    I am posting a day late because I couldn't bring myself to weigh in the day after Thanksgiving. I lost about half a pound more, now at 185.2. My goal had been to get to 185 and then maintain through December. On top of the holidays I will have family visiting for over a week, a grandson's birthday, and a party for my mom's 80th birthday. So I feel maintenance would be fantastic. Especially since I gain through the holidays !

    Lost a lb this week. So one lb closer to my goal. I'm starting to dread getting on the scale. It seems what I do doesn't always have an effect on my weight loss. Sometimes I'm really good all week with diet and exercise, and then I gain a lb. I wasn't so good on Wednesday, although I was good the rest of the week. Was surprised when I lost. I'll take it!

    How'd ya'll do?

    Every lb counts! Congratulations:) don't forget fluid fluctuations will show up on the scale...it's the scale ultimately going down over time that shows you yes! you are going the right way...


    As for me:

    Weight this morning was 282

    Lost 2 lbs :):)

    I'm sure one of those is thanks to a big poo just prior to weighing in...and I'm taking it hahahahahahahaha!

    Back in "okay maintenance" range." I've been at the top of my maintenance range for a few weeks and that makes me nervous. I tightened up my eating this week and feel better.

    I have the same problem. I will do good sticking with my diet and gain 2 lbs. Then Give up and blow it and go down 3. Then I always wonder how much better I would have done if I hadn't blown it!

    Yeah! I made my goal of getting to 185. I was 184.7 this morning. I didn't make the goal by Thanksgiving but only about a week late so I am feeling fantastic. Now to maintain that through December! I CAN DO IT!

    No worries - you will do it! Even though it will still seem tough, because Christmas is just like that, Everything on offer will be high cals!

    As for me... I weighed in yesterday and have had another week of maintenance. It seems my body does this, several weeks same, then a 2 or 3lb loss, then stuck at the same point again. I swear the needle on our scales must be sticky!!! :tongue:

    So maybe that's what my body is doing too. Some weeks I can lose 2 lbs, and then nothing for a week or two. Maybe thru the holidays I should be content with that and try not to gain. Hmmmm.

    In maintenance range, but close to the top. I was actually above at the beginning of the week. My hormones are out of control, and I've been lifting really heavy. I'm trying to increase my calories by 100-200 a day so I can build some muscle mass, but the weight fluctuations and scale creep are totally freaking me out!

    Dropped 1 lb this week! I am sure if I was able to exercise I would be able to do better...and I think a lot of my loss is due to not being able to eat the full amount suggested, I am doing what I can though...Congrats to all that lost or maintained this week..Good luck for next week

    I have been terrible about participating on the different days and I appologize for that. I will try to do better. I know it would help me stay motivated.
    I have changed my goal to maintenance through December to try to reduce stress and guilt feelings. But for some reason I have still been dropping. Fridays weight was 181.5. Because it happened so fast I expect to gain some back but it felt great anyway. My goal is to maintain at 183 until after New Years.

    Well I did go up this week by 1 pound. Now 182.5. I didn't record it because I have been eating high sodium so I am hoping to go back down. Still under my maintenance goal so that is good but I would like to get a little under because I can see me gaining a lite during Christmas and New Year

    I was back down this morning. 181.3! Very excited to get under 180. I fully expect to go up through the holidays. We are going on a little getaway between Christmas and the New Year so I will be eating out in between parties. But my goal was not to go over 183. If I do I know I can get it right back off.
