Good job, Theresa! In no time you'll be in "one-derland"!!
Malia, I completely understand your sentiments. I love Christmas, but this year I was so happy to see the end to all those huge meals. I weighed on Christmas morning, so I only had one big meal prior to the weigh in...and I have a week to work off the Christmas cookies....thank goodness!!0 -

Congratulations to everybody who posted losses in December! Cheers for everyone who held the line over the holidays!
And most importantly...words of encouragement and absolution to anyone who might have perhaps...accidently...pushed the boundries of mindfulness when faced with the full reality of the range and domain of the season's temptations. To you, I draw to mind the words of the philosopher Hal Morgenstern who said, "Failure is not falling down. Failure is staying down."
January was MADE for redemption!
Me? My numbers are a mystery. I deliberately did not weigh myself this month. But I have new jeans that are a size smaller than the new jeans i bought a month ago...
When the clinic I weigh in at opens again in January...we will see if my attempt at moderation and mindful indulgence over the holidays was more successful than last year's denial/restrictions/binging that added five pounds to the problem.
But everybody who logged faithfully this month, even if you were not logging the most sound of nutritional decisions (like the ones I made), gets my grins and cheers!
You guys rock!0 -

Weigh-ins:
Week 1: 12/06/13 = 319 (-5 lbs...off to a good start - let's see if I can keep it moving! smile )
Week 2: 12/13/13 = 313.4 (-5.6 lbs. - I think the weights and eating slightly higher in my calorie range are helping :-)
Week 3: 12/20/13 = 315.4 (+2 lbs. - thinking there was too much sodium this week and water weight is back :-(...less sodium, more water this coming week!)
Week 4: 12/27/13 = (changed to 12/31/13 due to travel) 309.4 (-6 lbs. - thanks to the viral plague that graced me throughout the holiday week...ugh. Feeling better now though
Made my challenge goal and so close to the 70 lb. mark I can taste it!! Happy New Year to all and have a fun/safe time tonight 0 -

Week 3: 12/21/13 = 305.2 + .9 I say it was hubris, but more probably this darn cold. No exercise in almost a week and comfort eating. Back to my original goal? lol
Week 4: 12/28/13 =
Week 5: 12/31/13 = 302.1 -3.1 lbs (Was probably in the 200's after Disneyland, but San Diego was sedentary and a lot of good food and family. Still, showing a loss during travel... I'm overjoyed!)0 -

Well, not the greatest month for me... But with the challenges of medications from being sick, and all the holiday parties, I figure I did pretty good... On to January! A wonderful month for many reasons, one of which is my 31st Birthday on the 15th! And of course some great new fitness toys to try out from Christmas gifts! Happy New Years Fit Fam!!! :drinker:0 -
Time to close out this challenge. We have a lot of folks who started the month but haven't checked in. Like last month, I will close out the thread Sunday evening. Be sure to post your final weights if you wish to be included in the monthly tally.
Leanna, thank you for taking part. We are all the better for your participation. :-D
Malia, it was a tough month for many of us with sickness. Hope you are better, and we look forward to reports on fitness gains from the new toys. 31? Sigh, I suddenly feel very old. lol Have a Happy Birthday!
Thanks again to everyone who has participated in this most challenging month of the year!0 -
I literally squeaked by this month. Sorry I'm just logging in now, it has been very busy here with the holidays and this is my first time on the computer and not my phone in two weeks. Hoping for a better month in January.

The thread is now closed. For the extremely tough month of December, The 16 people reporting losses totalled 74.9 lbs lost.
Congratulations to those folks who blew it out of the water this month: Emmerin78 and leannabseven who both posted double digit losses.
Not bad peeps, not bad at all. January is here. Let's have the best month yet!0
