December 5: 74.7kg
December 8: 73.9kg
December 10: 73kg
Loss this month = 1.7kg
Explanation - I have been unwell with mastitis so I can't claim my weight loss on exercise or excellent calorie controlled eating!
Rather, I have been battling a fever and had zero appetite because of this!
On antibiotics now, so hopefully back to full health in no time!
Plan to jump on the treadmill this afternoon, and eating today has been extremely light as I've only just been starting to feel better
I am only 4.5 weeks post childbirth, so my walk on the treadmill will be slow and steady (more for a break for my mental health

Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan.
My goals for December🎄 :
⚖️Weigh- in daily
📝Log daily
🙆♀️Stretch daily/ Move daily
Get back down to under 200 pounds
Starting weight January 1st: 224.5
January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
February weight lost: 5 pounds
March weight lost: 6 pounds
April weight lost: 6.5 pounds
May weight lost: 2.6 pounds
June weight lost: 1.6 pounds
July weight lost: 1.3 pounds
August weight lost: up 1 pound
September weight loss: 1.8 pounds
October weight loss: up 3.1 pounds
November weight loss: up .6 pounds
🎄December:
1: 203.4– Time to get all gears going. I’ve been really good getting on the scale everyday, but I have a hard time with consistent logging.
I’ve noticed that it’s easier on the computer than the phone, so my goal for December is to log every day.
2: 203.5– logged for breakfast… it’s the very beginning of getting back into logging, so I’ll take that as a win. Baby steps.
3: 201.6 not sure what happened… but I’ll take it. I weigh myself 4x then take the average… so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.
4: 203.6–there is the bounce back. It’s all good though. Taking carrots to work as my crunchy snack today, along with soup and salad. My goal is to log everything today. Happy Monday!
5: 201.3 I logged everything and it felt great!
Let go for 2 in a row.
6: 202.3 Day 2 of logging is complete! Let’s do 3!
7: 202.5 Day 3 complete. It wasn't pretty but it was logged! Day 1 of exercise. Up to the Beat fitness by Gina B on YouTube is my go to exercise.
8: 202.6 Day 4 of logging and day 2 of exercise. Starting healthy routines for 2024 now. Now to get my snacking under control!😉
9: 202.8 Day 5 of logging and my snack monster 👿 is in overdrive… fighting the logging…but I know this is what I need to do to get and stay below 200 pounds. It takes me a good month to get everything in sync… logging, staying at or below calories, and exercise. December won’t be pretty, but I’m happy to be creating healthy routines.
10: 202.5 Day 6 of logging.
11: 203.6 Day 7 of logging. Lots of salty foods yesterday. Time to whip up a big salad for lunch… and take some clementines.
Finished up Christmas decorating with the family last night.

I am a 46 year-old married mom of four, 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is trying again to start exercising WITHOUT injuring myself, log daily, drink more water, and creating some new routines this month while starting my new job - yeah!

@ddainiak - thanks for checking in on me! I am physically feeling better. Mentally, I feel overwhelmed since being sick last weekend, as at home there are so many projects, laundry...and realizing that Christmas is just around the corner!4 -
Hi all. I’m joining late but looking for to some self imposed discipline this month. I retire at the end of the month and want to be in the best health possible. Process: log food with mindful eating, limit alcohol to weekend minimum, strength train 5x/week, increase water intake. 70 yo female 5’5”

