    I am back in for December. My name is Mary and I join for the accountability and the benefit I noticed is I have a better understanding on how my weight fluctuations due to calories and lack of activity.
    My goal is to lose the weight I put on since April. I know it won't be done this month but I can go in that direction.
    Goal weight is 175lb.
    Current weight 187lbs.
    December goal 185lbs.
    Dec. 1 187lbs
    Dec. 2 187lbs
    Dec. 3 185.5lbs
    Dec. 4 186 lbs
    Dec. 5 186 lbs
    Dec. 6 186 lbs
    Dec. 7 185.5 lbs Wednesday is my weekly check in. Happy to see movement in the right direction. I have been tracking what I am consuming and consuming my alloted calories. Hurt both my feet in different places and it is tender to walk but going to try the treadmill on Thursday.

    Heaviest weight: 234
    Starting weight: November 27- 229.6
    Down 1 pound 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.😊

    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.

    12/06-199.6-(Trend Weight 197.9)-

    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!

    12/08-196.6-(Trend Weight 197.8)- A nice whoosh as I took the meds and lost the bloat. However, today and tomorrow are travel, no meds, lots of sitting etc. This weekend will be working off any gains from Thur & Fri. Did someone say yo-yo?

    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!

    12/1: 205.7
    12/31 goal: 202

    12/1: 205.7

    12/2: 205.7
    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.
    12/6: 205.6
    Stubborn fat. Surgery in 2 hours. Dying for some coffee! I’m keeping my fingers crossed they decide to do a quick tummy tuck while I’m under 😂
    12/7: DNW
    Good news: the surgeon got clean margins on the tumor
    Bad news: He forgot to do the tummy tuck
    I’m just resting up and nursing my pain today.
    12/8: DNW
    12/9: 209.6
    ‼️It pains me to type that weight. I’m pretty sure it’s inflammation from the surgery but I just worry.

    @twilcoxstratton I love your victories! It is so easy to get stressed or bored or the 3 pm munchies and head for the (usually) unhealthy snacks in the break room. Way to go!

    @jm216 You got this!

    @joans1976

    You showed a bit of a drop today, very nice considering that you prolly have a lot of inflamation still lingering from your surgery. Don't be so hard on yourself! Remember, you are beating cancer right now. Weighing daily, staying accountable and giving the weight your best shot is wonderful. But eliminating that cancer and healing is the first priority. Stick with your plan. The numbers will show eventually.

    12/10-198.4-(Trend Weight 197.9)- I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that there was no change after travel, restaurant, lots of extra sitting, and lack of the water pill yesterday. I take this as a win! I really watched my portion sizes especially since most of the food was not in plan. The rehab was mainly paperwork. Interesting that they also will train me in nutrition improvements (for the heart healthy), stress management, depression or anxiety issues and so much more than just physical exercise that will be allowed. I went on a treadmill for 15 minutes to get my current safe level with the EKG on and tolerated it well. It was not super fast but a starting point. Otherwise, the whole 2 hours was paperwork and surveys.
