    12/1: 190.6

    12/3: 194.2 (huh?? wha??? I know my ankles are swollen. My legs are swollen up to my knees. Funny, my toes aren't swollen this time. BUT FOUR POUNDS IN TWO DAYS?!?!? REALLY?!??!?!)

    12/10: 188.6 (well, I thought I was DONE with all of that, but... :-( Well, at least I know who I had all the water weight. Should have a better weight by next week.) Well, can't blame it on just TOM. Went to an all-you-can-eat fish fry on Friday night, and I'm sure the salt is still trying to get flushed out of my system.

    12/17: 192.4 (back up again??? Let's see...no exercise for 8 days...4 buffets in a week...didn't drink enough water (maybe about 4-5 glasses each day) for the entire week...worked (sitting down) 9-10 hr days and had a 6-day week. Hmmmm...wonder why I didn't lose any weight.

    12/24: 187.4 Well, this is better. Lost what I gained last week and less than I was 2 wks ago.

    I didn't keep good records because we were travellling and I didn't have access to scales for most of the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I passed 5 lbs and stayed below it. Yay!

    12/10: 184.2 (sighs, not the best start to this, but last week was my TOM and fiance had heart surgery, next week will be better)

    12/17: 184 (this sucks! I've been working my *kitten* off, watching my calories like a hawk! Next week I'll get a christmas miracle:))

    12/24: 184. All week long I weighed 182. Woke up today, expecting to see 182. Not so much/: Merry Christmas to me.

    12/31 Soooo 181! I didn't lose the 10 lbs I wanted to, crazy me had it in my head for several months that's what I wanted to weigh by the end (of this year), But I lost 4 lbs during the holidays plus several days of stress and lots of hours in a hospital while my fiance had heart surgery. Also, I fit into my goal dress nicely. I've lost from this time last year several sizes. I was bursting out of a generous 18 and am down to a nice solid 10:) Great job to everyone that stuck with it, either because of or inspite of the scale. Now on to 2013!
