    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.

    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!

    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!


    12/25-199.6-(Trend Weight 198.5)- Well, the baking is in full force. More today as our dinner is tomorrow. It was a wonderful Christmas morning for Johnny and I. DD (with food I’m sure) and new SIL and DGS #4 will be over later to help with more baking. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Hanukkah to all.

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!

    Christmas weight coming off. Getting back into the swing of things is a little harder than I thought it would be. I’m just so exhausted. I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions but I’m going to try this year to see if it helps with this fatigue.

    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!

    12/27-200.8-(Trend Weight 198.9)- Up another 0.2 but that’s not bad after our huge Family Christmas dinner yesterday. Forced all the leftovers on the kids to take home. They all took tons of goodies home too and still a lot left. Gonna box them up and force them on others whenever possible. I don’t need all this fudge and cookies in this house!

    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!)
    Dec 25: 179.2
    Dec 26: 178.6
    Dec 27: 179 (Sick with a cold and it's making me hungry. That and all the overeating as of late.. so true that eating leads to more eating! I can't get enough. I am back to tracking today... need to keep myself accountable. Do not want to see the 180's again!)

    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!
    12/26: 206.7
    Well, Christmas happened. Hoping I can get back down to my starting December weight by the end of the month. Back to work and doctor’s appointments this week.
    12/27: 205.7
    Christmas weight coming off. Getting back into the swing of things is a little harder than I thought it would be. I’m just so exhausted. I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions but I’m going to try this year to see if it helps with this fatigue.
    12/28: 205.6
    Yuck, I feel bloated today. I had a good day yesterday, not sure why I feel this way. It doesn’t look like I will have a loss this month but at least I’m maintaining.

    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.

    12/28-200.6-(Trend Weight 199.1)- My cat usually prefers her own fluffy cozy space on my big king size bed at night. Last night she was kneading herself out a spot on my stomach. I wonder why? Humph…. She has done this a few times in the past. Strange…..(LOL) My weight went down a touch but trend weight is still going up. Gotta turn that around! Anyway, rehab today so there will be some travel. Shopping after for some Christmas clearance I hope.

    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.
    Dec. 26th 192 lbs yep up it goes
    Dec. 27th 188 lbs yep down it goes
    Dec. 28th 187 lbs Well my Wednesday regular weigh-in. Grateful it is not worst. Found out snacking is my downfall.
