    @deepwoodslady Thank you for the pep talk! I am a mixed bag of emotions right now. I’m just thinking in my head “I was 2 pounds away from Onederland a few weeks ago, now I’m 11 pounds away.” Then things come up through the day where I realize I have bigger worries.
    I’m so glad for you for your “win” of a day yesterday! You are kicking butt!

    12/09-198.4-(Trend Weight 197.8)-

    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.


    12/11-198.2-(Trend Weight 197.9)- A good day for the most part yesterday but not much movement. 3 meals and a questionable snack. I spent most of the day wrapping presents and I’m not done yet. A friend visited for awhile. It was a quiet day. I will unexpectedly be traveling today if the roads are cleaned up from the snow. A package came in to a department store that I was hoping to pick up earlier in the week when I was at the dentist. So I hope to go get it, and do a little more shopping while in the medium sized city. I’ll be thoughtful for my choices for dinner. I need to get the numbers back down. No TMI this morning so the small drop today was appreciated but I’m feeling a little greedy.

    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. 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.
    Dec. 8 185.5 and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
    Dec. 9 185
    Dec. 10 194 lbs. Here I go again. How can you gain 9lbs in one day. Re weighed. Yep it is correct.
    Dec 11. 187 lbs. My body is just weird.

    Name: Ashley
    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 2: 171
    Dec 3: 172
    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!)
    Dec 5: 173.4
    Dec 6: 171.4
    Dec 7: 171 (Busy now with company at the house. Took today off to run some errands with my Dad.)
    Dec 8: 170.8 (Had my two holiday work events and feel like I navigated them well. Minimal drinks, waited to start on food before most had had a few plates.)
    Dec 9: 171.2
    Dec 10: 171.2
    Dec 11: 173.8 (My brother and his fiancee arrived yesterday so I now officially have a very full house. My husband is like a short order cook right now so some of the normal weighing and measuring he does for me when it's just us is a lot to ask right now. We went out to a Christmas market yesterday so I got some steps from that but I should have exercised on top of that.)

    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
    GW: 150
    12/1: 205.7
    12/31 goal: 202

    12/1: 205.7
    Ugh
    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.
    12/10: 209.4
    Ugh. I’m not sure if I should keep weighing in to hold myself accountable or stop because it is depressing me. The weird thing is I have had zero appetite since surgery which was Tuesday. A friend came and brought me a ton of fruit and veggies and I’m looking forward to that.
    12/11: 209.4
    Well. Gotta just re-read Donna’s pep talk.

It has been a lot of travel and sitting. Traveling again today for my first “real” cardiac rehab. That should get me moving!

    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 1:
    December 2:
    December 3:
    December 4:
    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!!
    December 6: 266.4
    December 7: 264.2
    December 8: 261.8. Victory over the lounge yet again. 7 Boxes of cookies sit in the lounge. Of course all of my favorites were there. I just went in and got my water and left with no cookies. VICTORY!!!
    December 9: 259.8.
    December 10: 258.8
    December 11: Did not weigh
    December 12: 258.2. Will need lots of strength this week. Staff carry in today. Then elastic pants week for the remainder of the week. Honestly I would have already been grazing in the lounge. I forgot to put my shake in the fridge last night so no breakfast. I could have stopped and got something but instead I grabbed a sweet potato for breakfast. Starting the day off strong. :)

    Still at home healing. Feeling a little cooped up but also a bit paranoid to go out due to all the illness flying around. Still in some pain, still waiting on results.

    12/11-198.2-(Trend Weight 197.9)-


    12/12-198.2-(Trend Weight 197.9)- I’ll consider this weight a win since I traveled yesterday. I really watched my choices for sure. My lunch became 3 meals. 1/3 for lunch, 1/3 for dinner and 1/3 for my hungry garbage can. It seemed to be all I needed. Sadly I gained this round but I’m not too surprised. It has been a lot of travel and sitting. Traveling again today for my first “real” cardiac rehab. That should get me moving!


    12/13-198.4-(Trend Weight 198.0)- I’m still very pleased with this weight considering I am bloated pretty bad in the ankles and abdomen. Days and days of travel and being away from home has not allowed me to take my waterpill. Today is a local hair appointment for color that will keep me in a chair for nearly 3 hours. No pill again unless I take it after 3:00 pm and I don’t want to be up all night. Tomorrow is travel and cardiac rehab again. Good news? Cardiologist called and my cholesterol is great. I know it’s not my diet. They upgraded me from 10 mg. of meds to 80 mgs of meds after my stent surgery. But the meds are working for me. Since I’ll be near home today my diet should be on point.