Hey y'all! Back at it in December, my favorite month of the year!
I'm a 37 year old stay at home mom of 5 little ones! I'm trying to lose the baby weight before my wedding in December 2024
November loss= 4.2lbs
December Goal= 5lbs
1. 164.2
2. 164.6
3. DNW
4. 165.4 I ate like crap the entire weekend. This time of year is soooo difficult for me. I will do better this week!
5. DNW- Had a UC flare so I was not feeling the best.
6. DNW-
7. 164.6 Feeling a bit better and ready to get back at it!
8. DNW- I threw my back out Friday morning and have been down for the count all weekend! Thank God for my sweet partner who completely stepped up to the plate with the kids and house!
9. DNW-
10. DNW-
11. 164.6 Feeling much better today and ready to finally get back to working on my goals. This has been a totally crappy start to the month between my ulcerative colitis and hurting my back. Fingers crossed for a healthy rest of the month!4 -
I’ve been trying this challenge for awhile. I did my first challenge in August. The last couple of months have been hard, however, I won’t give up.
My goal this month is pretty simple, to weigh myself everyday and to count calories. If I get some exercise, it will be a bonus.
Starting weight in March 2023: 230 lbs.
Goal weight: 120 lbs.
Height: 5’2”
Total loss: 47 lbs.
End of Sept. weight: 187.8 lbs.
End of October weight: 188
End of Nov. weight: 186
Monthly Weight Loss:
March-10 lbs. (2023)
April- 8 lbs.
May- 5 lbs.
June- 4.4 lbs. (trip to Europe)
July- 5.6
August-7 lbs. joined a ‘challenge’
September- 2.6 lbs. ( sick)
October- (gained) .2 lbs.
November- loss 1.2 lbs.
December-
Dec. 1- 185.6 lbs. I was happily surprised that I lost weight in November, even a small loss. I basically kind of took a break from most exercise activities, stopped logging in my food diary, stopped weighing myself, and ate unhealthy, fast food fairly often. It was a stressful time for me with family. I didn’t really make myself a priority which I know is important to do sometimes. I must learn to deal better with stress. I can feel my body missing the exercise, and hope to change that.
Dec. 2- 185.6 lbs. went for an early swim
Dec. 3- 185.6 swim
Dec. 4- 185 dance class- I’m desperate to lose and break this two month plateau. It’s a tough time of year to try and lose weight, but I’m very focused. I’m sick of seeing the same numbers on the scale.
Dec. 5- DNW
Dec. 6- 183.8 lbs. osteoporosis fitness class. We use a video. Haven’t been for a long time.
Dec. 7- 183.6 lbs. early swim
Dec. 8- DNW fitness class, elliptical
Dec. 9- 183.6 lbs.
Dec. 10- 184.4 lbs. overate last night, logged it, early swim today
Dec. 11- 183.2 lbs. dance class- I need to find a way to eat in a more balanced way. My hunger really varies, and I’d like to know why. I’m fighting a constant battle keeping within my calorie goals. My father used to say that it’s good for your body to feel a little hunger sometimes. Was he correct? Must one feel hunger in order to lose weight?

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a while now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖
🤶🎄My Goals for December🎄🤶
⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - Will be tough this month, but am keeping it anyway
17K steps daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range
💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
🧘♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
💦 6+ glasses of water
👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦
Highest Weight 228
November Ending Weight 164.6
Dec 1: 164.8 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ Hello December!
Dec 2: 165 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦 My first holiday event this weekend. Greg and I are off to Newport, RI. We go every year this time of year. It is a city set on an island in Rhode Island. Really cute shops, great restaurants. They decorte the city for Christmas. We go and see the lights, do some shopping and our annual "Taste of Newport". We usually go to 5 different restaurants (Lunch, Appetizer, Dinner, Dessert and BF the following morning), and plenty of drinks with that. This will be the first year that I'm going since I started this weight loss journey. I am going to enjoy myself, but also going to try to curb that this year. We are thinking - just small plates for each and and/or sharing. I won't be weighing tomorrow, but will be back Monday AM to catch up.
Dec 3: DNW 👣
Dec 4: 167.2 👣 It could have been a lot worse. We had a wonderful time - back at it today. Hoping it comes off as quickly as the Thanksgiving gain did. Here is a picture of us on the balcony of our room - sunset and harbor in background. It was a beautiful day - almost 50 degrees.
Dec 5: 166.8 👣 📝 Bingo night with Mom, got home and was ravinous. Don't know why but the late night binge took place and I ate over my calorie range. It will probably show up on the scale tomorrow.
Dec 6: 166.8 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦
Dec 7: 165.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Trying to get back to my low before our next event on the 16th. It's getting there slowly. Took a 5 mile walk at the beach yesterday - love the smell of the salt water. We were practically the only ones there - Monty had a wonderful time. Came home, did a little xmas shopping.
Dec 8: 164.8 📝 🥗 💦 Almost there! Rest day. Monty went to the groomer; thought we would wait for him to get home before we took out walk - but it took ALL day - he was gone for 6 hours. Apparently they had some kind of problem with another customer - so they did them first. I wasn't too happy. We skipped the walk. He does look nice though.
Dec 9: 164.6 😁👣 📝 🥗 💦 Made it back to my low!
Dec 10: 164 😁👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Woo Hoo! Quiet day yesterday - decorated the outside for xmas, wrapped some presents. My normal workout routine. Today it is supposed to rain all day - so no walks outside. I have to do it on the treadmill - Ugh! I can never do the 5.5 miles straight on the treadmill (my normal morning walk). I have to break it up into 2 miles stretches - gets way to boring for me. Yes - I do watch TV why I'm doing it - but just not the same as being outside. Maybe do some "Get Fit with Rick" routines to get some of the time in.
Dec 11: 163.6 😁👣 (aka ddainiak) I changed my name! Very happy to see a loss because I was not on plan yesterday. I have a few drinks and when I do that I give in to my temptations. Feel lousy this morning.6 -
Well, I had a look at my goals on this app. I haven’t updated them in years. I changed my goal to a slower weight loss rate, with a more active lifestyle. The app then upped my calorie goal. Hopefully, this will help me to stay on track.5

