    Ok I'm cheating this week and doing my weigh-in for this group a day early for 2 reasons:

    1) I've hit not just a new low weight, but my lowest ever ADULT weight! The last time I was in the 130's I was in 4th grade
    2) it's my office Christmas party tonight and I know there is no way I'll be this weight tomorrow morning :laugh:

    Earlier in the week I was SO bloated my weight actually fluctuated up to 146 so I'm a little surprised to see this number today.

    SW: 234
    CW: 141.4

    Weigh in Dates:

    12/8 143 (retaining a ton of water right now!! I was actually down to 140.2 Saturday morning)
    12/14 139.6 :drinker:

    I hate fluid - I hate even more not being able to take fluid tablets... Have however managed to take them regularly for the last few days - so hoping weight is a relatively accurate representation of what i currently am... Although - if there is a few more kg of water weight in there and it also 'falls off' before christmas with regular tablet taking - I wont complain... I feel hitting double digits before christmas is unlikely. (it realistically always was) I seem to be hovering between 105 & 108 for the last year (after losing 35kg in the previous year) - So would be happy just to crack the 105kg mark & know i can do it... *sigh*

    SW: 143.8kg (317lb)
    CW: 108kg (239lb)
    GW: 99.9 (220lb) (to start the new year in double digits!)

    Weigh in Dates: Unsure - I weigh most days - but will be travelling a lot - so - when near MY scales first thing in the morning :)
    2/12/13 - 108kg (238lb)
    15/12/13 - 106.8 (235.4lb)

    CW: 193.8 11/17/13
    GW: 193.6 12/28/13 Anything lower than my current low.

    Weigh in Dates:
    12/1 - 200.2 (I am HOLIDAY bloated! I'm not trying to lose 5 pounds this month, just trying to see any new low, here for support!)
    12/8 - 196.0 (Very happy with losing the holiday bloat so far, now just hoping for a downward trend in the following weeks!)
    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.)
    12/22 -
    12/28 -
    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    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.

    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.

    SW: (Starting weight) 186 Joined MFP in March 2013 sad

    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Total weight lost: 4# (glad to see the scale moving in the right direction)


    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. ....