    December 12: 258.2. Will need lots of strength this week. Staff carry in today. Then elastic pants week for the remainder of the week. Honestly I would have already been grazing in the lounge. I forgot to put my shake in the fridge last night so no breakfast. I could have stopped and got something but instead I grabbed a sweet potato for breakfast. Starting the day off strong. :)
    December 13: 257.0 Today starts off our elastic pants week which means staff bring in treats for the whole week. I will need all of my will power to stay away. I would avoid the lounge at all costs if the water wasn't in there.

    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. 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.
    Dec. 8 185.5 and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
    Dec. 9 185
    Dec. 10 194 lbs. Here I go again. How can you gain 9lbs in one day. Re weighed. Yep it is correct.
    Dec 11. 187 lbs. My body is just weird.
    Dec 12. 187 lbs
    Dec 13. 185 lbs What the heck??? Pleasant 😮 surprise

    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!

    I just don’t care today. I have too much to do and too much on my mind. I’m not sleeping well.

    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.

    ‼️It pains me to type that weight. I’m pretty sure it’s inflammation from the surgery but I just worry.
    12/10: 209.4
    Ugh. I’m not sure if I should keep weighing in to hold myself accountable or stop because it is depressing me. The weird thing is I have had zero appetite since surgery which was Tuesday. A friend came and brought me a ton of fruit and veggies and I’m looking forward to that.
    12/11: 209.4
    Well. Gotta just re-read Donna’s pep talk.
    12/12: 209.2
    12/13: 209.2
    Still at home healing. Feeling a little cooped up but also a bit paranoid to go out due to all the illness flying around. Still in some pain, still waiting on results.
    12/14: 209.3
    Many mixed emotions today. I go back to work today but that’s not what’s upsetting me.

    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!

    Goal: 191.2 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    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.

    12/13-198.4-(Trend Weight 198.0)- I’m still very pleased with this weight considering I am bloated pretty bad in the ankles and abdomen. Days and days of travel and being away from home has not allowed me to take my waterpill. Today is a local hair appointment for color that will keep me in a chair for nearly 3 hours. No pill again unless I take it after 3:00 pm and I don’t want to be up all night. Tomorrow is travel and cardiac rehab again. Good news? Cardiologist called and my cholesterol is great. I know it’s not my diet. They upgraded me from 10 mg. of meds to 80 mgs of meds after my stent surgery. But the meds are working for me. Since I’ll be near home today my diet should be on point.


    12/14-198.8-(Trend Weight 198.1)- Time to turn this nightmare ship around. Superbloat and indulgences do not a success make. Travel again today for rehab. UGH…..

    No I weigh the same time in the morning. I put a ten pound bag of potatoes and the weight was correct. I am lost for an explanation.

    Starting weight 156lbs - Day 1 yesterday and plan to weigh myself just one a week, twice max as I find it gets too upsetting if there’s no difference.

    I have found in the past it’s better to look at energy levels, measurements etc

    12/15-198.2-(Trend Weight 198.1)- I’m feeling pretty good about the drop considering the bloat is still there. Tonight my DD, new SIL and DGS will come for a homemade Mexican dinner at my house. DGS will stay overnight so she can work in the morn. That means lots of stair climbing for me. I’ll be out of breath, but the calorie burn will likely be higher today. Hopefully tomorrow’s scale weight should show that.

    @deepwoodslady Lol I had to laugh at your term “nightmare ship!” I know you weren’t trying to be funny but sometimes that’s what this ride feels like!
    How is your cardiac rehab going? Sounds like you will be busy for the holidays, driving all over northern MI. We have only had one snow here and it was gone in a day. It snowed last night but just a dusting.

    @joans1976 We had freezing rain Wed night and part of Thursday morn. Schools closed and much shut down. We still have snow covering the green so it will be a white Christmas, but not as much snow as some years. My weight was slowly coming down in Nov. but I'm really at a stand-still in December. It's not a plateau, it's not my exercise, it's eating habits. I know that it's typical in December for most folks but I've really got to put a lid on it, get stronger, have better resolve etc. etc. etc. What does it take to be perfect anyway LOL ????
