Here it is. A new month of stress and turmoil. Holiday parties galore. Sweets, fats, carbs to the extreme.
Well, what do you plan for this month?
To continue the rolling challenge, here is the December thread. Post your numbers, check in on you weigh in schedule. Share the success and challenges as a group.
If you are new and want to join in, by all means do! We love to celebrate those losses with you! This is the standard format we try to use for these threads:
My Numbers:
SW: 430 - Starting Weight, before you lost anything, and you don't have to put this here if you don't want to.
CW: 312.1 - Challenge Weight (or Current Weight) - What you weigh at the start of the Challenge.
GW: 307 - Goal Weight for this months challenge. Set for what you want to get to, but try to keep it realistic and SAFE!
LTGW: 175 - LifeTime Goal Weight. Where you think you would like to be for your ideal weight.
Weigh-ins:
Week 1: 12/01/13 = (Filled in after your first week. Since my last WI from November was 11/30, I will report each Saturday in Dec.)
Week 2:
Week 3:
Week 4:
Week 5: 12/31/13 = Monthly Challenge Close out Weight. (If you desire, or just close out with your earlier in the week WI.
So, that's probably more information than you want or need, but join us and celebrate those losses!

I'm going to continue with my trend of weighing in on Fridays. Going to try for the 6lb weight loss this month, but with a wedding, holiday celebrations, and New Year's who knows what will happen! Good luck everyone. :-)

I am going to have to wake up MUCH earlier in the morning if I want to do any moderating around here!
THANK YOU DAN! For being on top of things and sorting everything out for December. YOU ROCK!
AND WELCOME Newbs! It is so great to have some new pals to contribute to our collective loss!
We've lost HUNDREDS of pounds together--one safe and sensible pound at a time.
So no matter if you are just starting out, or if have been logging forever like the Amazing Disappearing Dan, you are welcome here.
Good logging and good luck.0 -
Awesome - thanks so much for keeping this going, Dan!
I only made it halfway to my goal of 10 lbs. lost in November, so I'm going to have to try a lot harder this month. Let's do it

CK, We do whatever works, and I think this is a brilliant plan. Although your losses have been fantastic for as long as you've been posting here. Great motivation, and let me say the pictures show your diligence!
LeAnn, welcome! The more the better for us all. We look forward to working with you for the benefit of us all!
P1xy, I thought about going for the 11 lbs this month, and my heart goal is for that, but I played it safe on my STG. The last two months have been rough, so I'm refocusing. But I'm also travelling two weeks this month again. <Oy!> What's a guy to do?
Mark, getting up early will not protect you from my endless babble! Bwhahahahaha!0 -
Thanks dward! Excited for another great month with everyone here!0

Thanks for the welcome. I really hope I can make my goal this month. I wasn't thinking about it being the holidays when I posted. But msybe posting that goal will keep my head on straight in a challenging month.0

I need to edit my CW, it's 215, a typo (ok, I subconciosly couldn't face the 1 pound weight gain). Here's to a good loss on Friday's weight in

I wasn't sure about the correct way to post my updated stats. I used copy and paste as I didn't see an Edit button. If there is another way I should be doing this, someone please let me know.0

Copy and Paste is perfect, LeAnna. You get only so much time after a post to edit it. After that, only a moderator can edit it. This is why these Monthly Challenge threads get so long!0 -

Theresa, the change has been made for you.0 -
Hey everyone! I've decided not to make a goal for December, at this point my plan is to be as sensible as possible and to log as diligently as I can. Anything under my start weight for the month will make me happy!

I'm not positive as to whether or not I will be able to make the last weigh in of the month, because I am actually leaving on the morning of the 29th to drive down to California with a friend. I might weigh in on the morning of the 28th, we will see!0
