😀😀😀***December 2025 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

mtaratoot

Happy World Soil Day (5 December), Bodhi Day (8 December), and Solstice (this year 21 December at 15:03 GMT and 07:03 where I live) around the world and Rosa Parks Day(1 December), National Gazpacho Day (6 December), National Bill of Rights Day (15 December), and Festivus (23 December), at least in the Estados Unidos.

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

😀 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.

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! 😀😀

Remember to bookmark⭐️ this group- makes it easier to find 😀

Disappointed I didn’t hit the 170s in November, but I’ll get there this month. My struggles withe HRT/post menopause are real. I can feel water weight and swelling in all my joints especially fingers and toes. It really messes with my weight and my emotions.

Wishing and praying for the best for all of us in December!

🎅🎅🎅🎅 12/01-DNW↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW) My son & I finished most of the leftovers we kept yesterday. It was pretty much like the Thanksgiving feast all over again, or slightly re-imagined. Our Big Family Feast was on Saturday. I also finished off the ½ bottle of wine while it was fresh and bubbly. There may be some of the pies left in the downstairs fridge but I’m over it and done with Thanksgiving food. Back to basics today. Good luck this round everyone. December is a tough month, usually from beginning to end, but we can do it! I love following everyone’s weight, fitness, strength and maintenance goals. Thanks to all for sharing. Let’s Go!
