    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.

    12/01-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)-

    12/05-180.6-(Trend Weight: 181.7)- My goal today is to not self-sabotage. I will be home all day due to this horrible chest cold that just isn’t giving me any breaks. There is no excuse for me not to stick to my eating plan. My appetite is not being affected whatsoever so the battle rages on! Exercise, however, is still tough because I’m so weak. I have tested Covid Negative twice now. Yesterday I was finally able to at least get on the exercise bike for a leisurely stroll. I’ve pre-logged my food so I think I’ll be okay. I really need to dip back down into the 170’s so that all progress is not lost. I’m very focused and very close……

    12/12-178.2-(Trend Weight: 180.3)- Being anywhere in the 178 bracket has brought me to my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs and has put my BMI from Obese to Overweight. It’s been a very long road to get where I am now and there is still so much road ahead of me, but I feel strong and able and equipped. Okay, so there’s the holiday, the baking, the shopping/restaurant excursions to contend with, but I got this. No matter what (or when) I’m still going to get to my destination. Destination Health and Happiness.

    Hello everyone. Coming back to this challenge after lots of traveling over the summer and fall. I am 55 and 5'3'' female. Looking forward to getting healthier.
    Goal weight: 130

    11/30 154.2
    12/7 146.8 - Over stressed and sick at the same time was not a fun way to drop lbs. Looking forward to the upcoming holiday!
    12/14 149.2 - Was expecting this increase.
    12/21 150.1 - Going the wrong direction. Hoping to get back to exercising to help offset all the holiday goodies.

    The last piece of pecan pie, promised to neighbor Larry, got the best of me and I just ate it. Now I'll be making another pie and make sure he gets a piece.

    For Xmas I got a weight bench so now I'll need to get my routines planned.

    I made this recipe with some of our leftovers
    No review until next month but sure looks good
