Well I expected a really bad week for the group, but overall everyone did really good.

Big ups go to ClaryPR who is the biggest loser again this week. I think we need a new challenge for the group. so be creative. Cah0806 gets an honorable mention for

As for me, I was bad, haven't recorded my calories or exercise over the holiday, but somehow still lost weight. (probably all muscle weight)

    As bad as my weight looks on that chart, I have already lost most of it back, thank goodness!

    Thanks, Jack for the chart!

    Thanks for the chart Jack. Congrats to everybody for making it through the holiday. Now it is time to get back on the wagon and stay out of the holiday leftovers (I am mostly talking to myself). Off to bed for me. Sleep well:yawn:

    I figured as much, 9/10 times all that weight gain is sodium and gets flushed out in a couple days.
  • Again. I've lost 13 pounds and today I am 30 days beginning the diet. My mini goal for December is down at least 12 pounds. I'm not very good at making challenges but if someone wants to do for my welcome.

    I know it will go better this week at all. We Cheer up....

    Good luck to all.

    Happy Thursday...As of today, I am within 8 pounds of my original goal of 150. Yoo Hoo! Hopefully I can lose a few more during the Christmas holiday, we'll see. My bootcamp officially starts again January 10 so I am going to try to do P90X on my own until then. This is when I usually fail but my only other option is the 5 am Insanity class and I am not an early bird:laugh: I am excited to go to the Biltmore House this coming Saturday with my step-mom and sister. We are having an all girls day. My hubby and oldest son hate going and my youngest already went with his class on a field trip this year. It should be a fun day. Talk to ya'll later.

    Susan...Congrats. I'll take any loss!

    Amanda...I was up some after my holiday meals too but it went away with extra water intake.

    Jack...This time of year is hard for everybody. You'll get back in the swing of things.

    Clary...Congrats on meeting your first goal!

    Tammy, I am at 159 lbs, so we are very close to the same weight. How tall are you?

    I got up at 4:45 with the youngest so I got my 30 minutes in on the treadmill. I am happy to have it done but hopefully will do something else this today.

    Amanda...I am about 5'4". How tall are you? The chart at my doctor's office says I should weigh about 130 at the most. I bought some size 10 jeans last night and they fit good. I think maybe 145 will be my final goal. I don't want to be skinny, just fit.

    I am also 5'4" and 140 is my finally goal. I originally had my goal at 120 and after having 3 kids and wanting another one I just don't think that is very realistic for me. I want to look good but know that my body has changed in lots of ways after having babies. I also want to look fit, not like I am going to fall over when the wind blows.

    Hi guys...Sorry, missed weigh in yesterday. Had a heavy workload and typed til after 5:30 (my fault of course, could've worked on the weekend but once again procrastinated) lol. My weight was 157.4 this morning but I probably missed the chart. Hope you all have a great day. TTYL.

    Hi all...I just finished chest and back day 1 of P90X plus the Ab Ripper X with my oldest son. We burned about 375 cals in an hour, which is not too bad, but I sure hate push-up day:grumble: He is going to do it with me while my class is on break until January 10. Hopefully we can stick with it. I'll talk to y'all tomorrow.

    Have a good night.
