    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.

    Jill 🥰

    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!

    Habit Goals for the Month to drop into the 170's:
    🪵 = Log
    🍽️ = Hit Calorie Goal
    🧘 = Stretch/PT
    🏃‍♀️= Cardio
    💧= Hit Water Goal

    12/01: 182.3 🪵🧘
    12/02: 181.7
    12/03: Stomach bug
    12/04: Stomach bug
    12/05: Stomach bug
    12/06: 179.5 - rehydrate day
    12/07: 181.5 🪵🍽️💧
    12/08: 179.8 🪵🍽️
    12/09: DNW 🪵
    12/10: 180.3
    12/11: 180.8 - I did well staying on track while at work, but I am alllwed household chores to take over in my brain instead of logging. Good to recognize before the next weekend.

    @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!

    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”
    12/4 129.2#
    12/5 129.4#
    12/6 129.8#
    12/7 129.6#
    12/8 129.8#
    12/9 DNW under the weather
    12/10 129.2#
    12/11 129.2# ➕ water intake and training, under calories yesterday, 1/2 ounce alcohol
    🔺 I’ve been inconsistent with logging food each day.

    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. 💖



    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.

    @ddainiak Darlene, Will you be adding your friends list back on as friends?

    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.


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

    12/09-179.6-(Trend Weight 180.9)-

    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.

    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.

    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
    1
    3
    10
    17
    24
    31

    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.
