Christmas Challenge start weight: 183.5
Current weight: 169.4
Lost this week: .2 lbs
Challenge total: 14.1
5.9 lbs to go for the challenge.
Not much of a loss this week, but I believe some of it is simple the lingering effects of Thanksgiving. I was down about 1.7 lbs. Thursday morning, and am assuming I'll be back there in a day or two as my one day of indulgence clearly didn't cause a permanent weight gain of 1.5 lbs.

I have been up nearly 3 lbs most of the week. Some finally dropped yesterday and today, but I am still up for no reason that I can pinpoint. I'm just going to keep on going and maybe this week will be extra good. I really want to make it to 164 by Xmas!
Good luck everyone and great job, Anna!

Total loss this week is 0. Hopefully next week will be better since I went and bought an exercise bike finally and will use that to start working out more. Plus Thanksgiving was just too much eating and not enough exercise this week.
Great job everyone who lost weight and keep your heads up if you gained any weight you will be able to lose it again in no time.0 -

My body is weird (or is it just me weird in general?). It will chill out at the same weight for several weeks then just drop like crazy - over the course of 4 days this week, I dropped 7 lb??? But yay! finally I've achieved my 15 lb lost goal. Highly doubt I can lose 4.8 pounds in 3-1/2 weeks, especially considering the number of parties I have to attend, and vacation. But the 20 lbs goal was always aggressive for me considering I'm ~10 lbs away from the end of my journey.
As we roll in to December - keep up your exercise, your logging, and try to balance your food choices with all the temptations out there!
GW: 159.8, will see how I feel in the 155-157 range ish0 -
1.3lbs down this week... lol, was hoping to reach the 160s, so near... so hopefully next week!! I've ordered an elliptical trainer / exercise bike combined... hubby's Christmas pressie to me! Gotta wait to 13th Dec for delivery... but can't wait for it to arrive. Then will have no excuses but to exercise!
Congratulations everyone for sticking at it... hard work, but just look at what we're accomplishing and I know for me, keep being accountable to you all is helping with motivation.
Keep up the great work everyone!

Gained two pounds but I also took a break in logging this weekend! Right after Thanksgiving we took a weekend away and we pretty much just ate and walked around the city the whole time. I am not surprised about the gain but hoping some of it is water weight. Gonna hit the gym hard this week!0 -

Okay, it's official. I'm not going to meet the goal by the deadline. I think that this slow down is due to my new, tougher, work out routine. I'm fine with this, I just dropped a pants size this morning! I'll keep going. Congrats to all further along than me.0
