    Hi everyone,

    @Bemybestby60, please don't be discouraged. The holiday season is one of the toughest times of year for all of us to keep our intake within set limits. For myself, I think I need to revise my goal for December. This morning I weighed the same as yesterday - 154.6. At this rate I don't think I will meet my goal of 148 or less by the new year. With less than four weeks to go, I will be happy if I get down to 150-152 by then! Oh, well. I will try to step up my indoor activity over the next few weeks to see if I can adjust the energy in/vs. energy out enough to lose another 4-5 lbs. by January 1st.

    Enjoy your day everyone!
    💗Carole

    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.

    @Walela617 Carole hope you are feeling better. I stopped at my fourth covid shot. I am pretty sure I had covid but never tested positive. I am thinking I am asymptomatic. But I do get some doozy flu's once in awhile.

    My weigh-in for Wednesday was 194lbs. I am trying to hit 190lbs. I still believe I can do it. I will be traveling alot in the next two weeks. I am thinking that should help. I don't indulge too much when I travel.
    Cheers Mary

    Hi Mary, (@Bemybestby60)

    Thanks so much for your well wishes!🌹 My sister stopped at (I think) 5 shots and she's had COVID three times, two hospitalized, but she has rheumatoid arthritis and is immunocompromised. (Hope that flu stays away from YOU!) I am feeling a little better today. My headache is gone and I was able to work from home today, although I'm still testing vividly positive with mild symptoms and a slight fever. My right ear feels blocked as well, but I guess it's part of the congestion.6pc48uegt730.jpgWe have three weeks until the new year. I think 4 lbs. gone by then is a very reasonable goal. I think you can do it! (I'd like to do the same.)

    Best wishes for your upcoming traveling.

    Have a nice night,
    💗 Carole

    Hi everyone,

    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!

    Many thanks for your well wishes, @Bemybestby60! I am no longer running a temp and my COVID test is now negative. I still have some residual symptoms like ear congestion but it's not too bad. I just need more rest, I think.

    Best wishes for your travels and a safe journey home!
    💌Carole
