12/15 - 201.0 (I don't know why I'm here because I'm not trying - obviously. I hate winter, I love baking, I love comfort foods.)

12/8- Had a good week staying under calorie goal, only one day was over goal by 248, that is a HUGE improvement for me. Here's to another great week ahead!
12/15- Really let myself go downhill this week. I baked, I ate, I feel bad and now I'm dwelling on what I can do to get this train back on the tracks. The weight I am up this week, it's probably more than just water weight, I'm really out of control.0 -
Week 2 is complete for me. I still need to focus on drinking my water which I haven't been and moving more now that my classes are over. Going to look into finding a local fitness gym both me and my DS can do together that is going to be a present to us both.
Goals for this week ... move more, drink my water, and do Christmasy things to do with DS!

This is my first time joining this group and looking for encouragement and support to get on track and get healthy.

Hope everyone has made some progress on your monthly goal. This is a good idea to focus on especially before we go into the Christmas and New Year's Holidays. All that food. Maybe I need to rethink what I bring and serve even though they are traditions for us. ....0 -

I am getting back into this as I just suffered a miscarriage and am trying to keep myself occupied from this tragedy. Getting back into fitness and maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle will only benefit me and our future efforts to get pregnant again. We are planning on trying again after the first of the year possibly in February. I am hoping to be down at least another 5-10 pounds by February.0 -

I'm not sure this necessarily counts as a tradition since basically everyone does it, but I really, deeply love wrapping presents. I put an embarrassing amount of effort into the wrapping. Creative papers and ribbons (or twine, yarn, etc), unconventional methods of tying the ribbons, handmade gift tags. It's a borderline hobby at this point.0 -
