    Not very excited I stayed the same...but I have to look at the positive - I didn't gain anything and I am still down a pound and a half since this time last month. Anything will do! Holiday travels pretty much started for me and my husband two weekends ago...(we live on the opposite side of the state than our families...so we always have to travel to all family/friend functions! BOOOO...)...so it's getting harder and harder. I have a feeling this week's weigh in is not going to be good. Keeping my fingers crossed. Need to work harder!!! I CAN DO IT!:ohwell:

    I don't really have a Christmas goal but want to lose 8 pounds before New Year's Eve. That will bring me to the lowest weight that I was this year. Then I have 19 more pounds to go after that next year.

    Monday, November 23rd - Weigh In

    Starting Weight: 193
    Starting Group Weight: 185
    Last Week: 176
    Current Weight: 176
    X-Mas Goal: 173
    Pounds to X-Mas Goal: 3

    Same weight as last week. I just have to keep on trekking. Hopefully I will make it to my goal by Christmas, if not really close. This could be because I haven't been the greatest on my calories the last few days. Just a little over which may keep me from losing. So, now I need to do better on the calories and work out diligently this week. (Well, with a little break for thanksgiving dinner).
  • i won't be able to put my weigh in this for this week. i'm not feeling good. i'll post my weigh in next week . good luck everyone and i hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving.
  • hi everyone, how is everyone doing to reach their goals. i feel alittle bit better so i exercise yesterday. i did 20 min. turbo jam and billy blanks taebo fat burn accelerator.

    I am doing well. I did my weekly Wednesday weigh in (I post on Mondays here to be consistent) and I am down 1lb. So I only have 2 more to go until Christmas. That is definitely feasible in a month. :smile:

    I am glad you are feeling a bit better. I hope you feel completely better soon!

    Half way there, probably won't make 20 lbs by Christmas. More like 15, maybe. Hoping for 20 by New Years :)

    28.4 lbs. of baby weight down
    3.6 lbs. until pre-baby weight

    Pretty happy with staying about the same weight! We were away from home all of Thanksgiving week and it is very hard for me to be good on vacation! And then I took it out on myself by not starting back on MFP again until the middle of the week...I know it's not a good punishment, but I just couldn't help myself. I was SOOOO expecting to have gained weight. I think that is the motivation I needed to get back on track. Three weeks to lose 3.6 pounds...I CAN DO IT!
  • i'm very pround of myself. i know i'm losing alot of inches, because the 10 are getting pretty lose and i can fit into a size 8 with no problem. in fact their getting quiet lose around the waist.

    Hey Everyone

    Weighed in today at 187 - So that's four pounds this month and still 11 more by by xmas.
    I will be very happy if I can get under 180 by then. I'm finding my weight loss very slow -any suggestions?
