    I went to yoga yesterday morning, AND went for a 45 minute walk yesterday afternoon. I'm slowly starting to make better eating choices as well. I made chili last night, with ground chicken instead of beef, and it tasted exactly the same (my indulgence was the multigrain tostito rounds to eat with it). My mom made a turkey / veg / barley soup that we're having for lunch today.

    Yay, feels good to be getting back on track. Lots more work to do, but I'm on the upswing again, instead of still free-falling into the pit. :tongue:

    I am skipping the gym tonight, as CJ and I have date night! We are going out to dinner then to see Jeff Dunham! YAY! :bigsmile: I'm trying to push the water as much as possible today, but I know I'm gonna have a few beers and yummy crap food. Oh well...gotta end the year with a bang somehow I guess! (Tonight is our New Year's together since he has to work tomorrow night.)

    4.2 for the month

    I never would have thought I'd lose 46lbs throughout this year. I started this year at 243.9lbs and I'm currently 197.4. This time last year, I was drinking 12pack of soda every 2 days, eating Taco Bell, Hardees, etc 4x a week, now it's about 2x amonth for both soda and fast food. I'm so thankful to have met you all and to have you on this journey. I can't wait to start 2011 with a bang and a 5k next weekend. I'll see you all for the next challenge.

    Great job Bru!! : ) You did amazing!!!

    Im really hoping that this will be the final year of my weight loss journey. It has been a good one and I know 13 pounds is not much, But I actually feel confident walking around in my two new pairs of pants and 10 new (secondhand) shirts Its amazing to not feel like im wearing the same baggy clothes everyday. Now I just cant wait to get to single sizes lol : )

    Iv got 40 lbs left so thank you all for continuing on with this challenge thread, I know I really love having this motivation and support. Lets make 2011 really count! : )

    I have had several ups and downs in my weight loss journey this year but in general I will say that it has been successful. I have succeeded in making a lot of lifetime changes. To top it all, I started this journey on the May the 28th at 244.4lbs and today I weighed 203.0lbs bringing it to a total of 41.4lb loss. I am sure from the way things are going that I will not make my goal to be below 200lbs tomorrow but am confident that I will achieve that in the first few weeks of January. I owe these to this site and to all of you. I am hoping 2011 will bring a bigger success.

    +4!!

    Haha! Weighing at the end of the day after eating fast food and restaurant food while sitting in the car all day stinks. I shall weigh again tomorrow morning for January's start weight and hope for the best. I know I have gained. But, I took measurements too just in case. According to the tape measure, I have lost half an inch off my waist at the navel, and from my bicep. But I've gained half an inch on my waist at the narrowest point. I'm not sure what this means, though it is -1/2 inch overall. If I wait a few days until all the fast-food salt is out of my system, I may get a more accurate reading.

    Anyway, big congratulations to everyone who lost this month! Or who was trying to maintain and maintained! As for those of you who were like me and didn't do so hot, WE'RE GONNA KILL IT IN JANUARY!

    Happy New Year!

    So sorry for your loss! Hope your heart is healing! It takes time when we lose a loved one. The older I get the more I appreciate those around me and never leave my family without hugs from them all. Including my dad who is a staunch old German who I don't think ever got a hug from his parents.

    Happy New Year to you!

    Yipee - 7.8 loss. I love this challeng!!! It keeps me so motivated as well as all of you on here. I love to here what's going on with you and your journey.

    Good luck next month.

    Dec 1st: 204.0 lbs
    Dec 6th: 204.0 lbs
    Dec 15th: 203.4 lbs
    Dec 20th: 204.0 lbs
    Dec 27th: 202.3 lbs
    Dec 31st: 204.0 lbs

    Well I guess I could say its awesome that I didn't gain an ounce the entire month of December! However I did see a 201 on my scale at one point last week :grumble: So I had to redo my ticker to reflect my gain :ohwell: I'm hoping its just sodium. I had several meals out the last week, and will be going out again tonight. However after this weekend is over I promise myself that I will be back at it.

    I have achieved a lot this year that I never thought I could do. I started out in May at 249 lbs. So going into 2011 45 lbs lighter is a great accomplishment, and I'm almost halfway to my goal. :bigsmile:

    See you all on the January thread! Happy New Year, Happy New YOU! :flowerforyou:
