Omg @deepwoodslady my mom and I sit around and talk about how we can survive anything as long as they don’t take our coffee away from us! 😱 This is horrible to hear, I am so sorry, I will be thinking of you. Hope you are already feeling better!
@joans1976 I agreed to go to half-caff. That's about as far as I can go. I can also reduce by 1 cup a day maybe. Every little bit helps. But I'm not giving it up entirely or going 100% to caffeine free. I don't drink soda so this helps.1 -
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!

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.

12/20-198.6-(Trend Weight 198.2)- Yesterday was horrid. My blood pressure dropped way too low at rehab. I had to stay an extra two hours to see if I would need to go through emergency. Exercise was so much easier when I was younger and healthier. I could choose what I wanted. Dieting was so much easier before diabetes and heart started dictating my foods. I hope everyone who still has choices and opportunities will grab them. This is why I am sharing. Starting to get a bad cold this morning too. Don’t worry, I should feel much better after more coffee. However, they are even trying to take that away from me. Boo Hoo!
12/21-199.8-(Trend Weight 198.3)- I had to cancel rehab this morning. This cold got worse and worse yesterday. Ended up on the couch under covers. Less than 3000 steps for the entire day. Today a sore throat decided to join in. Not sure why so much weight gain. I know there was a huge lack of activity but I thought the diet (not perfect) wasn’t too off-point but I could be wrong. Hopefully it is just all this snot. (Wow, isn’t that a nasty sounding word?) Back on the couch again today but I’ve absolutely got to get better in time for Christmas. I still need to bake.

@xandraxian Hello, welcome! I will have to look up drinking ketones, I haven’t heard of that before.
Thank you for the welcome. ☺️
The ketones are in pill form: https://a.co/d/88DNsux I just thought it’d be better to relieve the powder from the gelatin capsule before consuming. If you need a hunger suppressor, it is said these help.1 -

First time using Casein & Ketones. I put the two in a banana and almond milk mixture and…hmm, idk. I think I’ll need to find a different method. I’m thinking maybe in a dressing. The viciousness of the casein would probably be beneficial to it or a sauce or a…hmm, do you think I could make béchamel with it instead of flour?
19: 207.6 (AM, Hours after eating)
—: 207.2 (PM, Not long after eating)
Took the ketones as directed instead of pouring it into a drink, and got a wave of dizziness. Had to lay my head in front of the fan for a minute. Now, this had been right after a hot shower…so the culprit is currently inconclusive. I’ll figure out who to rule out with future doses.
20: 204.8 (AM, Waking) (1)
—: 206.8 (Drank water and got dressed) (2)
In extension to the last update, it doesn’t seem like it was the ketones as the feeling did not happen again after this dose.

I…I just accidentally, purposely signed up as a self-employed interior painter. I do have painting experience, it’s just, I didn’t mean to fall into this. I was just trying to find a job to help pay for school along with rent and groceries…! Well, that should be enough motivation to get my license, if there ever was to be! How long does that even take? Oh goodness, I need a car, I need example pictures, I need a schedule…M-Th ~8-20, school, F-Su maybe ~10-20(?), work availability?
22: 205.2 (1)
—: 207.4 (2)
I get it, I just started. Still, just to put it out there, I’d love to see some loss…you could say I lost a bit from 210, but that was a different scale! I don't even know if that weight was correct. I’m honestly not sure if this weight’s correct! 😅 Whatever, I’ll be patient, I guess…3 -
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!

Finally, a little reprieve! I know this must be swelling going down because clothes where I had my surgery are loose.
I returned to work yesterday. Only 9 hours and I actually took 2 breaks! Man oh man am I sore this morning though.
Halfway through the month and I am 6 pounds away from goal, 2.5 pounds from staying the same. 🤔
12/16: 207.1
🙏 Glad this is happening
12/17: 205.6
Down to pre-surgical weight. I’ll take it!
12/18: 204.9
I made 4 kinds of cookies with my mom yesterday and I chewed gum the whole time to avoid extra bites. I ended up eating 4 cookies total but that’s way less than other years. Getting busier for Christmas.
12/19: 205.9
I’m just so exhausted! I’m getting news from the tumor board today, keep your fingers crossed for no surgery and no chemo for me!
12/20: 204.4
Below my December starting weight but not sure where I will go from here. Wednesday is my dads birthday and he wants to eat at a Chinese buffet. I have no idea how to avoid sodium there. Then Christmas Eve and Christmas. One day at a time.
The tumor board met and decided they want pathology to review the biopsy slides from surgery again so I will likely be waiting for a plan for treatment until after the new year. So. Not good news, not bad news. More waiting.
12/21: 204.4
I’m pretty exhausted today, 2 more days of work then off for 3 days.
12/22: 204.4
Holding steady. I’m surprised by this as I ate as an Asian Fusion Buffet last night and had a piece of birthday cake. One more day of work.2 -
@deepwoodslady You stay under those covers and rest! And hydrate! There is no reason to bake if you’re going to get everyone sick! Everyone needs you to get better now go rest!1

Feed a cold…Starve a fever. I should not have taken it so literally! I overate my diet food which makes it not so “diet” anymore.

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.
Dec. 14th 185 lbs. To day I measured various parts of my body. I quit doing that last April. I am bigger by at least one inch on my waist and abs.
Dec. 19th 186 lbs Guilty of sampling baked goods.
Dec. 20th 186 lbs
Dec. 21st 185 lbs I have been holding pretty steady with the weight with no surprises in either direction. Continuing to measure & no change there.
Dec. 22nd 185 lbs2 -

I can’t seem to get enough sleep. I just toss and turn and can’t seem to get restful sleep. It’s been like this since I had my surgery. Maybe I need new pillows.

How is everyone in the US and Canada doing with the weather? Everyone safe and still have power?
It didn’t snow much here but it is cold, cold, cold and the wind is bitter. Thankfully I don’t have to go out today.1 -
I’m the wrong one to answer, but…The weather’s good in Florida. The lowest it’s been so far is what, 60? I’ve never been anywhere where it gets much colder than that. Damn, the though of not having power when it get really cold…I hope there are enough blankets, maybe even some firewood.How is everyone in the US and Canada doing with the weather?

@xandraxian Lol it is 9 degrees here. And very windy. Feels like 6 below. There are people 15 minutes from me with no power, huddled around their fireplace!2

@joans1976 It snowed like the dickens here in northern Michigan. My back door was snowed shut! It's still coming down. They are saying up to 17 inches expected by tomorrow. Yikes! It's very pretty though...... Our Sheriff put out an online bulletin. "Stay Home" "Impossible" to drive. "Blizzard". "White-out conditions" etc etc. Hunkering down. A good day to bake but the scale says a bad day to taste-test!1 -

I’ve got to keep my eye on the ball! Good luck everyone this round. This is definitely the hardest round of the year for most everyone!

I usually get down in the dumps during the holidays and was surprised and relieved it had not come yet. Then it hit me last night like a ton of bricks. I will be seeing family and friends today, so I will put a smile on my face. 1 below here with 25 below windchill.

@deepwoodslady Did you stay home yesterday? We only have about an inch down here but the roads are dangerous because of the high winds and drifting snow. Stay safe and cozy up there!0

@joans1976 Yes, I hunkered down and stayed in. We got 8 inches yesterday, 4 more inches last night before midnight. Expecting 7-8 more today for a total of nearly 20 inches (assuming we get it today). It is lightly snowing now. Christmas day is supposed to be only 2 inches and it will take all day to get it. Monday is the day of my family dinner. No snow until after 10 pm so that is perfect! Lots of shoveling, but I'm getting help with it. I have an injured left foot/toe and and injured right hand all bandaged and a weak ticker so my son and newest son-in-law have taken up the task. It's beautiful here. It looks like diamonds in the snow. Roads remain ice, especially at night according to friends and family. Just sheets of ice. I hope you are staying warm and cozy. Happy Christmas Eve.1 -

12/23-199.2-(Trend Weight 198.4)- Wow! The snow this morning but we were warned – up to 17 inches expected over 48 hour period! Well…. My weight is up and my trend weight has creeped up too. Definitely a weight gain, not just bloat. It’s all caught up to me. Daughter and DGS here again until Sunday. They arrived yesterday evening. This makes it difficult. I’ve got to keep my eye on the ball! Good luck everyone this round. This is definitely the hardest round of the year for most everyone!
12/24-198.6-(Trend Weight 198.4)- A drop today which is totally welcomed. I’ve made a few of the fudges but will spend most of the day today making more fudge, candies and cookies. Tomorrow too, so everything will be very fresh for our dinner on Monday. Sunday all my children will be going to their in-laws. I will be baking like crazy lots of other goodies on Sunday in my double ovens. All my meals need to be on point because of all the licks and the other two things @quiltingjaine mentioned from the WW quip. Tis the season!