Hello, I'm a busy mom and this is my 4th month with this group. I am slowly working my way to my goal weight.
My goal for December is to not get derailed by Christmas! This will be a challenge, because I love to eat ALL the Christmas cookies from December 25-early January. My goal will be to log from December 27-31, in addition to checking in daily.
Start weight September 1: 141.0 lbs
December start weight: 128.2 lbs
December goal: 126.6 lbs Considering Christmas, I want to be conservative with my goal, but I want to still have an overall loss for the month.
December 1: 128.2 I logged 🎄
December 2: 129.2
December 3: 128.8
December 4: 129.4 I logged 🎄 Had extremely busy days on the 1st & 2nd; went out to dinner at a restaurant; and have had some hormonal issues with my cycle starting. Hopefully this is the worst of the gain. Now I can get back to my calorie goal & logging.
December 5: 129.4 I logged 🎄
December 6: 128.6
December 7: 128.8 I logged 🎄
December 8: 128.4 I logged 🎄 Lately I have found it very tough to make my calorie goal. Gotta just keep trying every day.
December 9: 127.4 I logged 🎄 Yesssss! Yesterday it wasn't hard to reach my calorie goal. I had a big breakfast and then lots of protein in the afternoon. Maybe that had something to do with it. Or, maybe I'm getting used to my calorie goal again.
December 10: 127.6
December 11: 126.8 Woo-hoo; very happy with today's weight. I have not felt very good the last couple days; decided to take the day off from logging yesterday, but I was careful not to overindulge.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan 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!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from Nov 30): 181.4
Goal: 177.4 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx******************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME****************************
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.

12/10-179.6-(Trend Weight 180.7)- I stuck to my guns yesterday and my daughter understood and did not offer me one thing from the goodie bag. I made a big dinner for her, my son and my DGS. I didn’t eat a bite of it. I ate my own pre-planned food. It didn’t bother me at all. I love strong days! I’m waiting for my whoosh (and a TMI would help!). Have a nice Sunday everyone.
12/11-178.8-(Trend Weight 180.6)- I did it!!!! I hit a 178 which is my lowest weight in 5 ½ yrs. Now….. I admit that I made it by the skin of my teeth, but I feel like I’ve touched the moon and all other impossible things. I did well on my dietary plan yesterday but I’m still SEVERELY lacking in exercise. I’m still sick (today is day 9) and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to breathe if I try. My exercise bike, if rode casually, is a pretty safe bet. I’ll at least try to get some time on that today. I seriously want to do my walking video, maybe I could try……

@deepwoodslady Congratulations! What a wonderful success story you are. You really inspire me. So sorry you’re still not feeling well. It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished. Getting into the 170’s is my next goal.3

Starting healthy habits now so 2024 will be my year to get fit.
So starting weight in Dec: 193 lbs.
Goal by end of Dec 187 lbs.
Dec 10: 189!
Looks like i should adjust my end of month goal to 183. But the beginning of health kicks always is the best weight lose. Cutting out most sugar and junk last 3 shifts at work helped. And fasting 12 to 14 hours. Slimfast smoothies with extra protein. (I know there are better ways to start day but working 4 12 hour shifts limits my prep time.) I am off work tomorrow and plan to go for a long walk to get some exercise. And maybe some home yoga.
Dec 11: 187.4 lbs!
Today is the day i try to flip my body from night shift to day shift routine. Was able to fast 14 hours after my work lunch last night. Slept until 2pm. Had leftover turkey casserole (with cheese and riced cauliflower) for "breakfast". Now need to make something light for dinner and eat early enough so I can fast 12 hours before morning. I just hope i can sleep tonight. It is always the problem with night shift work.
I have a class all day tomorrow. I plan to work out afterwards.4 -

