    Weighed in today! Lost 5 pounds since starting this challenge on Dec 1! (Yes, I know my slider says 4 lbs. That's because I had gained a pound between starting myfitnesspal and the start of this awesome December challenge.)

    Thank you for this GREAT GROUP!!!!! :D

    I have only got two choices today, lose the December challenge by going over the budget or go for 5 minutes walk in -5C:) Will do my best to do the latter!

    Went to party last night but drank only bottled water ???? then I made sure I ate only enough food to stop me from being hungry. I also took a four mile walk because in the morning my hot drink in town turned out to have 485 calories in it ???? today our day didn't go as planned so I didn't get my walk in but hubbie dropped me off on the way home so I could walk the rest of the way to get in some exercise. I also walked my friends drive twice as it's 1/4 mile long ???? so, thanks to the challenge I'm still on track and haven't spent the weekend being a pie muncher....as my daughter would say ????

    I have to say this challenge is awesome, awesome, awesome. It has kept me exercising every day. It's amazing how easy it is if you "just do it". I did Richard Simmon's again and my 21 yr old and 25 yr old boys were joking and doing some also. I'm keeping up with everything, no sweets etc. I made knox blocks with diet jello -- nice snack. Thank you for this challenge it is really working for me.

    Doing great so far. I found a gym in the hotel I was staying in friday so I decided to try the bicycle. Before, I would not have notice there was a gym. I ate in a restaurant since I was traveling and I found in the menu some light meals and the number of calories was written right there so I ordered on of them.

    Had an unplanned weigh in yesterday, lost nearly 1Kg in the last week, which I did not see coming. Very pleased.

    Before joining this group I always set myself a goal of having 4/5 days in a row where I stuck to my alloted calories and never managed it. Can't believe it's been nearly 10 now and I'm still on track. Needed the discipline and motivation. Thank you!

    Omg I was up at 6:20am so I could take my daughter to her bus and go walking after! Hubbie always does this...mornings and me don't go ???? Apart from that it's my day off!
    So day 10 and I'm still in....plus I have lost another 2lb this week (weigh in on a Tuesday) so I am stupidly happy right now. Thanks for setting up this challenge ????

    Just noticed number of members have been reduced by almost half. It means they have been removed from the group as they lost the challenge? Enlighten me:bigsmile:
    Just the 11the day and I can tell keeping within calories is not easy and found it quite surprising how 20 minutes workouts are so difficult to fit in the office routine. I have to make sure to take time out for this. I am beginning to appreciate this challenge even more:flowerforyou:

    I'm still going strong, I have a mind set of discipline. At work a patient brought in chocolate candies from Poland. I didn't even try one. I'm so glad. I've found writing down everything and thinking about what I'm going to eat keeps me in line. I am also exercising every day thanks to this group. Have a great day everyone.

    Well done; my office is also bursting at the seems with choc treats, cakes etc... I did have a couple a few days back, but they were budgeted for. But this challenge helps a lot with focus and discipline.
