabotaged myself. I feel like a failure when I give up. My hopes with putting this on here is that I will be more accountable. So here is to my 1st challenge.

    December 5: 267.8 (Just started :) Today's victory was not eating any of the birthday cake in the lounge. Did I think about it most of the day, YES!!

    12/06-199.6-(Trend Weight 197.9)- I just couldn’t get full yesterday. I ate 5 small meals plus 2 snacks and I truly did not even realize it. I should have been logging! Anyway, I was shocked when I stepped on the scale until I realized that it was also an expected bloat day. Today is a pill day so that, along with careful meal planning, should allow a better scale result tomorrow. I must stay strong!

    @twilcoxstratton Welcome! We are so glad you have joined up! I too self sabotage after I have made progress. I haven't figured out how to stop it yet. When I get time, I will try to research for some answers for us sabotagers!

    12/06-199.6-(Trend Weight 197.9)- I just couldn’t get full yesterday. I ate 5 small meals plus 2 snacks and I truly did not even realize it. I should have been logging!

Today is a pill day so that, along with careful meal planning, should allow a better scale result tomorrow. I must stay strong!

    12/07-198.0-(Trend Weight 197.9)- Always honest….always with accountability….. Yesterday was much better but still not perfect. Now that the reno is mainly done, I don’t have people here everyday, and I’m fully decorated for Christmas, I think maybe boredom has set in? Especially in the evening when all my household work is all done. I think I need to start a new book or something. NOT SNACK. No bloat today, good TMI and good meal choices helped facilitate this drop. But my habits need to go back to very good, not just good. Good is not good enough when I still have 50 pounds to lose! Travel tomorrow and Friday. Thur = more dental. Fri = Cardiac Rehab Orientation and exercise testing to see my current level. These are in two different cities in opposite directions. I plan on being mindful but we all know how me and big town restaurants go. I'm going to work on my attitude today. First thought for Friday during rehab.....I'll be going twice a week for about 3 months. I don't need to eat all the food up in one visit. I've got plenty of time to s..p..r..e..a..d i..t o..u..t. Be smart about it Donna!

    @joans1976 I am so relieved that you are doing well. It is too bad about the tummy tuck, but the main thing is that you are tolerating your procedures well. Don't give up on that tuck. God works in mysterious ways and by the time it becomes available again, your stomach will be even smaller and your skin even more ready! BTW I still owe you a letter. I haven't forgotten.
