😀😀😀***December 2024 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

mtaratoot

@enlightenme3 is still traveling, so I'm posting this month's challenge on their behalf.

😀 Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. 😀

I joined MFP in February 2018. I had been trying on and off to lose some extra weight. MFP gave me the tools I needed to lose 30 pounds, and I have tried to keep it off since then. I've mostly been successful, but there for sure have been times when I slid back. Only continued vigilance will work to be successful, and fortunately that's possible! It can be nice to have short- and medium-term goal to break down a larger goal into more manageable chunks. So a monthly challenge with a weekly check-in is GREAT. I've been contributing to this challenge for several years, and with @enlightenme3 temporarily away, I'll try to keep it running.

Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.

You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress better😀. I'm setting this month up for Saturday check-in. Do what works best for YOU.

Pick whatever unit suits you -- pounds, kilograms, stones, or even Newtons.

Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.

It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!😀

Best of luck to everyone - have fun! 😀😀

Total loss for December: I start the month a tenth of a pound heavier than I started the year. Now I have a real challenge to end the year on a loss.

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.


12/01-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.0)- Well, here is the expected gain after our family Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I really didn’t feel like I ate very much as I got full pretty quickly. However, there are so many starches / carbs that I’m just not used to having all at once. Hopefully some of this will flush out. December will be tough because I have to travel so much, every time I need to shop for Christmas. Living in a very remote rural area is beautiful but very inconvenient at times, especially this time of year! We are expecting 4 more inches of snow today but I won’t complain. A town about 60 miles from me just got a record snowfall of 25” on Friday beating a record that had been held since 1942. Winter is officially here in my neck of the woods!

Thank you, @mtaratoot !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out since we have our Grandson every morning. He's 2 years old and a pistol!!
