    Quite happy with my tiny weight loss as I haven't been to the gym at all this weekend and have indulged quite a bit since my Mum is staying with me at the moment... So I take those 400g and say 'Thank you very much!' I'll be going to the gym a lot this week though...

    Changed the batteries in my scale and now I weigh 8 pounds more than last week. I don't think this amount of weight gain is possible, based on what I've been eating. So my new starting weight will be 219.4 and my new goal weight will be 217.4

    GW: 260 lbs by the December 26th, my normal weigh in day, but will re-weigh in on the 29th.

    12/1 : 269
    12/8 : 269 - ugh I'm still the same, my body is still adjusting from a liquid diet I was on for 3 months.

    I'm not sure this necessarily counts as a tradition since basically everyone does it, but I really, deeply love wrapping presents. I put an embarrassing amount of effort into the wrapping. Creative papers and ribbons (or twine, yarn, etc), unconventional methods of tying the ribbons, handmade gift tags. It's a borderline hobby at this point.

    Ok I'm cheating this week and doing my weigh-in for this group a day early for 2 reasons:

    1) I've hit not just a new low weight, but my lowest ever ADULT weight! The last time I was in the 130's I was in 4th grade
    2) it's my office Christmas party tonight and I know there is no way I'll be this weight tomorrow morning :laugh:

    Earlier in the week I was SO bloated my weight actually fluctuated up to 146 so I'm a little surprised to see this number today.

    I hate fluid - I hate even more not being able to take fluid tablets... Have however managed to take them regularly for the last few days - so hoping weight is a relatively accurate representation of what i currently am... Although - if there is a few more kg of water weight in there and it also 'falls off' before christmas with regular tablet taking - I wont complain... I feel hitting double digits before christmas is unlikely. (it realistically always was) I seem to be hovering between 105 & 108 for the last year (after losing 35kg in the previous year) - So would be happy just to crack the 105kg mark & know i can do it... *sigh*

    SW: 143.8kg (317lb)
    CW: 108kg (239lb)
    GW: 99.9 (220lb) (to start the new year in double digits!)

    Weigh in Dates: Unsure - I weigh most days - but will be travelling a lot - so - when near MY scales first thing in the morning :)
    2/12/13 - 108kg (238lb)
    15/12/13 - 106.8 (235.4lb)
