Countdown to 2025! (2nd half of the year)

Walela617

Hi everyone,

February 29, 2008 - 217 (All-time highest weight before I joined)
Goal Range - 132-140
Restart Weight: 154.8
New Year's Day.Goal - 150 (or less)

Here's the update for today (in pounds):

11/20/24: 154.8
11/27/24: 154.2
12/04/24: 154.6
12/11/24: 153.0 (lbs. lost since restart: 1.8, total lost: 1.8)

I haven't been feeling well the past few days. Turns out. I have COVID (again). The first time was Halloween, 2022. I've now had a total of 11 COVID shots, including the latest booster on 9/21; so I hope it's a milder case this time! I started having symptoms on Sunday and tested positive on Tuesday.

Wish me luck! I'll check back in tomorrow.

12/05-197.6-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- WTH? Yeah, you read that right. I wasn’t convinced so I was like Santa and checked it twice! Yuck, Yuck and More Yuck!!! The schools are closed today due to winter storm warning so my grandson is here early and the weekend has begun. Clearly I have to be on my toes all weekend as I can’t afford to cave into the normal weekend temptations often offered by my Foodie daughter. Our Thanksgiving dinner was Saturday evening. Leftovers are gone now and it’s time to get to work. I must remember that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Here We go!!!

12/12-194.6-(Trend Weight: 193.3)- Well CERTAINLY that is better than last week but still unacceptable to me. How many months do I have to lose the same pounds over and over? How long does it take to get back into the 180’s again? No one can do it but me, I know this. Get your sh** together Donna! You know what to do and how to do it. Yeah, it’s hard but choose your hard! Okay, I’m motivated and ready. Honestly though, I start everyday this way. Let’s see if it can last until bedtime! Dang, December is especially tough!

Hi everyone,

February 29, 2008 - 217 (All-time highest weight before I joined)
Goal Range - 132-140
Restart Weight: 154.8
New Year's Day.Goal - 150 (or less)

Here's the update for this week (in pounds):

11/20/24: 154.8
11/27/24: 154.2
12/04/24: 154.6
12/11/24: 153.0
12/18/24: 151.8 (lbs. lost since last week: 1.2, total lost since restart: 3.0)

I sure hope this week's loss isn't just a temporary loss due to COVID (I definitely wasn't eating as much but have resumed normal eating as of yesterday.) I guess we'll find out on Christmas morning, 12/25!

I can hardly believe we have less than two weeks to go until the New Year, but here we are! I'm starting up a new, 11-week challenge that runs from Wednesday, January 1st, 2025 through Wednesday, March 19th 2025 (the LAST day of winter)! You are most welcome if you'd like to join me there! It's called, "COUNTDOWN to S*P*R*I*N*G, 2025!" and it's in the Challenge pages. It officially begins on January 1st, but you can hop on anytime before then if you'd like to post on the board. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10928921/countdown-to-s-p-r-i-n-g-2025#latest
Have a great day and very best wishes for the holidays ahead!

12/19-191.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)- Glad to see a drop since last week. I actually got down to 190.0 within the week and then have slowly crept back up mainly due to restaurant foods related to travel or occasion. Travel again tomorrow on a bit of a longer drive (8 hours round trip) and will be doing med appt for daughter and some shopping in the city along the way. Otherwise, I hope to keep things lean and clean until the next weigh-in. Our family dinner is not until Sat the 28th but there will be baking before then. Gotta watch the BLT’s (bites, licks and tastes)! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Hi everyone,

Hi @deepwoodslady (Donna),

I'm very discouraged. This morning my weight was 156.8, a FOUR-POUND gain since Wednesday! Yesterday there were lots of "goodies" at work and I partook of ALL of them! (I'm hoping some of this is temporary water weight gain, but we'll see...)

Boston got about 4 inches of snow last night and it's really cold outside; so I'll be staying in until I go back to work on Monday.

Have a great weekend!
💞 Carole