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.)
Dec 12: 171.8
Dec 13: 174.6 (Today my husband leaves for a business trip. He and I will have lunch downtown before he goes. I have a full house of company so there are lots of folks around while he's gone but I always miss him!)
Dec 14: 175
Dec 15: 174.6
Dec 16: 174.6 (Happy to be holding and not swooping back up to 175, which is 10 pounds higher than I want to be at max. Things have quieted down on the company front for the weekend before picking up again on Monday, and I can now say my last full week of work for 2022 is behind me.)
Dec 17: 176.2 (So much for holding. I am sloppily tracking at best, or skipping days, so it's to be expected. It is hard with the company, but that's no excuse. I need to get on the Peloton today for sure!)
Dec 18: 176 (My nose is a bit runny, but I feel fine. It's super cold here right now and snowy, and it's low humidity where I live. Could just be that. We'll see....)
Dec 19: 176.2 (Feeling good today, yesterday was just a blip I guess. Busy work day and we're under an extreme cold warning so I have stayed inside. Husband was off and spent the day baking so there are lots of goodies in the house.)
Dec 20: 175
Dec 21: 175.4
Dec 22: 175
Dec 23: 176.8
Dec 24: 177.6 (Today my Dad heads home after 20 days here. It was a great visit. We have friends stopping by to drop off gifts, the Bills games, and lots of eating. The extreme cold weather snap is finally breaking so I also plan to go for a walk later. I think I still have to take my Mom out to a few stores too. Busy day ahead! Enjoy your Christmas Eve friends!)2 -
How is everyone in the US and Canada doing with the weather? Everyone safe and still have power?
It didn’t snow much here but it is cold, cold, cold and the wind is bitter. Thankfully I don’t have to go out today.
Our weather was so so bitterly cold, but we managed. We stayed in for quite a few days. The weather is finally breaking here so we'll be able to resume some outdoor walks, which is nice.
My dad's travel plans by car got delayed a bit to head home, but it just meant we got more time with him here, which was nice for us.4 -
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!

Yesterday I ate pizza and chocolate. I feel pretty awful today. I had not a single vegetable yesterday. Gotta get a grip.
I can’t seem to get enough sleep. I just toss and turn and can’t seem to get restful sleep. It’s been like this since I had my surgery. Maybe I need new pillows.
12/24: 205.1
I usually get down in the dumps during the holidays and was surprised and relieved it had not come yet. Then it hit me last night like a ton of bricks. I will be seeing family and friends today, so I will put a smile on my face. 1 below here with 25 below windchill.
12/25: DNW-no scale
Well, I came to my parents house and decided to spend the night last night because I was tired of facing the bad roads and I thought my mood might be better if I wasn’t alone.
It is a balmy 16 degrees here today, so I’m ready to get my bikini and go sunbathe! Donna and Ashley, wanna join me? ☀️❄️
Wishing everyone a safe, warm Christmas!

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.
Dec. 14th 185 lbs. To day I measured various parts of my body. I quit doing that last April. I am bigger by at least one inch on my waist and abs.
Dec. 19th 186 lbs Guilty of sampling baked goods.
Dec. 20th 186 lbs
Dec. 21st 185 lbs I have been holding pretty steady with the weight with no surprises in either direction. Continuing to measure & no change there.
Dec. 22nd 185 lbs
Dec. 23rd 185 lbs
Dec. 24th 186 lbs
Dec. 25th 186 lbs My husband, dad and myself are going out for Christmas buffet. Usually I have everyone over today pre covid but now the kids have started their own family traditions.2 -

12/26-200.6-(Trend Weight 198.7)- Can you tell I finished my baking and candy making? While this also contains my expected bloat, ugh, it is higher than usual so the gain is obvious. Our big family dinner is today. Tomorrow will not be good on the scale, but I will begin the task of getting it back down this week. No excuses….there is some new fat in this weight!