To Everyone! This is a good support group so Thank you to all of you. A few of you are losing due to illness I noticed- don’t worry I’m also losing due to 4-5 days of constant “issues with bowels” . It may not be loss due to working really hard but it’s still loss!
I still do dumbbells most days just to keep my muscles!
Australia is still having a heatwave and it’s hard to do anything or eat.
Anyway keep at it everyone 👏

Dec 12: 164 👣 📝 I walked and logged, but got into the goodies last night so went a bit over my limit. Not by much, but over!6 -
I’ve been trying this challenge for awhile. I did my first challenge in August. The last couple of months have been hard, however, I won’t give up.
My goal this month is pretty simple, to weigh myself everyday and to count calories. If I get some exercise, it will be a bonus.
Starting weight in March 2023: 230 lbs.
Goal weight: 120 lbs.
Height: 5’2”
Total loss: 47 lbs.
End of Sept. weight: 187.8 lbs.
End of October weight: 188
End of Nov. weight: 186
Monthly Weight Loss:
March-10 lbs. (2023)
April- 8 lbs.
May- 5 lbs.
June- 4.4 lbs. (trip to Europe)
July- 5.6
August-7 lbs. joined a ‘challenge’
September- 2.6 lbs. ( sick)
October- (gained) .2 lbs.
November- loss 1.2 lbs.
December-
Dec. 1- 185.6 lbs. I was happily surprised that I lost weight in November, even a small loss. I basically kind of took a break from most exercise activities, stopped logging in my food diary, stopped weighing myself, and ate unhealthy, fast food fairly often. It was a stressful time for me with family. I didn’t really make myself a priority which I know is important to do sometimes. I must learn to deal better with stress. I can feel my body missing the exercise, and hope to change that.
Dec. 2- 185.6 lbs. went for an early swim
Dec. 3- 185.6 swim
Dec. 4- 185 dance class- I’m desperate to lose and break this two month plateau. It’s a tough time of year to try and lose weight, but I’m very focused. I’m sick of seeing the same numbers on the scale.
Dec. 5- DNW
Dec. 6- 183.8 lbs. osteoporosis fitness class. We use a video. Haven’t been for a long time.
Dec. 7- 183.6 lbs. early swim
Dec. 8- DNW fitness class, elliptical
Dec. 9- 183.6 lbs.
Dec. 10- 184.4 lbs. overate last night, logged it, early swim today
Dec. 11- 183.2 lbs. dance class- I need to find a way to eat in a more balanced way. My hunger really varies, and I’d like to know why. I’m fighting a constant battle with my calorie goals. My father used to say that it’s good for your body to feel a little hunger sometimes. Was he correct? Must one feel hunger in order to lose weight?
Dec. 12- 182.4 lbs. yesterday I upped my calorie goal, and it seemed to work. My hunger was satiated. Singing in Christmas concert tonight-fun🎶😄

Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.
Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
December Goals: Bike 5+ miles/day Mon-Fri | 1,500 steps/day | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day
Dec 1: 205.6 Bike | Steps
Dec 2: 205.1 Bike | Steps
Dec 3: 205.9 Bike | Sleep
Dec 4: 207.1 Bike | Steps | Sleep
Dec 5: 207.0 Bike | Sleep
Dec 6: 207.8 Bike | Steps | Sleep
Dec 7: 206.7 Bike | Steps
Dec 8: 206.4 Bike | Steps | Sleep
Dec 9: 207.0 Steps | Sleep
Dec 10: 208.3 Bike | Steps | Sleep
Dec 11: 207.8 Sleep
Dec 12: 208.1 - I think this is cycle related, but we'll see. It's very random right now and difficult to know what is going on. I also had to take a night off from exercise. My knees have increasingly been protesting to the point that I had trouble navigating the stairs over the past few days. I'll see if straight walking vs. dancing/biking works for today, but I'll miss the dancing. Really enjoy zenning out at the end of the day.5 -
@deepwoodslady I'm so happy for you! Many congrats!3

Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan.
My goals for December🎄 :
⚖️Weigh- in daily
📝Log daily
🙆♀️Stretch daily/ Move daily
Get back down to under 200 pounds
Starting weight January 1st: 224.5
January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
February weight lost: 5 pounds
March weight lost: 6 pounds
April weight lost: 6.5 pounds
May weight lost: 2.6 pounds
June weight lost: 1.6 pounds
July weight lost: 1.3 pounds
August weight lost: up 1 pound
September weight loss: 1.8 pounds
October weight loss: up 3.1 pounds
November weight loss: up .6 pounds
🎄December:
1: 203.4– Time to get all gears going. I’ve been really good getting on the scale everyday, but I have a hard time with consistent logging.
I’ve noticed that it’s easier on the computer than the phone, so my goal for December is to log every day.
2: 203.5– logged for breakfast… it’s the very beginning of getting back into logging, so I’ll take that as a win. Baby steps.
3: 201.6 not sure what happened… but I’ll take it. I weigh myself 4x then take the average… so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.
4: 203.6–there is the bounce back. It’s all good though. Taking carrots to work as my crunchy snack today, along with soup and salad. My goal is to log everything today. Happy Monday!
5: 201.3 I logged everything and it felt great!
Let go for 2 in a row.
6: 202.3 Day 2 of logging is complete! Let’s do 3!
7: 202.5 Day 3 complete. It wasn't pretty but it was logged! Day 1 of exercise. Up to the Beat fitness by Gina B on YouTube is my go to exercise.
8: 202.6 Day 4 of logging and day 2 of exercise. Starting healthy routines for 2024 now. Now to get my snacking under control!😉
9: 202.8 Day 5 of logging and my snack monster 👿 is in overdrive… fighting the logging…but I know this is what I need to do to get and stay below 200 pounds. It takes me a good month to get everything in sync… logging, staying at or below calories, and exercise. December won’t be pretty, but I’m happy to be creating healthy routines.
10: 202.5 Day 6 of logging.
11: 203.6 Day 7 of logging. Lots of salty foods yesterday. Time to whip up a big salad for lunch… and take some clementines.
Finished up Christmas decorating with the family last night.
12: 203.6 Day 8 of logging and trying to let go of guilt with snacking. Setting up healthy habits for 2024.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing an additional weekly challenge in addition to our monthly challenges for 2024 to tie everything together.
I’m thinking of calling it the:
🌺🌼2024–52 Week Challenge🌼🌺
It might look like:
January 2024

I like to check in on Wednesdays one of my days off. You could check in on any day you’d like.
What are your thoughts and suggestions?

Hello, I'm a busy mom and this is my 4th month with this group. I am slowly working my way to my goal weight.
My goal for December is to not get derailed by Christmas! This will be a challenge, because I love to eat ALL the Christmas cookies from December 25-early January. My goal will be to log from December 27-31, in addition to checking in daily.
Start weight September 1: 141.0 lbs
December start weight: 128.2 lbs
December goal: 126.6 lbs Considering Christmas, I want to be conservative with my goal, but I want to still have an overall loss for the month.
December 1: 128.2 I logged 🎄
December 2: 129.2
December 3: 128.8
December 4: 129.4 I logged 🎄 Had extremely busy days on the 1st & 2nd; went out to dinner at a restaurant; and have had some hormonal issues with my cycle starting. Hopefully this is the worst of the gain. Now I can get back to my calorie goal & logging.
December 5: 129.4 I logged 🎄
December 6: 128.6
December 7: 128.8 I logged 🎄
December 8: 128.4 I logged 🎄 Lately I have found it very tough to make my calorie goal. Gotta just keep trying every day.
December 9: 127.4 I logged 🎄 Yesssss! Yesterday it wasn't hard to reach my calorie goal. I had a big breakfast and then lots of protein in the afternoon. Maybe that had something to do with it. Or, maybe I'm getting used to my calorie goal again.
December 10: 127.6
December 11: 126.8 Woo-hoo; very happy with today's weight. I have not felt very good the last couple days; decided to take the day off from logging yesterday, but I was careful not to overindulge.
December 12: 127.8 Didn't feel so good yesterday either! Logging went by the wayside. I really think it's hormonal. I think I'm feeling better today; my goal is to log successfully today.

@iLive2Walk Thanks for the congrats. I am happy with what I've accomplished but I know that this respiratory virus is standing in the way of the bigger progress I could have had. It has not affected my eating so the calories are still going in, but it has stopped me from the exercising I usually do because of breathing difficulties. So I'm not burning the calories off. Wow! Is that ever dangerous, especially during Christmas! Anyway, I'll take whatever progress I can get at this point. Fingers crossed that I can pick up speed on the exercise front and slow down on the food festivities! I will check my friends list when I get a few minutes and make sure your new name is on it.1 -
